Well, Jon is the leader and the band member who was signed to the record contract. The rest of the band - including Sambora - were hired by Jon. He could’ve made it a solo act, but chose to form a group using just his last name. That said, I too prefer Sambora over Bon Jovi in some ways, but I believe Jon is the more talented songwriter.
dear Dominguez Household - yes he does ! There are a slew of those guys/bands I listened to [ even some from the 70's ha😂ha ] continue to sound astonishing. I shall admit there are some that should've hung it all up !!! ***And as a side note, let's be reminded how great a fiddle sounds in a rock-n-roll band***including the likes of Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention, Mahavishnu Orchestra & John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.....to name only a few. Let's keep rock-n-roll 🎸 🎤 🥁 🎻 alive forever ‼‼
Richie was the heart and soul of Bon Jovi, and he was the real singer. His voice is still beautiful. And he and Zac Brown Band make beautiful music together. ❤❤❤
Still love this song. Richie Sambora is still amazing!!! I'm so blessed I was born in 72, I got to grow up listening to the best music ever!!! Including 80's hair bands we ROCKED!!!
@@spspcards1If the kids had good HS in ‘80’s parents like my kids- they got exposed to it! 😂 And our 23 & 25 yr old both listen to stadium rock & hair metal.
The real reason is there isn't much that the ZBB can't cover and cover well. They are truly an ultimate cover band that hit it with mainstream success of their own.
Richie Sambora can sing. I love this song, and it's definitely one of my Bon Jovi hits. How awesome is it that Zac got to sing with Richie? A memory he will never forget. Awesome performance by two great musicians.
I never get tired of seeing / hearing this song played live, particularly when Mr S is at the wheel. Hopefully he never tires of playing it, either. Thx to all, for this fine performance!
I've been to a shit load of concerts...God knows I can't count lol - - but I'll say this seeing Zac Brown is hands down one of the best shows ever!!! What a F----ing show!!!
Good old amazingly talented and super humble Richie Sambora. Without him, Bon Jovi would have had Runaway as their lone hit song and long forgotten by now.
I've been a Richie Sambora fan ever since the release of his solo album "Stranger In This Town" back in 1991 which has always been one of my all time favorite albums.. It is so awesome to see him still performing so well after all of these years! If you haven't heard the album yet, please check it out.. It is awesome all the way from beginning to end!
I’m blown away you never heard of Zac Brown Band. Amazing group. And they are known for singing cover songs at their concerts! This song is amazing. Check them out singing Metallica’s Enter Sandman!
Honestly ZBB the most all around talented band ever. Diversity and variety is unlimited. Thank you for bringing joy to my life ❤ music is my religion ✝️
It’s criminal how underrated Richie Sambora has always been as musician and vocalist. Jon Bon Jovi was mediocre singer but an excellent performer who was propped up by his band as well as his stage presence.
Must admit flicking past this a few times without watching it. It’s good to see Richie playing to a lead singer to be honest. I miss that. Richie is at his best when his job is to play guitar.
The reason Bon Jovi was so GREAT is because of their songwriting and how well they complimented each other on stage. With each piece of the puzzle that leaves, it takes away from the WOW factor that made them GREAT to begin with. This has happened to many bands over the course of history.....which is why the bands that split reunite to create that magical energy we all love. CHEERS
ZBB must have been blown away by Richie’s performance here. I’ve seen many versions of Wanted but think this could be the best. His solo was out of this world and his voice sounds great (IMO the best of the two).
Richie just gets better with age. As a guitarist, as a vocalist, and as one of the hottest men on the planet, he never disappoints. I'll go to my grave loving him.
It's all the same, only the names will change Every day it seems we're wasting away Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Wanted dead or alive Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days The people I meet always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone, well, all you do is think I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive Oh, and I ride Ooh, I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive But I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere, (Oh yeah) still I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all 'Cause I'm a cowboy On a steel horse, I ride I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive And I'm a cowboy I got the night on my side And I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive And I ride (And I ride), dead or alive I still drive (Still drive), dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive
Three half steps down from the original recording... props to Richie for being able to overcome that muscle memory after all those years playing it in a different key!
Richie responds perfectly to each of his lines, he is just made for that. I hope for his soon return to the group. It would be good for Jon, for himself and for all of us.
That was effing amazing! I always loved Richie's voice more than John's. Don't get me wrong I was a big fan way back when but Richie just had that edge for me.
