BJ start tour in October

I don't know when they plan to come in europe ? I think they can play Japan anytime as they do arenas over there it can be done all year long

I don't get the soccer thing ... I know it will be WC 06but is it related with the band ? I recall Chris saying that a 2006 tour in germany is almost impossible because of the world cup now it 's becoming something that will help the tour .. i am lost ....

I am expecting announcement about the release date of the cd from official sources but if I think about the tour first it's JUST because a tour has to be planned not only by the band but by the fans who plans to tour as well ...To buy a cd require less time and LESS money that doesn't mean that I am not interest in this cd ... I just KNOW I will get something worthy : it's a BON JOVI cd for God 's sake but I don't know what I will get as a tour ....

Honestly I don’t understand why the world cup should be a problem for a tour…

Lack of venues?

the stadiums for the cup are these ones
http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium...dcup2006.shtml
and there are a bunch of others stadiums in Germany…for example, in Munich, there’s the “old” Olimpiastadion, (where BJ played in 1995, 2001 and 2003) which won’t lodge no football games in favour of the new Allianz Arena.
Plus, half of these stadiums should be free after the first round of the tournament

Less audience in attendance ?
They only don’t have to play when Germany has its games…so….I really don’t see the problem…


I think the band should have more respect for the fans of East Europe, Asia, Australia and South America….I don’t think add 15 dates to visit these countries in a tour like OWN 2001 or Bounce 2003 is that big danger for their physical or mental health……come on boys, take your Gatorade, go and say “thank you” to all this people who supported you during these last 20 years and bought millions of your cds…come on…just one more time…

I think that too .. this is why I asked why is this related with Bon Jovi (good or bad ) but it seems though that some fans think there is some connections there ... if it wxas the usa maybe .. i think Jon is trying to do buysiness with his possible Soul sponsors in priority but not areana football doesn't have impact for non usa audience

That sort of sums it up for me too. I'd love a good new album and a good tour. I can't complain about lack of concerts here in NJ but I'd really like a bit of variety - not the same old - same old.
