Well, Jon is the leader and the band member who was signed to the record contract. The rest of the band - including Sambora - were hired by Jon. He could’ve made it a solo act, but chose to form a group using just his last name. That said, I too prefer Sambora over Bon Jovi in some ways, but I believe Jon is the more talented songwriter.
Still love this song. Richie Sambora is still amazing!!! I'm so blessed I was born in 72, I got to grow up listening to the best music ever!!! Including 80's hair bands we ROCKED!!!
@@spspcards1If the kids had good HS in ‘80’s parents like my kids- they got exposed to it! 😂 And our 23 & 25 yr old both listen to stadium rock & hair metal.
I've been to a shit load of concerts...God knows I can't count lol - - but I'll say this seeing Zac Brown is hands down one of the best shows ever!!! What a F----ing show!!!
I never get tired of seeing / hearing this song played live, particularly when Mr S is at the wheel. Hopefully he never tires of playing it, either. Thx to all, for this fine performance!
Richie Sambora can sing. I love this song, and it's definitely one of my Bon Jovi hits. How awesome is it that Zac got to sing with Richie? A memory he will never forget. Awesome performance by two great musicians.
I've been a Richie Sambora fan ever since the release of his solo album "Stranger In This Town" back in 1991 which has always been one of my all time favorite albums.. It is so awesome to see him still performing so well after all of these years! If you haven't heard the album yet, please check it out.. It is awesome all the way from beginning to end!
Honestly ZBB the most all around talented band ever. Diversity and variety is unlimited. Thank you for bringing joy to my life ❤ music is my religion ✝️
dear Dominguez Household - yes he does ! There are a slew of those guys/bands I listened to [ even some from the 70's ha😂ha ] continue to sound astonishing. I shall admit there are some that should've hung it all up !!! ***And as a side note, let's be reminded how great a fiddle sounds in a rock-n-roll band***including the likes of Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention, Mahavishnu Orchestra & John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.....to name only a few. Let's keep rock-n-roll 🎸 🎤 🥁 🎻 alive forever ‼‼
I like jovi tunes better when Richie sings the ones he wrote. That way you can hear how they were meant to be. Raw, Bluesy, in your face rock tunes. Richie without doubt one of our generations best musicians.
The real reason is there isn't much that the ZBB can't cover and cover well. They are truly an ultimate cover band that hit it with mainstream success of their own.
I’m blown away you never heard of Zac Brown Band. Amazing group. And they are known for singing cover songs at their concerts! This song is amazing. Check them out singing Metallica’s Enter Sandman!
I have so much respect for Richie Sambora! As a dedicated Bon Jovi fan since 1984, I, along with many loyal Bon Jovi fans, am nervously but eagerly awaiting a possible Bon Jovi reunion. Richie’s incredible talent, passion and voice was always integral to Bon Jovi, and his performance at the 2018 R&RHOF ceremony gave fans hope that this legendary band can move forward with future performances with the King of Swing. At the same time, he is a brilliant solo artist as well. Thank you for this lovely video featuring my favorite Bon Jovi song! ❤️🎶🎸🤘
Richie just gets better with age. As a guitarist, as a vocalist, and as one of the hottest men on the planet, he never disappoints. I'll go to my grave loving him.
Richie responds perfectly to each of his lines, he is just made for that. I hope for his soon return to the group. It would be good for Jon, for himself and for all of us.
oh my god, love this. how my hubby would have lapped this up as a lover of guitar, rock, and touch of country? just all round good stuff. love Richie, such strength and presence, he does 'good' like his momma said!!!
Three half steps down from the original recording... props to Richie for being able to overcome that muscle memory after all those years playing it in a different key!
Richie never disappoints! So good! I can't wait for new music from Jon and Richie! They are a magical combo. Look how well their songs stand the test of time.❤
2:18: You pour your heart and soul into learning guitar, endure countless blisters on your fingertips, survive years of your neighbors' noise complaints, spend decades honing your skills to perfection... only to become Richie Sambora's living, breathing guitar stand for his 'Wanted Dead or Alive' solo.
One of my favourite Country bands together with my favourite rock guitarist. What an awesome performance! Could it get any better? Hardly… Thanks a lot for posting this video! 🙏
I trust in any musician this incredible talent, Richie Sambora, brings into his circle. You’ve got to trust the way every ounce of his being is feeling rhythm in song. The best always 🙌♥️
My only regret is that I have but one thumbs up to give to this performance.
Sambora just brings it.....all these years
I don’t think people have ever realized what an amazing voice Richie truly has! Loving this so much ♥️
Richie Sambora we love you, you ROCK
Richi sambora is so underrated as a singer he has amazing voice
Sambora MADE Bon Jovi with his guitar work, but even more importantly, his harmony vocals.
He needs to go back and help his mate out!!
Why do people keep saying he’s underrated ? He’s well known for his awesome vocals
Totally Agree
Always have been and ALWAYS WILL BE Sambora fan. ❤
Just when you think the original couldn’t get any better…,.
