Richie Sambora: The Early Years 1985

[rpwVideoInstruction]

I don't know what's tighter...his playing or his spandex. Great guitarist.

[DIMITRAAAx]

I love his facial expressions during solos <3_<3

[MrDeffmonkey]

sounds like gary moore....very nice....

[MsBlueoyster]

Hi, anyone know what model of guitar and 'what kind Gibson Les Paul? Thanks! :)

[MrDeffmonkey]

@MsBlueoyster

custom made for him with kahler tremolo...

[BeliRichieSambora]

Richie sos el mejor

[regulators88]

Damn, Richie was and still is one sexy man!

I don't care if he is turning 52 in July this year!

[icantstopchewinggum]

@regulators88 please dont say that. I like to believe he's still 25 cuz otherwise it seems so wrong that i think hes super hot LOL :) dont be old richie

[regulators88]

@icantstopchewinggum I know what you mean. I feel like I should be grossed out by being attracted to someone as old as he is!

I pretend that he is still in his twenties too!

[icantstopchewinggum]

@regulators88 lol :) at least its not just me

[regulators88]

@icantstopchewinggum I agree to that!

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Bon Jovi were damn great! During 80's they were pretty great group but it wasn't until early 90's when their talent truly started shining. Keep the Faith was a masterpiece-album! These Days was great too, really great lyrical content there.

Sadly nowadays the band are nothing like they once were.

[ron20106]

RICHIE IS GREAT BUT I THINK ACE FREHLEY IS A BETTER GUITARIST

[seaba89]

@ron20106 I think Richie is a wayyy better guitarplayer than Ace!! just listen to Dry County! Ace has cool solos too, very melodic, but Richie is technically much much better than Ace ever was!

but still I love the only true Spaceman!!

[elisesambora]

RICHIE SAMBORA ,THE GREATEST GUITARIST ON EARTH!

[01po01po]

Summer of 1984 a little known band ratt opened for billy squier. The next year a little known band called bonjovi opened for ratt. it was an outdoor theatre. still daytime, so no light show or any special affects. a few people in the seats. more comming in for the main band Ratt. I wish I would of taken pictures. I was like 5th row back. I think bonjovi's hit then was "in & out of love".The next year a little known band called poison(1st tour) opened for ratt.Pretty cool huh!Those were the days!

[killer16131415]

what concert was it??

[paion]

Tokyo dome

[s4mbor4]

1:42 looks like michaelangelo batio..richie is the best!

[Multi1417]

RICHIE!!! Only the best!!! Incredible!!!

[BretBonRose]

Raise your hands at the start and then Get ready.... what a twinger...

[mesembe]

love that red guitar at the end

[jacobdallen]

It's a Hamer.

[littlegoobie]

I think the original might have been an ibanez destroyer. not sure which exact guitar in this video.  ..saw this comment after the video was done.

[mesembe]

love this sorta stuff, u had the early things, u had the proper ones like livin on a prayer, u had gr8 live shows such as these days in wembley but now theres hardly n e fin, 2 prove, i have 2 say they arnt good these days

[WINFIELD120]

after new jersey they changed their sound and lost their die hard fans

[jacobdallen]

They changed their sound because Jon nearly fucked his vocals beyond recognition. Their fans remained the same.

[JDAISBACK]

They're the exact same...Just Older and at a half-pitch down live. They're still very powerful and very cute.

[RadSucur]

dry county at the start

[jacobdallen]

That was "Burning for Love". It sounds that way, though...a little bit more metallish, though.

[mghary1992]

Dry County?! That song is on the Keep The Faith album which was released in 1992 not in 1985! At that time the band had only two albums: "Bon Jovi" and "7800° Fahrenheit"! Okay, it's similar to Dry County's solo but let's just say that's "Burning For Love", alright?

[bon193jovi]

hahahah, the best.BON JOVI FOREVER,..

[supersimon31]

I agree, 'Only Lonely' is classic early stuff! I wish they'd play these tracks live as well as 'Edge of a broken heart!' Glory days, not as good now unfortunately, different but not as good! They were raw then had points to prove!

[misstree75]

hahaha!! I was 10 years old :-D MEMORIES!

[richierocks]

i was... minus 6 XD, i love his early 80s style and sound

SAMBORA IS GOD!

[mesembe]

shame all there songs now adays arnt as good as the ones in the 80s such as livin on a prayer you give love a bad name, runaway, e.t.c

[julz1993]

love 'only lonley'

[julz1993]

fucking love richie man. 1 of my top idols!!

wish i wuz livin in the 80s now =p

[richierocks]

am i the only thinking that "Get Ready" is an awesome song? I could even say it's the best song on this album.

[connorh3644]

its an wesum song av gotta agree with ye ther

the intro sets evrythin off nice n well

[DevilsSon86]

nice description. I would say that JBJ was equally hungry those days and an absolutely amazing frontman. However, overall, Richie Sambora is the reason for which Bon Jovi stood out from all those hair metallers.

[codyjosephcopeland]

Which song is the last solo from? I love the red kramer. (if i'm not wrong)

[caperBJ4evr]

The last solo is from the song Only Lonely (It says at the end), one of the many Bon Jovi songs from 7800 Fahrenheit that I wish they'd decide to preform live again for us :)

[Sambora059]

Great vid!! (: VV agreed.

[bambangpamungkas]

most underrated guitarist

[PEPESONETO]

de donde sacaste esso

es un dvd ¿¿

[JustOlder007]

awsome!!!!!!!!!!thats all i can say! Richie is Master of disastire

[mosakmir1]

Richie Sambora is the best in the Word

[LilySambora]

Thank you.... Richie is the best!

[shadowpt]

"Sad to say their just a shadow of their former selves." - Sad to say that I have to agree... Still they have good music, it's just not Rock anymore...

[dabingrou]

I always miss Richie's younger days of solos!

[bib1956]

Well other than disagreeing with Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora 'being a shadow of their former selves' I think this is great, and Richie will always be the greatest, IMO.

[BJrobin86]

It's rare stuff! Thanks a lot!

[blackrockingpirate]

wow!!! he will always be the greatest!!!
