- Caught this video of Richie appearing with The Crashers but not sure of his state if you know what I mean.
You be the judge and let's here it in the comments.
I for one LOVE LOVE Richie but wow if he's still on the sauce and yet coming off arrogant in his recent interview about returning to Bon Jovi - I don't know if Jon will still tolerate his issues.
The Interview • Richie Sambora on Bon ...
Richie said "If Jon gets his voice together" or some shit like that then comes out live like this? I wasn't the only one commenting like this by the way. Hopefully he gets his stuff together. That said, Phil X is fucking AWESOME!!!
Hopefully he's just getting old and this is how he is when he performs.
Thoughts?

Thank you for the video 👍 wether he is drinking or not, hes permanently buzzed or damaged,, I know the signs, I was an alcoholic, took 2 years after stopping for my mind to start to heal. Mr sambora's behavior is always like he's on his third drink. Jon recently said he's free to come play a few songs, he did not say he's free to come tour again,, and I don't blame him one bit. Richie looks good for an 85 year old man he looks atrocious for 60, his eyes are always bloodshot. He usually can't stop licking his lips. He takes every single opportunity in every interview to let everyone know he should have had his own career and his own band and he did Jon a favor. Now,,,,,
Has everyone listened to "Living Proof" 🎶 I know you've heard legendary,, Jon has decided to rock the world again like the 80s!,, and there is no reason at all to allow Richie to come steal the other bandmates Thunder & tempt all the drama that could come of him being an alpha male. What the hell is he doing wearing those 90's teenage kid bell pants!? He looks ridiculous. I haven't seen Bon Jovi since the 80s and I can't wait to go see him once he tours again with his current lineup 🎶🤘🎶 I love the current guitar solos that are reminiscent of Def Leppard's Pyromania album instead of Mr Sambora's Speed licks. John's current band is just fine the way it is
nailed it!!! Couldn't agree more. It's sad but true like Metallica said. I for one LOVE Phil X and went down a rabbit hole on his playing and his own band. Would LOVE to see Richie get healthy and make an appearance but believe that train left the station in 2013 and confirmed with his recent interview on that show (can't remember her name). Thanks@teecee66
@@ChristopherRausch Rock on bud! 🤘 I heard Ritchie say at this performance they blew the roof off, he did not say he wore his elvis boots & Oliver tree pants!!? 🤣 lord have mercy! 🎶 I know Jon's like,,,,, nah,,, no sir,,,, we're also going to have to put in his contract how to dress too!? 🤘 lol
@@TeeCee66That was some of the biggest nonsense I've read. Look at what he does in this video, would anyone with a problem play guitar like this? If he's drunk in this video, then I say: Richie plays better than Phil X even though he's drunk! 😂
There is no Bon Jovi without Richie!
@@kdoo6801 to each their own bud ✌ you go see ritchie elvis tree,, I'll go see Jov'eee 🤣 I beat my addiction except I have a new one,, I've learned how to play the guitar, I just got an explorer, and every single day I get jacked up playing this song about 15 times 🎶 life is good in jovi's world, Rock on buddy 🤘

People have memories of their heroes in their prime and don’t want to accept their aging as well. He’s a legend and still up there doing it, remembers the words, and has a good time. It’s rock n roll it’s not perfect.
Couldn't agree more
He definitely seems to be enjoying himself.....
I don't think he's actually drunk
He's just gotten a bit older and this is what he sounds like now
Richie Is Not Drunk...What He Is Doing Is Keeping The Sound Forever Changing & Plays Different Ways Due Not Having One Band Behind Him So He Highlights Different Parts With Both Music Tone & Cords & Then Brings The Audience In TO GET THEM INVOLVED in Different Parts. IF He Were Drunk He WOULD Have Forgotten Words But Didn't..The Only Thing That Didn't Look Polished & That Was The Changing Of The Guitars & Going Into The Riffs Due To Exchange Timing But Other Than That He Knew His Words, On Key, & Included The Fans To Sing With Him. To Me He Did A Great Job At The Kentucky Derby Event...Still One Of The Greats...
