What do YOU want?

I'm posting, then reading what you guys have to say. I hope I'm not being too repetative (sp?). OK, Here's what I want. I want them to find a good rock producer. Not a pop star producer. Less ballads, but good ballads. Not the shite they've written lately and called a ballad (for example, Open All Night). Plain and simple, just some good rock music. I want them to do what they want and not what the record company says (I know that's a lot to ask, but I don't think it's impossible). I want them to start writing their own music again, just them. I want them to remember where they came from and go back to that place. I want Tico to start playing the drums in the studio again. He's awesome, use him to his fullest ability! I want them to really start listening to what the fans have to say. Not just the Backstage fans, but all of us. (Again, a lot I know, but not impossible). I don't think I'm asking too much, am I???? LOL.

Here's something else I want, and I don't know how I forgot it before. I want Richie to be more involved again. Let him do more vocals. Not a whole song, but like on Wanted or IBTFY. I miss those harmonies. Oh, and a good old fashioned guitar solo by an incredible guitarist.

lol great ideas but absolutley impossible! that will never happen again give up the hope for that and you`ll love bounce thats they way I did it it works lol

I will sencond this...and agree with most of the ideas above, just one/two good ballads, definitely more Dave. I'd love to hear another amazing LYHOM!!!

1) Start writing and playing good rock tracks not pop-rock or whatever classification you'd put TLFR under.

2) Get Bob Rock back to produce stuff again as opposed to idiots playing 'producer' like Luke Ebbin.

3) Mix up their old rare material when playing live and throw in variations like playing DRY COUNTY instead of In These Arms.

4) Tour every year!!! (just kidding - although that would be great!)

5) Let Richie play some solo stuff like Stranger in this Town or Undiscovered Soul tracks.

Keep true to themselves and really love the album.

Some lyrics that they can relate to. Not lyrics about love that you know JOn cant even relate to at all.

lyrically and musically fantastic.

A song that you cant stop listening to (as someone else stated)

Am album of diverse songs.

Put the B side on the album its likely to be the best song anyways!

There is no way I will ever love Bounce. I really like a few of the songs on it, but no way will I ever love Bounce. :P I'm a loyal fan, but I'm not deaf. LOL.

True, if they were trying to bring back what they did in the past just for the sake of it I wouldn't know what to think!

As for Richie singing - I have nothing against that... But would Jon do then? Jon's the lead singer and that's it. Plus most of the times I like Richie singing in the background.

lol thats good, I sometimes wonder where a married father of nearly 4 gets the ideas for some songs lol maybe it`s Richies story

oh yeah they should put everything they want as b-side on the album and many other songs as b-sides that would be a fantastic album

1. forget the charts. they're ruled by men in suits.

this solves pretty much every problem listed.
