Thanks for the video! :cool:

And here's Guess Who's confirmation of the friendship:

Aloha !

Even in that video, as soon as Howard is actually asking Richie about his friendship with Page, Richie's face shows so much insecurity that it, once again, makes me wonder as to how much of this is true.

I reckon he's seen him a couple of times, but that's about it. If they'd have been going to gigs together there'd be loads of picture of it on the internet, yet there's just one of them hanging out at a Def Leppard show in 2008 when he happened to be in London anyway. I'm not buying it, and the sad thing is that pretty much anything Richie says nowadays is just complete bullshit.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

:rolleyes: Aren't you ever tired of always sounding like a broken record? Just saying.

Anyway. Here's what my great friend Google shows me and ain't that funny?!

And David Coverdale tweeted this photo last Friday:

There's probably more stuff but I have a life and I don't spend it surfing the Net!


BTW, if your theory
is correct and we apply it to other artists, here's what we could say for example:
Jon recently tweeted that he had attended the "Finding Neverland" premiere, if he'd have been going to this show there'd be loads of pictures of it on the internet and yet I couldn't find one anywhere...

So, when there's no photo on the internet, does it prove that the artists lie or does it prove that the internet generation has no common sense at all? ;)

I insist on the same. That video of Jimmy Page in 1993. They are the words of itself Page, is not a message on twitter or a radio interview where Richie himself said ... in this video Jimmy Page says the magic words. Yes, a long time ago, but damn, you know how are these elite musicians, this is not about being the best friends ever and forever, is having a friendship and respect for their work/music.

Richie has played with Jimmy Page, Bryan May (He said That Richie is a great singer), Van Halen, Joey Perry, BB King (c'mon man, jamming with BB is already a recognition, no matter if he calls you Ricky Sombraro, remains a ****ing honor!), Slash (on several occasions), Eric Clapton (he collaborated on their first album), and was a good friend of Les, you know, Les Paul. He also played the last year with Dolly Parton and Zack Brown, I admit that it was somewhat bizarre but .. hey! It was fun as hell! and now .... with Buddy Guy.


Glastonbury Festival with Dolly

CMA Fest with Zack Brown

NAMM TEC Awards with Slash


Not bad for such an underrated guitarist, that now is only a shadow of what a day he was.
Keep Calm. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll.


.

yes and when Dolly's team broke the news the Sambora/Sombrero was joining them onstage they all shook their head and laughed as "there's no way that asshole can keep up with us"

:D

The guy was killer. now he's a slouch.

yeah, that's what I mean, it was very bizarre. Reminded me a bit of Back to The Future, when Marty Mcfly plays well, but in the end everything is out of control, and people reaction, including musicians on stage, left with face WTF!, thinking... what the hell are you doing man??.

Richie played with Buddy Guy before, at least once, when Richie presented an award to Eric Clapton during a music awards show. He played with Eric Clapton, Lou Reed, Buddy Guy and Bo Diddley.

He's met a lot of fine musicians in 3 decades, played with some, befriended with some...

He even played with movie star (ahem!) Frank Stallone! :p

Now please don't tell me he'll be doing this:
http://atwww.rocklegendscruise.com/

Bet He will, she was signed up for some charity show the 25th in LA and it now has him listed too so he'll join this I suspect. Plus Greg Allman is on the bill and his daughter is part of the new crew - makes sense. (He didn't go on the billing for her Las Vegas Hard Rock Gig Jan 3rd and it was cancelled so seems they "need/require" one another)

Yeah, of course I know he will... unless they split up before Jan. 2016...
There's also Brooklyn Allman's half-brother on the list, it seems to be a family reunion!

Surprisingly, Richie not mentioned at all in her biog on that site.
