Yes, I do...except I don't care too much as there are plenty of us who still love what the band is doing now as well as their whole body of work. It's not me against the world on the issue. Plenty of folks feel what I feel when they listen to When We Were Beautiful. Those that don't...so ****ing what? Don't get so worked up over that...like they always say, you ruin it for yourself that way. You can't control how others will be, just how you react. You can only make yourself miserable over it.

Off to give the Circle a spin.

I think Seb being out of key is a misconception from MarcDLV and Jovi94, he pretty much nailed it. Not to mention Ice backing vocals, which were pretty damn good.
Definitely better than Bon Jovi's version, the original lacked the passion this one has to spare.

im only attacking you because i have always thought you were an arsehole (something which is easy to come to a conclusion about as your life is on this forum) and i do actually think it is terrible. you know it is and if you had enough confidence or believed it was decent you wouldt be arguing with me.

you always think that for some reason your opinion is more important than others and you play silly tricks, speak down to others in this community and generally are an arse so i get pleasure out of pissing you off, but on an honest note nobody would want to hear your voice on the radio and that is that

[QUOTE=Supersonic;972796]Aloha !



What does the size of my crowd have got to do anything with this performance? Funny how people always start to bring in other stuff just to get their point across.

Tell me where I am out of key. Tell me.

well It d be easier to point out when U are not actually!

I mean u told me I don t know when someone is on or out of tune without knowing anything about me...... Actually I have about more then 500 000 views on you tube.... been touring for all my adult life.... played in front of 75 000 ppl (biggest crowd).... So I think I know what I am talking about it s not that u re out of key that bad but u re flat almost all the time not bad but far from being a pro as u want us to think

Honestly, If the "silly tricks" and jokes and bashing and discussion weren't here on Jovitalk, it would be a pretty boring place, don't you think?

Exactly, to me it's a fan's take on what they would do with WWWB if they amped it up Last Man Standing-like from TLFR/Box set to HAND, except I actually like this more than what they did to LMS on HAND along. Get that guitar bit between the first chorus and 2nd verse and you really add a dimension that I wish the band had done as I already felt. It takes a song I consider one of their top best and gives you more. I do wish they kept at it in the studio on these same songs.

When I listen to WWWB I also think of Postcards from the Wasteland....one of the best offerings from the Bounce sessions. It was one songs like that that communicated to me that the Jon I admire was still there. However, I still feel that Post Cards deserved more work.

The best way to look at this is one can always hope that the band would get more adventurous live and start adding stuff like this. Unrealistic perhaps, but would definitely be the way to go to truly have me by the balls. Once upon a time, this band added completely new parts to Blood on Blood and Living In Sin in their live renditions that made the band's live performances to be sought out. They've gotten lazy in that manner in the last decade with most renditions being pretty much straight off the album arrangement, but showed little glimmers. Undivided's intro. Extending LMS standing a bit before Jon started the first verse, the full-stop chorus vocal following the breakdown leading. The latter was developed later on, which is how they did it in the past....

Thorn In My Side apparently has a new section, I haven't seen any clips yet. Love's the Only Rule does....... so it's looking promising this tour.

Of course, I'm not expecting them to re-arrange WWWB like this. That's where these two come in.

It's nice and accomplished but Bon Jovi could have done this if they wanted, it's just two guys and a guitar.

I stick by my story; I can do better than Bon Jovi and proved this with the recording of this song.

It's a sad thing that I get attacked on a personal level while all I did was post proof that I'm better.
Seb, there’s really no reason to comment that. You are even more self-centered, self righteous, and with such an 'I’m the King of the World and Biggest Know-It-All’ personality than I would have ever thought you might be. Maybe someday you will realize how wrong you are.

That unfortunate performance on ZDF doesn’t prove anything. It was only one bad performance if you can call it performance at all. Jon knew exactly when he failed and you could see it on his face. Moreover, I am sure Jon and Rich could prepare a much better acoustic version of WWWB than yours if only they had 10 minutes for that (because album version is already better than yours).

But I am not going to waste my time on this discussion anymore. I will rather watch amazing performances of TIMS, HT or BM from Seattle. Those are on the level that you will never ever reach.
