I love it when they throw in a few covers, Bruce does it too. )

We got a few songs from These Days album on the Crush tour (in Sweden anyways) but mostly its These Days or Damned that they play.
I know Jon's said at some point that he thinks it's a very gloomy album, maybe that's why, who knows.

Yes it does set up that song rainsong...It does set up the attitude To HAND I agree .
And yes he does tease with shot ,Ive watched that more than a handfull of times.

Sambo Chris is a bit correct on that , In Europe you will get it , more often than not . I know ive seen that kind of thing happen there , I know only cause My tours started with These Days , and looking back, looing at bootlegs and remembering what setlists they were doin at the time thats an accurcate statement.

I dont know if its gotten me into diffrent artists.. Im a big music person, own a lot of types by diffrent artists ..I saw them do Peppermint Twist in Japan LOVED it on the Bounce tour , though I knew Joey Dee and the Starlighters did it first in the early 60s . ( Could it be a slight concidence that Joey Dee and co are based out of Newark NJ and played the Peppermint Lounge there? possible )

I love the original Treat Her Right by Roy Head a white Bue eyed soul guy from the mid 60s...But I got to say I love Bon Jovis version.
There are instances I love the original more than the cover or vice versa . I cant say though for every band or every cover song.


Much as though I love Bowie , and saw Heros done at the Concert For New York when he did it live , Bon Jovis is much better agreed. Saw that as well Queen in 03 , it was a nice treat.

Rockin was nice to hear , the few times I did , and it was quite good in Wolverhampton .

Break well 3 years would be ok by me ... As for Rock Hall of Fame MUCH as though ID LOVE to see them get in...it wont happen not now anyway I feel it wont.

I don't mind a few covers. I especially liked "Heroes" when they played Toronto Jan. 24. It was really nice, and I was dancing while it seemed like everyone else was standing still. It was funny because the look on most people's faces was like, "what the hell is this"?

I enjoyed it!

I donīt know how long break would be useful but some surely. I like covers, but not 3-4 during one show (instead their own songs) and like rather covers with fast rhythm, full of guitar as rockinī all over or free world, they could do more bruceīs songs maybe Aerosmith, Guns or any other,older stuff,but simply, songs that people really know all over the world and can sing...

I'm glad you mentioned Guns, because I'd love to see them do November Rain

that's not a fast cover like you mentioned, but still...love to see it