@@lane82356 totally agree
@@lane82356Richie 100% has drink taken here.
Richie is known to be an alcoholic. Why is this a surprise to anyone?
Drunnnnnnnk PEOPLE I hope that was a free show he's all washed up don't worry Phil X will keep Bon Jovi rocking
Sounds good to me. Phone recordings are never really a good representation of what live music actually sounds like!
Thanks for your input! All subjective :)
That was a great clip! He sounds great! Plays great! Doesn't appear impaired to me....He is getting older, tho....he's still got it! Thx for the video 🎸🎸
Wow richie legend guitarist
Check this out. Badass. czcams.com/video/5Cfj6d90JLw/video.htmlsi=qQIHVv2oXa9C_hhI
I think this performance didn't go as planned because Richie's disruptive improvisation caught the band off guard, and they were unable to adapt quickly enough.
Just Richie things.
Well said!! Thank you!
Sounds really good to me, Richie's feel and delivery is all there.
Right on!! We are all unique. Rock it. Loving the new Living Proof single for sure. You?
It's Richie Sambora. Our favorite uncle! Deal with it.
Uncle Fester??

@@ChristopherRausch Oh I never said I don’t like PhilX. In fact he gets way too much hate. He’s a very good guitarist
I think Richie and Alec were both the rock n roll type guys in Bon Jovi. Once Alec was gone, it wasn't the same to me. Now that Richie is gone, it's just Jon Bon Jovi and the Jovis, so to speak. The original five was that band.
Thank God for CZcams. Love watching their older stuff. I was in there videos you give love a bad name and it’s my life. Moments I’ll never forget. My only regret in life is that I didn’t go too bad medicine video shoot. Instead I went to work. Dammit
This man gever gets old, he is a real rocker, Ritchie was the true soul of Bon Jovi -
We all are entitled to our opinions :)
Why do people have to comment thst hes drunk not cool when you dont know 🤔 speculation judgemental
We are entitled to share our personal observations. For me I’m just really disappointed at his recent interview bagging on Jon yet does this. Hypocrite. Perhaps maybe he’s just old and this is good as he is. So be it. I wish him absolutely the best. But walks like a duck..
Exactly, he sounded decent to me.
@@paulharrysadventures4050 you got to be kidding right ?? He was 90% off on the electric guitar...
Bagged on Jon and did what? Sing better than Jon? That's his bluesy style @@ChristopherRausch
@@markwilliamsmusic2987He was probably "off" on the electric guitar because it wasn't one of his that he normally plays and wasn't tuned. It was a guitar that was autographed by several celebrities in attendance at gala so it could be auctioned off for charity.
So sad that Richie can't get cleaned up. He is an amazing talent that deserves so much more. Its never too late and we can all remain hopeful. Lets all pray that he finds the strength and will to get better. Love you, Richie!
Aqui é terra de ninguém, as pessoas se acham no direito de falar suas baboseiras, acho isso horrível.......mas enfim as pessoas só falam o que tem dentro de si (coração).....quem tem coisas boas ok que não tem , quando falam percebe-se logo. Te amo Richie ❤
I pray for him and he gets on with the show. Life is short. Meanwhile the new BJ album seems to be a great one.
This was more of a band timing issue. It would seem that the drummer here did not connect with richie switching his guitar. The backing band here is sub par, and Richie is going to end up taking the heat for it cause he is the big star and cell phone exist as well as 20/20 hind sight judgy drama seekers.
This. Backing band rehearsed with him earlier that afternoon, once, and probably weren't expecting any improvisations.
Exactly! They hold one chord in that change of guitars and don't release that bite 😂
Always loved Richie and always will. He was a big part of Bon Jovis success. We've all had our problems just his are out there for the world to see. I hope he has his demons under control and keeps rockin❤
With just Richie's head, Bon Jovi would never have become the legends they are.
Golden voice!!!
Once upon a time perhaps.
What is he wearing?!? His mother’s black dress?
LMAO!! I think they are flowy pants.....But Sebastian Bach (who I'm seeing and meeting this month) is wearing some shiny pants himself lately but he nails the vocals even nearing 60.
