I love Jon but....

You'll have to tune in tomorrow to find out.

Yikes yea, not good!!

I'll set my Tivo.

I typed Tico at first. And then three more times when I tried to fix it.

I could just tell Tico to record it for me. He might be too busy with his young women, though.

Maybe that wasn't the greatest solo, but Jon can play guitar solos still. For example on Crush tour live in Zurich, I love that outro of Two Story Town and thats not the only one.

that's just some riff he plays over and over again. it's a piece of piss to play for even the least accomplished of guitarists.

someone should keep jon away from the electric guitars; he should stick to singing and playing the acoustic guitars...LOL...though he does sound better than when my sister plays it....*shatter*....love the soap opera preview...i'll be sure to watch.

of course it's not a trade off. Jon wants to play some guitar and of course he is allowed to do so(although he can't play guitar therefore he shouldn't be allowed to play guitar). On the other hand, it's a good laugh in the end, so why not?

On the point Becky made about Jon being a better frontman: that's DISCUSSABLE. Read any reviews of any of the European shows. Everybody considered I'll Be There For You one of the major highights of the shows. The others are DRY COUNTY (which definitely rocked because of Richie kickin' butt and not really because of Jon reading from a sheet) and These Days (where Jon did a fabulous job in Munich). In any case, what do you base your comment that Richie knows Jon is the "better" frontman on Becky? I am sure Jon said several time that if he let Richie sing he would lose his job. I don't think Richie EVER mentioned(not even joking) that if Jon played the solos he had to leave the band.

This tour I saw a Richie Sambora who was a better singer, a better guitar player and at some points even a better entertainer than Jon Bon Jovi. All this with a broken shoulder and a divorce going on. I am sure that most of the people who were there for rock 'n' roll and not for Jon's ass would agree with me. I realized it's not about liking a member more than another one. It's nothing subjective, it's as factual as it can be: Richie Sambora is in a different class than Jon Bon Jovi. At least Jon tried to make up for it(as opposed to the Bounce tour) and he was getting closer. I can imagine now how it actually was to see them on the These Days tour.

Richie lets the music talk, which for the true rock enthusiasts and die hard bon jovi fans is what counts, but that' doesn't make him a good front man.

Talent, I'm afraid, has nothing to do with being a good front man.

Jon is a better frontman, he has that intangible "it" factor, Richie doesn't have it. Richie knows now and knew 22 years ago that he didn't have it, that's why he signed on as the guitarist for BJ instead of pursuing a solo career. Richie is an amazing guitarist, and i love to hear him sing the song or two a show but A whole show of him singing???? I think not.

No no, Richie will NEVER be a better frontman than Jon.
You might discuss Jons guitar-skills or his voice but when it comes to entertaining and crowd-pleasing, Jon might be the no. 1 of the world!
However, that´s just my opinion.
