The Future of Bon Jovi as said by Jon

Who wants Bon Jovi to quit can´t be a real fan

it makes me too sad; I don´t want the end!
I just mean... I couldn´t live without BJ...
Don´t get me wrong, but BJ is my life....
And what´s wrong with my Avatar?!

Dont pay attention to all the Bon Jovi haters on here. I sometimes wonder what the meaning of a fan is.

There are a bunch of different things going on here....

We were talking specifically about the Listening Party and you said we forgot Life's Too Short and some other song, These Open Arms maybe. Those two songs were not part of the Listening Party.

Were they for Sex Sells specifically? Maybe but there are also a ton of others that you never mentioned either. Kidnapped An Angel, Last Chance Train, Crazy Love, and a bunch more plus songs with titles that we never heard.

Now, as far as Life's Too Short goes, there is no known studio recording of it. People think it was written for Sex Sells because it was played live in the summer of '98 by Jon's solo band, not Bon Jovi.

It's tough to define a band song verse a solo song in the demo stage without knowing exactly who played on them especially during this period because of the overlaps..... Some of these songs could be DA leftovers, songs written specifically for Sex Sells, or songs just written. Unless it's specifically defined, we'll never really know.

1. All those B-sides during Crush.... If they were released on a Bon Jovi single as a b-side but not all members played on them, are they band or solo?

2. Even though Diamond Ring was on TD but written for NJ what time period is that song from?

3. Jon wrote half the songs for KTF himself. Are they band or solo? Band right? but what if they didn't make the album, are they now solo?

4. What if Jon and Richie write a song together but during the demo stage, Richie doesn't play on it?

I'm not looking for real answers because I know the answers but my point is, it's tough to define sometimes and not as cut and dry as one would think.

Nahh,I don't think they are haters.I think they just wanna look tough and act like they don't care but deep inside they don't want Bon Jovi to end,at least not this way.They should do a farewell tour and go out in a Blaze of Glory.

You're 18. How could Bon Jovi be your life?

No, the band is not done yet. Jon still has vocal chords and with a little help and change, he could do another tour. Jon COULD actually still sing but just has no range which is needed for all his older songs.

We got two solo albums in the 90's and are due for a couple more before the band regroups. The only way Bon Jovi will end is when they could only fill theaters so don't expect it to end anytime soon.

BTY, I think some of this is done for the publicity. Both Jon and Richie could ease fans very easily by saying the right things but they choose to keep it open ended.

And so you should. Fandom is far more than just blind adoration of something.

Agree with that. But I seldom see the likes of you and a few others ever give praise to this band. It's not a slant on you as such, just an observation

Screw that, be honest people like him want the band to fail they revel in it. If I hated something so much I'd find something better to do with my time than troll the bands forum. Pathetic!

Aloha !

Yeah, if only people on here were more like you, being the true fan that you are. Never critisizing, thinking every Bon Jovi show is the best thing on the planet and no such thing as a bad Bon Jovi show or song exists. Hail to the chief.
