Well, Jon is the leader and the band member who was signed to the record contract. The rest of the band - including Sambora - were hired by Jon. He could’ve made it a solo act, but chose to form a group using just his last name. That said, I too prefer Sambora over Bon Jovi in some ways, but I believe Jon is the more talented songwriter.
I've been to a shit load of concerts...God knows I can't count lol - - but I'll say this seeing Zac Brown is hands down one of the best shows ever!!! What a F----ing show!!!
Still love this song. Richie Sambora is still amazing!!! I'm so blessed I was born in 72, I got to grow up listening to the best music ever!!! Including 80's hair bands we ROCKED!!!
@@spspcards1If the kids had good HS in ‘80’s parents like my kids- they got exposed to it! 😂 And our 23 & 25 yr old both listen to stadium rock & hair metal.
Richie Sambora can sing. I love this song, and it's definitely one of my Bon Jovi hits. How awesome is it that Zac got to sing with Richie? A memory he will never forget. Awesome performance by two great musicians.
I've been a Richie Sambora fan ever since the release of his solo album "Stranger In This Town" back in 1991 which has always been one of my all time favorite albums.. It is so awesome to see him still performing so well after all of these years! If you haven't heard the album yet, please check it out.. It is awesome all the way from beginning to end!
Honestly ZBB the most all around talented band ever. Diversity and variety is unlimited. Thank you for bringing joy to my life ❤ music is my religion ✝️
I never get tired of seeing / hearing this song played live, particularly when Mr S is at the wheel. Hopefully he never tires of playing it, either. Thx to all, for this fine performance!
dear Dominguez Household - yes he does ! There are a slew of those guys/bands I listened to [ even some from the 70's ha😂ha ] continue to sound astonishing. I shall admit there are some that should've hung it all up !!! ***And as a side note, let's be reminded how great a fiddle sounds in a rock-n-roll band***including the likes of Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention, Mahavishnu Orchestra & John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.....to name only a few. Let's keep rock-n-roll 🎸 🎤 🥁 🎻 alive forever ‼‼
The real reason is there isn't much that the ZBB can't cover and cover well. They are truly an ultimate cover band that hit it with mainstream success of their own.
I’m blown away you never heard of Zac Brown Band. Amazing group. And they are known for singing cover songs at their concerts! This song is amazing. Check them out singing Metallica’s Enter Sandman!
I like jovi tunes better when Richie sings the ones he wrote. That way you can hear how they were meant to be. Raw, Bluesy, in your face rock tunes. Richie without doubt one of our generations best musicians.
oh my god, love this. how my hubby would have lapped this up as a lover of guitar, rock, and touch of country? just all round good stuff. love Richie, such strength and presence, he does 'good' like his momma said!!!
I have so much respect for Richie Sambora! As a dedicated Bon Jovi fan since 1984, I, along with many loyal Bon Jovi fans, am nervously but eagerly awaiting a possible Bon Jovi reunion. Richie’s incredible talent, passion and voice was always integral to Bon Jovi, and his performance at the 2018 R&RHOF ceremony gave fans hope that this legendary band can move forward with future performances with the King of Swing. At the same time, he is a brilliant solo artist as well. Thank you for this lovely video featuring my favorite Bon Jovi song! ❤️🎶🎸🤘
Three half steps down from the original recording... props to Richie for being able to overcome that muscle memory after all those years playing it in a different key!
Richie just gets better with age. As a guitarist, as a vocalist, and as one of the hottest men on the planet, he never disappoints. I'll go to my grave loving him.
Loving how country and rock and roll are coming together. We all grew up listening to the same great music and as Dolly Parton said there are only two types, of music ,good and bad and this is good 🎸👍😁
Richie responds perfectly to each of his lines, he is just made for that. I hope for his soon return to the group. It would be good for Jon, for himself and for all of us.
2:18: You pour your heart and soul into learning guitar, endure countless blisters on your fingertips, survive years of your neighbors' noise complaints, spend decades honing your skills to perfection... only to become Richie Sambora's living, breathing guitar stand for his 'Wanted Dead or Alive' solo.
