You nailed it.. without his harmony.. Bon Jovi would not have risen where they did... Richie is the backbone of what made them so big..Clearly a better singer the Jon
a good friend of mine was their first sound guy, did sound for them in those days, he's also a bass player. John wanted him in the band, but at the time he refused to wear spandex or use hair spray..lol. True story. I also used to work with John in a mall in Woodbridge NJ, but that was SO long ago!
I knew that.l saw it in that guitar work.And the dude sings good.For many years he was packed in the back.Now i sit back to relish the skills and voice.
most of the tunes were largely influenced by Richie. I think he left the band once they lost their raw heavy rock sound; when they became too commercial. The reason given for his departure was the pressure of touring and missing raising his young daughter, (all true, BUT), the other reason was that Bon Jovi was becoming too commercial and appealing to a wider audience versus sticking to their early legendary roots.
Was never a bon Jovi fan,,Hendrix,,cream,,purple and sabbath were more my bag but my god this rocks..I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video..
Richie (i doubt you see this?) But you are a fuckin GEM!! I'll never forget backstage on the 'Lost Higway' toir....Jon was being a COMPLETE LOSER and you came and talked with us security guards...just for shits.....LOVE your artistry....Jon is a DOUCHE!!!
I haven't seen this brilliant footage before I ve only been to Donnington once , to see AC/DC in 1981 ,lost all my mates and ended up sleeping at a farm!!🎼🎸🏴🏴🤩😁🤭❤️🎧
2006 I went to see Bon Jovi in Coventry with my girlfriend of the time, and Richie sang I'll Be There For You, she decided then and there that Richie should have been their full time singer! It did sound good, the deeper voice brought something to it, though in Jon's defence he was suffering from hayfever that day.
Richie and Orianthi, a pair that will beat any hand. You both make it look so easy. One Handsome and super taleted and the other Gorgeuos and super talented. What an amazing duo💪. Richie, Mr. Sambora, your voice sounds so good 👍and hers as well. And i believe there's a lot still left in the tank !!! Not many musicians are gifted with both instrument and voice, but you two definitely were. And if you count brains and looks, that makes 4 !!! It's almost like Orianthi is the cherry on top !!! I actually run out of adjectives to describe you both. All i can say is Rock On !!! 💪 🎸💘✌!!!!!!!
His solo album Stranger in this Town.. is dam epic... So many good songs.m Rosie, Father Time, One Light Burning,, man what a voice!!!! .Clearly the backbone of JBJ...
Why do people want to try and pit people against each other? They don’t have bad feelings for each other. It was the entire band, that made the band. Everyone had their part.None of them were as big separately, as they were together. Enjoy the memories.
This is the one of my favorite song Of Bon Jovi..and I like so much when Richy Sambora plays the guitar..his skill in playing melody guitar is amazing..and I also like the color of their music.
Freaking awesome Bon Joni right there! Sure the other guy was good bloody good actually and even tho I'm 70 years old I'm still a huge fan and I don't care that folks still take the piss out of me for being a monstrous Bon Joni fan to them I say suck it long live rock n roll ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🕊🕊🕊🕊but Richie sambora is for me in a class of his own his vocals, his guitar playing skills freak me out every time I hear him just bloody marvellous ❤️👏👏👏👏👏
That's Richie's groove. Even Phil X cannot and will never fill the vacant spot Richie left when he vacated BON JOVI THE BAND.... BON JOVI sound has never been the same without Richie... 💪👍👍💯💯
It is very evident now how much of the high end of the “BonJovi Sound” he carried. He always added just enough to make the difference without taking over.
Bon Jovi lost his sound, soul, and voice because his ego pushed & pushed until Richie said, Have the limelight all to yourself! Not saying Richie didn't have issues... Jon does also! Like fuqing the lead singer in Sugarland. I know people in Nashville & that music scene
I like how Bon Jovi is “nothing without Sambora” yet the new album made it to top 5 of the billboard album chart lol How has Samboras latest album do? Lol
@@Animals_And_Nature_Lovers well, i don't like saying "jon is nothing without richie" but latest Sambora's album is "aftermath of lowdown" and it's a MASTERPIECE. If latest Bon Jovi album are doing good it's because they are targed "bon jovi'. I lile them ,but they are not masterpiecee at all
damn right sambora is the real deal,always dance with the one you arrived with,bon jovi is not complete without richie,and his vocals is equal to jons,imo
@@TheJohnypie Agreed. But typically lead singers vocals burn out quicker than backup vocalists ( especially American rock which has that unique growl in the voice )
BON JOVI no hubiera sido sin Alec, David, Richie, Tico y Jon. Todos pusieron su talento y el líder supo mantener el engranaje funcionando. Pero nada es para siempre lamentablemente.
Right on man. Sambora is the Man love his Taylor double neck. So much soul to his voice. Visser. I saw 2 twins in a bar in Grand rapids Michigan named Visser Bros. Is that you ? Did a kick ass version of Dead or alive singer had a double neck Ovation?
@@VisserBros10 wow cool you guys rocked that night. Some really crappy band went on before you guys loud no structure to there songs. You guys really know how to write a great pop rock song.
Looking forward for the REPLAY event fans, those who were out there in the audience come back plizzzzzz, let's sing along some more good old songs of a kind
It's all the same, only the names will change Every day, it seems we're wastin' 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 Yeah Oh, I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive And 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, 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 'Cause 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 (I still drive), dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive
Never understood why Bon Jovi in concert didn't let Ritchie stretch out and jam a little more on some of their songs. At least he didn't the 2 times I saw them. This version was excellent!

