LeaJovi, you and anyone defending your post are the lowest form of mankind. My sympathy to superkid on the tragic loss of your friend.

Won't be PBP if this conversation stays how it goes

1. That's What The Water Made Me
2. You Give Love A Bad Name
3. Born To Be My Baby
4. Raise Your Hands

For those who have seen it, how is Water as an opener?

I wasn't exactly close friends with him, but we've talked a lot over the years and I've known him well since the 6th grade. To be honest I wasn't exactly shocked when I heard the news as he was visibly depressed and he sadly didn't have much going for him in life. It was still very sad to hear though, and his last facebook status ever was "Gonna go see Bon Jovi on the Because We Can tour, it's gonna kick ass. — at Xcel Energy Center.", before taking his life three days later.

That was a mean comment, but I'll just assume that you didn't mean wrong by it. Now on to the pbp. I hope I didn't make you guys too depressed.

Underwhelming. No one knows it, and the jam at the end is good, but not for an opening song. The only reason the crowd screams for the first minute is because the band is on stage. Realistically the band could open with any song and have a good reaction.

Crowd isn't as loud as Bad Name, that's a given depending on size of "average to several hit" jovi fans.. to me, It flows great almost like Happy Now from The Circle as an opener..... Bad Name starts like the Circle tour with the long note hold and hits after That's What The Water Made Me

You are pretty naive if you think that is the lowest form of mankind. Get out of the tupperware you live in.

Oh please, I hope Whole Lot of Leavin' isn't next.
