There is no Bon Jovi Without Richie!!
We all wish there was no bon Jovi period
Well there is
@smoggy1964 I know it sucks there is a bon jovi
Then why wasnât the band called Sam Bora?!? The band carried on without him, perhaps not as well as with Sambora but he obviously was in no state to stay in the band regardless of cause!
Are you kidding? Phil X will play circles around Richie! The dude wanted to stay home with his daughter, thereâs no shame in that but fact is he left and they replaced him with someone better that wants to be in the position.
All I have to say is bon Jovi isnt the same without Ritchie
Jon needs to keep his mouth shut Jon's closet isn't empty
Listen, I'm Italian, & I completely understand that Richie had to put his family first which is totally understandable. I have much Love & respect for him in doing that!! And people need to stop bringing it up now!! Some people have to always try to stir the pot. Well knock it off!! Much love to you Richie!! You're a GREAT Dad!â€đ
Well he certainly didn't put his family first when he cheated on Heather with Denise, it all went downhill from there........
It wasnât his family it was him ! He had to clean up in rehab
@@MsRocker961 He started having problems with drinking soon AFTER his divorce from Heather happened.
@@rashmita916 Ya she sure wasnât a good influence on him with her drug problems
@@MsRocker961 He started CHEATING on her with Denise Richards. Heather started having her drug problems AFTER THEIR DIVORCE. She lost her edge after the divorce, it's quite documented and noticeable.
I always felt like a kid whos parents got divorced when they broke up. Sambora and Jon are legendary together. But Richie had to be with his family that needed him. Not with a band that didnt. At least we have a huge, beautiful music catalog from 1984-2013
Itâs really crazy how people these days are so obsessed with other peopleâs lives.
How hard is it to realize that a guy wants to do something else when others donât.
Itâs all good Ritchie, your family needed you!
Get over it fanatics âïžđȘđŒâïž
I adore Richie. There is no BJ without him. Richie was the only reason I ever listened to BJ. His vocals and guitar mastery were tops. I wish people would just let Richie live his life and stop putting the blame on him. His solo music is awesome!
Jovi carried on what a trooper,show must go on. mad respect for jovi!!!
Remember , Saint Jon Bon Jovi didn't drink too much, never used drugs, and never like other woman than Dorothea.....and of course, he didn't push Richie out of the band recording songs with the producer Shanks on the guitar without Richie
Incredible guitarist plus good singer too.
Old news. Their time has passed. They are only memories now.
I could see the band not really providing Sambora with support because of him not showing up to shows and whatnot due to his personal issues, but i donât know hard to hold this against anyone, love classic bon jovi!
Love Richie â€ïž
HE did the right thing for his family
Come on guys, life's too short. Please get it together and get back reunite. It's all stuff that happened in the past. Let's live in the here and now and for the future.
He was a drunk with a troubled wife WHO ALWAYS WAS THERE FOR HIS DAUGHTER. Respect for him, took care of his own problems after. â€â€â€â€
GOD BLESS you Richie....
Richie looks like an old lady
I think, and this is just my opinion, but Jon knows the reasons for the split BUT he said he didn't know what was wrong. They were still waiting for a call from Richie years after the fact. Jon knows it all and Richie would not say UNTIL Jon's documentary came out and all these reasons came out. Makes you wonder.
Many people have said over the years that Jon Bon Jovi comes off as being an arrogant dick or a douchebag. I don't honestly believe Jon is telling the full truth, or wanting the public to know all of the details. Like you said, Jon knows it all and what really happened, so it does make you wonder what was said and done either. Both Richie and Jon said and did things that were wrong and both of them handled this situation poorly at times. Neither one is innocent. However, I do think Richie is telling the truth with these latest comments.
@@smithn.wesson495 you are right about the handling of this break up, poorly handled. I have the input of someone I have known since childhood, and believe him as far as knowing Jon and Richie goes. And, like you, I believe Richie, also. It will be a day to remember if Richie is accepted back. We will see. đ
@@cate9095 I agree with you 100 percent. Everyone is getting older and these great bands cannot tour forever. Hopefully Jon and Richie can put the past - and their egos- to the side for one night, or hopefully an entire tour, and play again for the fans.
