Maybe Richie would win back then but now he would get tired too quickly, Jon's in much better shape and doesn't wear women's undies. Unless he had the advantage of the first punch being a damaging one, I couldn't see him winning a fight....

He'd just send Nikki in to bitch slap Jon and put an end to the whole thing.

The rest of them just fall in line with their boss, as you would.

So Jon saying ‘ask Richie’ and ‘he will be the guitarist ‘til he says he’s not’ is either spot on – because Richie is being a twat – or extremely sly and savvy because Richie feels Jon has made his position untenable. The point, which you and everyone seems to forget is, we don’t know what’s happened and just because Jon speaks to a journalist from a tabloid in a room at The Dorchester, doesn’t make his statements any more truthful than Richie speaking to his publicist and that publicist taking that story to a tabloid site. Both are using the avenues available to them.

Don’t forget, Jon made the same statement about Alec always being the only official Bon Jovi bass player and that was a pretty hollow statement considering he was a drunk who got fired. Jon knows how to play games with the press and put the pressure on Richie and who knows, maybe RS deserves it.

I’ll just reserve judgement until one of them comes out with the truth. But this affects the band and the fans, so I think we’re owed a statement FROM the band.

Agree with all this.

I think that the reviews the band put up are hints to us that Richie has gone completely.

They must read it before posting it. Otherwise, it could just be completely irrelevant to what went on at the show. (Different songs etc...) so someone must read the reviews.

I agree , he wont be back ever ..... Im accepting that now and lookin forward to some more solo stuff . Still pissed i forked out 800 for half a bj show but its done . I also dont think tico will be back this year .

I really think now Ticos ill JBJ should pull the plug on the tour.

Only 2 original members are on stage every night.

Isnt that the nostalgia act JBJ didnt want BJ to be!

If he wanted to do that I think he already would have.

Just in case, who plays keyboard in Kings of Suburbia so I can get used to the name if sth. happens with David?

So, Richie will be jammin' with fabric live and in person along with yoko at Von Maur store outside of Chicago on Oct. 12.

And now Phil is featured alone in official Bon Jovi pictures for sale. Seems pretty clear he is not filling in. He's Bon Jovi's new lead guitarist.
