Jon's voice has killed Bon Jovi

If I didn't think his vocals were still very good why oh why would I pay to hear him? And since when were you privy to what bands I've seen, other than Bon Jovi this past year?

Again, bash me all you want, it won't make me go away.

Not even if we pay you for leaving this forum? I would get a 2nd morgage to solve this .

Aloha !

She's not worth any money, even if she was standing behind glass the glass would break because of it being ashamed.

What kind of glass do you mean dude?

Aloha !

The one they use to make windows.

And what kinda answer do you expect on this???

I would love that. Thing is, they would play clubs instead of arenas and stadiums because all the "fans" who come to see Jon Bon Jovi and Band wouldnt buy tickets. That way they would make less money and therefore the band wont do it.



Personally I thought his voice was bad during Crush tour, good on OWN tour (but why?), the worst on Bounce tour and soso during HAND tour.
But then again my bootleg collection is probably a lot smaller than yours.






Now this is an objective discussion topic

I am not really sure about this one, but I think its a mixture of both. I think Jons voice could be better than it is right now if he practised more, but I dont think it could ever again be what it once was. I am just guessing obviously though.
What really puzzles me is that his voice was good during OWN tour right i between Crush and Bounce tour. I cant possibly explain this.

Aloha !

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant that his voice has been the same for the past 7 years. You are right about the tours, however, his voice was soso during the HAND tour because Jon decided not to do Keep The Faith, Someday I'll Be Saturday Night every night anymore, and did about 7 songs in the same key in the start of the shows, which is why he didn't need to stretch it that much during the HAND tour. If the HAND tour would've had the same sets as the Bounce Tour, Jon would've sounded even worse.

Another completely useless and pointless thread.

I don't think it's his vocals, it's the style. He is trying to sing the songs differently, in a jazzy, lounge, TLFR style... He thinks it's cool but I think it's crap, and it seems most of you agree.

Jon has also aged and I think they are all overworked. They need to take a break.

As everyone should realise, yeah Jons voice isn't what it used to be at all, but I still think its ''passable'' live, as the voice is only one of several components of a good live show experiance. On record (with the advantage of numerous takes in the studio etc) his voice is still very good (HAND the song for example has a great vocal with Jon's voice having some real grit to it...shame its always lost on the live version)
That video that was posted from MK last year of These Days is ok, expect for the odd high note, but I don't let this detract from the whole song and the general concert experiance for me. Its easy to over-analyze a gig, expecially afterwards by scruitinizing bootlegs and youtube videos, but I bet very few people would think ''Oh, Jons voice has killed BJ'' - sure he chickens out on high notes here and there, and strains at the odd high note but I dont really care, its a given fact of a live performance.

I know, having seen acts such as Aerosmith, Queen with Paul Rodgers, U2 and Maiden all within the last couple of years that there are far better live vocalists out there of similar age to Jon. But I guess theres still something I dig hearing JBJs voice singing my favourite songs, and unless he actually truely begins to loose the voice, then I'm not too worried as I know the live shows are always good.

EDIT:
Check out this - this is someone who has well and truely lost it in the vocal department, and this is taken from the new official live DVD from the last tour. Makes me sad, as I'm a huge Meat Loaf fan, but I can admit that his voice is totally shot nowadays. At least Jon can still sing in time to the music.....!
