Sambora To Replace Michaels on 'Rock of Love'?
Richie Sambora reportedly is set to replace Bret Michaels in the next season of TV dating show "Rock of Love."

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 short-lived romance with Locklear's former pal Denise Richards ended last year.

And TV bosses want to help him find love. A source tells OK! magazine, "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."

Actually this is a false rumour.

Someone asked the Q&A service on bonjovi.com and its not true.

Richie wouldn't do a show like that. I know its all gossip and BS.

Although it would be cool if it happened.

[Neemo]

i figured it was crap...but i heard it on the radio so i figured i'd post it 

lately i'm stuck on the Young Guns II soundtrack...its fucking brilliant Blaze of Glory, Billy Get Your Guns, Santa Fe, Blood Money

such a fuckign fantastic Album..and Slippery is awesome too...let it rock is sweet

Blaze of GLory album really shows Jon's songwriting abilities. He wrote the entire album himself.

yeah i used to have it on tape and i lost it long ago...but my yahoo music player started spinning tracks from it...now i gotta go get me a copy again...its amazing how close they were to a split at that point...or did they actually split? anyway i know Jon was pretty fucked up back then and richie too...i'm glad they ironed things out they compliment each other fatnastically...too bad its not that easy for everyone 

[D]

They were really burnt out and Richie and Jon Had a rift because Jon was more famous and made more money cause he was the only one technically signed to the label and the band were his employees pretty much. So they had a big rift out of that. When Jon made Blaze of Glory, the song was a number 1 hit and the album went triple platinum so Jon showed he didnt need the band and that I think woke the band up and made them realize they better work shit out.


Richie Sambora's "Stranger in this Town" CD is awesome as well.

[NicoRourke]

The whole band was signed. They just burned themselves out during the end of the Jersey Syndicate tour, and started to hte each other.
Then Jon went on to do Blaze Of Glory, and when the success of that album came, he was sad because the band wasn't there with him to celebrate

[Thorned Rose]

The band had an album in 84, 85, 86 and then again in 88.

That's 4 albums in 5 years, with an massive tour for SWW and for NJ. They split in 1989 I believe and it was just burn out. They played the last show on the NJ tour in Mexico and they all got on separate planes to separate places.

I love Bon Jovi, they will always be a top 5 band for me.

[mrlee]

i was tempted to go see them when they came over here.

But then i saw the ticket prices. ?45 if i want OUT of the "golden circle" bullshit, and...wait for it ...


?95!!!!! if i want in the circle. what a pisstake and thats without postage fees and parking fees.

So sorry Jon, but i aint paying that over prices bullshit.

[Bodhi]

got tix to see them in at the garden in july...first time seeing them in 8 years...im hoping they play only like 2 songs off the last few records and overload us with "Slippery" and "New Jersey"...My friend said they played "wild is the wind" last year....good shit...not sure which show though..he went to all 10 of the shows that opened up that new arena in Newark N.J...thats right all 10...little crazy if you ask me

[faldor]

I went to one of those shows in Jersey and they played WAY too much new stuff for me.  They did play all the staples pretty much, but I'm with you.  They could've played all of New Jersey and Slippery When Wet and I would've been happy.  They believe in their new material though, so there were a lot of beer/bathroom breaks for me that night.

[Bodhi]

just saw the 60 Minutes interview with Bon Jovi...that is how a band is supposed to be run....like a well oiled machine...other bands could learn a few things from him

Jon is the only one signed to the contract

check out the 60 minutes interview and they confirm it

I remember readin that and hearing that years ago and that was a big part of the split in 90. They of course were burnt out but Richie was upset that the label loved Jon more than him even though he had just as big a part of the success.
