Bon Jovi on 40 Years, Writing ‘Living on a Prayer’, Vocal Surgery & Richie Sambora | Absolute Radio

[@sargentrowell81]

After binging the series and getting the full story on what drove Richie away, I think it highlights what a decent person Jon is. I can say I was annoyed hearing the quiet tension that built up and culminated in him quiting with zero warning. The fact he still says he's waiting for a phone call shows he's more patient than I am.

[@CocoJac44]

One of the best music documentaries I’ve seen & even better that it’s about my beloved Bon Jovi! Excellent storytelling while staying focused on the music. Now I’m appreciating Jon’s philanthropy & really hope Dorothea’s restaurant orders get prioritized 💞

[@Vivarius_RLPBY]

Too funny.. I've seen quite a bunch of recent promo talks of Jon about that new TV doc: Does he literally LIVE in that same single brown jacket? Its the same at EVERY occasion 😆

[@CamiloEG]

He most likely did several interviews in the same day

[@paulchisholm3305]

Don't we all wear the same jacket a lot?

[@marymore7366]

it’s clearly his docu-promo jacket

[@Vivarius_RLPBY]

@@CamiloEG No. Different dates, at least for a lot

[@Vivarius_RLPBY]

@@marymore7366 Yeah 😉 Obviously

[@kalterkakaozumfruhstuck1515]

he says that Richie was just at Jon's house, which is much more than just a phone call. That doesn't make any sense to me! They must have talked about the band and the future during that time!! Richie also said a short time ago that he wants to go back and that they have to reunite for the fans!! That's why I find Jon's statements confusing.

[@BadHorsie1]

Same, I really don't understand that

[@redarrow6188]

jon wants richie back, richie wants to come back. the only problem at this point is shanks, richie is not going to join the band unless shanks has a smaller role and to be honest that’s 100% fair. Richie and Jon are Bon Jovi not Shanks and there’s no need to have three guitar players on tour.

Richie brought him a birthday gift and apparently Jon upset him yet again. Richie left without watching most of it

[@OfficialAshArcher]

It was an amazing series that told a beautiful, honest story about some brilliant musicians and people.

He said in the documentary there are so many songs he found that he should have released because they are good. They are not on that box set.

Ciao Jon, I Watched now another interwy at television. I'm proud to be your fan, all of You are beautiful, I Hope to listen a new Song as soon. Much love Always, Elena ❤️💋👋🤞🤞💯🔥☺️ I Always pray God to give You, dear Jon, a Nice voice, You are a fighter, don't forget this‼️🙏☘️🍀

[@jbredow]

Richie left because of personal issues but the real reason why he didn’t come back it’s because he was feeling like a band’s employee. During their break in the early 90’s, Jon really prepared the band to the next step and took the lead on it. That move consolidated him even more as THE leader of the band. The other members accepted pretty well but Richie always felt hurt about it.

[@hawtmess66]

Ive been a huge fan for 40 yrs. I was along for the ride the whole time. Sadly, its not the same without Ritchie. But the documentary is great. Ive watched it twice

[@Tessa-dg4no]

[@DemetriaVanzanten-xy8om]

It hurts me knowing Richie has never given him a call or explanation. My respect for Richie is gone. They're doing great!❤❤❤❤❤

[@robertjakubowski5016]

Jon Bon Jovi is now an endemic species, this character straight from a fairy tale in which there is no room for stillness or inaction, he has such an original personality of creation that does not allow you to pass by it indifferently without at least a moment of reflection or reflection on how life can be fragile short and like a daydream it becomes so real when you listen to music created by someone who has never avoided hard work and like never before it is ours today we are involuntary participants in this great project that is human life and to no longer be accused of writing which has no end, I will say in the words of the song "it's my life" and all the rest is just a blink of an eye at the master's whim.

[@Tessa-dg4no]

See you on the road soon Tessa bon Jovi love you all

[@stephjovi]

A guy called Desmond? That´s the credit to Desmond child who helped them get from 7800 Degrees fahrenheit almost losing the record deal, to global succes?

[@paulelverstone8677]

Des to his friends... ;o)

[@jersey.girl.lost.inthe.country]

Ok I need an answer from the band themselves. At the end of Raise Your Hands....Jon is listing off towns. For the last 30 or so years At the end I swear he says Sayerville New Jersey. I saw on a lyrics site it was Salem, New Jersey. Hey guys if you can clear this up I would be very grateful!! Been a fan since the beginning!!!

[@paulelverstone8677]

I'm no authority but I hear Sayerville New Jersey also...

[@jersey.girl.lost.inthe.country]

@@paulelverstone8677 I always thought that since that was his hometown. I have a ton of family in that area.

The host was really cool in not getting Jon out of there… The dude really didn’t want to be there that day…

[@James-wu4re]

we all know Richie wrote everything

[@hawtmess66]

I feel so sorry for Jon. He must be so tired of talking about Richie. Nearly the first question hes asked in all the interviews are about Richie

[@nunodarrell6606]

Now time for Jon to rest his voice doing all these interviews

[@sloboz8787]

Jon seems really bored and unpolite here. The host is very professional, trying really hard not to say "you can't sing anymore, get TF out of my studio"

[@pam4697]

That is his normal behavior. He has been trying to put on a front recently to promote the documentary.

[@OfficialAshArcher]

What rubbish

[@danm9460]

Has Jon made an effort to reach out to Richie? Why wait for the phone to ring? Make the first move jon

[@henrycrews9344]

If you can't tell who the real soul of the band was then you're blind. After Richie left there is nothing, not one hit song. Just 100 songs that all sound the same. Jon doesn't want Richie back in the band. Jon was glad to see Richie go, then he could pay PhilX very little and take Richie's cut. Jon is about money, why else would you beat this dead horse tour after tour. And he sounds awful. Please retire. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 PLEASE

[@paulelverstone8677]

Difficult to disagree with a lot of this. While I loved the band as a kid, really, I haven't heard anything decent since 2005's HaND. Bon Jovi is a bRand - not a band now...
