Talk:Richie Sambora

message: I'm having some level of difficulty verifying the following paragraph that was found on the Bon Jovi page. Richie's website appears to be under reconstruction at the moment (24/10/02), and bonjovi.com just switched to a new design a couple months ago, some information seems to be missing still and I'm not familiar with the layout quite yet.
:"Before joining Bon Jovi, Richie had toured with Joe Cocker, played with a group called Mercy and had just been called up to audition for Kiss. He also played in the album "Lessons" with the band "Message", that has been recently rereleased in CD through Long Island Records."
Guitarrista de merda,só não é pior que o Slash.Pode parar de ler essa merda e vai fazer algo útil.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.94.163.53 (talk) 20:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Before Bon Jovi

message: I have recently been to see Bon Jovi in Manchester (4 June 06) and I waspretty close to the giant screens showing the bands performance, and Richie had a very chubby face, I thought ok, he's just benn dumped by Heather Locklear, but it didn't seem right! He looked pretty horrible, really chubby cheeks, eyes looked weird as well, and it didn't look like his body was overweight.
* No, no illness has been announced. He was going through a hard time at that point, his wife ended their marriage (apparently without telling him, depending on which media outlet you believe) and his father was either terminally ill or recently passed at the time. Given recent reports, however, he may well have been drinking a lot then and his weight bore the effects of that. Sky83 (talk) 00:32, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  That whole 'career' section really is a load of crap. Artificial Harmonics are mostly found in the genre of death metal??? Who wrote this rubbish? Except for the talkbox section, it's all going I'm afraid.Mikejstevenson 12:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Better, but still not nearly good enough. Will work on it.Mikejstevenson 13:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Okay, I removed the section.  It had no citations, had areas marked as using weasel words and needed NPOV.  Plus, it was about Bon Jovi, not Sambora!  (Sambora's name was only mentioned once, in the 2nd to last paragraph).  If somebody wants to put it back in, it should be written to be about Bon Jovi's work with Sambora (with citations).  For strictly Bon Jovi information, follow the link to the Bon Jovi article.  Nerfer (talk) 23:54, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article quality = not good 

message: What's up with the separate Bon Jovi section?  It doesn't even mention Sambora in there.  If people want to know about Bon Jovi they should go to Bon Jovi's wiki entry.  I haven't seen something done like that elsewhere in Wikipedia, I'd recommend removing that section. Nerfer (talk) 07:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bon Jovi section 

message: This is one of the worst messes I've ever seen on Wikipedia. The few coherent paragraphs that aren't bullet-style lists read as if written by a first grader. I cleaned up the "Personal life" section, and also added the bits about his alcohol addiction, stint in rehab and DUI arrest (can't even believe that they weren't already in the article). The main body of the article is random information about his equipment, and there's barely an outline of a biography included. Hardly a single reference is cited within the entire article, save for the five or six I included with my additions. I really don't care one lick about Richie Sambora and stumbled on to this article out of sheer insomnia-enduced boredom; but those of you who are interested in this guy's music should really work on shaping up this hunk of junk entry. 
I cleaned up the talk page a little bit too, as most of the entries on it were outdated by years or just spam. Shamrox (talk) 09:46, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Major issues with the article

message: Please quote the source for the novel as the inspiration. I was under the impression it was a reference to Bon Jovis 2005 hit 'Who Says You Can't Go Home'  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.15.142 (talk) 20:10, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: You can go home

message: "Richie received many positive reviews as a rock guitarist, and with that Richie has been named as one of the best rock guitarists still alive, Richie is a big difference between other guitarists alive, her voice is incomparable." idk, this seems POV, especially the last part. - Tim, 12 January, 2011  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.57.211 (talk) 16:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: POV?

message: This section, and probably all the instrument and equipments sections, has no citations. I suspect a lot of it is original research. That being said, I appreciate the information so it would be great if anyone has any reasonable sources to back it up. I can only try to find internet sources.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Italienmoose (talk • contribs) 21:20, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole section is very detailed and should possibly be edited down. Obviously some of the equipment and instruments need to be mentioned, but it now has an air of the promotional. Karst (talk) 11:05, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

message: The citation links to a ranking for Joe Perry not Richie Sambora, and I can't find Richie in that ranking anywhere....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.123.24 (talk) 19:29, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Relationship with Orianthi

message: I knew him when he was 18 years old.loved his voice and his friendship. I was only 15 but will never forget him. I just saw his obituary and it broke my heart. He died so young. I always wondered what happened to him. I'm so glad he made music his life. I saw you visited his family after he passed. And I'm glad to see he was happy with someone he loves. I loved him but he only loved me as a friend. We met when he was with the Royals. He played at the Hearth where I met him. Tell me he was happy. That's all I ever wanted for him.
