Although it's been great having the Goo Goo Dolls open for the shows, and although I can't deny that they have good material and they have good stage presence, I want to know if I'm the *only* one who would perhaps not mind seeing another band? Again, I do NOT not like the Goos by any means... But I know a lot of their material, especially their hits. Am I the only one who would like to see a lesser known band open for Bon Jovi?

And by lesser known, I don't mean a local band who doesn't even have a record contract. I mean, a type of band who's in the same stage that Bon Jovi was during their first two albums. I always liked to be introduced to new and possibly GOOD material. Plus, if a band like that go to open for Bon Jovi, it might do WONDERS for their career... or at least get their name out there. Bon Jovi is so HUGE, they could sell out a show REGARDLESS of who opens for them anyway.

I did not attend any of the shows during the OWN tour but I have been told that SR71 was a great band and great choice for a support act. I have never even HEARD of SR71, but this is exactly my point. I'm pretty curious to find out what they sound like since I have heard good reviews so I might go and download a few of their songs. Who knows, I might have another favorite band to add to my list.

So, while it's great to have such a big band like the Goos to open for Bon Jovi, I would also not mind being introduced to something new. Does anyone agree?

BTW, I don't expect BJM to read this and take this into consideration, I'm just stating my opinions.
