do you think Richie (or any other musician for that matter) ever comes onto youtube and reads people's comments on fan shot videos such as these? i hope they do...
He's style of singing, is bluesy and soulful, just like the way he plays. You can't compare him with Jon. 2 different styles, but they complement each other..Mr. Sambo, The King of Swing, the master of feel and soul. Richie!
@jasonism123 he got his voice from listening to people like Otis Redding, and Solomon Burke. As for guitar playing. He listened to blues, The Beatles, Hendricks, Page, Cream, the Stones and others.
Gotta be said, Richie has a bloody amazing voice! as for comparisons between himself and JBJ, it's horses for courses, really, they compliment each other brilliantly. ANOTHER SOLO RECORD WOULD BE NICE, THOUGH, MR. SAMBORA!!!!!!
this is after thousands of dollars of voice lesson dude you could be a great singer if you work at it... good thing about blues is basicly everyone can sing it... add voice lesson classes they work wonders
whereas I sometimes ask myself how I could like the music of some bands in the past, it is still obvious to me why Richie Sambora made me start playing the guitar and become a musician.
there was supposed to be a movie where sambora plays as "SRV"...it's the life story of SRV...i just wonder why sambora don't make a solo album like an instrumental one....like satriani and vai...
You said it! I see ALOT of SRV in him. But you know, Richie is a very underated guitarist. He is one of the best out there and I tell you, he has way more soul than many too. Always a great vocalist too. I always thought he had a better voice than Jon, (not that Jon has a bad voice, he has a great one) but that's just my opinion.
You are so right...Ive had this conversation before with some other people and I think that the reason why he may be so underrated is because he is in BonJovi. Not everyone takes his music seriously and that's where Richie unfortunately gets lost in that mess. If those same people could only hear his solo work, then I'm almost certain they would think differently...
I know Bon Jovi ever since I was a child. But one day when I was 14 years old (back in 1994) I got my hands on a live show. They played a song (Drift Away) and at a point Jon lets Richie sing. I was completely amazed. This guy is way better than Jon. I'm not saying that Jon is not good but he can't compete with this man. After many years I got his solo work and I like him even more. He's also a great guitar player. He's the real talent in Bon Jovi band. Richie rulez !
Holy shit - I have a live version of "Drift Away" on my mp3 player cause i love it so much! That part when he sings the second verse right? Absolutely mesmerizing...he sounds more like a special guest than someone actually in the band! lol
Gosh I am still crying..... he is sooo happy that everyone screams. I remember years ago, people were sitting down during this song.... shame on them!!!!
TAN HERMOSO!!!!!!!!!!!! y con su TALENTO INCONFUNDIBLE!!!!!
