So, why since crush tour 80% of the set lists it's all 80's songs? (obviusly excluding the current album songs)

they prefer to do raise your hands and that kind of stuff and they have been completing ignoring songs like THIS AIN'T A LOVE SONG wich by the way was a hit in the US.

People in the US just recognize the band by their 80's, it's a fact, and they don't seem inconfortable with the situation for a not nostalgia band. HEHEHEHEHE.

Nikki Sixx said it right in one of the MC shows of the last tour: "THIS IS NOT A BON JOVI AUDIENCE SO F**** ROCK! "

Well - the song is not made for Richie but that's not too much of a problem (as JBJ can't sing it anymore sadly) .

The MAIN problem is that the song was

DESTROYED
SMASHED TO PIECES,
SLAUGHTERED
HACKED,
CUT INTO BITS

by the absolute annoying dumb feelingless violin solo replacing half of the guitar solo. It almost made me cry seeing one of my fave BJ songs been slaughtered to death.
If it was a coverband - well ok then. But not from the band who wrote it and performed it in a great manner before!

Damn that was the greatest musical shit I heard for ages!
I am afraid if anyone who has a ticket for an upcoming show listens to this bullcrap doesn't throw his/her ticket into the dustbin then all hope is lost. This is really sad sad sad and beyond expectations.

I promise to NEVER EVER download a single second from a BJ live show on their current "We destroy your memories" Tour 2007/2008.

Sad - have to watch London 1995 now.

What a mess. One of the greatest disasters in music is seeing BJ going downhill as fast as Slippery when wet was selling in 1986/1987. If they continue to do so they will join Warrant, Winger and Ratt on a "Rock will never stop " Tour.



... as support act. They are only a small shadow of their glorious past.


Please Please call it a day and retire NOW! The world doesn't need you to destroy your old classics.

You have the balls to talk about how Bon Jovi is destroying there legacy?
As opposed to watching an overweight, warbling Vince Neil destroy Motley's songs with vocals out of Spinal Tap?

And for the record, I do like Motley Crue.

You rag on Bon Jovi for being sell outs but you obviously haven't paid attention to pop culture lately. Motley Crue are just as big of sellouts in a different way.

Have you forgotten all the lame, sorry assed reality shows they have done? It's not just one, it's many. Tommy Lee goes to college, Rock Star Supernova, Vince Neil documenting his face-lift, Motley Crue documenting their fighting in attempt to re-unite, Vince Neil on The Surreal Life. All of this was a sorry attempt to get attention for themselves just so they could get audiences to remember who they are and come out to their shows.

So what is "Rock" about that?

Are you also not a fan of Keep The Faith with Sympathy For The Devil and the jungle screams? Or Richie extending the outro solo to Any Other Day?