❤❤❤❤❤Eres el mejor único
Big talent.
Where was this?
The performance? I put the link to the interview in the comments of the video. Let me know and I'll get it to you if it's not that! Thanks! #Forever
This at the Unbridled Gala on May 3rd, 2024 at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky.
@@artfulstories Thank you!
@@ChristopherRausch Thank you. Yes, I meant location of the performance. I would love to see him perform in a small venue/club like this, even if lit. Assuming the audience was as well!
Tá envelhecendo como um bom vinho num barril de Carvalho
Sad to watch this guy bumble around onstage when he was one of the greats back in the day
Quality.
He sounds good to me,great voice!!!!!❤
Richie's speech is definitely a little slurred nowadays - could be from when he was drinking too much and it's permanently affected his voice.
Also the instrumental part in the middle was completely screwed up because he didn't switch guitars fast enough.
I believe you are correct. I’ve been watching old interviews and his recents and seems he’s pickled a bit. Sad. Both of them aren’t what they were but neither am I. Turned 55 this year. Shit catches up.
SAY NO TO DRUGZ...PEOPLE and you will never get kicked out of a rock band
What is homey wearing
Not sure. Seems like rock stars get old and dress like ladies lmao. Steven Tyler is a rock God but with his hair up in a man bun sometimes he looks like Golden Girl. Love Richie but his attitude etc turns me off lately.
Curious, can Phil X sing Richie's parts too?
.....I went and checked... yep sings pretty well too and annoyingly he's supposed to be a really nice guy aswell!
Hmmm... he still ain't Richie Sambora though!
P.S. I saw Jon Bon Jovi's biggest fan at their Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction..... his name is... Jon Bon Jovi!?
LOL! He seems much more humble these days. I've watched nearly all of his 2024 interviews. Age has done him well.
@ChristopherRausch you're right. I just looked up his age. He's 58. I always assumed he was much younger than the rest of the band, i.e; a 47 at the oldest.
Sounding better than the last years! he doesn't seem drunk :)
If he's not drunk I worry about what damage has happened to his brain and body. Maybe just old...not older :)
Not sure he's drunk here, this is a much better performance than in 2014 when he was very obviously drunk on stage.
Perhaps he's just older not old LOL!
His pants look really comfortable. So does the purple see-through blouse.
😆😆😆😆 hate to laugh but yeah.
@@ChristopherRausch I'm with you. I love him, too, but.....lol
@@BradCarlMusic he was on fire here czcams.com/video/064bgp6X16U/video.htmlsi=QXk_P5ddhMltWWzf
@@ChristopherRausch For sure. They even changed the key of the song on that performance probably for ZB's voice...so Richie had to play the solo in a different key and everything. He's the man, through and through.
He's transitioning lol
Looks rough, but sounds great.
Love❤you❤very❤very❤rich❤ever❤
Yes we love Richie and hope he gets the help he needs. Meanwhile what I've heard of Forever it's a great album.
With that performance I would estimate that he rocked zero faces.
Oh snap!! Lmao. Ouch but seems to be the case. Hopefully one day again.
I guess u like Taylor Swift
@@abnerpratt9266 - How many faces has she admitted to rocking?
@@abnerpratt9266 lol. No comparison.
❤️🔥🔥🔥RS
I would guess not drunk. he always had a different take when he did the vocals. It doesn't appear he's had a lot of time with that band
Polite way of putting it :)
this sounds kinda like his old acoustic gigs of yesteryear, keep up the good work!
It's recent. I checked the date on it before posted. Thanks!! Keep shining!
when was this?
A few weeks or so ago. I saw it posted on Facebook and was sad to see it given his smack talk about Jon's voice.
what did he say about Jon‘s voice? It‘s so sad to see what has become of both of them really.
he's said a few times "When he gets his voice together" and another was "Oh he had that surgery. From what I hear that doesn't work so I don't know about his future" paraphrasing but no care or concern. Dick. LOL!
Who cares what any of us think, he doesn’t need to do this. What is cool is that he wants too. 💪🏼🙏🏼💪🏼
Agreed he can continue doing what he does and leave it to Phil X to show up and play his ass off ;)
I’m with you that he always seems drunk but he actually doesn’t sound half bad here.
