Another Richie Gig with other artists Sept4

Good. Whatever it takes to get back on road. Nothing compares to a Jovi show. Hopefully 2012 brings us a couple "one offs" to appease us. These days any tour is pretty easy for them (6-8 weeks on and another 8-12 off) etc.....

Great performance. His voice isn't what it used to be, but he sounds really good in this one. He looks fit too.

I would be lying if I didn't admit to getting a little excited at the thought of them writing new songs. I guess it is because I still mainly listen to the Bon Jovi that I like (Faith, These Days, Crush and the better 3 or 4 songs from every other album before and after). But it didn't take long for me to remember the four songs on the GHs and the majority of the Circle and the majority of Lost Highway didn't excite me.

So maybe they are just writing sessions... maybe they are writing 40-50 songs again for a record. Remember those days?

They are the best live band on the planet when they want to be. But my loyalty to the band is because of the songs. I know it wouldn't make them as much money$$$ but I wouldn't mind them focusing on quality songs and recordings of those songs for a couple of studio albums before touring again. You know, try different things and not have to worry about if the songs would hold up for a stadium show.

...I think this might be a good poll
