Richie Sambora is Ready to Rock!

- As the premier season of the show comes to a close, Richie Sambora sends it off with a fun, free-wheeling episode that looks at his high-drama fingerwork on “Only Lonely” from Bon Jovi’s second record, 1985’s 7800° Fahrenheit. (The song’s music video is everything you’d ever want from mid-’80s hard rock.)
Richie joins Shifty subterranean-style, from his mother’s basement in New Jersey, where he’s equipped with a reverse-headstock Charvel, complete with a Floyd Rose system. It’s a busy time for Sambora: His first new single in 11 years, “I Pray,” dropped in late April, alongside a brand new, four-part Bon Jovi documentary.
For “Only Lonely,” Sambora recalls that he used just a 50-watt Marshall and a yellow Boss overdrive pedal to push it to the limit. Producer Lance Quinn captured the performance at the Warehouse in Philly in spring 1985, and Sambora hasn’t slowed at all since that day. Shifty takes a run at a few of Sambora’s blistering lead screeds before Richie takes the reins and brings it home. They don’t leave it at “Only Lonely”; as an added bonus, they run through Sambora’s famous licks from “Bad Medicine,” too.
Between solo runs, Richie talks about his current rig (no modelers for him, just old-school tube-amp goodness) and addresses the rumors: Will he rejoin Bon Jovi after 11 years gone?
See you on the next season of Shred With Shifty!

Stranger in this town was so good!!! Legend
That’s a great song, album. The living legend 🎶🎸🎼🎵🎤🎸🔥❤️
I have that cd and I play at least one song from that album every night
It's mental hearing Jon saying, "Bonjovi wasn't a reliant guitar band, like ACDC or Van Halen"
Richie made Bonjovi super cool!
Without Richie, bon jovi was nothing… lets face it!!
Its true 🫠
Completely... his voice and song writing made them a proper group... my fav album is These Days... seems like Jon let him get on and play in that 1
@@maus_drummertrue
How can anyone NOT love this guy as well as his guitar playing?!?
That someone would be Jon Bon Jovi
Me, he’s a jackass, sorry if we disagree but not everyone will
he kinda sucks
@@easilyoffended7772 are you saying Richie sucks or Jon sucks? I hope it’s Jon you are talking about. Yes Richie has had his problems, who hasn’t, but he is a fantastic person as well as guitarist and musician. He has a great voice too. Much better than Jon
Kudos to Shifty for taking the time to redo it, with full respect to the guest, respecting his privacy and staying quiet patiently till he could finally do it - thank you!
Yes, waaaaaay better interview! I saw Jovi open for that same RATT Invasion tour, in Chicago!
Redo?
the first one from September 2023 was taken off YT after a couple of days
@@marekgitarzysta5193 Oh wow, was Richie drunk as fuck?
Yeah, he’s in way better shape than he was in the first interview and that’s cool! Happy to see it!
sambora is such a underated player ..........its criminal...........i bought his first solo project on cassette at a goodwill in nashville for like 3 bucks.......that record changed my guitar playing.........i improved so much learning those licks.......play / rewind , old schoolers will get it ........even though clapton played it , mr bluesman solo was awesome.......richie if you see this , sir , thank you , i mean it.......
Stranger in This Town is an absolutely brilliant album.
A true rock legend.
And he doesn’t even have one gray hair. Amazing!
Richie, Taking care of your Mom is a beautiful thing. I bet she is so happy to have you in the basement. haha
that is so sweet of him ❤️
Thank you Chris for not giving up on Mr Sambo!! He is the reason I picked the guitar up....Total Legend! 👍🏼
Me too
Richie is why I play n sing today. I'm 46 and won't quit ever. Blessings from South Africa 🙏🏽🇿🇦
Richie is why I leaned the blues lol 😊
Great to see the old Richie back!!!
Richie is a genuine guy, he has no filter. ❤️
He's Soooo Jersey! I'm from Jersey love it ❤
My guitar idol for more than 30 years. Glad they redid the episode :-)
Richie looks and sounds SO good! Kudos to Shifty for having a redo. ❤
My dad is a bit older than Richie and he’s an only child as well. I have a sister and I’m still living at home. I want to move out and all but I sometimes worry. It’s good that Richie is able to come back in a flash for his mom.☺️
Sambora is an absolute shredder. A true legend. Great interview 👍
He looks so healthy, vibrant and happy
He absolutely does. Good to see.
He has wasted tombstone eyes and speech. Sad what hardcore drugs, booze and age does to a man. Tommy lee, vince and Ace all have those wasted junkie eyes. Brains are fried.
For sure! Total 180 from the last time he was on here.
Ready for Rock!
Still depressing. He’s trashed or wacked out
Sooooo goood to see him doing better! This is the guy we love!