Yeah man thanks for commenting! Sucks. I truly believe in my heart of hearts IF they could work it out, and Richie could stay sober etc. I BELIEVE Jon's voice would come back. Think about it. When did he say it started going south - 2013 - when Richie left the band. Obviously, it's a paralyzed cord but still believe!!!
@@ChristopherRausch nothing to do with that. One of Jon's vocal cord atrophied it can happen to anybody. But when you are a professional singer it is terrible.
His playing is off that's embarassing to say the least :(
@@markwilliamsmusic2987 yup! 😩
@@ChristopherRausch Powerful perspective Christopher. Never thought of this possibility.
The problem with people in this kind of condition is they think they can actually fool you because they're busy fooling themselves that it isn't that obvious. Remember David Cassidy was doing the same thing and many other people who could never really adjust to true mega stardom. I hope he gets better as the longer this goes on the more unlikely he will be able to fight the fight. Also sadly many times if they do get sober the damage is done to their body after decades of abuse and they end up getting a heart attack. Richie says if Jon has his voice back he'll go back to the band. Jon is too smart and won't take him back under this type of circumstance. Hopefully he gets better.
Well said!! I feel that too about him. He might be too pickled. I quit drinking six months ago and feel amazing! Didn't drink that much but as I get older I want longevity. Hopefully they both get better and rock a million more faces!!
He belongs with JBJ
Yeah, but at this point am sure all doors leading to BJ have been closed to him. 11 years is alot
If and when he can get his health and attitude together. Phil X isn't Richie but he's a excellent player and brings new energy to the band :)
Maybe He's just weird. I mean look at the outfit!
I actually enjoyed this performance
LOL!! Glad you did! Made me laugh. We're all unique. I know I am! Just look at my other videos LOL!
🆒💙
Man, is obvious you love Jon and his documentary where he was a Saint....but Richie only said in his interviews that it's a BIG problem what Jon is dealing now with his vocal chords, and if Jon is capable of recover of it, he will join the band. In the documentary talks about Tico, Alec & Richie issues...Saint Jon Bon Jovi didn't drink, smoke or didn't like other women apart of his wife...in 40 years....not fair, don't you think? Richie has right to talk about his point of view in interviews...and NO, in this video doesn't look drunk,but in the past there's a few, it's obvious.
I hear you and thank you for your perspective. I remember Jon fondly talking about Richie and the hole he left and yet Richie didn't say ONE positive/nice thing about Jon in the interview. His tone was like "I'll do them a solid and return" but I would have appreciated "Hey I miss our partnership" or something. Very arrogant and no Jon is not a saint but he ALWAYS showed up 100% for the fans. His voice issues were not in his control and he's done everything he can to correct. There is no Bon Jovi without Jon. I wish Richie NOTHING but the BEST in his pursuits.
@@ChristopherRauschRichie s acititude is so weird, like in his mind HE is the band, he is bon jovi, but his solo career never took him anywhere but to be invited to play bon jovi songs
@@nahuel2201 so true, he never plays his own songs, its always bon Jovi songs lol
@@user-vw1lz4pf6d But he wrote most of the songs, as well as co-wrote some with Jon. Richie had 3 albums out during this time,. He knew he was good enough to go solo. And those albums are amazing! I think he did his years with JBJ band, and in that time earned as well as learned.
@@deborahlou5218 i dont think there is any song by bon jovi that Ritchie wrote by himself, he co-wrote a substantial amount and you can check the credits for that fact. Jon wrote" bed of roses" and "always" by himself and the credits indicates that. Ultimately i think they bring the best out of each other
Que calça é essa cara ? Kkk
Puts .. até Sambora tá nessa meu Deus do céu
Quite punchy on guitar def sober some legend guitar parts looks like he is having fun entertaining that transition to the solo though needs a lil work ha ha.
Well said!
The one and only Richie Sambora; the soul of Bon Jovi.
At one point I'd agree he definitely brought some magic but I don't see it now. He seems full of himself and that saddens me.
