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."

Can anyone provide a reliable source for this information? I've been able to verify that Richie appeared on the "Lessons" album, and the rest sounds right from my recollection, but I don't want to go on my own faulty memory here.

"Richie has a feel for a guitar solo, not only following the key of song but the chord progression"

If you play along to 16 bars of a song, of course you have to follow the chord progression! Every soloist has to do that!!!

Has he got an illness/ overweight?

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.

NPOV

There are still some parts of this article that read like a fan site and not like an encyclopedia. Please correct as necessary. --D -Day ^{I'm all ears How can I improve?} 22:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
