....to but an end to Bon Jovi, to put everyone out of their misery, then what would you do?

I see our great band now as an old sick dog, and sometimes I feel that Jon calling a day on the whole thing would give me a sense of relief. Because with the whole Richie thing I feel myself slightly resenting great Bon Jovi songs that feature Richie quite heavily.

So this is just a poll to see what and if people on here share my sentiment on this dire situation

Aktually I don't care. If JOn wants to continue, let him. I just won't buy tickets and Albums anymore and won't follow them.

Even though I would've preferred a "pull the plug" option since I believe Bon Jovi is breathing through a machine these days, I push the effing button, thx!

I would push the button. Enough already. It's just sad to see this once great band deteriorate more and more each year.
I just wish they would have retired years ago. It's sad if THIS will be my last memory of the band.

I'm a fan of the band's post 2K output. I especially have loved HAND onwards. I'd be happy if they keep churning out music, I do think the tours need a break, it doesn't need to end forever, just a break.

Neither, I find a way to contact Jon and threaten to push the button, but keep the band alive for a staggering amount of money.

I wouldn't push the button at all- I still enjoy the stuff they put out, and if I continued to do so I'd still see them, although not multiple times anymore.

I would get them to confirm the situation with regards to Richie and then for sure carry on if they want too, although I'd rather they take a break and work on some solo records and then see where the ground lies in a few years. Perfect excuse to get a boxset out too to keep the cash rolling in and give everyone else time to miss them.

Same for me. Even with all the drama, I don't want them to be done just yet.

I really didn't like just the 2 choices, I opted to hit the button BUT I would want them to survive the crash. Just stop for now, regroup, recover whatever they need to do and then come back something close to what our memories are. They in fact are not young anymore and they will never be that same energy again but still have potential. Why am I suddenly singing landslide in my head???? Too early am.
