Like I said in one of the other threads, I see Bon Jovi the same way I do with Liverpool FC. When Liverpool have a bad game or even a bad season (like last and this season) do I stop supporting them? No chance. Why? Because I am a fan. It'd be an unbelievable feeling to see Liverpool win the league again. Something I have never seen before and after being so close a couple of seasons ago, it now feels a million miles away. That doesn't mean I will stop supporting them, though. They could get relegated and I would still support them.

Bon Jovi aren't the band they used to be as we all know but they still give me some of the greatest memories. 2013 tour was a pretty weak one, let's be honest, but I still had a great time at Manchester show. Couple of changes in the set list, better vocals than a lot of other shows on the tour I felt, bit of energy etc..

2008-2011 was probably my favourite time of being a fan. Don't get me wrong, I am not the biggest fan of LH (I know that was 2007) but the tour blew me away. I absolutely LOVED the PBP's on here. I also loved that Jon went out of his comfort zone with some songs. Although it was the first tour where I felt we seen the change of Jon as a front man with less movement (may have just been my opinion) I still absolutely loved it.

The 2010-11 tour was just as good. Lots of rare songs, the o2 PBP's were excellent because of the amount of songs they done & again, the whole band sounded great and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

It's been a pretty crap few years as a fan. 'What About Now' was a huge let down. I still say it but some of them songs had HUGE potential. I remember listening to it for the first time and I liked it. Moments like the outro in 'Pictures Of You', the whole of 'That's What The Water Made Me' and a couple of other bits really made me smile. Then I put it on again and I already started realizing just how weak the album was. That was the word I kept using to describe it. Weak. Had the potential but it was weak.

Then the tour. Shambles from the first show. Again, still some brilliant moments at times but a lot less than any other AND obviously, no Richie.

'Burning Bridges' is a really good album for what it is, in my opinion. Some brilliant song on it I think. I love the rasp in Jon's vocals in a lot of the songs and it has made me realize that somewhere in them is another great album. I know it.

I won't give up on the band. I think a lot of my change with the band is my age too. I was so young as a huge fan and things like vocals, lyrics etc... didn't bother me. It was only until maybe 2008 that I realized just how important things like that are. Just maturity I guess.

Bon Jovi have given me some of the best days and nights of my life. For 15 years out of my 22 years of living, I've been a fan. I listen to them every day still. Check up on the latest news every day. I even have my own Bon Jovi twitter page!!

I have made some incredible friends through this band too. Some who will be friends of mine forever.

Take each album and tour as it comes. It's hard but let's try and not compare them to the previous.