@@ChristopherRausch He does seem to be letting a little bit of arrogance show through These Dayzzz, whereas Jon Bon has only been full of himself since... Alllllwaaaaays!!!!!
(Both of them have been idolised for years, no surprise some of it has gone to their heads)
I hear you and feel Jon now SEEMS to be more humble and thankful. I was NOT the person and man I am today back in my 30's. Now 55 and much different and more at ease in my own skin.
Why is he wearing a dress?
he's not wearing a dress, glasses are needed here. he's relaxed.
LOL!! They are flowy pants :)
@@ChristopherRausch I didn’t watch more than 30 seconds because it was crap. I never saw it was pants

¿Appears to Be Out of Sorts Drunk?
Seems to be by most accounts. Some find the performance fine. All a matter of perspective. Thanks! Fav Bon Jovi album?
Hes old not drunk
BEAUTIFUL Richie Sambora 👏👏🤘🎶🎸🎶🎤🎶🎧🎶THANK YOU 👏♥️♥️♥️♥️🇦🇷🤘
He’s not drunk.
Well so many others see it. Perhaps he’s just older. Like the song. Love Richie don’t get me wrong. ❤️
Glad you’re a fan. People are stereotyping him thinking he’s always drunk. He still sounds good despite aging.
I’ve noticed a MAJOR difference in his tone as well. It’s very laid back compared to when he used to use delay and reverb and all of that in Bon Jovi. Seems his tone is “dry” and not enough drive. That has personally messed with me before when trying to play this very same song. From the interviews and stuff you see of him lately he seems sober and looks much MUCH healthier. I hope it’s just a matter of him practicing and tweaking his settings and he will find his magic again.
Love this! Perhaps it was super improv and he THOUGHT he could do it like riding a bike. Who knows. Love Phil X though :)
Omg😢😂
Why does everyone assume Richie is the drunk? He sounds great to me. A lot of the slurring could be attributed to hearing loss, as I know he has some. After 30 years of touring you know there has to be some. As far as the lip licking - nerves?? Idk Stop judging!!!
You guys who criticise Go tour year after year after year .Jon is cooked ,I honestly dont know how you could just be away all your life. I give him 11 out of 10 ,But gee ,I dont blame Richie for being what I know as normal.I took days of work and honestly, if GOD aid here go be a second Bon JOVI with all success and be as good looking and be as equal BUT to go out on the road all the time .I couldnt do it for a billion every 5 years.No one can keep his family other than Jon how the F he did it its mind blowing but i couldnt be even if I wanted to ,id F up
Watching 2024 docu I realize that Jon is pretty much selfcentered and emotionless person, his smile is fake and there is no warmth or joy in his soul, this is just a something he thrives for but he does not have it and he is not happy, now imagine you have to spend 30 years with that person, you would probably also have to be drunk or high in order to get it through. I wish that Richie, a warm and caring person overcomes these struggles and get himself right and forget about Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi has moved on without him, he should move on too and get his on music heard and played live.
I would have said the same in years past but now he REALLY seems comfortable in his own skin. He acknowledges in the doc his demanding "keep f'g going" mentality and wishes he wouldn't have been that hard. But that drive got them through what other bands of their time didn't survive much less thrive. I wish them both amazing lives and more music from both!
In the late 80s many of their interviews had Jon, Richie and David. After 2000, I noticed it was mostly Jon sometimes with Richie. After Richie left I finally saw a few featuring David & Tico. And hearing David express it hurt him too when Richie left.
Jon had been doing his fan club meet n greets alone, and actually had David and Tico come to one in 2017. The band inclusion has been nice to see again.
From the documentary it feels like Richie was slowly sidelined for John Shanks for that 2009 album. I dont know if Jon was in a hurry to get the album done or what.....but I felt for Richie in that part.
❤❤❤
@@RockFan89 I’m pretty sure that he states that in the documentary that he had to get another guitarist to be ready in case Richie showed up drunk or whatever. I think John has grown as a human being so we have to cut him some slack that I know for me being 55 how much different than I was at 35
@@ChristopherRausch I like Phil X. I wish he would write at least 1 song with him and see how the sound turns out.
