Every Bon Jovi fan should read this

Did you even read his post???
Probably not, cause then your reply would be very diffrent.
You are blind, the only thing you see is: Oh it's a post from Seb, well it must be negative and bashing.

If you read it carefuly he has some good points. His posts nowadays are very different than those he posted before.
And isnt he right when he says that you people are ok with what ever opinion we have as long as we dont post it??
Well if you realy think that, you certainly should go to backstage, cause no negative posts are aloud there... you will all live nice and cosy in your own pathetic little fantasy world

I am with you all the way here. I'm new to the whole online fan community and sometimes I wish I'd stayed out of it. all you ever seem to see on the boards are people being hammered for their opinions, abused generally put down. I've heard great things about the Jovi community. haven't seen many of them yet. This album rocks, its where they are right now, it shows how they have grown as a group. No it isn't bounce or crush or even slippery, thank god, coz we've already got them. This is new and fresh, and says a lot about them as people. Enjoy it and stop running it and other fans into the ground

Very Well Said Joeykidd!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

äähhmm, Bon Jovi do have Great New Songs (Story Of My Life,HAND,Bells Of Freedom, Who Says You Can´t Go Home,I Wanna be Loved...should i go on)
these songs are as great as These Days, Faith,Prayer,Wanted and so on....

i like the new songs you mentioned except for who says maybe, but they're nothing like old songs like keep the faith and prayer.

Have a nice day is in my opinion their best album since Keep the faith. I like the Bon Jovi of the 80's, Bon Jovi of the 90's and also the Bon Jovi of the 21th c. I also don't understand that complaining... I'm a fan since KTF and I remember when These days came out, lots of fans were disabused, because they became so depressed and socio-critical in their lyrics and music. They said that it wasn't Bon Jovi anymore and things like that. For me it was just an evolution since Keep the faith and I really also like these days. Since Crush they are back on the 80's positivity line and all the people complaining... Crush was a good album with many good tracks like Two story town, older, one wild night and a song that made Bon Jovi so popular like never before. That's a fact. It's my life was the best publicity Bon Jovi ever did for themselves. Bounce also contained great typical Jovi-songs like Everyday, Bounce, Undivided and beautiful tracks like Right side of wrong and All about loving you. Have a nice day is even better, just topped by KTF and New Jersey! So let's enjoy Bon Jovi music!!!
One last important point: which other band that came out in early 80's is still doing such goog music like Bon Jovi??? Guns n' Roses??? NO! Where is AXL??? Neither Aerosmith! And so on. About U2. I like their music, but this group is just overrated by all the people and in first line by critics. Their last albums are miles away from the quality of Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. But they can do what they want, just because it's U2 and Bono, everybody will say it's great. Sorry, but their albums Pop and Zooropa had nothing to do with great pop-rock music and the last albums are just averaged albums with few great numbers. It's like Madonna, she also can do the music she wants because she's a trendsetter (they say). Bon Jovi unfortunately doesn't have this privilege...
Well, I respect your opinions, but I just don't understand how so many people see Bon Jovi in such a bad way. They still make great music and their concerts are still awesome!!! So let's enjoy it all together!!!
Have a nice day!

It really isn't like that everywhere. It does exist. Alot of people will say, just to ignore it. That's fine. Personally, I say screw it, and give it right back to them.

I really like this new album, i liked most of the songs on bounce, and although crush is my least favourite bonjovi album, i do like 2 storey town,just older ,and one wild night, from it.
There is one person on this site who is very vocal in his dislike of the direction bonjovi are going, and he has a little group of followers who chipin on his threads to back up his negativity. I think we all know im talking about aloha supersonic, i think seb has become the simon cowell pantomine baddy of this site, and regualry makes a remark just to get a reaction and to try and reel someone in to his arguments.
If you look at a thread recentl about what score you would give hand, there is a big majority that think its great, but there will always be a few who think Jon should still be flying around the audience and singing like an 18 year old can.
THese guys need to get over there hangups about the past, and if they want to continue watching and enjoying bonjovi they need to move on and look at the positives instead of the negatives.
I realise that jon cant hit the same notes anymore, but it doesnt really matter, the new album is written for jons voice as it is now, so although he cant hit the high notes of loap , the band are still creating great music, there are 5 killer tracks on this latest album that deserve high praise.
If theres any justice HAND should reach number 1 and stay there for afew weeks.
It beats the hell out of that miserable bollocks of coldplay,

Its all about opinions.

They make mediocre stuff compared to their past, they're hell of a more pop than rock, and still pretending to be a rock act. Their shows, well, predictability makes them boring. Just my opinion though. I guess you can say I see them in a bad way as they are today. Like I've said before, if the first thing I heard was IML and Crush tour, I'd most likely still think they do rock. But seen the shows in 90's, they dont even come close. They've matured, sure. Mature like "captain crash" sure is convincing....

The beauty of a board like this is that every opinion is allowed. As I disagree with u love-it-alls, ur free to disagree with me. As long as there's discussion, everyone might find a new point of views.

Aloha !

No, it's the first tour with stuff since 2000 of which I'm looking forward to hear a few of the new songs!

[QUOTE=Mrspud]It just makes me laugh how pathetic "sebastian" is, You can spot this guy from a hundred miles, the only attention he can get is when he says something to get your back up.

You've paid so much attention to my posts, yet you can't spell my name correct.

Whoah, so you really think you know me just because my opinion about Bon Jovi is mostly negative since 2000? You really think I've got no guts to open my mouth to real people face to face? You are so wrong, sucka.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
