Pissed Off

I just read through some of the reviews on backstage as well. Saw someone said in Bad Rx instead of "I gotta do it again" Jon said in a very annoyed way "I gotta do it one more ****ing time." I am shocked! Whatever Jon's problem was the fans were not to blame. I feel really bad for those people who only got to see this show because it sounds so disappointing. Yes the guys are only human but your reputation is on the line every single show. They are usually such professionals. On the Bounce tour I saw the guys in Albany the day after David's dad died and I was extremely impressed with the quality of the show and how professional the band was by not cancelling the show. You would think if they could get through a show at a tough time like that they would be able to overcome whatever was going on at Hull.

Yup, I got the impression that Prayer was sung with the same "I gotta do it one more ****ing time" attitude, as well.

Oh shit, that is just terrible!! I wonder if anybody had the heart to tell the poor fool afterwards what he'd said? LOL

I think she redeemed herself afterwards, she actually mentioned Bon Jovi as a band. Can't remember exactly.

Yeah deffo. I had a really good spot last night but only took around 15 pics of Jon becos he looked so frigging miserable all the time and didnt even look at the crowd. All I can think now is how the opening night in dusseldorf and this shambles exactly one month later, were such a contrast. I hope those posts stay on backstage and Jon reads every single one of them.

Daft bint from viking fm, well that's nice isn't it? For a slip of the tongue that I didn't actually notice and was just a mistake?

Still think everyone's being way too harsh. Jon's attitude aside, everyone local that I've spoken to and everyone calling into viking fm has said 'bon jovi were amazing' or something to that effect. Yes, and you might say, these are the first-timers etc, but so what? They're listening to the music, plain and simple. Maybe the diehards over-analyse everything instead of just enjoying the music for what it is.

An apology is needed, I feel. It'll never happen, but don't expect that sort of performance from any front man. I just thought back to the little support band, they absolutly played their arses off, worked really hard to get the audience going, no body took any notice. But, Jon comes on stage with no interaction with anyone and still gets his applause.

It really does seem like this show let alot of people down. Thats a fair enough call too. People know what BJ are capable of and why should they expect anything less. Yes people do take into account sickness and exhaustion but a out and out bad mood with temper tantrum enacted onto the audience is not something that should be tolerated. Imagine if that was the show you chose to go too.. god I would be dissapointed as well. Hopefully Jon addresses the issue and returns to good form for the rest of the tour.

I should have been at Wembley last weekend *sobs* None of this mess would have ever happened.
