Then what is the deal with skipping so many countries? Having just seen Access All Areas for the first time just recently, it kind of highlights that point even further, though that was a long time ago admittedly.

I know is hard to accept things like that, but, I was just telling the reality...

I love the band, but I'm not blind, I'm not a s-u-c-k-e-r fan...

And bands like Poison, Motley Crue, Firehouse, Warrant, are respectable, more than Bon Jovi...

I'm sorry, but this is the truth, this is the reality...

You can fight with me, but you can't fight with the facts...

i agree with that. i think bj is more a pop then a rock band at this moment. in the early days it rocked. but i still love them. because when you go to their concerts most of the time the play their old songs.

and those songs rocks!!!

Hi everybody!!

Well, I've just seen all this discussion and I wanna give my point of view too..

One thing we can't hide: BJ is not that hard rock band like in the begining.
But, someone here said they were more original then nowadays...were they? When BJ started, hard rock was very popular in all over the world and I think that was what made them wanted to make songs like that. Today pop and pop-rock have very straight in world music, and what BJ is today? A pop-rock band.
By the way, BJ is still selling many albuns and having sold-outs concerts in all the countries they play. And why does it happen? Cuz they found the formula of being a famous band. I wonder... if bands like Poison, Firehouse, Skid Row, etc. have had known this formula, would they be hard rock today?? Wouldn't they wanted to be famous and selling albuns and have sold-out concerts like BJ does? I don't think it's easy...

Eh? What exactly are you trying to say? That 92000 people paid £50 to see Live play for 45 minutes?

Keep On Rockin'

Erm...I only saw Live and Bon Jovi there and I didn't hear people singing along when Live were playing, but they did sing out loud every BJ tune...
