Default What's worse?

Aloha !

Well, what is? We all know Jon, err, the band fired Alec because of his many mistakes during concerts, but what about mr. Jon Bon Jovi himself? The person who's the front man of the band, who every notices during every show, and who makes more mistakes during a show than anyone else of the band.

So what in fact is worse? Alec missing a few notes during a show (not that I actually have heard any except for the Blood On Blood one, and some Argentinian show) or Jon Bon Jovi who is off key a lot of times nowadays, and just forgets the lyrics of his songs?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

The second one...no doubt about it. The worst thing is him keep on saying that he can use his voice better nowadays...bah.

Hey Sebastiaan, news about your site?

Jon-option, no doubt about it. As a frontman, he should be giving his best every night, not just walk through a show. Like said before, its not only about missing few notes, but overall performance.

You know, everybody knows that Jon is not at the top of his game at the moment. On this issue, you have pretty much unanimous support on this board. So why do you need to keep going on about it? I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with being critical about the band, I'm all for balanced discussion, but a post like this serves no purpose. It doesn't say anything you haven't said before many times, it's just mean spirited. You know you're going to win the poll...so what? You can chalk up another victory in your war against Jon? Just seems like a waste of time to me.

It's not meant to be a victory for me, but what I really mean is that the excuse Jon gave for the reason Alec got fired is pretty pathetic by now. He blames Alec for doing something that Jon himself is doing as well but then in an even worser way.

Well first of all let me humbly beg your forgiveness for wasting your time, nothing could have been further from my intent.

And the point of this post seems to be to show Jon up in as negative a light as possible, as a poor front man and a hypocrite. That's Seb's intention, people voting for the Jon option seems to validate that opinion, ergo Seb wins, and Jon is left a defeated, broken man.

First of all, I'm sure Jon doesn't care what's written here. If he did, he would've done many things differently. As to Seb "winning", looks like it's pretty much just your opinion.

ergo?? come on man.
I don't think Jon reads this and if he does I don't think he will be that broken about the topic.
Thanks for the laugh though.

Back on the topic(just a little off)
Wasn't Alec fired because of the magazine article where he critized Jon and told them that he will not be maiking the record with BJ this time??
That he had no desire to??
I don't know man but if it was my band, and a member didn't want to record with it, plus went public talking sh1t about me and f'ed up live I'd fire him to. I'm just being a little comprehensive here, and that kind of attitude would harm the whole band not just the leader of it.
I do wish Jon would stop f*cking up the notes at shows though.
Bad Name is not that hard to sing, hit the damn notes.

Hey, ergo is a word, and I'll use it if I want to! If I want to be pompous and old fashioned, then dammit that's my call!

And yes, thank you for the clarification Ice, I do realise Jon probably doesn't read these boards, wouldn't care about what he read here if he did, and I promise never to be sarcastic in the future.
