When We Were Us

New song, new video...





I like the song, I like the video, but like most of you, I miss the Jon/Richie dynamic.  But if you look close, you'll see Richie in the video more than once.

New Music from RSO

Richie Sambora and Orianthi Duet on Sonny & Cher's 'I Got You Babe' Just in Time for Valentine's Day

Love is in the air and RSO is on the speakers!

To kick off the Valentine’s Day festivities, Richie Sambora and Orianthi have released a modern rendition of Sonny & Cher’s 1965 hit “I Got You Babe” on Thursday.

“‘I Got You Babe’ is one of the best duets of all time and it’s a song that reminds us that true affection has no limitations,” the couple said in a joint statement to PEOPLE. “Ori and I loved paying homage to this timeless Sonny & Cher classic.”

When the former Bon Jovi guitarist, 58, first met the Australian singer, 33, in Hawaii in 2013, sparks flew — both creatively and romantically. Now, the match made in heaven has a whole lot of love to spread to their fans. The pair are also releasing a new original song titled “Forever All the Way.”

“We’ve been doing our own duets and writing so much music together as RSO, and ‘Forever All The Way’ is a song we wrote about sincere commitment,” they added. “And just like Valentine’s Day, this song isn’t only about romance, it’s also about love for a child, a parent, a friend, or a family member.”

After writing nearly 70 songs over a two-year period, RSO’s first release came in September 2017 in the form of a five-song EP called Rise. Their debut full-length album is due out in April.

“I Got You Babe” and “Forever All The Way” are available for purchase and download now.

Richie on Comedy Central...

So, Richie made an appearance, sans Orianthi, on the Comedy Channel last week on The Comedy Jam:

As we prepare for Bon Jovi's return to Wells Fargo Center on March 31, we found this entertaining moment in which Comedy Central's Chris Hardwick tells a fun story about an interaction with Tom Cruise and then breaks into a jam of 'Dead or Alive' with Richie Sambora.  Hardwick's costume certainly brings up back to the 80's.

Fun stuff right there...

As an aside, I thought Richie looked and sounded really good.

I miss him...

Love This...

It has nothing to do with Bon Jovi and everything to do with my love for Josh Groban and the Phantom of the Opera.

Chills I tell ya...it gave me chills!

New Collab from Richie and Orianthi

Richie and Orianthi are on the recording train again.  In honor of it's 50th anniversary they collaborated on the Sonny and Cher classic "I Got You Babe."  And, supposedly, they are working on a new album together too.  Here's just a little tease...

Star Spangled Sambora...

So, I'm more than a little behind on things of late.  But such is life these days.  I found this has been sitting in my inbox forever so I thought I should share it before I delete it.

Richie Sambora sang the National Anthem before the Breeder's Cup way back in November.  It is a tough song to sing and I think he did a good job.

 

What do you think?

80's Anthem...

So I did one of those meaningless quizzes on Facebook.  Apparently my 80's anthem is Livin' on a Prayer.

David Bergman and Jon Bon on "Work"

I'm not sure what event this was from, but David and Jon talk a bit about the book "Work" (I own this and it is spectacular) and Jon also talks a bit about the Marion Anderson Award he will be receiving in Philadelphia.




Happy Friday!

Bon Jovi ALS Ice Bucket Challenge - UPDATED!!

Richie came thru!
As I noted in my previous post, he had been out of the country but he's back home now and he accepted the challenge...






As I am sure you all know by now, Jon Bon Jovi was challenged to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  He readily accepted the challenge and called out David Bryan, Tico Torres and Richie Sambora to do the same.





Tico also accepted the challenge.  He called out Tiger Woods, Alice Cooper and Ernie Els...




David, too, accepted the challenge.  He called out Richard Saker, Gavin DeGraw and Ryan Cabrera.





The only slacker right now is Richie.  Granted, he is out of the country, but still, they have ice, water  and buckets in Japan, don't they?


Come on Richie, where's your video?!

The DeLorean took us all the way back to 1985 where big hair abounded and guitar solos were the bomb!

And speaking of guitar solos, all you Richie lovers out there (and I include myself in that category), you'll adore the first two minutes and twenty seconds of this video...



Happy Hump Day everyone!