@@smithn.wesson495 yep, but Jon doesn't care for the fans, that's point. He cares for his organization and money.
Yes, Jon is a douche but he needed to be a member of the band OR the manager and not BOTH. That is when he changed. Too much for one person.
Whatever shit happens but get over it already !!! John wants him back. They are getting older . Cant hold a grudge forever
Bloody awesome! Album of the year so far!đ€đȘ
Richie is being truthful. Shane on jon
Boy heâs looking ruff
Bon Jovi 's sister Ann Jovi said there was something fishy about the whole thing !
With Richie Sambora finally speaking out on his side of the story about leaving Bon Jovi, do you find his reasons for leaving change your opinion of the band or any of its members?
Yep, it changed it a lot!
Yes, all I remember hearing at the time of Richie's departure was that he was a drunk and using. I lost respect for Jon bon jovi because of how things played in the doc. I was mad watching the last 2 parts. I feel shafted for buying the what about now album. I remember playing it when it came out, and thinking this doesn't sound like bon Jovi. And to have richie say that exact thing and that shanks filled in explained so much. They also didn't mention richies dad had passed before that too. I think what about now should have been a Jon bon jovi solo album. Plus it seemed like Jon wanted employees where richie was really part of the creative soul of bon jovi. Jon bon jovi wanted yes men around him and it seemed like richie wasn't one.
â@@maggied9918 that's itđŻâïž
I'll start by saying I loved that lineup. That band was tight in the pocket and just powerhouse performers. But there was this tension between being a true collaboration and Jon being in the spotlight. I don't hold that against him he's the lead singer and that spotlight should absolutely follow him everywhere. But around the time of that Young Guns 2 opportunity you could see a bigger separation. I think Richie thought maybe he earned or deserved some of those opportunities with Jon. They had written and earned the reputation together but it wasn't working out the way he thought maybe. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. They were incredible. They had an incredible run together and I would rather look back fondly than see them force themselves to get back together for one of these Journey type tours where the band has no chemistry anymore.
@@aleksandradjurdjevic9276 exactly. Richie was. The number one
Bon Jovi sem sambora nĂŁo e bon Jovi đą
Jon needs richie, but richie doesnt need jon. Im glad he left actually.
Ultimately none of us will ever know the facts as they were . Only those people know. Samboras dad had passed away and Richie went to drinking to emotionally deal . Richie himself has spoke about his alcohol abuse through out the years. As for the band not doing more for Richie, how much and how many times does someone have to help someone with their vices? I feel they both made the right choices
I am sure, and nobody can convince me in opposite, that Sambora is the honest one in that story. Jon's explanation sucks all this years and sounds false.
Absolutely . Jonâs ego was always a massive downfall . Even the structure of the band seemed wrong to me . Jonâs vision , everyone else is an accessory
Rich want to be with his daughter, and that is the best thing to do ! No complaining about the other band members also not to Jon
@@Diana_Hugers sure, it is better to be blind...but sorry, I will not lower my voice because of liberal boss or capo di organizzazione
Totally agree
Jons A POS LIBERAL LEFTIST!
Let's face it ! Sambora is the Band
Ritchie is a serious addict.
Don't get me wrong I like bon Jovi they are always been good band john is the boss
Richie was an uncontrollable alcoholic, and he became so much of a problem that he had to be replaced. There, someone had to say it.
And What Were The Reasons, Death of His Father, Him Needing To Play Non Stop For 3Yrs Without A Break on Back To Back Tours & Then A Divorce That He Was Un-Aware Of & His Daughter Needing Him...Family Should Always Come 1st & He Close Family. The Right Choice.
My ooio. He got upset John brought the other people in doing his guitar parts h may have not felt important anymore
Well they had to bring somebody in to play guitar parts when your guitar player Just decides not to show up ! Lol đ
I COMMEND Richie for leaving, he absolutely did the right thing,screw Jon Bonjovi
I had no idea he left Bon Jovi in 2013. đ
It's obviously a bummer that he wasn't feeling compassion, but that ball's gotta roll. & roll it did.
