alllllrighty... well the interview was... interesting. They talked about the band passing a point of ever breaking up despite Jons acting career or future solo releases, and briefly about live 8, and how they continue to satisfy fans new and old with each albums release. Then just a bit about Jon and Richie being family men now.

Then it got interesting for Aussie fans when the interviewer mentioned the petition and put forward the question of why they werent touring the country since we had always been good to the band in the past. Jon tried to charm his way out of the tough questions (like he cared) by saying that he has checked the tour schedule a few times and Australia unfortunately
still isnt there.

The petition was brought forward, and how thousands had signed. Jon and Richie said they were aware of the petition and support they have in Australia, and there is a chance they may do a couple of 'warm up' shows to kick off the tour. This seems unlikely, and a warm up show isnt a show, however its better then nuthing, but as I said... probaly just a white lie to get out of a difficult question.

On a positive note, There are 3 large Australian promotors bidding to get Bon Jovi down here for the summer.
