I don't actually think I'll be able to manage it, but we shall see. Stranger things have happened.
Me when coming across this article:

Considering a visit to Spain in June. I'm in the mood for some good paella and sangria. Oh, and maybe I'll catch a show.

Loved ADKoT. Awesome guitar by Eddy + halarious lyrics by Dave = badass album.
I think my favorite track was You and Your Blues.

One thing I love about his solo albums, it goes to show how much of an influence he is on the main band. You can tell that These Days, Keep the Faith, and allot of New Jersey were Richie albums.

It really is. I also really liked Sugar Daddy and Burn the Candle Down, they have a garage rock feel to them. But, You Can Only Get So High its def my favorite, talk about feeling.

Sounds cool, enjoy. Per those video's it looks like they put on a good show. I came across them a few months ago. I was reading the review for Apocalyptic Love at www.allmusic.com, and Volbeat's last album was listed as being similar. So I checked them out and was glad I did.

Yep, I think Bon Jovi were on a winning streak from Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, Keep The Faith and These Days, but they kinda lost me after that, probably more because my music tastes were getting heavier at the time.
I still remember seeing Bon Jovi on the These Days Australian tour, and they played at Eastern Creek Raceway, (the same place I'd missed seeing GN'R in 1993
), and they were great.
Say what you will about them releasing middle of the road rock for the last 10 years or more, but these guys fucking ROCKED the shit outta Eastern Creek on that tour.
My taste in music got heavier as well, I got really into nu metal in high school. But I'd still listen to Bon Jovi on occasion, when my metalhead friends weren't around. I did start listening less and less, not because I didn't like anymore, but because I listened to those records so much that I've gotten bored of them.

These Days is a masterpiece no matter who cut it. I know that people dog Jovi but that's mostly because of a lot of the output they've released since These Days.
I'm glad you dig it. It's one of those "dream owns" on vinyl for me but it's rare enough that I can't bring myself to pay what it goes for. I have the 45's for This Ain't A Love Song (which has a live version on the flip side) and Something For The Pain (which has These Days on the flip side) as well as Lie To Me. But I'd love to get the rest of the record on vinyl.
I'm not into vinyl, but I've been reading through the thread you started on your collection and its definitely got me interested. It'll be a while before I have the time and money to pursue that interest though.
Have you heard Richie's Aftermath? It reminds me very much of These Days.

I like this song alot so I listened to their album. I was very disappointed. The only other song I liked was a cover they did of Nirvana's Polly.
