In a stunning display of misjudgement somewhat laughingly reminiscint of the David St Hubbins dismissal of founding member Nigel Tufnel ("we'll I'm sure I would if I wasn't under such heavy sedation"), Jon Bon Jovi, these days inseparable from his gargantuan ego, has dismissed the current departure of Ritchie Sambora on their current ' Because we CAN'T" tour as a mere blip with the comment "it's not as if it's like U2 losingThe Edge and someone can't just step in".

Quite appalling after more than 30 year's service and the departure of a band member who co-wrote most of the material during the halcyon days when they weren't a pop band, is responsible for their signature sound and also offers powerful backing vocals.

JBJ has lost the plot. Fair play to Ritchie though. His response was simply three words: " hire the Edge"!

That was a very good response by Ritchie...:heheh:

I don't think the Edge would last more than one set with Bon Jovi, not if the stories are true about how he treats his bandmates.