I love the Jennifer Aniston hairdos Bon Jenifer
Sambora quit to take custody of his daughter. The Mum and Charlie Sheen were accused of abusing/mistreating Samboraâs daughter.
Hey you just donât show up for doing the recording of the album you donât show up for the shows . What was the band going to do ??? The tour was booked with like 80 more shows to go . You donât show up and your to go on in 3 hours and nobody even knows where you are !!! I tip my hat to the guitar player that went on in his place . Thatâs for sure
Right they had a JOB to do... I like them both! Imagine having to find a replacement so quick.. Nobody saying don't got to your family but dude it could have been handled way better.
I never was a John Bon Jovi fan in fact I canât stand Jon but I always liked Richie! Jon loved himself to much for me!
Richie has a better voice on certain types of music than Jon. He kills it on his solo album especially the song Stranger In This Town, the blues and soul work better for Richie. Generally speaking if 1 person in a band has issues more often than no they all do. Sometimes it takes different methods for them to stop. But, who to say thqt was the issue here. There is no Bon Jovi without Richie Sambora. Richie killed it live a true professional for sure
How come that Jovi sucks 'til Richie said that sucks ;)
Great Karen hair-doâs
People should be very grateful for what Bon Jovi accomplished in the end they are human beings that lives an extraordinary lifestyle and with that I really think Ritchie has that right to leave the band. But I really don't know how a musician's mind gets once they're giving everything to the creativity in the organization. Maybe someday I'll find out what it's like I really want to be a part of a good band. I think in some ways it's something that could save my life and help me make new friends and lovers. That's huge and worth it to me â€â€â€. I've nothing but respect for all of these guys â€â€â€
Bon Jovi sucks
But u gotta cone to work John should have brought the guys in just my option
đ„Žđ„±
Heather was the one with the substance abuse issues at that time,DUDE
one about money..one about family...bon jovi fans lost out...think we would stand by family...
Ok
I think JBJ became a slave to the record companyâs and the write/record/tour, schedule and as much as that life has its perks thereâs more to life then that and Richie definitely had more to worry about then just Bon Jovi
None of this stuff changes anything..if it was substance abuse, his daughter, wife, etc..this stuff happens in bands all the time. I've seen stories where Jon said they were waiting for call Ling after Richie left..he wasn't showing up, he walked out mid tour no explanation...now 10 years later he says why?..why not say these things long ago? When all is said and done, ppl don't care what the reason was, they just want Richie to come back to the band.
Yep, why wait until now? Also, why keep going to rehab for family issues? It's gone too far now, which is a shame, as to see them play together again would be fantastic.
Nobody with brains believes jons constant spin.
Sambora forever.
If you don't wabt John to talk stop freaking asking
He was high as hell.
You always say, there is no Bon Jovi without Richie...well there is!!!! And it is still Bon Jovi....come on..you people are fueling the fire. Stop it!
He didint want it any more
Band has reconstituted and moved on with Phil X 11YEARS AGO. Richie is no longer part of the organization period.
Bottom like dude left
Its a business they had tour obligations. If he wasnt pulling his weight or phoning it in then out he goes. Its really just business. With a machine as big as Bon Jovi at that point theres too many moving parts to let a faulty cog stop production. Pragmatic decisions aren't always popular. I must stress that I am a big Sambora fan. Stranger in This Town is a better lp than anything Bon Jovi ever put out.
He didnt want to pay him. so he walked.
I think Richie's days are over, and Bonjovi moved on. When your in a band, you have a responsibility to the group! Stuff was going on for awhile with Heather and Richie, so maybe asking for a leave of absence instead of no shows when dates were already planned and sold out!! Phil X is awesome!
PHIL X...PEOPLE SAY NO TO DRUGZ...PEOPLE/ RICHIE...PHIL X IS HERE TO STAY N THE NEW VOICE OF BON JOVI... SAY NO TO DRUGZ...PEOPLE
just seen a recent vid where sambora is on stage and hes so smashed he cant speak or play his guitar.
