Official May 6th 2011-Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY thread

Wow. I was wondering that at the Montreal show. They gave away a bunch of Jovi swag and one items was a Habs jersey signed by the members of the band. I mean, obviously, they could have received the jersey on the last trip to Montreal and signed it then, but I did ask Captain.Crash "hey, do you think Richie signed?"

Terri, I have to say, you seem more bummed out than anybody. I've checked out some videos. Phil X is good, there is no doubt. AND, I agree it's not the same. But I'm bound and determined to enjoy my show in Milwaukee.

Besides, with all the hubub about Richie, everyone has missed the biggest story: Jon cut his hair REALLY short! LOL. Kidding, people. Only kidding.

I would never usually chime in on this, but I hate it. He should have it like he did during the o2 shows / Australian leg.

Look...we're all ACTUAL fans of the band and not just lovers of Jon so it's okay to talk about it.

Jon's hair is shit. Go back to the 'Bounce'/'Have A Nice Day' tour man and have the swept blonde hair. It looked fine then.

You're not wrong. I am really bummed. And I have a lot of friends who are as well. The first ones to do shows will be there tonight and tomorrow. I don't go to my first show until next Saturday. I don't know, maybe dreading it will be worse than the reality. We'll see. I'm definitely going to try my best to enjoy it. Who wants to spend a bunch of money to have a bad time? As everyone around here knows, I'm no music expert. The show as a whole means a lot to me, since I'm not knowledgeable enough to get lost in the nuances of the music. I love taking my pictures, and that's going to be really different. A lot more solo pics, and a lot less interaction between band members. I'm also a sap, so . . .

Enough of that. On to the hair! Just another thing to be pissed about! I hate it that short!

The problem is, his hairline has clearly changed in the last couple of years. The cut he's got now is essentially the Bon Jovi equivalent of a combover. It's cut short and styled that way to minimise the appearence of his receedo. Maybe he'll have a transplant during the next break and come back with the Bounce style!

You're probably right, but if I'm honest...I was most devastated when Tico got his hair cut!

Tico's hair short is fine. To the point and cool. But that slicked back style with huge sideburns on the 'Have A Nice Day' tour was just fantastic. What a cool man!

Tico is just made of cool. There's no other man who could have made those side burns and lip/chin beard (or whatever the fcuk you call that) look cool. Not even Elvis could pull of the sideburns.

thank you terri and luce for the confirmation about lorenza ...
I thought she was kinda fun on her fb twitter page telling her 'supporters' let's meet AFTER my act at the bar .... I know it's seated and there is some time off to prepare the stage but it was like implying her supporters are expected to miss bon jovi and drink with her at the bar ... LOL

Oh I agree there. In terms of his drumming, too...his work isn't as complicated as some would hope yet he makes it look fantastic. Whereas the hard stuff he pulls of, he makes it look easy. Top quality drummer who doesn't need to overdo things to get the job done but can also perform very well in challenging areas.

I love Tico haha!
