Default Songs infected by violin crap
Let's draw up a list of non LH songs that have been given a bit of 'help' by Lorenza Ponce's violin. So far I've got:

Blaze Of Glory
Wild In The Streets
These Days
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Living In Sin
Blood On Blood
Right Side Of Wrong
Bed Of Roses
Shout
________
Amber trichomes

Nah, she's not on the whole set, she's just on for LH songs and those ones that I've listed.

And, i know this is off topic, but where's your quote about Richie from (yes, i know it's from Q) specifically?

She pretty much ruined the solo in These Days.

Aloha !

I'll Be There For You sung by Jon included violins too.

All those violins in the standard songs are there to "country" it up, but it failed miserably because adding violins to a song like Wild In The Streets doesn't make it sound like a country song, or country rock or whatever you want to call it. It just makes it sound shit.

I'm not against violins in a song, but they shouldn't sound like they don't belong there, which they do for all those songs.

Metallica S&M, Clapton 24 nights and I'm sure there are more examples of how rock songs with violins can still sound great. Just one violist doing her pathetic thing isn't one of those examples.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I hope someday she has to fiddle her way out of Chuck Norris' swift roundhouse!

This TRULY is a disgrace.... and I thought Metallica went overboard by making thier song crappy with a symphony, but leave it to Jovi to redefine the bottom of the bucket!

peace

What Metallica did was not making their songs crappy. They asked one of the best orchestra's in the world to make real arrangements for their songs. What Bon Jovi is asking a few friends of them to play along and just do what they feel like would be nice, resulting in the shit we heard at the Prudential.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
