I know what you mean but keep in mind that he was there at a moments notice the second time. He's had to put up with plenty of haters that will hate his guts just for the fact that he's in Richie's rightful spot on stage. He's had to learn a shitload of songs in a relatively short amount of time. He's recorded with the band. Has he been there as long?? No he hasn't, but 2 tours, and 60+ songs later, yeah he's earned his place.....

Actually, I always have the impression that over 80% of Bergman's shots are JBJ shots...

I don't think anyone would or could debate that. As much of a let down he's turned out to be, he'll always be the co-writer of some of my favorite songs, and a huge influence on me picking the guitar and wanting to write songs and making music such an important part of my life. I would bet that a lot of Bon Jovi fans feel the same way....

Of course he's not. He's just hired help. A modern day maid. Just like Hugh. And that's how he'll remain.

He has done his best. Which is more than Sambora has given the last few months while sniffing knickers.

Absolutely agree with you on that, but there are the fans that really don't care who replaces Richie or even if he comes back as long as it means Jon is on the road and they get to see him. Sad I know, and I really do not consider them fans of the band, more a fan of Jon.
