Richie Sambora - Wanted Dead Or Alive

Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi - Wanted dead or alive, live 2005, with Lorenca Ponce playing the violin... (What an excellent performance by Richie! By the way I love his smile at the beginning of the video;-)

[@lou196t]

This song belongs to Richie!!!! Love his voice and we all know he’s a rock star on guitar!!!!🎸♥️🤘

[@campcoldone4072]

Hands down the backbone of Bon Jovi..without Richie they were NOTHING!!

[@bobbyapplegate4858]

@@campcoldone4072 100 percent everyone including Jon knows that they suck without Richie actually Jon is a Biden supporter I will never listen to his music again after finding that out what a fucking lie his whole gig is a fucking lie he stands with the worst president in American history what a shame

[@yunqisun4017]

You know it’s his song when you hear him sings it. I’ve always loved this song, Richie’s version sounds even better❤

Wish more people knew how talented and inspiring Richie is

Agreed 💯

Totally agree on that

[@miguelrodrigo3875]

The guy who left Bon Jovi because he had to look after his only daughter, massive massive respect for mr. Sambora

[@cristianglzmtz]

Richie and Lorenza together are so f’ great!

[@KWSfan2000]

Always my fave. Richie had the stronger voice...he and Jon blended well together . Sure do miss those days.

[@lipeguitars]

If I ever liked Bon Jovi is because of Richie ,while Jon Bon Jovi might be the front man and the owner of the name brand, Richie Sambora always been the heart soul of this band.

[@DarrenJones]

Jon misses him more he'd ever admit.

[@WaxyJo]

Agree I was always a Richie fan but Jon's stability and sureness was so important, I mean it's not the Beatles but, I reckon John Lennon would say in his Liver-pool-drawl, "ahhh-they're way better than the beatles, they even have a mall" x

[@coravaldez6873]

Ivo Stan tks for clarifying that, I never knew that. First time I heard richie sing it & he does sing it better & with heart & soul, I like the deepness of voice compared to jon. Tks

This is amazing with the violin. New spin on an old classic. It's fantastic. You can tell the violinist worked her ass off to get this perfect.

[@survivrs]

Shayna Shaw That would be Lorenza. She has played with Bon Jovi quite a bit. While I can't remember what concert or video it was, she and Richie were having fun as they were back to back of each other and Jon told them to get a room. She's been in most of their acoustic recordings as well.

[@giorgioandreabaldisserri3811]

survivrs Jon is a piece of shit

[@anamariadelrio1285]

How not to say that Richie was the soul of the band. Have any doubt?!

[@bookwoman53]

Richie has great breath control. From a technical standpoint it creates a fuller sound. Breathing from the diaphragm makes it easier to sustain notes without breaks. It also results in more strength and stamina without putting a strain on the vocal cords.

[@lattelucks4924]

Not How it works

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Liam Gimenez Richie is better than the backing singer

[@ReneaPurdin]

Richie Sambora's talents go so far and beyond what Bon Jovi fans could ever imagine! I considered myself a huge fan. Now I understand why Richie seemed content to remain somewhat in the background to Jon. Not to take anything away from those who play with Richie on his own or The Band Bon Jovi. Whether whoever chooses to stay, go or reunite. Will make for some killer music. Richie congrats on going solo. I wld like say stay solo bcause you totally can keep pulling it off as long as you choose. Jon I have a lot of love for Bon Jovi the Band but seriously guys y'all could totally be on top all together, but definitely lacking seriously with what Richie and his Band can bring to the table. Hopefully we will see y'all back together sooner than later.

[@markwright5223]

Jon has a great singing voice Richie has a great singing voice They both complimented each others vocals. Bon Jovi the band worked so well because they all complimented each other so well..

[@sylvester3018]

yea but you have to admit it is kind of embarrassing when your guitarist can sing better than you, the lead vocalist. plus he's the guitarist so naturally, he can play better than you.

[@markwright5223]

Yes it must be...but Roche wasn't lead singer burning his vocals out night after night like jon did for s few decades . So yes Richie ended up with better vocals But Jon ended up being a far better person in the end ....

[@stevieross1402]

Better tone, phrasing than JBJ.

[@stevieross1402]

+King Pin Sorry my friend, Samboras voice has a much more natural 'Rock' feel to it, whereas JBJ forces texture into his voice to achieve a sound that he doesn't naturally posess. All that being said, they're very successful, so what you or I think is pretty much matter less. This is all just my opinion which counts for nothing at the end of the day.

[@stevieross1402]

+King Pin Yeah, a nice exchange of differing view points. ........Respect!......Enjoy your music listening my friend.

[@Jetrules231]

I don't like the way he sings the songs live. Like with how he's holding the notes longer. It's critiquing the style, not his voice btw people

[@williamsmith8790]

100%. He was always the better singer. JBJ was just prettier.

Ottimo come sempre Richie Sambora, Hugh Mcdonald sempre presente, Loreza Ponce strepitosa piena di adrenalina e un bel pezzo di figa unica meglio di Oranthi, onore al pubblico italiano che non rinnega Richie Sambora nonostante tutto...

I personally think that Richie has a much nicer and zaujmavejší voice like Jon. But both are number one! Richie, I love you!

[@andrewpassos7239]

People talks about Jon not being Jon anymore without his freakin voice, of course, the voice lifetime of a lead singer is way shorter than a back vocal, please fellas, Richie was the back vocal, his voice is awesome a now it's time for him to use it, Jon times has passed already, but he is still Jon Bon Jovi!

[@ChartreuseKitty]

True, but this is from 2005. Richie has since blasted his voice with coke and booze. It hurts to listen to him. And Jon sings through his nose these days. Good thing we have KZbin for the old good stuff.

[@chuckh4532]

ChartreuseKitty LOL @ 'Jon sings through his nose these days'. I couldn't have said it better.

[@survivrs]

Andrew Farias Sort of like pro athletes. After awhile, arthritis and age starts to kick them in the ass and they have to call it quits. I'm glad Jon still wants to sing but the music on the next album is going to have to stay in a lower key because like you said, he can't his the notes he did 30 years ago. Getting old isn't all it's cracked up to be. It sucks!

[@johncusato3919]

I don't think Jon's voice is quite what it was back in the day. I love Bon Jovi although their performances these days are now more professional. Maybe with age his voice has lost something, but I reckon they're a great band.

[@armorhide406]

Yeah age really kills vocals. Their lifestyle isn't conducive to maintaining that gritty powerful rock voice

[@MrLisa35]

Don't know why bon Jovi isn't there but, at the end of the day Richie entertained the audience and that's what matters.
