after green day jovi have a lot to live up to . . . .

I think you're totally wrong on that score. Whenever I listen to Jovi I listen in terms of seeing them live. These songs will ALL sound better live, I'm sure of it.

I think the key problem is that the BJ shows recently have lacked any energy and that transfers into the songs.
I thought that live version of We Weren't Born to Follow outside the new Meadowlands sounded shocking. The album version is way better.

I can see maybe 4 tracks being performed from this album and then the usual Greatest Hits package....

They did sound rusty at the Meadowlands show, but it is a new song - and they probably haven't practised it - BJ don't really practise much. I'm expecting it will get a lot better.

I think you'll see several dates where the entire album is played, and I'd expect otherwise you'd probably be right at about 4-5 songs, because that's kind of enough from any new album. Though I'd be happy to hear these a lot more.

I've seen Jovi 7 times and saw Green Day for the first time on Halloween - Always wanted to see them, and i have to say i wasted more energy in one Green Day gig than i did at my entire 7 Jovi shows. i love Jovi to pieces and they will always be number 1.....but Green Day....are just immense live!!!!

You've just described me the first time I saw Jovi. And now look at where I am! (aka geeking out with you fine people and holding tickets to two shows on the same tour).

There are a LOT of really good acts out there, but not a single one has ever come close to Bon Jovi's live show for me. That's what hooked me - it's why I'm here. And it'll take a LOT for anyone else to show them up

I was at my first GD concert last months. Front row, lol! What an experience! Never thought they would be so immense live. Perfect voice of BJA although he was running all the time. People came up on stage, singing and playing songs. Kids involved. And before you know what´s going on, BJA jumps into the audience. GET YOUR ASS UP, THIS IS NOT A ****ING RADIOSHOW! Loved it! I love Bon Jovi, but right know I would decide to go for GD in Wembley instead of Bon Jovi.

Greenday are a bunch of hyperactive Midgets who sold out years ago.

I'll wait for The Busted reunion tour.

I saw Green Day on Friday in Wien and it was great. Unbelievable energy for 3 hours. I like Bon Jovi a bit more than Green Day but I think Bon Jovi must play excelent to be good as Green Day. I haven´t seen Bon Jovi yet but I hope they will be so good
And one more positive thing on Green Day concert - ticket only for 47 euros, and I´ve been so close!

I saw Green Day in 2005. They were pretty good, but not half as good as Bon Jovi. I saw U2 the next week, making the Green Day show lame on comparison.
