Backstage with Richie Sambora

[@devilemperor123]

Totally underrated guitarist

[@MaKetchup10]

Devilemperor absolutely agree. However slowly being realised now after Bob Jovi how good he really is.Think leaving Bon Jovi made people realise how good he really is.

[@hirawstra8edge137]

hardly underrated, his solos and riffs are played in music shops everywhere, and makes the top end of most guitarists charts.

[@supernatural9r406]

Richie Sambora my Favorite Guitarist of all Time 💛 God bless you Brother. I Love you.

[@brandybemyname]

COOOL i love richie's playing

[@cherin5892]

Love Richie's class and soul. He cares about Humanity. I hope today he's clean and sober

[@chambers5741]

for me..... tanks for inspiration RICHIE :))

[@thereste10]

Legend

[@davortos]

He needs to play more on records and shows!! Here Rich shows that he can still play the 6-string.

[@jonmacist]

That's probably why he left Bon jovi playing the same county pop soft rock

[@tlsnana9539]

I saw Richie when he was with Bon Jovi

[@The77SpaceMan]

@Ayatollah7800 underrated by the guitarist-society. Everybody think that the wilder solos are good, but the rhytmic solos are much better, just like richie plays.I think this is why he is 'underrated'.

[@mm-bo8mc]

awesome wow sweet guitar an a awesome guartist

[@anthonylove821]

What kind of guitar is the black one that has the open end triangle shape at the end of the neck? Nice looking guitar Richie is the best by the way… great sense of humor, humble and amazing guitarist!!!

[@boliviabusker5323]

cool

[@alohakeakuamusic]

is it a sambora wo the star inlays?

[@pergustafsson1155]

alohakeakuamusic Yes.

[@The77SpaceMan]

That Floyd guitar based off the Jersey Star is killer

[@NascarTomcatFan]

Yea i agree but it would be better if he went back to using the old Kramer Jersey star guitars that he once owned and it would be even cool if he partnered with Kramer again to bring back the Jersey star signature series.

[@mariusgustavus6522]

@RianaRocketQueen: I know this might be just a shot in the dark, since this video is about 13 years old, but I was wondering if you can tell me when exactely this was shot. It's 2005 or 2006 for sure, but I'd need to know the month or day if possibile. Thanks

[@tarekaly7587]

Rather than the guitar tone, i can hear Al Pacino voice indeed!

[@Ayatollah7800]

@The77SpaceMan Well, he has been featured in just about every guitar-magazine there is...multiple times! And the same magazines vote Page and Clapton the best guitarists of all time, although they never have been playing fast. Take a look at other guitarists fans - they are complaining about their heroes being underrated as well.

[@granny4256]

Richie did you take lessons or self taught

[@MrSircharly]

what a player..but hey..hes done the best stuff on strats..

[@tcconnection]

Interesting

[@DabLOPhantOM]

what is that guitar at 4:29? I knw it is a custom made, but what is the brand?

[@stealthbum34]

Great guitarist, it's just such a shame he stopped pushing the boundaries a long time ago, choosing to stay in his comfort zone. Consider a guitarist like Slash, who's really pushed the boat out over the years, it's a shame Richie couldn't try a little harder to experiment and push the music.

[@adm924s3]

I would say his master kept him in the corner !

[@phil8249]

Dylan Jones richie is an employee of a corporation. That corporation being bon Jovi. So he has to play the way he's told. Bon Jovi is not a band.

[@adm924s3]

phily *** okkk so it was the corporation that wrote all the riffs and solos ?.. people who run their bands purely for cash are tw#ts

[@stealthbum34]

I think Phil X, current Bon Jovi guitarist is a better example of being restricted by the JBJ corporation. That guy is phenomenal, yet his work with the band is sub standard. If he were allowed to make his mark on an album, it'd be as exciting as it was in Sambora's prime.

[@goodearssrock6902]

Dylan Jones was a great guitar on his time 80'$ 90'$ If he were decided to be modern progressive guitar player blues rock, but no he was from the classic lineup guitarrist! He never pretended to be modern guitar player, he only re adapted his blue style to modern sounds like rock alternative and similar styles, he had no idea jow was going to be his life in the marriage, he fucked his own life since he was married with heather lockear!

[@graberronnie1]

The tuning on that 59' was most likely a half step down, or a full step down.

[@Kengursson]

Its half step down but a capo on fret 2 look at livevideos from that time

[@that80srock]

oh come one, he is totally not underrated ! he has a HUGE fan base ;)

[@Ayatollah7800]

@kloahami007 Underrated how and by who?

[@hanaazliant6579]

1:27 chouging

[@braedon.lee8610]

What slash plays all the time on stage , Richie plays backstage 😂

[@paulapayne7940]

Slash plays for fame and fortune. Richie Sambora plays for love of the music.

[@cindycoleman4806]

Amen

[@talikarat--y]

mr bluessy...

[@ricomajestic]

I thought 90% of the tone was in the hands! At least that's what "experts" tell me!

[@pacochuquiure5459]

That guitar Richie created has the most awful tone I have heard. Nowadays Richie has dropped It completely returning to his vintage Fenders and Gibsons. Good thinking Richie. Now please publish your new album already.

[@jasonl1942]

Richie's best sound and guitar was in the 'these days' era.

[@6410daniel]

im sure a bass body.. ehhh..

[@markcartel4518]

you are cool. but the guitar is like meh.

[@nenadpesicnew7303]

Slash is much better then Sambora...

[@gregvincenavarrete8916]

nenad pesic new For me Richie is more fast handy and emotional guitar player in my opinion Richie is better....
