Onto the main event....The band looked good, and phil x seemed to fit in well with the group. I was very pleased with the setlist but would have liked to hear either amen, halleluha or diamond ring. The majority of the crowd was pleased with the setlist i think and the GC was def rocking. The band cant please everyone so of course they have to play mostly crowd faviorates or they are gonna have alot more unhappy fans then just pleasing the few that wanted rarities. I was unimpressed with the fact people snuck into the gold circle tho at least 10 people around me didnt have wristbands on which is a shame for us that paid alot of money to get the tickets. Also was shocked to see a couple next too me who had there 5 yr old with them on their shoulders were popping pills and off their face the whole concert. How irresponisble were they!!!! Phil x is certainly no richie but he was a pretty good substitute and apart from a couple of hiccups done really well i thought. We both went home very happy as did most of the people in the crowd i think. As i said they cant please everyone.

Just about the wristbands. That could just be down to piss poor organisation- at Hampden half the Diamond Circle and a large chunk of Gold weren't given their bands as they were admitted. Caused a lot of hassle. If the security/stewarding was at the same level in London, might explain it. Of course, if they really weren't meant to be there, I'd be peeved too!

Indeed, no biggie at all. Surely not what some made it to be!

Sure, Bon Jovi are capable of pleasing the masses, but I don't give a shit if the 50.000+ people at any show had a blast if I didn't. I don't start acting like a crybaby if other people did enjoy their show though, it'd be nice if you'd be capable of giving people the exact treatment the other way around. Your hostile behavior leads to nowhere but more and more people getting more and more vocal in regards to their frustrations about the shows they have and haven't seen.

Salaam Aleikum,

God, your arrogance is making you an absolute laughing stock. The sad thing is that you actually believe your own bull shit - and because you've been to lots of shows gives you the right to belittle a brilliant review - just because you can. You're frankly just being Seb. Its no coincidence that the review has had many positive replies - but you just like to argue for the sake of it. When I have more time I will find and pull out a comment from yourself directed towards me where you said something on the lines of "you can't judge a performance from a YouTube video." About a year ago. I'll find it.

So this just proves my point that you're contradicting yourself - once again not appearing for ages but on random occasions picking on someone pathetically and spewing out BS. You are a cult of personality, Seb.

How the hell can you judge a performance from a setlist? Really? And you're always right about it? I'll just give you one example. Wembley 1995. The setlist was a setlist PURELY for the masses and there wasn't anything ground breaking. Think about the raraties they could have thrown in back then - where Jon's vocal range was far better. Yet many think that Wembley 1995 night 2 was the best Bon Jovi concert ever.

Really going ballistic isn't he? I'm surprised they could still play after all that ballisticness.

bj4ever · #**546** 07-07-2013, 05:39 PM

f?%& Jon, what a douche.
Seeing that just made me want to punch him....and I'm pretty sure I've never wanted to punch anyone before.

after all Phil has done for this band recently, it's a shitty way to react.
People make mistakes, and considering the situation he's been put in this tour, frankly I thought he would of made more of them....but hasn't really.

I'm quite disappointed.

(I'm not usually the anti-jon type, but this one slightly pissed me off)

You've got issues if this pisses you off

I'm quite alright, but thanks for pointing that out, I'll see if I can get help. or not.

Maybe pissed of wasn't' the right wording, but initially while seeing his reaction, I felt embarrassed for him.
I just watched the rest of the video, and at least he moved on rather quickly.
He did, however come off like a jerk at the start.

Stop copying other's posts.

I didn't notice the Jon / Phil thing at all. I think it's worth pointing out that Jon applauded Phil quite a few times, especially after the Always outro ... just to give some balance.

Incidentally, I've now come up with a list of my ten Jovi shows (and one Richie show) from best to worst:

1. Twickenham Stadium Night 1, 27th June 2008
2. Milton Keynes Bowl Night 1, 10th June 2006
3. Hard Rock Calling Festival at Hyde Park, 25th June 2011
4. Twickenham Stadium Night 2, 28th June 2008
5. Milton Keynes Bowl Night 2, 11th June 2006
6. Hyde Park, 28th June 2003
7. British Summertime Festival at Hyde Park, 5th July 2013
8. O2 Arena, 26th June 2010
9. Richie Sambora at Shepherd's Bush Empire, 16th October 2012
10. Wembley Arena, 7th September 2002
11. O2 Arena, 17th June 2010

I agonised for ages over the order of 6, 7 and 8 (and a little over the order of 9 and 10), but I think this is pretty much right