Love how Richie brings in the violinist and guitar for their solo - class
A lead who can actually sing. And always love Richie.
It’s 1989 in my brain right now in 2023 and that melted my face. Thanks
It is great to see Richie up there.
I bet Jon really misses being with him on stage . . .
Definitely a privilege for Zack to get to play with a legend.
There's no way singing out WANTED and the audience singing it back cant feel amazing. Like man great lyric writing
Richie is one of the worlds most underrated guitar greats. The real heart and soul of Bon Jovi
I’ve always said Bon Jovi was nothing without Richie
hes not underrated at all, everyone knows he's great
And great vocals/backing vocals too
His awesome !! .. but his not a singer
Well, Jon is the leader and the band member who was signed to the record contract. The rest of the band - including Sambora - were hired by Jon. He could’ve made it a solo act, but chose to form a group using just his last name. That said, I too prefer Sambora over Bon Jovi in some ways, but I believe Jon is the more talented songwriter.
i could watch this 2,000 times and it still wouldn’t be enough
Richie is in his 60's and still rockin it!
I'm not saying he can't. However, this is an old performance.
So glad he's at least in talks to rejoin Bon Jovi. Richie Sambora is a an absolute living legend
Uhmm, that won't happen. He is dissing jon 😂
Zac Brown does covers better than any other band currently in the music industry. Change my mind
Still love this song. Richie Sambora is still amazing!!! I'm so blessed I was born in 72, I got to grow up listening to the best music ever!!! Including 80's hair bands we ROCKED!!!
I was born the same year and I agree we had some of the best damn music ever!!
Imagine the music todays teens missed out on ? Wow
@@spspcards1If the kids had good HS in ‘80’s parents like my kids- they got exposed to it! 😂 And our 23 & 25 yr old both listen to stadium rock & hair metal.
Sambora is one badass shredder!! Can sing his ass off too. Boys got da soul in him
I've been to a shit load of concerts...God knows I can't count lol - - but I'll say this seeing Zac Brown is hands down one of the best shows ever!!! What a F----ing show!!!

❤❤❤❤😅😅❤😅
Hey Zac can sing too.
He's got a beautiful voice and a great range.
All Genre's of music.
But Richies still got it too.
It just goes to show how many young people still know bon Jovi. Amazing band
Sambora always plays & sings with feeling, outstanding!
So nice to see Ritchie still has it.
I truly know, why Richie is my favorite Idol. 🤷🏻♂️
I've been a Richie Sambora fan ever since the release of his solo album "Stranger In This Town" back in 1991 which has always been one of my all time favorite albums..

Yes!!! Stranger is a classic - one of my FAVE albums, period! Richie is so underrated!
Супер альбом
Honestly ZBB the most all around talented band ever. Diversity and variety is unlimited. Thank you for bringing joy to my life ❤ music is my religion ✝️
Damn that was good, Sambora rocks, and probably the best band in country
40 years later Richie still sounds great on the guitar and the mic

Richie MADE Bon Jovi - shame it made him leaving to realise it
Sounds better than Jon these days
And Bon Jovi wants him because they need a singer. Looks like he will be their new, touring guitarist and vocalist lol
He'll be back with JBJ baby
I like jovi tunes better when Richie sings the ones he wrote. That way you can hear how they were meant to be. Raw, Bluesy, in your face rock tunes. Richie without doubt one of our generations best musicians.
One of the Absolute best versions of this song.
Ritchie for all his greatness as a player
graciously sharing leads with Members of the band.
Zach Brown is another performer who can sing just about anything he learns the lyrics of and he is a very good guitar player 😊😅😮😂❤😂😊❤😊❤
Well that was Friggen AWESOME!!!
✌️🤠
Memories you nailed this song bon Jovi is smiling
Sambora is the man!!!! The voice, the guitar! He's got it all!!!! Been a fan since the 80's. Sambora rocks!!
These guys prove that some classic songs are timeless 😊😅😮😂❤😂😊❤😊
Without Richie, where would John have truly been!? SAMBORA!! ✌️
Amen!
Apparently not!
100%
I absolutely love the way the ZBB invites other artists to join them on stage during their concerts!
Just a big party, the way life was meant to be ❤
Pretty sure this was a huge honor for Zac. Bon Jovi are legends who inspired everybody.
The real reason is there isn't much that the ZBB can't cover and cover well. They are truly an ultimate cover band that hit it with mainstream success of their own.
Amazing!!! Love you Richie❤
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! Richie is the BEST!🥰🤩Zac Brown Band rocked it with Richie! It's great to see RS back out playing. He still GOT IT!
Blessed Gypsy Richie's been playing and singing, started with Orianthi after he left Bon Jovi, and eventually they split but he was still performing.
Richie Sambora is so great, can sing and play! True legend
One of the best songs ever written in my book, so atmospheric and cinematic. Kudos!
Absolutely amazing
Damn Ritchie is badass!!! He sure did rock them all
Richie killed this one. Never heard of Zac Brown but great work here!
