Would you have bought tickets for this tour? I guess we all knew they wouldn't be anything great as Jon can't seem to write an interesting set list to save his life, but the ones on this tour have been absolutely pathetic. The selection, order, everything.

Well, that didn't take long.

I haven't bought tickets for more than half of the shows I intend to go to. If the shows in Europe are shit as well I just won't go.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I wish Jon wouldn't bail on the new songs so fast. Why does he still play Sleep and ILTT?

Some of that is still true. The music ain't the problem. It's the goddamn set lists. I've tried to accept it, but I can't. They're just getting worse.

But thanks for being Seb. The one constant we can all always count on around here.

Ditch those 2 as well as WLOL for I'm With You, Pictures of You and With These Two Hands. I'd be cool with that.

Because at this point he just wants to get through the show.

Mix in Blood, ITA, Always, a new new song (Pictures), dump a couple others and we'll be good. Bring back LTOR too.

Last time I checked the setlists consist of the music, unless Jon started doing nothing but motivational speeches or telling bad jokes?

The one constant we can always count on is you either being very much "Stop hating on the band" or be the exact thing you were bitching about earlier. It's as if you've got a bipolar disorder as you're constantly going up and down about things involved in Bon Jovi land. Someone else slams the band? Danfan must hate on that person. Danfan finds out he agrees about it a week later? Danfan must post about his frustrations countless times, ignoring how people pointed these things out earlier. It makes it hard to take your opinion serious anymore, because who knows how you feel about this a week from now? Considering how you currently seem to be in your down period you've got something to look forward to though.

So yeah, there's that. Now let us all proceed in talking on how the current setlist could be improved. The one who posts his first dream setlist/improved setlist gets to be crowned King of the Topic©®.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Like Seb said, the setlist contains Bon Jovi songs.

Perhaps strangely on this forum, I happen to like Bon Jovi songs.

Whilst I certainly like some songs better than others and would rather hear some over others live, I would rather go and see Bon Jovi live rather than say, Nickelback, whose songs I don't like at all.

Now if a Bon Jovi setlist was filled with Nickelback songs, I probably wouldn't buy a ticket.

I'd still go. I've never had a bad time at a Bon Jovi concert, even when I was sick and didn't feel like being there, the band put on a great show and I enjoyed it.