Do love this guy. A guy, his voice and a guitar. His harmonies made Bon Jovi. That duo was one of the best. Separate, I'm going with Sambora.
You nailed it.. without his harmony.. Bon Jovi would not have risen where they did... Richie is the backbone of what made them so big..Clearly a better singer the Jon
This performance is pretty convincing, isn't it?
The talent in Bon Jovi.Saw him live with them on 12 occasions,right from the start when BJ supported Kiss on their UK tour 84 or 85.
They both needed each other…
Better together…it doesn’t have to be pick one when u can choose both
@@OR2007
M.j jo 8 I'm mlm
BJ was a band with 2 fully amazing singers.
He's had a great voice his whole life. Watched him play and sing when he was playing in bar bands in Jersey in the late seventies.
a good friend of mine was their first sound guy, did sound for them in those days, he's also a bass player. John wanted him in the band, but at the time he refused to wear spandex or use hair spray..lol. True story. I also used to work with John in a mall in Woodbridge NJ, but that was SO long ago!
@@krazyguy6002 thanks for sharing the memories. good ones
Richie Sambora is the soul of Bon Jovi.
Nah, that title belongs to Tico Torres.
Richie just finished his solo album
I never realized how much of the Bon Jovi sound, was because of Richie's playing and vocals! Wow!
I knew that.l saw it in that guitar work.And the dude sings good.For many years he was packed in the back.Now i sit back to relish the skills and voice.

th-cam.com/video/l37HlZAAe-Y/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely. It took both of them to do it as we know the band. Credit to all of them. Richie is a bad ass though!!
He made John Bonneville famous, and vice versa
He seems to have the best personality of anyone I've ever seen in music, I've loved the solo stuff he's put out!!!
Most underrated guitarist of all time
Richie just finished his solo album
200 pc his livd version of this sounds even better than studio xxx.
Not many guitarists cN do that
Is it me,,or does that Strat sound amazing!!! Richie still killin it!!!
Thats because it doesn't sound like a strat, it is "hot rodded"
@@gfgranja No because richie plays it he han play like this on a 99$ squier strat.
Looks like a contemporary Strat from the mid 80’s with the locking trem
Richie just finished his solo album
Guys like Richie could make a Wal Mart guitar sound good
This was bad ass. Now this man is one of the greats!!!
Was never a bon Jovi fan,,Hendrix,,cream,,purple and sabbath were more my bag but my god this rocks..I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video..
Great to see the younger crowd rocking with him .
Sambora was the real spirit of Bon Jovi. If you're not convinced after watching this, you're beyond helping :)
He was most Def i agree
He has a fantastic voice and one of the most underrated lead guitarists, I have a couple of his solo albums and they are superb.
Never realized what a good voice he has
knew it from 1995
I think by the sound of it he was the power behind Jon's voice TBH.
Did not realize either until I heard his solo album, his lead vocals on Father Time for example.
Me2
Check his solo material, especially the first album (Stranger In This Town), it's fantastic. He's an amazing vocalist.
Richie (i doubt you see this?) But you are a fuckin GEM!! I'll never forget backstage on the 'Lost Higway' toir....Jon was being a COMPLETE LOSER and you came and talked with us security guards...just for shits.....LOVE your artistry....Jon is a DOUCHE!!!

GOTDAMN! The guitar duet was freaking insane!

The sound and tone of his strat when he switches. Unreal!
This guitar solo is so fucking amazing!!!
Wow!!! I remember seeing him perform with Bon Jovi at Donington back in 87 and even then,you could see he was head and shoulders above Jon.
Liked Bon jovi in the early days but jesus never realised how gifted Richie was
2006 I went to see Bon Jovi in Coventry with my girlfriend of the time, and Richie sang I'll Be There For You, she decided then and there that Richie should have been their full time singer! It did sound good, the deeper voice brought something to it, though in Jon's defence he was suffering from hayfever that day.
He never got enough credit. Love Jon Bon Jovi Richie is so his equal. Miss them together.
Richie the man !!!!!!

