- HAND is one of the best albums post KTF and definiteley most consistent.
- Crush has too much filler and save the world is truly awful.
- I love Richies performances of TD and IBTFY but his bluesy voice wouldn't suit all songs, which is why I think Jon is a better singer cos he is very versatile whether its country, rock or a ballad but Richie is way better on guitar.
- I only listen to runaway of Bon Jovi.
- Rarely listen to anything off 7800 unless its hardest part is night.
- Listen to bout half of slippery not including wanted dead or alive.
- New Jersey and KTF are not overated to me.
- TD is the best album if I feel down but the worst if I'm energetic or happy.
- The opening to Bounce slays me every time, its well gd.
- TLFR fav songs are - Its my life, blood on blood (on dvd), bad medicine and bad name. LOAP is ok too.
- Hallelujah could have just being written for Jon to sing.
- I really like the boxset version of always but saturday night is pure poop.
- Love is war should have been on NJ.
- Nothing should have been on hand.
- The none existent album Sex Sells probably would have been pretty average so it was better that Destination was released.
- Jon sounded better in the 2008 tour than he has for a LONG time.
- Half the best tracks on bounce and the best half of crush would have made an amazing album, They could have called it Bush!

And that's my long winded view

I'm not sure any of that is particularly controversial

I guess it ain't that controversial, I just can't help putting in my 2 cents.

- Richie murders 'These Days'.(No offence, Jon does it miles better).
- 'You Give Love A Bad Name' should always be the second song of the night.

I'm going to be very unfair here, but I don't care.

Compare Richie's version in Tokyo. 2008. Compare it to Jon's version in Frankfurt, 2008.

To be fair, I doubt Jon would have done any better with These Days at Tokyo, the whole band seemed to be really off

That's what I meant by being unfair.

Seriously though, Richie is a fantastic singer but is not suited to 'These Days' at all.