Richie’s guitar playing is the Bon Jovi sound!!! He’s a master guitar player 👍🏽
The world needs Richie's music and soul
Richie Sambora is the one player that pushed me to pick up a guitar. I play because of his performance on the Wembley VHS.His work is part of my life and his records are among the best records ever released…I still listen to Undiscovered Soul at least once a month…and I was there when it came out!!!thank you for this wonderfull interview
Me too!
I mean the 'Always' solos in Wembley are everything!
I’ve always been a 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit Bon Jovi guy but seeing Richie play Bad Medicine on this was amazing!
Thank you for doing this . Richie is the reason I started playing guitar . I hope to meet him one day and thank him in person . He changed my life . I wanted a guitar and my parents would not buy me one so I went to cutting grass and washing cars so I could buy an axe . So he kept me out of trouble and taught me a work ethic . I've taken his music all over the world . I listened to his solo album Undiscovered Soul a lot on my Deployment to Iraq . Thanks again to you and Richie .
I met him after a gig in Dublin and he proved everybody wrong who says never meet your heroes. ALWAYS meet your heroes. Richie is a legend and was apprehensive to take a pic in the crowd and draw attention to himself but then he saw my aftermath of the lowdown tee shirt and pulled me aside and got his security guard to take a pic. A memory I’ll forever cherish.
This was so awesome! So cool to see Ritchie jamming in his mother’s basement! Omg I could listen to him play and talk all night! 🤟🏻
What a pair of sweethearts - both Chris and Richie. And I loved hearing that Richie's first instrument was the accordion! That's amazing! Chris--we can't WAIT for Season 2 of "Shred with Shifty," although I can't forget your whispered tease that you've got an episode with Dave and Pat on deck! What a gem of a show that will be!!!
Richie is the reason I picked up guitar 14 years ago!! Thank you so much for doing this interview 🙏🏼
Sambora is one of the greatest guitar player of all time. His style is unique. Give to Bon Jovi life and sound.
His a little bit underrated, but He's the best
I did a search on YT for Richie and found this interview from Shifty!!! Heaven!! Seeing the Foo’s this Saturday…can’t wait!! Ugh! Love this so much ❤❤❤
Ritchie rocking the Positive Grid Spark GO 😆
Haha not about the gear for players like this!
I wonder if that sound preset he is using is available?
Richie's guitar playing. Wow. In a class of his own.
This was actually a lot of fun! Kudos to Jon and Richie for making this happen. This was a real treat for us older rock guitarists.
I'm not a big bon jovi fan, but I'm a fan of Richie...great ambassador to the guitar...his charvel sounds great...great vibrato...and he's having a great time!! He's obviously passionate as hell about it
Richie seems to be in a much better place here. Great to see! He is one of my favorites from the 80’s. My band played a lot of their songs in the late 80’s when in high school. Still love the old Bon Jovi stuff. Much respect to Richie!
Richie Sambora in Bon Jovi is what Ace Frehley is in Kiss.
In importance yeah, but Sambora is such a better singer!
@@jeaneugenedxyeah in importance. im a huge ace fan, but richie just destroys ace in every way playing and singing.
RS never gets the credit he deserves as a player and writer. Total legend.
Oh c'mon, says who? He is #2 guy in Bon Jovi. The band is Jon's and everyone is aware of that. Richie made his millions for the songs and for the liver performances. What else should he have received that he has not? Not everyone can be the #1 person and that's ok
"Mom's basement" how many times have we heard that.😂
EXCELLENT...Thank you!
Totally under rated guitar player. He seems like a cool dude
Forever Jersey Boy! Awesome guitar player.
Saw the Foo Fighters on Tuesday and now this video on Friday. What a great week!!! Thanks Chris!
Nice to see Richie in his home element. He seems to be very healthy and in a good place.
On another note....If you actually get Warren Demartini on your show, you are truly a GOD!
Now I've seen it all, Richie jamming in his mom's basement! So cool! You know, the Internet makes the world so small. Richie seems to be really healthy and his old rockin' self! Love it! Would love to see him live, can't wait actually! 🤟👍🙏❤
Great interview!
Time to take Jon to the train station and let the king of swing take over lead vocals.
Wicked singer and player ,Sambora is fully loaded!!
🤣🤣
Great Show, Sambora is such a cool Cat..lots of Charisma
Absolutely loved this !!!! Richie seems to be doing great ❤️
Ritchie! you have inspired me beyond belief! Lifelong fan.... Thank you Chris! Cheers to you both!
Love stuff like this. Richie is a legend 👌
Richie is brilliant. Keep writing Richie, we love it. You make that shit talk.
Awesome, Ritchie is a hard rock legend.
Ritchie seems like such a cool down to earth guy!!!
Excellent chat and play. So great to see Richie.