Loving how country and rock and roll are coming together. We all grew up listening to the same great music and as Dolly Parton said there are only two types, of music ,good and bad and this is good 🎸👍😁
I have so much respect for Richie Sambora! As a dedicated Bon Jovi fan since 1984, I, along with many loyal Bon Jovi fans, am nervously but eagerly awaiting a possible Bon Jovi reunion. Richie’s incredible talent, passion and voice was always integral to Bon Jovi, and his performance at the 2018 R&RHOF ceremony gave fans hope that this legendary band can move forward with future performances with the King of Swing. At the same time, he is a brilliant solo artist as well. Thank you for this lovely video featuring my favorite Bon Jovi song! ❤️🎶🎸🤘
Richi sambora is so underrated as a singer he has amazing voice
Sambora MADE Bon Jovi with his guitar work, but even more importantly, his harmony vocals.
He needs to go back and help his mate out!!
Why do people keep saying he’s underrated ? He’s well known for his awesome vocals
Totally Agree
Not really. His voice isn't nearly as good as Zac's.
Memories you nailed this song bon Jovi is smiling
Richie is one of the worlds most underrated guitar greats. The real heart and soul of Bon Jovi
I’ve always said Bon Jovi was nothing without Richie
hes not underrated at all, everyone knows he's great
And great vocals/backing vocals too
His awesome !! .. but his not a singer
Well, Jon is the leader and the band member who was signed to the record contract. The rest of the band - including Sambora - were hired by Jon. He could’ve made it a solo act, but chose to form a group using just his last name. That said, I too prefer Sambora over Bon Jovi in some ways, but I believe Jon is the more talented songwriter.
Sambora just brings it.....all these years
I don’t think people have ever realized what an amazing voice Richie truly has! Loving this so much ♥️
Sambora was bon Jovi.
40 years later Richie still sounds great on the guitar and the mic
dear Dominguez Household - yes he does ! There are a slew of those guys/bands I listened to [ even some from the 70's ha😂ha ] continue to sound astonishing.

Let's keep rock-n-roll 🎸 🎤 🥁 🎻 alive forever ‼‼
Richie MADE Bon Jovi - shame it made him leaving to realise it
Sounds better than Jon these days
And Bon Jovi wants him because they need a singer. Looks like he will be their new, touring guitarist and vocalist lol
He'll be back with JBJ baby
Just when you think the original couldn’t get any better…,.
Richie Sambora we love you, you ROCK
Definitely a privilege for Zack to get to play with a legend.
Other way around
A lead who can actually sing. And always love Richie.
Notice how Bon Jovi ain't Jovi without Ritchie?
Amen to that brother! 100%
Let's pray and believe in miracles 🙏❤️
Yep
Love how Richie brings in the violinist and guitar for their solo - class
Exactly what I thought. 👍🏻 💯
Without Richie, where would John have truly been!? SAMBORA!! ✌️
Amen!
Apparently not!
100%
It is great to see Richie up there.
I bet Jon really misses being with him on stage . . .
Richie sambora has a kick ass voice along with kick ass guitar skills
And he wrote all those bon jovi classics
Love the Zac brown band!! Richie has always been an amazing artist!! Grew up with bon jovi.. one of my favorites of all time! Love Richie !
Richie is in his 60's and still rockin it!
I'm not saying he can't. However, this is an old performance.
@@kg4176-k6o how old
@parisjok5311 this is from 2014
It’s 1989 in my brain right now in 2023 and that melted my face. Thanks
Dang, Richie is so awesome on the guitar!!! You don't see that anymore especially this day and age!
Richie was the heart and soul of Bon Jovi, and he was the real singer. His voice is still beautiful. And he and Zac Brown Band make beautiful music together. ❤❤❤
Always have been and ALWAYS WILL BE Sambora fan. ❤
I truly know, why Richie is my favorite Idol. 🤷🏻♂️
Still love this song. Richie Sambora is still amazing!!! I'm so blessed I was born in 72, I got to grow up listening to the best music ever!!! Including 80's hair bands we ROCKED!!!
I was born the same year and I agree we had some of the best damn music ever!!
Imagine the music todays teens missed out on ? Wow
@@spspcards1If the kids had good HS in ‘80’s parents like my kids- they got exposed to it! 😂 And our 23 & 25 yr old both listen to stadium rock & hair metal.
Sambora is one badass shredder!! Can sing his ass off too. Boys got da soul in him
My only regret is that I have but one thumbs up to give to this performance.
