article about Da Man

hahaha

You know that I prefer Richie to Jon but the owner of this page suck a big time...

go richie!

Have you read this what he made of the critics, who dared writing him and disagreeing with him?

Having done this I don't know if I still can be proud of Richie being number 1......

This guy should be ignored
I wondered why the site isn't called 'Mr.-guitar-knows-every-thing-god-and-you-are-just-a-looser'

What an idiot! After what he wrote about Jon he cannot be taken seriously in any way.

It's hard to believe that anybody can be such an idiot! Anyway, I've spent on this idiot too much time already.

well, its written in a rather harsh way, but theres nothing in it that isnt untrue really

Most in it untrue really.

not really,

Because he just wants to be a star. - true to an extent

Because he's a bad songwriter. - to an extent again, true

Because he gets all the credit - also true, although not really Jons fault

Because of all this "Blood on Blood" rubbish. - true, Dave Sabo wasnt treated well, Jons former number 1 bodyguard, who regarded Jon as his bet friend ever - was dumped with no real reason given etc etc

Because he can't sing anymore - debatable

Because he doesn't respect the people who put him where he is. Jon once said "I can't believe how stupid and shallow our fans are. They think we sing about love. Our songs are about lust, not love." Do I really need to comment on that? He hasn't finished either. On a trip to Sweden he said "The Swedish fans are not loyal." - speaks for itself

Because he cheats on his wife. Here's what Jon said on MTV on July 4, 1990. "The way I look at it is you're only married within the state lines. There are 49 other states, we can have 49 other relationships." Now that's just not cool. - well known fact, although hes not exactly the only person in the world to do it..

Because he thinks too highly of himself. In a recent interview Jon compared the songwriting battles and inner tensions between him and Sambora to the relationship between, wait for it… Lennon and McCartney. Give me a break! The greatest songwriting partnership in rock & roll history is being compared to Bon Jovi? The reason for battles and tensions between BJ and Sambora are because Sambora is a master and Bon Jovi is a peddler of trite rubbish and poor Richie has to try to get a decent song out of all that. - ehehe, although comparing yourself to Lennon et al is rather big headed

Reporter: There is no natural second single to "It's My Life"
Jon: Kiss my ass. "Say it Isn't So" will become a huge hit and "Thank you for loving me" will be the big ballad.
[Both singles bombed]
Reporter: How do you feel about saying that now when both singles have failed?
Jon: You can still kiss my ass. - heh

Jon on if he'd like to work with Max Martin again before It's My Life became a hit:
"I wouldn't mind but it's nothing I'm going to strive for."
And after it was a hit: "I'd love to, as talented as he is." - heh

Jon uses a cheap chat-up line on a girl at a British party, 2000: "Hey, I like the dress and I like what's in it." - nothing wrong with that

1) As far as I'm concerned Jon is an excellent songwriter. A lot better than Richie.

2) Jon is way too complex a person for all that ego, stradom sh*t, etc. to be so simple.

3) I'd like to hear the interviews he reffered to.

Ouch! The majority of live songs you hear from the band, Jon sounds pretty good. I have no complaints about his voice the times that I've seen the band!