You are missing out if you don’t know Zac Brown Band. Incredible musicians. Their body of work is incredible. Check ‘em out! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
How is that even possible? You need to go down the rabbit hole with ZBB. They're incredible!
The lead guitarist, Clay Cook was John Mayers roommate in college and they were in a band together back then!
Zac Brown Band is horrendous. I throw up in my mouth every time I hear them. Instant skip when they come on the radio.
I’m blown away you never heard of Zac Brown Band. Amazing group. And they are known for singing cover songs at their concerts! This song is amazing. Check them out singing Metallica’s Enter Sandman!
This is freaking awesome ! Thanks Zac and Richie for rockin' this tune !!! Sambora is the man ❤
Sounds awesome. Look even better. Both of them! ❤
Richie is a national treasure
*International
Richie is the BEST ! No wonder his grands were Polish😊 as I am😊 you cant cheat on your gens😊
The crowd stepping all over this tune. Still the top Bon Jovi tune. The only one that holds up.
Pretty sweet! Love the crowd, joining in! Sweet, guitars!
Wow, mr. Blues Sambora fully technical bluesy the way his singing 🤟🏿
YYYEESS RICHIE!!! YOU SING BETHER THEN JON ON THIS MOMENT!! AND YOU STILL ONE OF THE BEST GITAR PLAYER ON EARTH!!!!❤😊 SEE YOU AGAIN!!!
Dude on the violin crushed it, interesting playing and sound👌

Wow. This is one of my favorite songs and this is phenomenal. I also love the live versions with Orianthi or Bon Jovi.
Damn straight, shit fire! Whole lot of talent on that stage!!
2 Words. BAD ASS !!
Richie just gets better with age. As a guitarist, as a vocalist, and as one of the hottest men on the planet, he never disappoints. I'll go to my grave loving him.
Richie responds perfectly to each of his lines, he is just made for that. I hope for his soon return to the group. It would be good for Jon, for himself and for all of us.
Bad ass!!!!!!!
Wow, just stunning.,. Wow!
Richie was always my favorite!!!
Bloddy brilliant! Timeless track
damn Richie Ray Vaughn that was fire 🔥
🥰 awww great rendition of Wanted Dead or Alive Good Job
Dang, Richie is so awesome on the guitar!!! You don't see that anymore especially this day and age!
This gave me goosebumps. Amazing.
Fabulous job ZBB & Richie!
My hubby, does this one, trick. On the guitar, Soo good! ❤
Life finds away to keep what it wants “timeless”
KiKK Ass RoKKnFnRoLL Richie, you make New Jersey Proud
oh my god, love this. how my hubby would have lapped this up as a lover of guitar, rock, and touch of country? just all round good stuff. love Richie, such strength and presence, he does 'good' like his momma said!!!
Zac Brown is the contemporary American troubadour. Whether with Richie or Jimmy Buffett or anyone between, he's just an amazing musician and vocalist.
😳😳😳 How awesome!!!♥️♥️♥️
Man that fucking guy can play.... one of the best guitarists to come out of the 80's scene for sure
John Bon Jovi had the name Richie had the soul
Richie was Bon Jovi!!! Jon is a shadow of Richie!!!
Richie sambora has a kick ass voice along with kick ass guitar skills
Three half steps down from the original recording... props to Richie for being able to overcome that muscle memory after all those years playing it in a different key!
I love to watch RS play one of the best ...bon Jovi was the soundtrack to my teenage years Richie Sambora is still as sexy as he ever was ..damn.
Richie, I loooooove you❤
listen to this everyday!
This song should be Trumps walk up music to the stage
So damn good. Glad the crowd seems to recognize it. Richie is a goat
Great, great and great, this is so great...
Love the vocals on this version. Sambora was a favorite during his time with Bon Jovi. Thanks for sharing.
Richie never disappoints! So good! I can't wait for new music from Jon and Richie! They are a magical combo. Look how well their songs stand the test of time.❤
The problem though as we all know is that Jonny boy had lost his voice, he sings NOTHING like Richie…..
2:18: You pour your heart and soul into learning guitar, endure countless blisters on your fingertips, survive years of your neighbors' noise complaints, spend decades honing your skills to perfection... only to become Richie Sambora's living, breathing guitar stand for his 'Wanted Dead or Alive' solo.
This is why JBJ needs to beg Richie to comeback. Jon’s voice is shot and he needs Richie’s voice
Great performance! Great band! They broke the mold after that Sambora cat!!
As long as you Wanted!🦋🤙🏽
One of my favourite Country bands together with my favourite rock guitarist. What an awesome performance! Could it get any better? Hardly… Thanks a lot for posting this video! 🙏
Love Richie!
Richie still slaying !
Richie looks and sounds good.
This is from 2014, not recent. I'd love to see and hear a more recent performance from him.
I trust in any musician this incredible talent, Richie Sambora, brings into his circle. You’ve got to trust the way every ounce of his being is feeling rhythm in song.
The best always 🙌♥️
Still one of the best performances from any CMA fest
This band is phenominal wITHOUT all the GLITZ!!!!!!!!!
