But as for the singer...He's certainly better than Jon has ever been. He's capable of nailing In These Arms in the original key, meaning not tuned down half a step. The same goes for everything else. I don't think Jon was ever capable of doing so, not even while recording In These Arms. Always, Good Guys, In These Arms, all sung better than Jon ever could.
They're pretty much the only band capable of nailing the songs Jon just can't sing anymore, and the guitarist is getting better as well. He'll always be sloppy, but then again, Richie used to be on another level, really. And think about it, they're a cover band. Cheaper gear and all of that. I kind of wonder what Bon Jovi would sound like through their amps, mixed by their people, if you know what I mean. |
Yeah, I know what you mean, and they'd probably still sound a bit better, because they've been playing those songs for years and years more, but still, Bounce is a great effort.
I think I'm starting to realize what bugs me about the singer. He's really great, his voice sometimes is similar to Jon's and could be more often, if he dropped that freaking accent he has. It give me the creeps. It sounds like a mixture of German school English with some other accent he seems to find cool, but sounds nothing like a Jersey/NY area accent, which is what he'd have to go for it they want to cover/copy BJ perfectly. Then, I think I could *really* enjoy them!
