Ritchie has been using Silent sisters for a few months now. Now Jon Bon Jovi just got a pair to match. Takumi (guitar Tech) said the sound engineer and band had a day to test other iso cabs. According to Takumi "The Silent Sister blew them all away" "It also sounded great with the door open or closed, so they left them closed". He was also amazed how much better the Silent Sister was compared to one of Metallica's giant custom made Iso cabs that requires so much space. Ritchie, Jon Bon Jovi and the sound engineer are both looking forward to using them in the studio after they're done with the road.
