Jon and his "wisdom" - Part 4.

Aloha !

After reading the new letter from Jon that came with the Backstage magazine (no I'm not a member but read it online so again I saved a lot of money) I couldn't help but finding Jon a stupid dork again.

And mr. Jon Bon Jovi is the one who should know it's always been about commerce. He's the biggest commercial rock star on this planet. And why does he bring Elvis up again? It's getting boring, that obsession. Also, Elvis was a pop star as well. Face it.

But the thing that bothers me is that instead of taking a producer that produces rock albums, he takes:
If Jon Bon Jovi would really take the music business that serious he would not take a producer who is really hot right now. It's just the same as pop artists are doing. He's hot, so he hires him and wants to make sure he makes a lot of money with the new album. Last Man Standing would've been honest if Bon Jovi would not have made Crush and Bounce, but now it just sounds silly. A guy that tries to rewrite IML (Richie did even admit this) because it was a big hit, is complaining about the music industry. Jon Bon Jovi is a big hypocrite.

Oh man. I used to think you were just a troll. But you really are serious, aren't you?

Jebus Tap-Dancing Christ on a Bike dude, get a hobby!

As is your obsession with Jon the sucker.

They tried the same with You Give Love A Bad Name. Even Jon himself admitted this. Why don't you whine about this? Where have you been back then? Sh1tting your diapers.

This is so getting old....

im agreeing with alot of it right now,

i said the same thing the first time i heard "Your digital downloads" coming from the band that did 3 Webcasts and is selling music downloads online. (XS Platinum)

I told you all I just don't care for that whole line for a multitude of reasons. I know his attempted point...but it could have been done better without the hypocrisy.

Aloha !

Instead of putting all your efforts into trying to put me down for my comments you just could for once try to discuss the things I mention.

Salaam Aleikum,

A discussion of any kind with someone like you is fundamentally impossible.

Oh, what did I do?? Help. I mentioned something where Jon himself admitted he tried to copy a song. Oh my God, Jon himself! And he even admitted it...

I am sorry that you are out of arguments on this. Life goes on.
But don't tell me _I_ didn't discuss what you mentioned, because _I_ did.

The producer thing. OK let me get this straight- you hated the last two records which were co-produced by a young up and coming producer, but now you're mad because a successful band is going with a successful producer??? The "hot" comment = successful which at the moment Mr. Shanks certainly is. By the way Mr Shanks is a musician turned producer he's played and worked with a variety of genres including Ozzy, Alainis Morissette, Melissa Etheridge and yes Keith Urban. He's produced some pretty damn good records in recent years so why not work with him? And these so called rock record producers- where are they? They must not be working much or they have switched genres because I can count on one hand the number of good rock records that have been produced in the last few years.
The commercial rock star thing- I have never seen nor heard Jon say he wasn't a commercial artist, I think what he was accusing the exec of was substituting the love of a dollar for real musicians you remember them bands and artists that wrote recorded and actually played their own music.
The Elvis thing. You say JBJ is obsessed. Well, I say you are obsessed with JBJ and ripping apart eveything he says, does, wears, writes, records and releases. Please, get anither hobby because your obsession is getting old and tired. Critisism is fine, but c'mon you've taken a bunch of sentences, pulled them out of context, used you're own "creative" spin as to what they mean and slagged Jon off for it all. If you really hate the guy so much then stop following everything he does-- it's easy change the channel.
