I mean - all I can say is that I LOVE this clip. Jon ist good but Richie is AMAZING!!!! That voice...he makes it look sooo easy. And together they sound great. Love ´em. Still. Ever I ´ve been 15 or so...which is a good while ago. Quality endures. :)
Richie is indeed very underrated guitarist but people do still recognize him as a very good guitarist. He probably doesn't get as much attention as he deserves because he doesn't do all these fancy tapping/sweep/divebomb/shred stuff but that what he does he does extremely well and his solos are among the best there is. And he is one hell of a singer too.
@squashiesmum It's on the recently released Special Edition of "Slippery When Wet". You can buy it on iTunes or something like that. It's a live acoustic performance like this, but it might actually be better than this one.
@mistermontage85 i completelyyy agree. i honestly think sambora is more talented. he can play a mandolin and shredddd on guitar and has an amazing voice
Richie has a technically better voice- Jon's is more distinct, recognisable. They are both utter legends. Feel so lucky to be able to see this. AMAZING.
OHH MY GOOOD!!! Richie sings the second verse...*-*!!! I'm dying for emotion!! He's my sweet american dream!! I love him so much!! *-* "All that really matters" to me, The King Of Swing!!! I luv u, Ri!!! ♥
My acoustic version of Bon Jovi Wanted Dead or Alive with a didgereedoo (from X Factor guy who did the aborginal noises in Dallas show) backing me in a show in Ausitn, Texas last week. Check it out if you have some time .. TTT. singer songwriter musician actress UT student and Bon Jovi fan,
@torytompkins Check it out how? I'm much more proficient at appreciating rock than I am at navigating with computers. This song, for instance should 9 million hits. What's up with peoples' ears? Or is it their musical taste? Anyway, I'd like to hear your version.
I wish people would stop comparing Jon and Richie. They both have different qualities to their voice but both good all the same...Jon and Richie, Richie and Jon, which ever way you look at it - TOGETHER - they are BON JOVI!!
One voice is not better than the other, because each voice is different. It's when these voices come together that matters. They have perfect harmony. It gives me chill bumps. Bon Jovi Forever!
@AussieEuro ..You know you have a point and It sounds to me like he is modded through a flanger of some sort and it needed to be drooped a mic or two..those Adamas Ovations usually have a much fuller tone for sure... You see him try to adjust a couple of times on his pre-amp to no avail. Still Richie was on his game for sure here..;-)
there was an interview i saw where richie was saying that when they started richie was the lead singer and both he and jon played guitar but the label thought that he was the better guitarist so they swapped over.
@j66hng Richie had two solo albums; "Stranger in This Town" in 1991 and "Undiscovered Soul" in 1998. Songs from both are here on YouTube. His solo style is very blues-influenced; much different than Bon Jovi stuff. Check out "Mr. Bluesman" and "Father Time" for some great powerhouse vocals from Richie!
Jon sounds terrible as he usually does LIVE! Ritchie blows Jon away in every aspect of music. I don't care how many 13 year old's bought the albums, because i was one of them.
Jon has a very unique voice, if you listen to them both, without being told who they are, you'll recognise Jon's but Richie just sounds like a common rock star.
Both men are different singers, for Wanted Dead or Alive, Richie's voice is good for it, and Jon's old voice was amazing for it. Now, Jon has a higher voice, and singing his newer songs, is a perfect match Richie wouldn't sound as good at.
maybe richie is a better singer than jon. but i´m sure the band would never have been so succesfull if he would be the lead singer. jon´s voice is simply so unique and special. you can always recognize him by the time he hits the first note. love both of them!

you got to remember that jon's voice was nicely destroyed after some years in the 90's.
they needed to do many shows, so jon had to use exteroids so his voice could keep up... and that made him such an worse singer, but still amazing.
