JON BON JOVI - THE THINGS THEY SAY

"(Richie) Sambora's doing great. He's available, he's free. He's interviewing girls out there currently. He was in rehab but he's out. He got out early for good behaviour." Rocker JON BON JOVI assures his bandmate, guitarist RICHIE SAMBORA, is on the road to recovery since checking into rehab last year (07).

The controversial rocker, widely regarded as the best guitarist in the world, struck up an unlikely friendship with Becks when they met on a photo shoot last month.

And he added that Beckham’s silky skills on the pitch could translate into music.

RICHIE SAMBORA - THE THINGS THEY SAY

"Being a rock and roll star does exempt you from any of life's problems." RICHIE SAMBORA on life in rock band BON JOVI.
"We don't need meditation tents or anything like that. Just give me a room and I'm there." RICHIE SAMBORA insists BON JOVI never make diva-ish demands before their shows.

SAMBORA SYMPATHISES WITH TYLER

BON JOVI guitarist RICHIE SAMBORA sympathises with AEROSMITH rocker STEVEN TYLER over his battle with substance abuse.

Tyler, 60, checked himself into rehab last week (beg19May08) - 20 years after his first attempt to kick his drug and alcohol problems.

But Sambora - who has also struggled to break free of his addictions, which culminated in an arrest for drink-driving in March (08) - insists Tyler is strong enough to fight his demons once and for all.
He says, "I don't think I'm the best person to give Steve advice. Steve is a big boy and he's been through that drill quite a few times.

"I knew that he was having some problems and was on pain medication so I'm guessing he went in for that. Good luck to him."

Richie Sambora Has the Time of His Life

@LAX.jpg

Despite recent troubles, Richie Sambora looked like he was having the time of his life as he made his way through LAX yesterday.From the time he arrived at the curb to the time he retied his shoes after security, Sambora kept that smile stretched across his face.� Good for him.We particularly like his guffaw near the x-ray security bins.� I mean, we were pretty amused by that in-bin Zappos ad too, but not that amused.� Of course, he could have been laughing about something else.� Then again, he could have been laughing about the Zappos ad.� So there.On that note.� Is there no sacred ground anymore?� We half expect to lift a toilet seat* and find advertising under there.Clearly, Sambora wasn't flying Southwest.� Not because he's loaded.� Because Southwest probably wouldn't let him board dressed like that.

60 Minutes

"Jon is the leader of this organization. It's defined. That's an advantage," Bon Jovi's lead guitarist Richie Sambora said.

"1985, Rolling Stone Magazine reported that Jon was the only person who was actually on the record contract. And the rest of you were all employees of his," Kroft said.

"That's true," Sambora said.

And Sambora said that it is still true today. "It's the most unique position and the most unique thing in the record business, I think, to date. It shows you even more the solidarity of what this union is about."

Sambora, who has made up for Bon Jovi's absence from the gossip columns with a highly publicized divorce from Heather Locklear and troubles with alcohol, says no one in the band has ever regretted the arrangement.

"Jon, he's the master of all philanthropic endeavors, sports teams, you know, song writing, record production. I mean, the guy is very, very smart man. And then on top of that, best brother a guy could ask for," Sambora said. "Very consistent. Always. I mean, played a big part in helping me out of my deluge over the last year, you know? Kept me up. Kept me working."

The loyalty goes both ways and Bon Jovi has made them rich beyond their wildest dreams. Sambora, Tico Torres and keyboardist Dave Bryan have been together for 26 years now, since the earliest days on the Jersey shore, and they remain among Bon Jovi's closest friends.

"You guys seem to get along pretty well for a rock band," Kroft remarked.

"We speak the same language. We've grown up in the same place. I mean, Jon and David, and I were born by the same baby doctor in the same hospital," Sambora explained.

Richie Sambora Hairstyles

Richie Sambora (was born on July 11th, 1959) is the lead guitar player for Bon Jovi, a hard rock band from New Jersey, USA.

His ends were razored to give the hair a textured finish and create a wispy look. The style works great for him. But, people with round face shape should avoid this hairstyle as the bangs will shorten the face while the hair that kicks out at chin length will accentuates roundness.

In 1980s, Sambora was one of musicians who promoted big hairstyles.

Sambora: Bon Jovial at Photog's Interrogation

Tip-Top Service

For nesters in Two Liberty’s aeries, concierges scale down life’s hassles.

Especially with views like these. To the east, for example, you can look over Billy Penn's shoulder, follow tankers that look from up here like toy boats on the Delaware, past the Etch-A-Sketch grids of Camden's streets and on into the tufted green suburbs of Cherry Hill and beyond.

Within a year, there will be a full complement of neighbors, including Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi's guitarist, and Tom Knox, the businessman who ran for mayor last year.

But for now, the lack of company works nicely for Michael Beautyman, who set up house on the 40th floor in early April.

Richie Sambora Is NOT The Next Rock of Love

Recently, a rumor circulated that Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora will be the next rocker to search for love on VH1’s Rock of Love franchise. We can report that this is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. Every time Rock of Love ends, people start placing their bets on which rock star will be the next to publicly search for love. Until you hear officially from us, none of that is reality.

Sambora to replace Michaels on Rock Of Love?

Richie Sambora is set to replace Bret Michaels in the next season of TV dating show Rock Of Love, according to reports.

Poison frontman Michaels recently wrapped season two when he chose wannabe actress Ambre Lake as the winner and his new girlfriend.

Despite the first season being exposed as a fraud - the winning contestant already had a boyfriend - Michaels and Lake insists this time it is for real, and they are handing the show over to another single star.

Bon Jovi guitarist Sambora 48, has been single since his April 2007 divorce from actress Heather Locklear and a shortlived romance with Locklear's former pal Denise Richards ended last year.

And TV bosses want to help him find love. A source tells American magazine OK!, "He's perfect for TV. If you thought Bret (Michaels) was must see TV, you ain't seen anything yet. Richie is going to be a train wreck looking for love."