Isso é triste. Acho que só Dead Martin parecia engraçado quando estava bêbado e não um pobre velho. Richie não conseguiu fazer nada ao vivo nos últimos 10 anos, até mesmo tocar guitarra não é bom.
He looks so sick... I wonder if he's ok
Many comments were of that same nature on the FB post I originally got this video from. You would think he'd want to be in the BEST shape of his life coming out with new music and ON STAGE. I pray for him as his song says. I Pray.
In '15 I met him and I could smell it on him, no joke, it's just sad and all you can do is pray!
Alcoholism is a disease. He may have not hit rock bottom yet. He has to come to the point that enough is enough. I truly hope he gets help but it is something he will face the rest of his life. I love Richie. I want him to be happy and healthy.❤❤❤
@@nkotbjunkie I agree and love him too. Back in the day you watch those 90’s performances and they could do no wrong. I feel for them both. I’m 55 now and I see it and feel it. 🙏❤️🎸
I hope he's well.
O povo reclama que ele tá bêbado. Olha , mesmo alcoolizado,
ele tá cantando mil vezes melhor que o John sóbrio.
You always have to put Jon next to drunk Richie. Jon Bon Jovi, apart from having a better voice, is in good shape in the head, which is the most important thing!!!!!
A diferença é que o Jon teve problemas reais nas cordas vocais e o principal do Richie é a guitarra e não a voz, guitarra essa que com todo respeito n ta muito legal n
@@lucaspedrosafavalopes1810
Sim concordo. O problema ,no caso do Jon , é que ele nunca imaginou que estaria cantando Runaway aos 60 anos. Ele não teve o cuidado de se poupar e berrava toda a noite como se não houvesse amanhã.
Agora tá pagando a conta....
Isso foi uma escolha dele.
David Coverdale disse isso uma vez.
O cara nunca pensa no futuro e quando o futuro chega.......
Aconteceu com Axl , com Paul Stanley , com o Coverdale e com o Bon Jovi.
Jon bon Jovi also started smoking which is not good especially when your a lead singer I am a huge dokken fan but between smoking and singing for 40 plus years doing so many concerts and having all the health problems he did hasn't done his voice any favors but I will still see him if they have a concert near me
@@stephensanchez9590love don, and i dont know if don had many money, but wish don could do something with his paralized vocal chord, theraphy, and specially vocal coaching, it always bothered me the he never trained with a vocal coach to stop pushing his voice with air like he do live
Dude still sounds great!
Glad you think so! We all have our perspectives and opinions. Do you like his new songs he released?
Looks great!!
Bon Jovi the band is a business. It is Jon’s band, not Ritchie’s. Jon is and was one of the hardest working musicians/ business man. I love Ritchie but if you come to work inebriated, you’re fired. Jon Bon Jovi worked his butt off to get his band Bonjovi to be a household name. There was no viral videos on tick tock to get him discovered. He did it the hard way - playing bars and knocking on radio stations doors trying to get radio to play his music, and when they told him NO he never gave up. Today Jon is a multi millionaire and has a highly successful band. Jon is also a philanthropist who donates a ton of his money helping homeless and giving back to his communities. I’ve met Jon twice and he is one of the nicest guys on the planet. He is kind and respectful to all of his fans. I don’t get why people have so much hate for him?
HATE is a reflection of one's inner world...
they want to pull him down to their level, so they attack. human nature i guess, but Jon is used to that.
@@user-vw1lz4pf6d right, and coming from New Jersey he probably took it, thought about it, and responded with 'Have a Nice Day' - the person receiving the response probably walked away with a bit question mark above his/her head. have a nice day can mean anything, like F. . . You. am not from new jersey but heard Jon and Richie once talk about that remark.
Trist!😂😂😂
He is just fine.
Respect!!!!
