Default Would you go see Bon Jovi without Jon ?

I know this is impossible to happen, but if Richie, Hugh, David and Tico formed a band and hired a guy who can sing anything, would you go see them live ? No WLOL, ILTT, WSYCGH, but Let’s Make it Baby, If I Was Your Mother ...

They could call it Bon Jovi + the guy from Bounce

I would.

It obviously wouldn't be the 'real thing', but from the musical value, it sounds like too damn good of a show to miss. But then again, it would simply go to see Bounce for that same reason.

I wouldn't, just like I'm not going if they visit Europe because Richie's not there.

Yes I could go. It would be good tribute band.
But looking on RSO setlist I think we would rather listen songs like Who Says You CGH than Runaway
Did Richie play Runaway? He said he'll never play it. Did he play Who Says? Yes. Many times

No, I wouldn't. Bon Jovi = Jon for me, wouldn't be Bon Jovi without his voice, no matter how bad or perfect.

No, I would not. Just like I would not go and see a tribute band. The first thing that attracted me to Bon Jovi was Jon’s voice, and I still need to hear it, however shot his voice is.

I would, but only if the show was local and cheap. I got into this band because of Jon's singing, and although I've become a fan of the other guys in the band as well I still wouldn't be prepared to go to any kind of extreme lengths to see the show. That being said I'm sure I'd still enjoy a show of that kind - hearing many of my favourite songs with at least most of the original band still remaining would be fun and nostalgic at least.

I still would. Won't care how much the tickets will cost as long as I'm not gonna hear a has-been singer who continues to deliver underwhelming vocal performances on their Country Hit

Nope If the namesake goes away I’d have no interest. If they form another band not named Bon Jovi and it’s different music then yes.