Rather see Sambora sing the whole song ……the man oozes soul
Richie is the BEST ! No wonder his grands were Polish😊 as I am😊 you cant cheat on your gens😊
I absolutely love the way the ZBB invites other artists to join them on stage during their concerts!
Just a big party, the way life was meant to be ❤
Pretty sure this was a huge honor for Zac. Bon Jovi are legends who inspired everybody.
The real reason is there isn't much that the ZBB can't cover and cover well. They are truly an ultimate cover band that hit it with mainstream success of their own.
So glad he's at least in talks to rejoin Bon Jovi. Richie Sambora is a an absolute living legend
Uhmm, that won't happen. He is dissing jon 😂
i could watch this 2,000 times and it still wouldn’t be enough
Sambora always plays & sings with feeling, outstanding!
Richie Sambora can sing. I love this song, and it's definitely one of my Bon Jovi hits. How awesome is it that Zac got to sing with Richie? A memory he will never forget. Awesome performance by two great musicians.
❤❤❤❤😅😅❤😅
Hey Zac can sing too.
He's got a beautiful voice and a great range.
All Genre's of music.
But Richies still got it too.
It just goes to show how many young people still know bon Jovi. Amazing band
I never get tired of seeing / hearing this song played live, particularly when Mr S is at the wheel. Hopefully he never tires of playing it, either. Thx to all, for this fine performance!
I've been to a shit load of concerts...God knows I can't count lol - - but I'll say this seeing Zac Brown is hands down one of the best shows ever!!! What a F----ing show!!!
So nice to see Ritchie still has it.
Good old amazingly talented and super humble Richie Sambora. Without him, Bon Jovi would have had Runaway as their lone hit song and long forgotten by now.
One of the Absolute best versions of this song.
Ritchie for all his greatness as a player
graciously sharing leads with Members of the band.
KiKK Ass RoKKnFnRoLL Richie, you make New Jersey Proud
Absolutely amazing, beautiful, and breathtaking!!! Bon Jovi is just not the same without Richie! But I’ll take him with Zac any day!!! Bring it!
There's no way singing out WANTED and the audience singing it back cant feel amazing. Like man great lyric writing
These two sound great together . I still love Richie’s voice.
Well that was Friggen AWESOME!!!
✌️🤠
Damn that was good, Sambora rocks, and probably the best band in country
Richie is a national treasure
*International
I have ritchie's album stranger in town my fave song The Answer love love that song
The only thing that would make this better would to have been able to see it in person, instead of a video.
Richie was Bon Jovi!!! Jon is a shadow of Richie!!!
Zac Brown is the contemporary American troubadour. Whether with Richie or Jimmy Buffett or anyone between, he's just an amazing musician and vocalist.
I've been a Richie Sambora fan ever since the release of his solo album "Stranger In This Town" back in 1991 which has always been one of my all time favorite albums.. It is so awesome to see him still performing so well after all of these years! If you haven't heard the album yet, please check it out.. It is awesome all the way from beginning to end!
Yes!!! Stranger is a classic - one of my FAVE albums, period! Richie is so underrated!
Супер альбом
Richie Sambora is so great, can sing and play! True legend
Richie killed this one. Never heard of Zac Brown but great work here!
You are missing out if you don’t know Zac Brown Band. Incredible musicians. Their body of work is incredible. Check ‘em out! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
How is that even possible? You need to go down the rabbit hole with ZBB. They're incredible!
The lead guitarist, Clay Cook was John Mayers roommate in college and they were in a band together back then!
Zac Brown Band is horrendous. I throw up in my mouth every time I hear them. Instant skip when they come on the radio.
I’m blown away you never heard of Zac Brown Band. Amazing group. And they are known for singing cover songs at their concerts! This song is amazing. Check them out singing Metallica’s Enter Sandman!
YYYEESS RICHIE!!! YOU SING BETHER THEN JON ON THIS MOMENT!! AND YOU STILL ONE OF THE BEST GITAR PLAYER ON EARTH!!!!❤😊 SEE YOU AGAIN!!!
Richie was Bon Jovi
Ritchie carried the soul of Bon Jovi. So yeah, he pretty much is Bon Jovi. The band should have been called Sambora.
Richie looks and sounds good.
This is from 2014, not recent. I'd love to see and hear a more recent performance from him.
Honestly ZBB the most all around talented band ever. Diversity and variety is unlimited. Thank you for bringing joy to my life ❤ music is my religion ✝️
It’s criminal how underrated Richie Sambora has always been as musician and vocalist. Jon Bon Jovi was mediocre singer but an excellent performer who was propped up by his band as well as his stage presence.
