The Bon Jovi Hit Richie Sambora Says He Hated and Will Never Play Again

The Bon Jovi Hit Richie Sambora Says He Hated and Will Never Play Again. Though Richie Sambora left Bon Jovi in 2013, he enjoyed a long run with the band and is now a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. However, he doesn’t miss playing one of Bon Jovi’s crucial hits. In 2014, Sambora told The Sydney Morning Herald, “The early Bon Jovi stuff I can’t stand. I just think we didn’t have our stylistic voice. But some people love some of that stuff.” Though fans often request “Runaway,” Sambora said, “I hate that song! I’ll never play it again.”