I have always defended Richie since he left Bon Jovi cause he was the reason I love the band. Indeed, he sings really better than Jon. Indeed, he was the soul of Bon Jovi. But since 2014 he’s permanently drunk, out of tune, too much theatrical, he’s voice is awful, make mistakes with the lyrics. Try to get sober and you’ll be really better. And stop to say “I am gonna return, it’s just a question of time.” Because after you’re gonna say “maybe” or “except one condition”. I am really sad of what he became. I’ve seen him in 2012. It was magic. And once in 2014. Awful
Love this share bro!! It makes me sad and mad to see people waste their gifts. In his words I Pray he gets help and he and Jon can both heal and create music for the future. I wish I could coach him. Thank you!
The soul of Bon Jovi could never have been him with the little head he has. If he had led it they would have achieved nothing.
100% agree sadly..he needs to get sober. No way jon will entertain him in this state
@@aldothenoo so true
What has Richie achieved alone, since he is not in the band? Would you know him, if he wasn't in Bon Jovi?
Honestly, kinda hard to watch. Hope he's taking care of himself.
This is my prayer for him too!! Thank you!
I go back to the 60's and 70s. Performers were always high, tripping, on heroin, etc. Killled some of them. But, they were amazing in their art. Why is it any different this day and age?
I believe there is a higher standard these days. I feel bad for Richie. He has the talent to shine bright but seems he continues to self-sabotage. But definitely check out Phil X's videos on his channel. He's a madman on guitar!!
He looks like my Aunt Ruth on this one...these aging rockers are oblivious, that botox wont dix your singing....either bow out gracefuly or work within the new limitstions age has given yiu. Lower it down a key, etc.
Just a rumour.. ive heard that the reason why Jon BJ hasent agreed with terms with Ritchie is because of his alcohol addiction/abuse.
We all know that Bon Jovi is kinda opposite of that addiction.. right?
Not surprised. I had heard Jon was deep in the wine for a few years and was still smoking but can’t confirm. I doubt he is now. He looks better than 2020. 🙏🙏❤️🩹❤️🩹
We will never know the truth anyway.. differenses between man will always be true.. no matter what i guess 🤘
Yeah, you can not trust a person with abuse...and why the hell pay to watch a drunk man play? Now a days I believe Jon, David and Tico actually played big roles to keep him sober and busy. Helped him untill he would/could take any more help. Its like a boring marriage, the wife keep you from doing dum stuff, and when you get a divorce you go and make your life worse...free, but worse!
@@asbjrnl.srensen3781Very very true words 🤘🙏
Bj is better without richie at this point
I have always loved Richie. But lately, he's acting like a petty little b.... I heard a clip where he said that the band didn't show him compassion for what he was going through. BS! If they didn't have compassion, they wouldn't have given him chance after chance when he would just not show up or showed up drunk (as it seems he is here, yet again). I have never heard Jon say negative things about Richie, but Richie is constantly making backhanded comments about Jon. Then talks about re-joining the band. Well, no thanks. I watched the documentary, and I don't see where Jon is arrogant or anything. Actually, I saw where he admitted to mistakes that he made.
Don't forget, Richie is the one that attached his wagon to Jon and Bon Jovi because he knew that Jon would be a star and he wanted to go along for the ride. Jon didn't seek him out. Yes, they were amazing together and it did leave a hole when he left, but, he left.
You quit on your band mates mid stream and you complain of not getting compassion? Richie is not serious. I dont see Jon ever allowing him to re-join the band.
I like your words, truth. Jon has been kind with his words to Richie, and also patient. As a fan I do miss the 2 of them together hamming it up and looking great, in the younger years. again, i like your words. good stuff.
shocking😂
In the last interview he says that he has broken off relations with the rest of the band that he called green berets and the mafia in the documentary in which he appears drunk as a drunk. With that you lose all credibility and RESPECT. He has also had alcohol problems since 2008.
I wouldn’t go that far but yeah his arrogance and substance issues are hindering his “comeback” I truly hope he gets it together. Thanks for commenting. Are you digging Legendary and Living Proof? Phil X is amazing. Been down a rabbit hole in his guitar videos. He plays Van Halen like nothing I’ve ever seen. And he’s a cool cat.
