That violin doesnt' work, if the violin wasn't there Richie would have more space to rock. She totally interups Richie solo...

Tico still rocks, I agree
It does work, though, in the context of that song. Whether you're a casual fan or a diehard, you can't fault the musicianship of anybody during the 'Any Other Day' part of that clip. Whinge all you like about people stealing Richie's thunder, that section has fans genuinally excited; and for a band which people are constantly criticising for playing by the rules, that's pretty good.

As much as we can all complain about the setlists, these guys are still playing some pretty good stuff. Setlists are a constant issue and yet check out sets from the Cross Road and These Days tours...they really aren't as mixed up as everybody assumes. I'm the first the jump on their backs for playing Sleep at every show, but things aren't that much different to 11 years ago.

We all get annoyed by the incessant pedalling of certain songs/albums, but, at the end of the day, there aren't many of us that go to a show and have too many bad words to say when we leave.

Name as many bands as you like, not many come close (in a live setting) to Bon Jovi.
