It's possible.
I think it was mentioned at bonjovi.com message board that he visits "message boards" in plural form. Naturally, if it's not bonjovi.com, it us.
And we're pretty damn entertaining if you ask me.

This is probably the easiest way to get feedback from the fans so I think they´d be stupid if they´re ignoring what fans are writing about them. I know Metallica is checking regularly their board.

i think they'd get the most honest opinions here. We're all very blunt and to the point about our opinions. Most here very much about the music rather than the superficial stuff. So Jon, if you're out there...


AHHHHHH!!! I LOVE U!!! YOU'RE SO HOT!!



kidding

I think Jon does check the board, but i doubt he will visit this site. After-all, DC is "only" a fan site, however popular it is.

He probably only checks backstagejbj.com and bj.com message boards.

All the board are the same anyway, everyone wants more songs from the "Black" album These Days.

Bring "One Wild Night" back too, if anyones reading, that hasnt been played at all yet and it was the opening song for all the shows last time around.

I don't. I could very happily go through a whole tour without hearing a single song off the album. I do like the title track played live, but it's not like I "want" to hear that...

I could live my life perfectly happy without ever hearing a single track from that album live again...

i could too.... IF they were playing more stuff from KTF or the first 4 albums to compensate

Jon won't check the message boards personally (at least not regularly - he might be an occasional visitor) - Thierry upped a little speech from Japan where he was talking about the fans complaining on the websites and played in these arms (as if that is a rare song)...

personally i think it would be cool if jon visited these boards because despite people's passionate arguments, they do all like the band for one reason or another and are more honest than on backstage/BJ.com etc... where it may as well be heavily censored (if it isn't already - i never post on there just read sometimes)...

perhaps the problem with 2000/2002 is that the band are only hearing "yes-men" in record companies and management etc telling them what they are doing is amazing and the best stuff they have ever done, then they check the official message boards and hear the same things...

good or bad songs - the crowd at a concert will cheer rather than boo

so they have the impression it's what everyone wants - and while i know many do... some don't - and it's at least good if the band knows this so they can decide what to do themselves...

david coverdale, glenn hughes amongst many others communicate with their fans personally, and at the concerts talk to them on a name basis because they communicate so often and are genuinely "friends" - while coverdale's MSG board is very "i'm a yes-man" in person people tell them the honest truth and they genuinely do what ever the fans tell them to do... they are performers, they have pride in all the albums they do...

i don't see it as an insult to say the band should play homebound train instead of captain crash - because i am actually complementing them on how brilliant a song homebound train is and how well-recorded and excellent the musicianship is on it...

Seems like someone's been watching us. A quote from www.bonjovi.com Q&A:

Question:
Has Luke Ebbin got a website? I need to ask him to explain himself on a few things. Thank you in advance.
asked by krb102 on Monday, February 17
Answer:
Not that we're aware of. (But if you want to bash Luke, or anyone else, take it to the message boards where this type of nastiness is more common. We keep the bar a bit higher at the QnA - be gone.)