@ChristopherRausch living proof is a cool song, but nothing special. Legendary is same old bland Bon Jovi since 2013. Richie's I Pray and Songs That Wrote My Life blow them out of the water
@@zhelyazkopetkov8211 When you start defending Richie without having to name Bon Jovi, then I'll think you believe in his talent.
Richie is so full of crap
Hes still on the drink and unpredictable thats why jon can never trust him again
Certainly this opinion outweighs those who think Jon is the problem. I pray (in Richie's words) he comes back around fully and somehow they can reunite. Thanks!
Phil X is a yes man - just does what Jon tells him. Richie was 50% behind the songs and music and if it was not for him they would not have had half the hits that made them so big. Bon Jovi is not even half as good as they were now without Richie.
How do you know all of this? We are all entitled to our opinion thanks!
While Jon composes conceptual works for films among other assignments such as composing for Pavarotti and singing with him, what achievements has Richie achieved on his own without Jon? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
he is not well😢
Check this out!! WOW! czcams.com/video/y6S51eB02ic/video.htmlsi=0znmgXzCp-JJHVlr
Kinda sad drunk again :(
Seems as so. Sad. I hold out hope though!!!
Gee maybe it’s that he’s done this for over forty years and he’s older now. Stop hating and just love the fact that he’s still doing it and doing it well!! Can you? Rick on Richie!!
@@NicholasKolb-kq3vm been a professional musician for 30 years ... I sound better now than ever. It's sad to see him still washed... I just hope he can get better and control his addiction and be healthy. Jon would never take him back otherwise. He's been there already he will not take the chance.
@@NicholasKolb-kq3vm Stop telling people what do do.
Well of course he's tipsy, taliking only about the improv solo which suuuuucked AF, tempo was horrible and was all sorts of out of sync, but then the whole song and the comeback to the actual solo was awesome. I love Richie, that voice was the signature sound of Bon Jovi, you could tell it was a Bon Jovi song just bny listening to that background voice.
he always had the better voice than Jon
We all have our opinions. What's your fav Richie album?
Your inferiority complex is noticeable when you have to compare it with another. When someone is good, we only talk about them.
You must be fun at parties! Have a kickass day!!
Somebody come get their Memaw, she’s off her meds again….
😂😂
Volve con Jon, please 🙏🏻🤍
He is broken. Sorry.
I pray that he gets the help that he needs and comes back stronger than ever. Hopefully.
Phil X PLEASE 🤘🏻
He’s a rad mother trucker! Love him. Check out his videos. He plays Eddie Van Halen perfectly. Not shitting.
He’s good, and a lot of people can play EVH… but has he ever written timeless music like Ritchie has?!
@@KenKellySWFL I’ve just recently gotten into his story and such. I know he’s an incredible guitar player and if he’s good enough to replace Richie then it doesn’t matter what’s he’s written. To be honest not digging Richies new songs.

Im sadened to see Ritche like this. Butchering the songs.
Perhaps he'll be the Robert Downey Jr. recovery of music. Meanwhile, Phil X is a madman!! Love him. Went down a rabbit hole on his CZcams channel. He can literally play anything.
Awfull,sinister !
I wouldn't go as far as "Sinister" but yeah it needs work.
He is just not right - I am not supporting Jon here - but Richie is not right since too long. He was an amazing artist but, ti be honnest, he lost It.
Well, hopefully he can get it back together. I think John is performing tonight on American Idol so it’ll be interesting to here how his voice is progressed.
Of course he is drunk, he has a heavy addiction since 2006
This is sad
I feel this too. Sad on so many fronts. Perhaps he'll get some help and who knows! Robert Downey Jr. is living example of what's possible with addictions.
Not drunk at all. He's ALWAYS been like this. Pay attention.
Ouch! I do pay attention and seems 70-80% of the other comments seem to believe he's something.
He can't play, ponte bien Richie!!!
He can play it, just not like it used to be
Richie I am sorry but you by yourself sounds awful and Jon doesn't need you anymore go on man! you made your choice
I agree! Time to let that train go. Phil X rocks!
Get back to John before its to late Ritchie you are turning into something wrong

True, but his pride......, he wants Jon to call him, but that will never happen
