Greatest solo ever by Bobby:




So it looks like Richie is out for the rest of the leg of this tour. I remember reading an article that said that he might be back by the April 19th show in L.A.

TMZ is who reported Richie wanted to be back with the band for his "hometown show" of LA. It was crap. Bj.com had posted with the original announcement that Richie would be out this whole leg.

That's what I figured -- this sucks. I'm going to the San Jose show and it wont be the same. At least I got cheap upper deck tickets instead of the ridiculous pit seats or whatever this time around. I would want them to cancel this leg of the tour. However, most people probably don't even care.

The solo is so embarrassing. He serves no purpose in the band. They would be better off using a backing track for filler parts.

man this whole thing sucks. Phil X stepping up as a replacement should have been a one time only thing. I'm not blaming the poor guy, he's a wonderful musician. On the other hand, I don't think it's fair to point our fingers at Jon for allowing the tour to go on.

We don't really know what's happened. What if there was no feud at all ? what if he REALLY needed to attend a personal matter of his, whatever it was ? What was Jon to do ? postpone the whole leg? The man's a workaholic and he believes that carrying on is the only thing to do.

My guess is that he doesn't realize how vital Richie Sambora is in that band in the eyes of the public. But then again, a lot of people couldn't care less who the 'backing band' is. They're there to watch a 'Jon Bon Jovi' show. This wouldn't happen in Europe and I guess Jon knows it.

on the other hand.. I'm truly sad and somewhat disgusted by all this. If this is bound to happen on every tour from now on, they might as well call it a day.

Where is Richie?? I know, I know that is the million dollar question and we would not have a hundred page thread if we knew the answer but where is he?

We see pics of the band from the tour but close to a week later and no one has seen Richie? TMZ who were so quick to jump on the story, haven't got a picture of him? Is he hiding somewhere, no one can find him? I think he could be in a detox program that really is the personal matter. Maybe not the full rehab experience as per last time but a program all the same.

He is always going to be a recovering acholic. Could it be while in Hawaii, he started drinking again? Not to the extent that he could not stand up but his on vacation, what's one beer? One wine? Then on the way back to the tour, he realized that it could be starting again and he just needed a little help again before going on the road. Jon said on stage life is full of bumps (bump in recovery?) But he will be back. He hasn't spoken to him (can't talk to patients in programs) No one is saying.

Or has this already been discussed and dismissed on page 50? Its just weird no one has spotted him. I've seen Heather and Ava since but no Richie.
