Yes exactly! She makes the show more country sounding which is what I don't want! Bon Jovi are a ROCK band!
But hey I'm sure this has been said a thousand times already, so whatever.
I'm looking forward to the new album and a new tour which will hopefully be Bon Jovi rockin' at their best!

I just saw him with Southside Johnny (3 days ago) when they did a 3 1/2 hour concert. His acoustic guitar work was superb during the acoustic set and his voice and Southside's blend together like Jon and Richie's do. He really shines there, where he simply can't with Bon Jovi.
Do you reckon he'll be coming over to the UK when Southside Johnny does in September? I'm going to a show, i can't wait, tiny tiny venues!

That reminds me I need to get my ticket for the Sheffield gig. If Bobby is there I'll wear a Jovi shirt and give him some respect.



As for Lorenza, I hope to god she doesn't stick around after this tour but I don't mind her that much for the LH stuff - but only the LH stuff in my opinion. The fact she's getting involved in old songs worries me slightly that she might hang on for the forseeable future :/

You're right, Bobby is actually a very good singer and guitarist. Yesterday I watched this video of Jon and The Big Dogs playing Billy Get Your Guns in '97/8 and Bobby played a great solo, and that Drift Away peformance shows he has a great voice.

But why does he never play solos like he did in the video I mentioned anymore

Even tho i do like Lorenza and appreciate Jon and the band's decison /efforts at shaking things up a bit this time round; i has to agree with you on this!! I dont want her as a permanent fixture in the MAN BAND that is BON JOVI!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah she's good in Lost Highway stuff, and also in songs that suit a violin but not the others.

He will for sure be there if his commitments with Bon Jovi are finished.
i've seen Southside Johnny and the Astbury Jukes quite a few times in London, they are great! - And yes, tiny venues too, I love it!

I must admit that during the concert last Saturday I never really noticed her - I tend to concentrate so much on Jon and Richie and the guitars that I don't even notice Tico, Hugh and David as much as I should, let alone any other added extras! So no, her inclusion doesn't bother me at all.

I don't mind either her or Bobby being on tour with the band. I thought Lorenza played well, fit in quite nicely and added some flavor to the live show. Bobby is kind of hidden up back there except when Jon pulls him out so I can't say he bugged me. I agree with Kathleen that he isn't utilized very well with BJ, I've seen him with the Jukes and he comes off much better.
