I will chose the tour more than the album quality ... bon jovi is for me a BAND that shows its quality and superiority LIVE

If they don't tour your countries you're left with an album that sucks. You need a good album for a good tour. During the last tours the show fell flat when the new songs were introduced, with the exceptions of 3 songs. Hook Me Up, Bounce and Distance. Undivided only got a great crowd reaction because of the sing along ending but was played too slow to be fully entertaining. The songs from Crush didn't bother the crowd that much during the Crush tour, with only a few exceptions.
The setlists, and therefore the concerts will only get better if they start playing good new songs, and something like that can only be done with a good album. A good album makes a tour better.
To me it looks like you only care about a new album if there's a new tour. That makes it look like you don't care about the album at all, just as long as they tour. You'd just go and see them live, even if they'd play the same stuff every time again. It doesn't matter what the album sounds like, it doesn't matter what the tour will be like, you'll be buying it anyway and going anyway. Just because it's Bon Jovi? Fans like you is exactly what makes Bon Jovi think that the current way they're going is the right way...

I don't think the canceled European dates have got anything to do with the American shows. The entire European tour was canceled. We don't know the reason, maybe Jon will tell us in the future, maybe he won't. You seem to be a little bittered about them doing promo shows in the USA but nothing in Europe.

I understand what you mean, and I agree, it's unfair. I'm not complaining about them doing Holland each tour, but it's unfair to countries who haven't seen them for 10 years now while they could easily sell out concerts in India and South America. A big leg in South America would be one that would make them money, and would satisfy a lot of fans. They could do it before starting the big North American leg, and take a month or 2 rest before starting the last leg. I just don't understand why they don't do it. The fans in Brazil have been very, very loyal.
And Becky, travelling from one state to another is still cheaper (I know, it costs a lot of money!) than from India to Japan.
Salaam Aleikum,