Richie still has his talent..Can't say the same about Jon..His voice is awful.
Whats the confession? He's transitioning into someone's aunty Gertrude?
He's halfway there đ
Ritchie chows to leave I thi k the band should worked harder with some of the issues
Drugs are for mugs
Dang look at that wife dont know if there still together.
I saw a video recently when he was at Normâs Rare Guitars. He was high as a kite. He could barely hold a guitar. It was sad. Not saying either of them were not telling the truth but that video was very clear that he was either high or drunk. He was there with Orianthi (sorry if I misspelled her name). She looked embarrassed.
Your opinion dude or dude et
We know all this....getting tired of this. Its the same sort of shit that happens to Alec...when you dont show up at time for studio and stuff, and your drunk on stage ( watch unplugged from 2007 i think?), sambora is almost sleeping. Fucking drunk. He didn't show up, and he become a person that couldn't be trusted. Sorry people, but PhilX saved the tour and the band.
All I know is Richie sounds more like Bon Jovi than Bon Jovi these days. When it comes down to who I'm gonna listen to, Bon Jovi's music hasn't been right since Richie left. Jon Bon Jovi has always been so crazy about protecting his image he probably had them all sign NDAs and no one will ever know what happened. I never bought that guys act. I get arrogant jerk vibes off him. That's not to say I didn't live the old Bon Jovi's music, but not this current one. It's not the same band. Richie's solo stuff is the only thing that sounds like rock and roll.
I am also sure about NDAs. He is control freak and reminds me a lot of some politicians. So he can choose& control what "dirty" things about him will let out and say: here I am, I am not a saint, and put down some trivial bullshit. And 90% percent middle-aged women will who adored their idol from 30yrs ago will eat that crap.
Bon Jovi were great with his genius.
But Jon Bon Poopsie wanted to have a Johnny Electric Poop Act instead of a band.
He sucks so hard and without Sambora he would be no one
Richie got up and left the band. He never told them he was leaving. He just left. He had to take care of his daughter!!! Now stop fighting and whining..
Who are we kidding here... drug addiction, people who have no discipline, etc. If your wife has mental problems, you put her in the hospital. Toxic codependency is no way to live your life Richie. When it's time to work you work... got no control at the house? --- you're not a manđź !
He's a 60 year old lesbian?
Bon Jovi canât sing so what does this matter?!?
Yeah man, ain't that the troof?!
And I'm sorry, he obviously has been very successful & good for him. But I never cared for his voice.
I hate Bon Jovi music. If I was Samora, Iâd restart anonymously, maybe even with make up and stuff, so I wouldnât get recognized. Iâd be totally embarrassed to be associated with playing Bon Jovi music! Not that heâs a bad musician, just that his music, itâs as horrible as Def Leppard.
Ricky was probably sick of Bon Jovi's woke, kiss the left's butt attitude !!
Richie is a typical addict- blames everyone ( his wife, his daughter) but himself- good luck Richie.
Sambora is a good guitar player in a band that is a total bubblegum candyass rock outfit. Bon Jovi sucks.
Boring narrative..,
Not correct.....Jon Bon Jovi and David Bryan are the Only founding memebers of the band Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora has always been a hired hand. In fact he is the 2nd lead guitarist of the band. The original lead guitarist was Dave Sabo. Dude your video is horrible because you just make crap up. You're not going to make it.
blah blah blah....... blabbity blabbity..... blah blah blah
So in Richie's eyes the whole band is lying? They each said he had substance abuse, not just Jon. There's nothing shameful in admitting that but don't lie about it. They were also in the middle of a tour. Hard for the band to talk about issues with Richie when he refused to talk to them for so long. If he really left for his daughter then why couldn't he say that to the band. No, he left for himself and his solo career.
Who cares retire already yâall washed up anyway
Ritche seems decent. Bon appears like more of a plaything.
Why do all of the old rockers look like grandmothers?
And you think i'm supposed to be sorry for a millionaire ?