Richie never disappoints! So good! I can't wait for new music from Jon and Richie! They are a magical combo. Look how well their songs stand the test of time.❤
This song just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. This is epic. & yes Richie Sambora is most definitely underated‼️‼️❤️ I have a weakness for the GUITAR -& THE WIZARDS, THAT MAKE THEIR "MAGICK & CAST THEIR HYPNOTIC, SPELLS THAT ALWAYS AWAKENS THE BEST PART OF MY SOUL . MUSIC IS THE MOST HEALING REMEDY FOR MYSELF‼️‼️❤️ MUCH ❤️ TO ALL WHO KEEPS ME SINGING DANCING , WHEREVER I GO , I AM ME‼️‼️‼️✌️ & ❤️
I trust in any musician this incredible talent, Richie Sambora, brings into his circle. You’ve got to trust the way every ounce of his being is feeling rhythm in song. The best always 🙌♥️
One of my favourite Country bands together with my favourite rock guitarist. What an awesome performance! Could it get any better? Hardly… Thanks a lot for posting this video! 🙏
My only regret is that I have but one thumbs up to give to this performance.
Richi sambora is so underrated as a singer he has amazing voice
Sambora MADE Bon Jovi with his guitar work, but even more importantly, his harmony vocals.
He needs to go back and help his mate out!!
Why do people keep saying he’s underrated ? He’s well known for his awesome vocals
Totally Agree
Sambora just brings it.....all these years
Richie Sambora we love you, you ROCK
Always have been and ALWAYS WILL BE Sambora fan. ❤
Love how Richie brings in the violinist and guitar for their solo - class
It’s 1989 in my brain right now in 2023 and that melted my face. Thanks
A lead who can actually sing. And always love Richie.
It is great to see Richie up there.
I bet Jon really misses being with him on stage . . .
Richie is one of the worlds most underrated guitar greats. The real heart and soul of Bon Jovi
I’ve always said Bon Jovi was nothing without Richie
hes not underrated at all, everyone knows he's great
And great vocals/backing vocals too
His awesome !! .. but his not a singer
Well, Jon is the leader and the band member who was signed to the record contract. The rest of the band - including Sambora - were hired by Jon. He could’ve made it a solo act, but chose to form a group using just his last name. That said, I too prefer Sambora over Bon Jovi in some ways, but I believe Jon is the more talented songwriter.
Definitely a privilege for Zack to get to play with a legend.
Just when you think the original couldn’t get any better…,.
Richie is in his 60's and still rockin it!
I'm not saying he can't. However, this is an old performance.
i could watch this 2,000 times and it still wouldn’t be enough
I truly know, why Richie is my favorite Idol. 🤷🏻♂️
There's no way singing out WANTED and the audience singing it back cant feel amazing. Like man great lyric writing
Memories you nailed this song bon Jovi is smiling
Sambora is one badass shredder!! Can sing his ass off too. Boys got da soul in him
I've been to a shit load of concerts...God knows I can't count lol - - but I'll say this seeing Zac Brown is hands down one of the best shows ever!!! What a F----ing show!!!
Still love this song. Richie Sambora is still amazing!!! I'm so blessed I was born in 72, I got to grow up listening to the best music ever!!! Including 80's hair bands we ROCKED!!!
I was born the same year and I agree we had some of the best damn music ever!!
Imagine the music todays teens missed out on ? Wow
@@spspcards1If the kids had good HS in ‘80’s parents like my kids- they got exposed to it! 😂 And our 23 & 25 yr old both listen to stadium rock & hair metal.
Damn that was good, Sambora rocks, and probably the best band in country
Richie Sambora can sing. I love this song, and it's definitely one of my Bon Jovi hits. How awesome is it that Zac got to sing with Richie? A memory he will never forget. Awesome performance by two great musicians.
❤❤❤❤😅😅❤😅
Hey Zac can sing too.
He's got a beautiful voice and a great range.
All Genre's of music.
But Richies still got it too.
So glad he's at least in talks to rejoin Bon Jovi. Richie Sambora is a an absolute living legend
Uhmm, that won't happen. He is dissing jon 😂
Without Richie, where would John have truly been!? SAMBORA!! ✌️
Amen!
Apparently not!
