JBJ Australian Interview

I have hard time believing Jon has anything to do with playing Australia. I could be wrong but I bet the promoter/record comapny just tells them what they are going to do.

It's a great country, I've been there and I can't see anyone turning down a chance to go there....

RW: So, what about Australia? Are they coming or not?

Jon: And I have to say that Australia’s not on the map right now.

RW: But Jon..

Jon: I know we got an issue here.

RW: We have a major issue. We have conducted this online petition. We have had thousands, thousands of people signed...and you're aware of this right?

Jon: Yeah.. from now until next June I've checked twice and it's still not on the schedule…so unless something comes up...

RW: But who makes up the schedule? You... Last time I checked...

Jon:...You're looking at him...

S.

This is definitely not the case. Even with smaller bands it's always up to them if they will join a tour package or not. Bands like Bon Jovi make up their own schedule exactly the way they want it to be.

It definetly has to do with monetary issues.
Maybe it is jon who decides the tour schedule, do they do it with their own money??
It's still the record company who puts the big bucks to have Bon Jovi on tour and they also have a say in the tour schedule.
This is all just pure speculation by me since I'm not there when they decide how/when/where to tour, but that's just the way I see it.

And ~saz~, warm up shows are what a band calls the first dates of a tour and the shows they do prior to the official tour, nothing to do with who is more important, that's just stupid to think it.

aaaw damn missed the stupid show. If anybody knows of a way i could see it that'd be neat