I could listen to Richie tell stories about recording all day long. I'd LOVE to hear him talk about Stranger in this Town recording process, the mix and reverb on that album is SO well done. Is it weird to have a favorite reverb sound? Cuz Stranger is mine lol
Great talk, great show!!! Thanks!!! 👍
This is what the world needs!❤
This is awesome!! Thank you for this!!
Thank you for this. 👍🏽
GREAT SHOW!!! RICHIE IS SO TALENTED..HUMBLE AND FUNNY.
Sambora rules and love the guitar specs from the interview being the guitar man i am!
Richie is looking good, which is good indeed
Excellent show and love the interviews, will keep watching!
It‘s a pleasure to watch Richie playing guitar and being happy ❤️
Listen, I have loved Richie and the whole gang obsessively since I was 13 in ‘86. But if you completely demolish a moment with someone, don’t just delete it and pretend it never happened. Own it, and explain you’re working on yourself and made a mistake.
I love you Richie. Glad you seem to be getting there. I’ve got demons too.
Thanks for giving him a second chance, Chris. It’s just a bit of a weird vibe to just pretend the first one never happened.
It’s still in the show credits, so they aren’t really trying lol
Thanks for doing this Chris and thanks to how you treated Richie with such class and grace. So glad this got done!
The Best of Rechy Sambora saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
So much mutual respect between these men, what a great conversation. See you next season!! Can’t wait
Great, thanks for version 2! Love Jovi, Love Richie. His new songs are great. Legendary is catchy but shallow. They need their soul back 🙏🏻
The "King Of Swing" Ladies and Gentlemen.Love that guy.
Man how cool of an interview.
Richie is a true lead guitar player.
Shifty just proves that FF are the ultimate coolest band in rock
2 of my guitar all time guitar heroes! This will be a legendary video for me. My man with my favorite solo ever, Wanted Dead or alive, and my favorite lead guitar player in my favorite band of all time. Thank you Chris! Thank you Richie! ❤ Let's go!!
Great interview.. One of my favorite guitarists and artists
Awesome interview - Richie playing on his sounds like those records - badass dude right there!
Great interview. Richie is a soulful & melodic player who fit perfectly into the band. Great singing voice too.
You will make everyone more than happy if you are back with Bon Jovi again. Can't wait, Mr. Richie!!
Thanks shifty,best show yet & great to see Riche,like a lot of comments he is the reason I started playing guitar & now have a music career,I have met richie before & he is such a amazing person,went to shake his hand & he gave me a hug - he is so fricken cool & I love your super strat shifty 👍🎸🤘✌️
Richie seems great! Glad you had him on again. Love this video series Chris!
Thanks for the bonus show, Chris. Huge fan and love this show.
Rich is you're lookin' and sounding awesome keep a rockin' brother
Richie is the reason i fell in love with guitar and wanted to learn to play...he is so talented and the most humble guy. I have had the pleasure to meet him a few times and he is a sweetheart😘
Richie, keep up the good work my friend.
That medicine part was gold
Love's Richie's deep, soulful, hard rockin gtr and vocals!
Richie will always be my fave . Yes he has his issues but dont we all. His are just out there for everyone to see. Did he go about leaving the band right .. nope but that doesnt take away from 30 plus years of great music and memories with Bon Jovi. Love his solo works and hope there is more to follow. Looking better Richie...dont let the demons get you down.
Richie rules❤
OMG they've redone the Richie episode and this time he's sober🎉
My Drean is play of Rechy Sambora
I heard it before they took it offline! 😲 🍺 he was smashed!
I know it's fun to make $#!tty comments online and be a keyboard comedian, but as someone who idolized him growing up, that was rough to watch. Why don't people just send good energy and hope he's healthy verses tearing people down.....🤔
For real? Where's the original, I want to see it?
@@iamjarrettdean9358 Good vibes brother. I wholeheartedly agree.
Ahhhh Much better this go round! Wasn't the biggest Bon Jovi fan growing up thanks to my parents trying to push all of their music on me. But 25-30 years later i can dig it!
thanks Shifty!
This is absolutely a great interview! We love you Richie! What a great guy and musician!! All the best! Hope we get to see you back up on the stage with Bon Jovi
Richie has always had that dawg in him. Thanks for the awesome vid
I knew Richie when he was in Message and also Rich sambora and friends he was always one of the best. He performed tunes from Frampton comes alive. Not too long after the album came out . Sometimes the covers he did better than the originals 🙂
awesome stuff Shifty !!!! I am a big Sambora fan that was fantastic THANKS !!
i have a couple of strats and a beautiful marshall dsl 2000 all because of richie!. great player - great voice and great songwriter - total hero
Family first and that is just extremely kind of him to take care of his mom! Cheers to Richie!
Richie a cool dude, his vibe a real joy.
