Richie Sambora - should I see him?

[JC_AOR]

Richie Sambora is touring Australia later this month and playing one show close to home. I like his 1st album Stranger....is he worth seeing, and does he play with a good band usually?

[Mullethead]

I would compare it to watching a golf, tennis or bowling tournament. Yawn....

[Captain Howdy]

I would say go see him. The guy can still sing and play the guitar second to none, despite his "issues".

I love all his solo stuff, and he will always drop some classic Jovi tunes into the set as well.

Saw him when tour to promote his second release, it was very enjoyable night.

he is excellent live. Guy can still sing.

I'm hoping to get over to syndey for this gig.

Hey Lindsay its with a full band isn't it? I don't want to go if it's an acoustic thing. Thanks for the advise guys. Cheers.

[glam_junkie]

Yeah, full band including Orianthi.

Few other kinda well known museos in the band also.

[JC_AOR]

Cool thanks man, will consider going.

Anyone else go, this was sold out here in Melbourne The guys soundwave show was very bluesy, atleast thats what I got told for the Melbourne show.

[glam_junkie]

Went to Sydney, was an awesome show.

Played over 2 hours, with a mix of solo stuff, jovi stuff, and covers.

Well worth going.

Heard Melbourne was over sold, people couldn't get in. A friend who did get in said they couldn't see any of the show at all.

[glam_junkie]

Oh, at syd they got Jon Farriss on stage for the inxs cover 'don't change' and in Melbourne they got the singer from living colour on stage to sing ' purple rain' .

I would pay to see Sambora... I would no longer walk across the street to see Bon Jovi for free.

 

I'd love to sit down with Richie and talk the truth... ask him how he REALLY feels about the direction the band took starting in about 1995 and how they cater to nothing but Soccer Moms at this point.

 

The band Bon Jovi is nothing more than a front to pump Jon's uber left wing agenda and pompous ego now-a-days... and that sucks (for me, anyway), as I was one of their biggest fans back in the day.
