How Should Jon and The Band Go Out?
These types of topics arise ever so often and as more members continue to drop off in combination with Jon's vocal issues, the reality might be sooner rather than later.
Here's what I'd like to see:
Once Tico is done, I'd like to see Jon and Dave go out the way they came in, together. I'd like to see Jon and Dave form a jam band, similar to ACE which was more or less a SSJ knock off band. NOT The KOS... A fun late 70's style bar band.
Who knows where Jon's voice will stand in 10 years but I'd like for them to do something outside the scope of Bon Jovi. If Jon can't do the Bon Jovi songs with justice anymore, I don't want to hear them. I think a loud, horn section band where Jon's not singing the entire time would be cool. A bunch of originals, maybe a few covers. I'd like to see that for a couple years. Maybe two albums with 2 tours and then I'd like to see a real Bon Jovi reunion as a real farewell tour.... The original 5 members in the front with the fill in members in the back. A 65 year old JBJ with all the members from start to finish.
After that, Jon could do the Barry Manilow / Christmas Album style type of solo stuff. He'll probably sound like Tico by that point. If you ever heard his father speak, he's got that Tico style rasp and Jon is slowing getting there.
