Let's imagine this:

You're 15, and you're dad is never home. Your birthday, your graduation, etcetera because he is touring to please some assholes in a fan board.

With time maybe his family got sick with this. That justify his trip with his daughter to Europe, maybe it was planed way before since they're suppoused to be doing a break. Then, your "boss" call you up one day and says he's tired of his vacation in Bahamas and he'd releasing another record/tour.

Honestly, if I was him, after 30 years touring, I'd tell my boss to suck my dick. But hey, if I was his son, I would do the same.

Agreed. It's nice to have something extra musically than the same old tired Jovi recipe. Lyrically I appreciate some honesty and rawness which we haven't really had from the band since 1995.... unless you count Whole Lot of Leavin'.

Like everyone else, I would love to know what happened?

(I was also able to get a little hand touch from Richie, I looked straight in his eyes, again - he appeared to be genuinely excited/happy.) The only reason I'm writing this reply is because the entire band seemed to be on the same page, and thrilled to be together playing a show, it had never been more obvious, at least for me.)

On a side note, the last time that I checked, the only Richie cam pic still on his Twitter feed was of this show. Interesting or not...

Sad to hear that R is doing the fashion/mall thing, really weird.

I'm sure they were. It only takes one thing to kick off something that could of been going on for years.

I remember before 'What About Now?' came out, I was saying something wasn't right with Jon & Richie as were a couple of others and then when the 'Because We Can' video came out and we seen them with their arms around eachother etc... it changed my mind slightly. Obviously, a lot of this was fake and just for the cameras.

I want a Jon solo album. I'm sure if he put his heart into it and didn't go for the radio friendly hit, he could pull off something great.

I'm 18, my dad's been away for a lot of my life 'cause he does Business Development which involves taking his company into new markets and either setting up shop or starting a joint venture or acquisition. He's on the road at least 4 days in a week but when he gets a break he takes my mother and I on vacations, sometimes just me for bonding but it's quite tough as I'm not used to having him around so often and after our trip, he's back for a day before heading on the road again. I guess you get used to it.

And yet this 15 year old has an awfully good life thanks to the proceeds of pleasing these assholes on a fan board, so that argument is total nonsense. If the old man has to go to work, then he has to go to work to pay the bills like the rest of us in this world. Plenty of kids have parents away on work, split up or dead.

If he wanted the time off so desperately he could have spoken with Jon like adults to sort it out rather than ended up in the stupid situation pissing away 30 years of goodwill.

And apparently he and his kid have no problem with him still being gone, only this time for a fabric promotion tour. Oh wait, free clothes for her.