Shivers through the whole body at "It's all the same..."! Great to see Richie playing the Strat again!
Wow. Richie is absolutely amazing and outstanding ever😀👍👍👍👌🌟
Hello there would you love to chat with richie sambora privately?
Just worked on that riff today. Just an awesome American Song.

I Love Richie Best Guitar Amazing In The 2 Concerts That I Went Too🎉 Andee Kennedy from Alabama
Hello Andrea
How are you doing?
It's nice meeting you here!
Richie Sambora is one awesome guitar player
There's the lovely 12 string sound that i love.
This is vocally the best live version of the song i've heard. Love it
That he sings solo, maybe, but not when he’s backing up Bon Jovi.
The guitar solo sounds killer, though.
What I like about Richie is his Compassion for good music and Good taste that’s what I think of when I think of Richie and bonjovi So cool
My favorite remains Richie and Jon acoustic duo at the 1989 VMAs
Richie just finished his solo album
Richie always had a voice! His guitar playing ain't bad either 🤘. Thanks for the memories brother!
One of the very few songs I can play but love it every time I do.
I love this version a billion times better!
A masterpiece
Everybody on this Planet knows Bon Jovi Is not the same without Sambora ...
Insane..what a talent, and I thought he was just a guitar player....fool am I
Why do people want to try and pit people against each other? They don’t have bad feelings for each other. It was the entire band, that made the band. Everyone had their part.None of them were as big separately, as they were together. Enjoy the memories.
That solo is only can be played by him..no one can do it like him
3 chord trick
@@beachdetectingireland3984 The Drummer is a vocal genius and thank you, t
Adrian smith?
You say that having watched Orianthi do it better?
Yes, like him 25 years ago... this solo is poor and "tired"... yak :/
Outstanding talent but one of the most underrated musicians on the planet.
I agree, he really is a great guitarist and that voice is awesome.
Andy G - Most of the musicians are underrated... The other ones are overrated...
Underrated? Dude's a legend in any book...
@pit2ryan3 Totally agree! I never thought of Richie as underrated, absolutely one of of the best guitar players/performer's alive!
Richie just finished his solo album
Such an Underrated Guitar Player and singer.
The God Of Guitar Richie
Two of the greatest on the guitar!!
Absolutely brilliant.
I always wanted to be Richie's drummer. I love his music!!!
This is the one of my favorite song Of Bon Jovi..and I like so much when Richy Sambora plays the guitar..his skill in playing melody guitar is amazing..and I also like the color of their music.
Richie’s a beast

He's really a superb musician and that solo is his signature solo only he should play. For me the best Bon Jovi song!
It just sounds natural….great fckn feeling

Forever one of the best musicians on the ground....

That's Richie's groove. Even Phil X cannot and will never fill the vacant spot Richie left when he vacated BON JOVI THE BAND.... BON JOVI sound has never been the same without Richie... 💪👍👍💯💯
Totally agree. Phil tired and failed to fill Rik Emmett’s shoes after he left Triumph too.
You are the man. Still tearing it up.
YOU WERE BON JOVI
Oh Richie , how I LOVE YOU! I wish you the best, I understand why you wanted to leave Bon Jovi but damn we miss you , you R your own BOSS
Without a Doubt RS is a star in his OWN RIGHT. I can only imagine how many song credits he had to Bon Jovi....
Always thought he was so underrated. Amazing talent.
It is very evident now how much of the high end of the “BonJovi Sound” he carried. He always added just enough to make the difference without taking over.

Sambora forever!
Amazing ....no words to describe this performance from Richie Sambora and miss Orianthi...its so cool...
Have never been a fan of Bon Jovi but I have always had respect for Sambora. This was excellent.
Sambora can live without Jon but Jon while being the bigger star, is nothing without Sambora.
That’s so stupid lol
Bon Jovi lost his sound, soul, and voice because his ego pushed & pushed until Richie said,
Have the limelight all to yourself!

yes
I believe he does it much better than Jon
A very underrated singer
Not to anyone with ears
Amazing guitarist, great singer .
He and Jon need to team up again.
Bon Jovi had the heart and soul ......the soul is missing .
He's a better singer thsn Jon now his voice is a mess

Agreed.
But typically lead singers vocals burn out quicker than backup vocalists ( especially American rock which has that unique growl in the voice )

Never understood why Bon Jovi in concert didn't let Ritchie stretch out and jam a little more on some of their songs. At least he didn't the 2 times I saw them. This version was excellent!
Simple, because John is an ego maniac and didn’t want Ritchie to show him up.
Complete ego bottom line
No le permitieron decir a Sambora que escribió las canciones, tenía que parecer que Bon Jovi las había escrito. La mente brillante detrás de la banda siempre fue Sambora.
