Jon on Instagram

If Jon pulled a Bruce and got overly political with his songs and speeches, that would be the true end for me... These Liberals making excuses and blaming others for morbid crimes is a mindset I'll never understand... Happy Now is as close to the line as you can get for me...

I hate politics and extemists. I am neither liberal or conservative. I’m a moderate. I vote based on the candidate, not based on whether there is a D or R next to the name. And sometimes I go with the I because the two main candidates are both repulsive. Because I hate the hypocrisy of 99% of politicians, I don’t want to think about them when experiencing something that should bring joy or emotional connection like music.

Agree...What I don't like is the Media and Celebrities try to jam this liberal bullshit down our throats which is a for of communism...

Well, then forget about Trump and what goes on in the world, and channel that rage at not having got the Buffalo Bills. Whatever. Make a ****ing rock record with some claw.

That was my point, not politics.

Well, but anybody defending or still liking Trump or anything he does, doesn't seem to have a clear mindset. So, bring it on! I'd love some music to sing along to and swear about that st*pid m*therf*cker...

Now that we know that Jon in the studio with Shanks writing and recording, when do you think it will be the next release?

It would be fantastic to have two different projects like Burning Bridges (2015) and THINFS (2016). It would be great if they released an EP next year, in the beginning of the tour, and in 2019 a new full album. I'm dreaming a little, I know.

You're married to a minister, though, aren't you? And you said you detest parties because "people suck". Certainly doesn't sound like you'd enjoy Raise Your Hands if it was to be released by a modern act.

The last song Desmond co-wrote with the band that was actually released was Army Of One. I wouldn't assume that just because the title sounds materialistic that the music is gonna follow suit.

i guess they started working on some songs/ideas... we all know how fast this can turn into an album with jon and shanks but for now i ll say he is taking it slow...
i also have this theory...jon has this new found fire about music after the sucesfull south american leg, he feels he is getting partially his voice back and then comes the hall of fame nomination...jon is a human, he is definetely pumped about this...(the first time bj got nominated jon called mcghee wrong spelling and asked him if he d sit in his table, he said of course but they wont let yoy in...) all i m trying to say this is a big deal for jon, a last frontier of approval, so if Bon Jovi do get in jon will know earlier and will have the wheels in motion in order to prove they are relevant, keep writing new music, touring etc etc, so jon maybe is trying to line these things up

I’m in a relationship with a minister, not married. People suck because I’m introverted and people drain me of energy.... and they like to talk about politics. ��

I can get behind Nikos’ theory. I do think Jon had a reignited passion for his art.

I know it's strange, but despite everything I love Sambora, I'm eager to hear 'Jon and Shanks' next move with Bon Jovi. Now Shanks has a more general idea as a touring guitarist.

And I have another incognita: will this new album the true launch of Phil X as lead guitar in the studio?
