i Love Jon but Richies voice defines Bon Jovi and he and Jon together make it and there both great singers talented and hot but i love them for their voices
His voice is so beautiful. *.* I can't say that he has a better voice than Jon, but I also can't say that Jon has a better voice than him. They both have extremely different voices. But I can say that when they sing together, it's better than them alone. :D
Richie is really handsome if he wears clothes like this. I wish the bands now would have hairstyle, stance and face like his. And also voice. Most artists' voices now are with NO quality. Honestly. But with Richie and Bon Jovi band, what more could you ask for? They have all. You want handsome, it's there. Tall, also there. Great voice, again, it's there, REAL musicians, it's them. composers, again, them. AND MANY MORE...
Richie~ you're the most handsome man for me and sorry for saying this.
truth is richie or dave are better musicians than jon...but somehow he's a frontman, he's hot, also has a voice and songwriting talent. i'm glad they all happened to be in one band, my fav :)
Got to say guys, the band are superb together, as for solo projects, richie has the edge, lets not forget vocals live, richie rocks, jon and richie together musically are Americas answer to lennon and mcartney. . . . . . . . cant wait to see there magic live tomorow at Manchester, this will be my 15th gig of theres and they just get better
Man, it's almost the whole band! Where's Jonny?! LOL! Seriously, Richie's voice has so much soul~very pretty voice. He has great control and tone. The reason why Richie is not a Lead Singer is because he doesn't have that special quality like Jon. Jon gets people moving, singing, clapping, dancing~Richie is just more of a musician and not a crowd leader. I absolutely love Bon Jovi and have been loving them for the past twenty seven years. They are perfect just the way they are!
@serpephone It's not the whole band. It was Richie's debut album solo. There's no Jon in it. Besides Riche always say that he does not want to be the leader singer. In spite of all his talent to sing and play the guitars.
I am a huge fan of Richie Sambora since 1990 and in my opinion he has all qualities even the special one to be a leader singer of any band in the world.
i definetely agree, but i cannot ignore all the rest, david is one of the best keyboard players around, tico one of the best drummers, jon well, u know... the only problem i hugh mc donald, even though he always composed for bon jovi, even when alec was in the band, alec was just a show man, actually hugh is really a big piece of shit on stage...
don't you think he's even more?! i mean he writes composes, and his voice " with all respect to John bon jovi fans" is 1000 times better than john, and he's the main guitarist of the band... so what is Bon Jovi with no richie??
it really doesn't matter who is better then who. I love their music whether they are in Bon Jovi or apart. All of them are very good. It's not who's better. They have said themselves they are eachother's back bone. But, everyone has their own opinions and there is nothing with that at all....I'm just saying mine.
more, but he actually sings in lower key live. Try hitting a C5 in chest with rough vocals. That being said, Richie is probably a naturally better singer than Jon - that's obvious. With vocal training he probably could've matched or done more vocally than Jon HOWEVER, he's never attempted to. Now, although Richie is a naturally better singer, his voice isn't "lead singer" quality...he's just a good singer, not a lead singer. You don't have to be good to be a lead singer, it takes more than that
And by lead singer I mean running a band is a business, and a band is equivalent to a brand. Building a brand around a lead singer, takes more than someone who can sing. I don't think you can build a brand name around a voice like Richie's...it's too normal...
Nah - I disagree with everyone who has been saying that Richie has a higher range...in terms of what has been achieved on record and live, Jon has done far greater things with his vocals and has, for the record, a higher range - both with lowest note and highest. He's also got smoother sounding vibrato and has held longer notes (up to 13s).
Keep in mind, that on record - Jon has sung in higher keys BUT he has done it with really rough sounding vocals. Generally, people like his live vocals
true, i have to agree with you that "He's also got smoother sounding vibrato and has held longer notes (up to 13)". But what I like about Richie is especially better control of his dynamics and smooth alteration from high to low tune. BUT, on the other hand, few people can match Jon's "Santa Fe", "Bed of roses" or, for that instance "Let's make it baby".
Overall, no point in arguing, BJ is a simply a very good band ;-))
Whos better Richie or Jon well there is two types of people thoes who say richie is better and thoes how want there lips on Jons cock.........Richie is king in my book
Jon's cock? I don't think so, I love Bon Jovi favorite band all time, But come on let's admit it, Richie Sambora would be nothing without Jon and Vise-Versa. (NOW, all due respect to this album, I own it and listen to it frequently). Look at this album it didn't go far at all, Which is why he didn't make another one, Didn't have big hits on it, that made him a "Band" if you will. With the Duo of Jon and Richie it is a un-explainable talent, that I can't even put into words............
Richie has Stronger voice than Jon. But definitely Jon is much better singer and musican that Richie. /Jon write better lyrics than Richie and he can sing in many ways. Richie voice is more blues than rock. I like Richie voice but JOn's voice is best.... (for me)
come on! i admit that Jons vocals are more up there, but Richie is by far a better musican! he can play almost anything with strings! like watch them live, jon always looks at his guitar to see if he is in the right position1 Richie rarely does that!
You think Richie can only sing blues cause his two solo albums have been bluesy records, by his choice. Richie has always had a higher range than Jon and better control of his vocal dynamics, Jon sings everything the same way pretty much. And like it's been said, Jon is nowhere near the guitarist Richie is. Richie is generally a more poetic/mood-driven lyricist while Jon is more to the point, who's "better" is a matter of preference. I think Richie's solo stuff kicks Destination Anywhere's ass.
I assume you're a BJ fan just like myself, I absolutely adore everything they did up to year 2000, but let's face it Richie's a MUCH better singer, he's voice is higher octave and higher range than Jon's. He's better control of his dynamics. Much more sophisticated tunes. Smooth alteration from high to low tune. You don't have to be an expert to notice that! However I do love the entire band, but be objective. "Stranger in this town" is one of the best records in music history. gtreetings ;-)
Keep in mind Jon did start to smoke in the 90's. Which I think played a big part in the Voice change.
Yep "Stranger in this town" was a great album to me and you, but not to everyone else, It didn't go to to far.....Which is why he didn't make another one.
man you're missing the point there...when you have a band of five people that sing just as good or even better than a lead singer but they're so great musicians to step back n let the man who can raise 100.000 people n their hands high do his what he does best n lead the band Bon Jovi...N that's why Bon Jovi as a band lasts all these years n will last forever..5 great solo musicians working for the music, for the song, n for the band!!! BON JOVI RULES..Richie is my personal guitar God.
look1 im a real big Richie fan! like ive got his solo albums, his latest signiture guitar, and his winged guitar tattoo for christ sakes. but hes not a better vocalist than jon1 hes great, but they are also very differnt singers!
i Love Jon but Richies voice defines Bon Jovi and he and Jon together make it and there both great singers talented and hot but i love them for their voices

Richie's voice is sweet and it's for love songs. Jon's voice is for rock and metal.
I like both of them but Jon really fits to be the lead singer especially with the type of their songs that they compose.
I still wish to see Richie Sambora. He gets the best part of my heart.