100%
Sambora is the man!!!! The voice, the guitar! He's got it all!!!! Been a fan since the 80's. Sambora rocks!!
These guys prove that some classic songs are timeless 😊😅😮😂❤😂😊❤😊
I've been a Richie Sambora fan ever since the release of his solo album "Stranger In This Town" back in 1991 which has always been one of my all time favorite albums.. It is so awesome to see him still performing so well after all of these years! If you haven't heard the album yet, please check it out.. It is awesome all the way from beginning to end!
Yes!!! Stranger is a classic - one of my FAVE albums, period! Richie is so underrated!
Супер альбом
Honestly ZBB the most all around talented band ever. Diversity and variety is unlimited. Thank you for bringing joy to my life ❤ music is my religion ✝️
Sambora always plays & sings with feeling, outstanding!
I never get tired of seeing / hearing this song played live, particularly when Mr S is at the wheel. Hopefully he never tires of playing it, either. Thx to all, for this fine performance!
40 years later Richie still sounds great on the guitar and the mic
dear Dominguez Household - yes he does ! There are a slew of those guys/bands I listened to [ even some from the 70's ha😂ha ] continue to sound astonishing. I shall admit there are some that should've hung it all up !!! ***And as a side note, let's be reminded how great a fiddle sounds in a rock-n-roll band***including the likes of Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention, Mahavishnu Orchestra & John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.....to name only a few. Let's keep rock-n-roll 🎸 🎤 🥁 🎻 alive forever ‼‼
Richie MADE Bon Jovi - shame it made him leaving to realise it
Sounds better than Jon these days
And Bon Jovi wants him because they need a singer. Looks like he will be their new, touring guitarist and vocalist lol
He'll be back with JBJ baby
It just goes to show how many young people still know bon Jovi. Amazing band
This is freaking awesome ! Thanks Zac and Richie for rockin' this tune !!! Sambora is the man ❤
So nice to see Ritchie still has it.
Amazing!!! Love you Richie❤
Zach Brown is another performer who can sing just about anything he learns the lyrics of and he is a very good guitar player 😊😅😮😂❤😂😊❤😊❤
Absolutely amazing
One of the Absolute best versions of this song.
Ritchie for all his greatness as a player
graciously sharing leads with Members of the band.
Well that was Friggen AWESOME!!!
✌️🤠
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! Richie is the BEST!🥰🤩Zac Brown Band rocked it with Richie! It's great to see RS back out playing. He still GOT IT!
Blessed Gypsy Richie's been playing and singing, started with Orianthi after he left Bon Jovi, and eventually they split but he was still performing.
The crowd stepping all over this tune. Still the top Bon Jovi tune. The only one that holds up.
Damn Ritchie is badass!!! He sure did rock them all
I absolutely love the way the ZBB invites other artists to join them on stage during their concerts!
Just a big party, the way life was meant to be ❤
Pretty sure this was a huge honor for Zac. Bon Jovi are legends who inspired everybody.
The real reason is there isn't much that the ZBB can't cover and cover well. They are truly an ultimate cover band that hit it with mainstream success of their own.
Sounds awesome. Look even better. Both of them! ❤
Richie is the BEST ! No wonder his grands were Polish😊 as I am😊 you cant cheat on your gens😊
Richie killed this one. Never heard of Zac Brown but great work here!
You are missing out if you don’t know Zac Brown Band. Incredible musicians. Their body of work is incredible. Check ‘em out! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
How is that even possible? You need to go down the rabbit hole with ZBB. They're incredible!
The lead guitarist, Clay Cook was John Mayers roommate in college and they were in a band together back then!
Zac Brown Band is horrendous. I throw up in my mouth every time I hear them. Instant skip when they come on the radio.
I’m blown away you never heard of Zac Brown Band. Amazing group. And they are known for singing cover songs at their concerts! This song is amazing. Check them out singing Metallica’s Enter Sandman!
Richie Sambora is so great, can sing and play! True legend
I like jovi tunes better when Richie sings the ones he wrote. That way you can hear how they were meant to be. Raw, Bluesy, in your face rock tunes. Richie without doubt one of our generations best musicians.
oh my god, love this. how my hubby would have lapped this up as a lover of guitar, rock, and touch of country? just all round good stuff. love Richie, such strength and presence, he does 'good' like his momma said!!!
