I really doubt it is all that different. People are people no matter what side of the world you are on. And the one thing we have in common is our love for BJ. So different? Just might be in their heads as some people just like to piss on everything about the US. Figments of the imagination if you ask me.
Here we go again with the seating debate...
I agree with Mousebounce. No matter what happens, someone has to slag off the US- our tour is crap, our setlists are crap, seating sucks, blah blah blah...whatever!!! Why don't some of you critics come on over to the USA and go to a show before you whine about seating? (Chris, I know you'll be here in August and will have the chance to experience "our" shows, looking forward to meeting you)
Of course there are good points and bad points about both types of seating. Although I've never been to a show in Europe, I've seen Jovi on the SWW tour, and 2 of the shows were general admission at the time. Yeah, it was fun (I felt like a sardine), but in my opinion I prefer our system here. Just an example-To get my fan club tickets for Philly, I camped overnight at the box office the night before the ticket sale (instead of the day of the show for wristbands like Europe), and scored second row tickets, right in front of Richie.(Keep in mind FC members get the even numbered rows of a show in the front of the stage, therefore general admission ticket buyers have an opportunity to get the odd numbers in the front as well!) No waiting in queue the day of the show, I can take my seat 5 minutes before the band starts, clean and raring to go. How can I complain about that?

First time I feel sad for you people in the states.
Don't feel bad for us, cause we'll be having a great time when the band is up on stage, touring their homeland for the second time this year!
