Your Dose of Sarcasm for Today

AS OF MAY 13, 2005


Good morning cherubs!!! So nice to see you visiting our site here at http://www.bonjovi.com -- just wanted to share the very latest in Bon Jovi updates with you all. Gather round! As of now, there is still no official release date determined for the forthcoming BON JOVI record - nothing confirmed and nothing we're at liberty to discuss with you all. We understand people are genuinely excited (we are too!!!!) and we understand that it can be relentlessly confusing when band members or third parties are mentioning information that may or may not come to pass... so, since this site is the Official Bon Jovi site it makes no sense to toss around speculations. When there is a confirmed released date and we get the greenlight from the band and their managers, we'll be able to announce it officially. We promise, we're not trying to keep any secrets from you - but loose lips sink ships and if we're not allowed to share info, we're not allowed to share info. We're sure you all understand completely.

There is still no official title for the forthcoming BON JOVI album; though a band member might have mentioned a 'working title' there has been no name for the CD chosen and confirmed; again, when one is and we're given that info and the clearance to share it, it will be posted here in the NEWS section!!!!!

There is no artwork to give you a sneakpeak of yet - no photoshoots have taken place, no videoshoots have taken place, lots of behind the scenes work but nothing to share with the public just yet. We KNOW the anticipation is excruciating but the best we can offer is the platitude of 'good things come to those who wait!'

There's no final tracklisting assigned either - again, when the band and their camp give us that info and the greenlight to post it, it will be available to you all.

The band is going to tour! Of course! But when the tour will start, what types of venues, what countries, what cities, tickets, etc... we don't have that info yet (and to be honest, it's probably not finalized yet.) So we're waiting on the same info you are; when we get it along with permission to share it, it gets shared with you here.

Unfortunately, the demise of the Oompas who oversaw the QnA function is permanent. Wear a black armband if you like but there are no more. Their fans will mourn; their detractors will rejoice. Pleae do not submit any more queries to the QnA function of this site as it is suspended indefinitely. Should it return, it won't be the same function is was in the past. In the meantime, news will be in the news section, the search function still works in the Q&A section and keep looking on the bright side of life friends!

Life's too short - live it up.


P.S. The other message is deleted.

Suppose you're someone who doesn't know the background of all this. You go a search for Bon Jovi and you'll end up on the OFFICIAL website. Then you read this. These guys need to grow up, this is bad advertising for an official band site.

This is what they should have posted yesterday instead of that snotty message that got everybodys backs up!

Aren't they sweet. It's wonderful to see the band represented so eloquently.

"Band Members and third parties"... So, it sounds sort of like they think Jon should have kept his mouth shut about song titles and duets since Nashville Kat and Jimmy Carter and other reporters picked up on the duet and it went around the world. I hope they aren't under some misguided belief that Keith has been talking about the duet. He was asked about it and confirmed that it was done but that he didn't know if the song would be on the CD and hasn't mentioned it since. Wonder how Jon and Richie would feel to know that they're complicating things by opening their big mouths?

Did they give the whole site to the Oompas? What is going on over there?

That makes them look a little like puppets on strings, doesn't it? It goes to show how little in charge they are.

What's up with this new message now? Either they should have posted it like this yesterday or leave the other one be, but this just makes them look even sillier.

Are they trying to get rid of their fans or something? Recent bad albums + bad PR is not something to be proud of

there musta bin a load of complaints about the other message, either that or someone with a bit more authority read it and told their staff to catch themselves on a post a (slightly) better message.

still stinks over there tho