One of the best songs ever written in my book, so atmospheric and cinematic. Kudos!
Richie is a national treasure
*International
YYYEESS RICHIE!!! YOU SING BETHER THEN JON ON THIS MOMENT!! AND YOU STILL ONE OF THE BEST GITAR PLAYER ON EARTH!!!!❤😊 SEE YOU AGAIN!!!
This is why JBJ needs to beg Richie to comeback. Jon’s voice is shot and he needs Richie’s voice
John Bon Jovi had the name Richie had the soul
Bad ass!!!!!!!
Dang, Richie is so awesome on the guitar!!! You don't see that anymore especially this day and age!
Wow. This is one of my favorite songs and this is phenomenal. I also love the live versions with Orianthi or Bon Jovi.
Richie is the best
I have so much respect for Richie Sambora! As a dedicated Bon Jovi fan since 1984, I, along with many loyal Bon Jovi fans, am nervously but eagerly awaiting a possible Bon Jovi reunion.

Wow, just stunning.,. Wow!
Love the vocals on this version. Sambora was a favorite during his time with Bon Jovi. Thanks for sharing.
KiKK Ass RoKKnFnRoLL Richie, you make New Jersey Proud
Richie was always my favorite!!!
Damn straight, shit fire! Whole lot of talent on that stage!!
Three half steps down from the original recording... props to Richie for being able to overcome that muscle memory after all those years playing it in a different key!
2 Words. BAD ASS !!
damn Richie Ray Vaughn that was fire 🔥
This song should be Trumps walk up music to the stage
Dude on the violin crushed it, interesting playing and sound👌
Richie just gets better with age. As a guitarist, as a vocalist, and as one of the hottest men on the planet, he never disappoints. I'll go to my grave loving him.
Life finds away to keep what it wants “timeless”
Richie, I loooooove you❤
Wow, mr. Blues Sambora fully technical bluesy the way his singing 🤟🏿
🥰 awww great rendition of Wanted Dead or Alive Good Job
This gave me goosebumps. Amazing.
Bloddy brilliant! Timeless track
Richie looks and sounds good.
This is from 2014, not recent. I'd love to see and hear a more recent performance from him.
Zac Brown is the contemporary American troubadour. Whether with Richie or Jimmy Buffett or anyone between, he's just an amazing musician and vocalist.
Spectacular!! Love Richie Sambora and Zac Brown! Those boys can sing!!
Loving how country and rock and roll are coming together. We all grew up listening to the same great music and as Dolly Parton said there are only two types, of music ,good and bad and this is good 🎸👍😁
Richie responds perfectly to each of his lines, he is just made for that. I hope for his soon return to the group. It would be good for Jon, for himself and for all of us.
Still one of the best performances from any CMA fest

😳😳😳 How awesome!!!♥️♥️♥️
Richie never disappoints! So good! I can't wait for new music from Jon and Richie! They are a magical combo. Look how well their songs stand the test of time.❤
The problem though as we all know is that Jonny boy had lost his voice, he sings NOTHING like Richie…..
Fabulous job ZBB & Richie!
I love to watch RS play one of the best ...bon Jovi was the soundtrack to my teenage years Richie Sambora is still as sexy as he ever was ..damn.
listen to this everyday!
Zac and the band be cowboys
They always nail the coverd
Then Ritchie grabs a Gibson and rocks out with Zac!
❤❤❤
Zac Brown just taking in the greatness during the guitar solo. Musical icon. I would say this version is the best I have seen in years.
Love Richie!
Richie sambora has a kick ass voice along with kick ass guitar skills
Richie was Bon Jovi!!! Jon is a shadow of Richie!!!
So damn good. Glad the crowd seems to recognize it. Richie is a goat
So awesome and amazing!!!❤️😊😊👍👍💪🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘

One of my favourite Country bands together with my favourite rock guitarist. What an awesome performance! Could it get any better? Hardly… Thanks a lot for posting this video! 🙏
Richie still slaying !
