Or maybe it's all a big misconception and Bryan Adams isn't the support act but the new lead singer and Jon only plays rhythm guitar and sings backing vocals in a muted mic

That'd actually be perfect. That way he can work the crowd, smile and wave all the time and we'd still have good vocals on top of that

i'm going to be provocative now....what if jon himself decides to step aside, just from the vocals, and let do the job to someone else (maybe chris daughtry)? still writing his songs and still with the same band, just vocals....would u go to a concert like this?

And it doesn't matter if Bryan is allowed to use lights or videos. He would even kick Jon's ass by playing acoustic without PA in the afternoon sun.

I like the combo. If they tour Europe together as well (what I don't think will happen) I might consider buying a ticket for a Bon Jovi show for the first time since 2013.

Correct.

The guy just needs an acoustic guitar and his voice.

He has an impressive energy. and his performances are great, Jon is going to look very lame.

And his band sounds tight, Bryan keeps holding Keith Scott, and Bon Jovi doesn't have Richie, which is another point against him.

I'm glad somebody mentioned Keith Scott...he's a fantastic guitar player and hugely underratted!

Theres no way Jon is a better frontman nowadays than Bryan or BJ puts a better show than Bryan.
NO WAY.
Bryan is in an awesome moment,he sings even better than in the 80's,and in his shows he does a part that any BJ fan would kill for a similar moment at a BJ show.
He does a 3 or 4 song request set where they can play any song you ask for,cause Bryan,Keith Scott and Mickey Curry are together for over 30 years.
Ive seen BJ and Bryan last year.
Bryan show was one of the best ones Ive ever seen
BJ show at Madrid was,probably,the worst show Ive ever been to.

I've seen both last year as well, and here's my rank from best to worst:

1. Bryan Adams Milan
2. Bon Jovi Wembley
3. Bon Jovi Zurich

No one wants remember that show, get over it.

Same here, saw both last year. After the Bryan Adams concert I was impressed with how good he and the band are live. Especially the part where it's just him and the acoustic guitar. Awesome.

I saw Bon Jovi in Klagenfurt which was one of the better concerts on the tour. It was more of a check on the bucket list. I wasn't expecting much so I wasn't disappointed but it was bad. Luckily I was near the stage where the crowd were louder than Jon so the atmosphere was great but during the slower songs where the crowd is not as loud, it was awful. Richie was also greatly missed. Phil X is a great guy but he's nowhere near Richie at his prime or close to his prime. There wasn't any of the magic left so I don't think I would go see another Bon Jovi show in the shape and form they are now.

I'm glad I saw Richie in 2014 in Munich. He was past his prime but there were some moments where the magic was still there.

It will be interesting to see how fans react to Jon after Bryan's performance.

My problem with it is that if their idea of a comeback strategy is to show that they can OUT-rock Bryan Adams, it doesn't speak well for what's going to be on the album. But I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the band's idea: Bon Jovi's A-list days are very much behind them.

The bar has been lowered, and now it's been buried: welcome to Fat Elvis-stan, Jon!

P.S. Adams, a Canadian, is skipping two of the shows -- one in Las Vegas; the other in, uh, Canada.
