And this not only at Always, I got a self-recorded CD on which you can hear people sing at nearly every song. So this is trash what you said.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the second song - but someone mentioned Always above. IML and Always are THE two songs. And remember - I did not say that nobody was doing nothing, did I? I just said I hate those people who tend to behave like that... And believe me - I had a very good point to observe the reaction of the audience.

About the CD - good thing, but would not proof anything unless you made a soundboard recording (you know, directly from the system). Otherwise you can hear only people standing around you.

I don't really understand this thing about screaming girls/teenagers. It might have been true on TD tour 95/96 when most of the audience in the first 5 rows were girls. But on Crush & OWN tours I was even amazed how many guys there were, even in the very first row!! And the girls were not teenagers, either, I think BJ is no teenagers band anymore, at least not in Finland. Jon even said in Finland '00 that "It seems like all the little girls have grown up" or something like that. The girls might have been the same but they were 4 years older than last time. But I've only seen concerts in Finland & Sweden, that might be different in the European continent or elsewhere in the world. But I have to admit that most of the guys in the front in Sweden were Finnish

And someone stated that some of the girls are there just because of Jon's look. I don't think anyone would do that. I have to confess that I'm guilty myself for screaming when Jon enters the stage or smiles or does something special. But that doesn't mean that I'm only there for Jon's look!!! I'm there for the music that the BAND plays (and sings of course ).

One thing I don't like (besides the end of the concert) is that the security guards are sometimes so ***. The fact that you have queued for 18 hours doesn't assure that you get in the front row. That's one thing I really hate!!! I queue because I want to have a good place (good is only in the first row if you are 154 cm "tall") and if I loose it for some *** security guard... I've been lucky this far, been in the front row in every concert but I'm so afraid every time!

What do I hate about Bon Jovi shows?

1. Queueing.
2. Not knowing whether NN hours of queueing will actually get you a front row spot or not -- you only know it once you're inside.
3. Rude fans. In other words, those who pick fights with other fans, those who jump the queue, those who bite others or exercise any kind of physical violence on their fellow fans, those who try to pull you off the barrier if you've been lucky enuff to get there in order to get to your spot. Etc etc etc. (All this has happened either to me personally or to my friends...)

Me and my friends have joked about it that we have the same attitude towards touring as the band themselves do -- the 3 hours Bon Jovi are on stage are heavenly, but practically everything else sucks big time. LOL.

Do you really think so?
but when you compare the Wembley tape with the Zurich tape I think there were more teenage girls at Zurich then at Wembley.

I certainly have yet to experience the screaming young girl phenomona.

Apart from at a Papa Roach Gig I got roped into

1. Sleep When I'm Dead. This song has to retire from the live set. Like, RIGHT NOW.
2. Closing the main set with Bad Medicine/Shout medley. This is getting too old.
3. Wanted Dead Or Alive and You Give Love A Bad Name should go. They probably won't since they were big hits.

I realize that there are people in the concert who want to oogle on Jon. That's the price for being a pretty boy These people don't bother me. They paid money to get in, they can enjoy whatever they can (provided it doesn't involve taking advantage of other concert goers, like moshing or shit like that)

2)The guys used to have a powerful,energyzing show.Their shows have become weaker since ALec left.
3)HUGH McDONALD.HE may be a good bass player but he is as boring as a stone too watch at live shows.I don't like him at all(at least live)!!!
Well you've got a point there.. Hugh is a great bassplayer, but i miss something live. He's standing cool doing his thing, but i miss the 'entertaining' element that Alec had. I know we're living in a different era (so big pink bass guitars are out ) But I agree that Hugh could be a bit more 'entertaining' live.

P.s Is it just me or is Huge singing more backup vocals on the new Bounce tracks (live)?

There is really nothing about the show that I dislike. However, parking is always a pain, because of the huge crowds. Also, ordering your tickets is a problem because so many people crash the online sites. It is very hard to get good seats too, because there are so many reserved VIP seats.

Ok, so he isn't very 'entertaining'. But if he was an official member (I don't want to start the whole 'Hugh-official member' thing off again) he'd surly be more 'entertaining' because he'd be payed to do that. But he's only payed to play good music and that's what he does.
