I think that this tour is really the beginning of the end for Bon Jovi, Why?

There's two reasons and they are closely connected to each other. First we have to aknowledge the fact that the band doesn't bother to tour countrys where the money isn't so great. Therefore they have chosen to say goodbye to the old fan base and fail to generate new ones. If they ever choose to play scandinavia or eastern europe again they are likely to find that they can't sell out even arenas.

At the same time some other bands are choosing something really different.

Iron maiden toured europe three times in five years and played crowds from 5000 to 50 000. They also played ozzfest and managed to catch more attention in usa than they never before after powerslave.

U2 does two or three rounds in usa on every tour and plays some quite small venues on secondary markets in addition to the obvious big cities. In europe they are doing mostly stadiums but even those gigs are reaching places that are economically unprofitable. Once again the reward is growth in record sales and in reneral following.

Metallica plays ewerywhere everytime and in some places they have played bigger venues than ever before. some of them in scandinavia where jovi is really a hasbeen nowadays.

We also have to remember that there's always a change to do venues of all sizes. Maiden is doing that on every tour and next summer Rolling stones is playing for 8000 people on norway and 12000 in finland. Arena gigs can be profitable even if the venue is quite small.

in conclusion:

With this short schedule that jovi is doing they are just a curiosity in the business and people are relly getting bored with those same songs that they play tour after tour.Just like someone else said here in other thread.. i don't care if i don't hear that boring bad medicine ever again. Especially when the new albums fail to offer anything new or even as good as the five first albums.
