So what stadiums did RS play on his over exaggerated tour of Europe? He said he played festivals and stadiums. Weren't the only stadium shows also festivals where they had the worst time slots available?

Haha, how can you assure me? Has Jon told you personally that he wants a wig just like Richie's?

and?

Thanks for proving my point.

I always visit Japan on my trips to Europe.

The best part was prior to the start of the song when the reporter asked one of the kids if he liked Richie. It was just so awkward.

Anyway, that performance sounded more like a rehearsal to me. Richie is navigating through the entire song and his voice continues to sound off. Unlike Jon's vocal issues, Richie's voice just keeps cracking. The very first rehearsal when they are all sitting on the floor sounded the best imo.

That was the first time I heard Orianthi sing and although she wasn't horrible, she is just annoying. There is no value added there and she really doesn't need to be on a Richie record. Guitar, Yes! Vocals, No!

Oops! Looks like I ****ed up the links, I was having a Sambo moment, surely!


You're absolutely right, guys, the main issue here is hair. Such a big deal that someone should write a song or two about it, could be a smash hit, who knows?!
Now it's true his M.A. Batio wig is becoming distracting after a while, he definitely needs some good hair care products and advice from a professional (4'20):

:silly:

He has a habit of exaggeration - but to the casual/new fan, they know no better and buy in. Twitter is full of people now who think they are the greatest thing since rock was born...

"Full of people" is pretty relative. When I search "Sambora" there really aren't too many people talking about him at all.

While he does look (a little) better, his look is still creepy. The wig, the beard, everything. And what's it with those shoes? They look like slippers, and totally worn and dull.

The song is great, this performance just isn't. Compared to that, Jon's 2013 take on it in Australia is just musical genius.

Also what's she singing in the verses? Is that even a melody? And her voice just doesn't fit the choir, who are all singing the same note btw, which doesn't help the arrangement.
