**** this answer from BON JOVI INFO HQ!

We'll see who sucks on the 25th won't we!!!

yes we will and it wont be the team in white

I agree with Lise. We don't control them. They have a right to cut off songs if they want to, and fans shouldn't complain about it. At least we're getting an album. If you guys complain anymore, they might cut the whole album off and not release it (this will NOT happen, but it could someday). The Oompas may not answer any of my questions, but they are just people. Their job is to answer GOOD questions, not to be insulted by you guys. They are just humans. Now, please can we just be happy that we at least get a different album with the songs in unique forms. And yes, I do think the Oompas are mean, so there, but they can be nicer if you stop complaining. The guys are thanking us for being great fans, so they put out this album to show it, so be happy. This is not for fans that don't complain, so don't listen to the complainers, they just act like little kids (hey, I'm 15 and these people are older than me).

Oh, so you DO think that we can make a difference? Then why are YOU complaining?

Good questions like: "What kind of dog does Jon have?" or "Why is Richie so cute?". And what makes you think anyone of us is the one insulting the Oompas?

Now, can we be unhappy, because we're being sold the same songs for the fourth time? And the fifth is on the way...

No, the guys are putting out an album to please the record company and getting over the 100 million mark. And it IS for the fans to complain, we're the only ones who can. As for kids, you are one, don't try to lift yourself above others. If you don't like us complaining, then shut uo and go somewhere else. You can like the records, but don't come shoving it in our faces, we're not doing it to you.

In this day and age where the music business is in for a tough one they will have to please the record company for sure!

Did you know that last week Universal Music just fired 50 people worldwide??????? So, i would think twice for blaming a band following the orders of a record company.... Don't you listen to your boss?

And what Oompas concerns.. nice questions are not always a synonym for dumb questions.. Your examples are one of the stupid onces indeed, but I'm sure you are smart enough to ask a nice "cool" question.. instead of complaining to some who actually don't care....

I feel like you're judging a decision without knowing the real cause... and the fans don't have the right to claim an explanation...

--> why do you say that? you feel like you have the monopoly on this board to decide who can talk and who can't? Or that this board serves only complaints? I visited this board many times 7 years ago.. and it was way different from what is now... the good old times huh

I do listen, but I won't obey if it's not the best way to do things. That's why I don't work for anyone but myself. And I'm always going to say what I think, wheater you or the others like it or not.

That's where you're wrong. We DO have the right to demand the explanation. How else would we ever find out why the songs were taken off the album? And they have the right not to answer if they choose so, but at least we're doing SOMETHING as opposed to those who complain and do nothing.

No, what I mean is that if you don't like complaining, then stay out of the threads where people complain. I'm not coming in to your threads telling you that you're wrong, but you do so here. And don't think that I wasn't here 7 years ago...

Yeah sure you listen, or you are your own boss, doesn't matter... but what i mean is that you don't now the real reason, so it is wrong to complain before you know a reason... you can hate the fact that they pulled out 2 songs.. fine... you can then ask why.. you don't like why? okay complain, but not in the opposite order...

As for reading this, i like it, like to read the opinions... and i can understand them, i feel the same in some, but i like to react sometimes when i have another idea about it... that's just it

people, this thread became boring! We need a sleepy smaily.