This is 110% correct
I love Jon’s voice but have to agree! He’s a fantastic front man. Richie has an amazing voice but not the charisma of a front man.
Jon’s voice is shot to hell now and he can’t sing. See 2022 month long tour
Lmao Jon a mediocre singer. You’re delusional 😂😂😂
I love the Richie points to the violin player to do a Solo
Amazing!!! Love you Richie❤
Zac Brown does covers better than any other band currently in the music industry. Change my mind
Bloddy brilliant! Timeless track
Love how Ritchie knows he can't hit the notes anymore, swaps out his normal high notes with a younger guy and keeps the soul of the song.
Man that fucking guy can play.... one of the best guitarists to come out of the 80's scene for sure
❤awezome talented guyz
God Bless ❤
Absolutely stupendous
WOW
Must admit flicking past this a few times without watching it. It’s good to see Richie playing to a lead singer to be honest. I miss that. Richie is at his best when his job is to play guitar.
Opinions are awesome .. GOD bless America but they are just like ASSHHOLES. Everyone has one
Richie wrote the Song and Sings it Great.
Gotta be honest i love Richies voice wayyy more than jons
Agreed
The reason Bon Jovi was so GREAT is because of their songwriting and how well they complimented each other on stage. With each piece of the puzzle that leaves, it takes away from the WOW factor that made them GREAT to begin with. This has happened to many bands over the course of history.....which is why the bands that split reunite to create that magical energy we all love.
CHEERS
Damn straight, shit fire! Whole lot of talent on that stage!!
ZBB must have been blown away by Richie’s performance here. I’ve seen many versions of Wanted but think this could be the best. His solo was out of this world and his voice sounds great (IMO the best of the two).
Richie just gets better with age. As a guitarist, as a vocalist, and as one of the hottest men on the planet, he never disappoints. I'll go to my grave loving him.
Freakin' blow your socks off freakin amazing... omgoodness
It's all the same, only the names will change
Every day it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone, well, all you do is think
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
Oh, and I ride
Ooh, I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
But I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, (Oh yeah) still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
'Cause I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse, I ride
I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
And I'm a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
And I ride (And I ride), dead or alive
I still drive (Still drive), dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Amoo essa canção....amooo Richie para sempre no meu coração ❤️❤😍💕🇧🇷🫰💞💞
Three half steps down from the original recording... props to Richie for being able to overcome that muscle memory after all those years playing it in a different key!
Good job on this video. Like it very much
A great combination of singers
Wow, mr. Blues Sambora fully technical bluesy the way his singing 🤟🏿
Absolutely amazing
Richie responds perfectly to each of his lines, he is just made for that. I hope for his soon return to the group. It would be good for Jon, for himself and for all of us.
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! Richie is the BEST!🥰🤩Zac Brown Band rocked it with Richie! It's great to see RS back out playing. He still GOT IT!
Blessed Gypsy Richie's been playing and singing, started with Orianthi after he left Bon Jovi, and eventually they split but he was still performing.
My hubby, does this one, trick. On the guitar, Soo good! ❤
One of the best songs ever written in my book, so atmospheric and cinematic. Kudos!
Sounds unbelievably awesome! YAY! Richie! On the stage where you belong
Sounds awesome. Look even better. Both of them! ❤
That was effing amazing! I always loved Richie's voice more than John's. Don't get me wrong I was a big fan way back when but Richie just had that edge for me.
Wow. Just wow
Richie was always my favorite!!!
Dude on the violin crushed it, interesting playing and sound👌
Got back in the band Ritch, we need you man ... please.
Loving how country and rock and roll are coming together. We all grew up listening to the same great music and as Dolly Parton said there are only two types, of music ,good and bad and this is good 🎸👍😁
And Richie made his D modal riff work after the song was rekeyed for Zac's voice. Nicely done.
Love the vocals on this version. Sambora was a favorite during his time with Bon Jovi. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, just stunning.,. Wow!
Thanks never knew this existed
Damn Ritchie is badass!!! He sure did rock them all
🥰 awww great rendition of Wanted Dead or Alive Good Job
Richie, I loooooove you❤
Fabulous job ZBB & Richie!
2 Words. BAD ASS !!
Still one of the best performances from any CMA fest
I have so much respect for Richie Sambora! As a dedicated Bon Jovi fan since 1984, I, along with many loyal Bon Jovi fans, am nervously but eagerly awaiting a possible Bon Jovi reunion.
