You choose between:
- Agreeing with this initial request
- Write the name of the songs you want to hear and the name of the songs in this list you want to remove (no songs they play currently like Prayer, Bad Medicine, Bad Name, Capt Crash, Sleep, Faith …).
The list will be 25 songs, no more.
At the beginning of the European tour the suggestions / changes will be compiled and there will be extracted the definitive request of 25 songs. I repeat only will be accepted changes with songs that are not currently played or rareties, no Greatest Hits.

Stept 2: Send this event to every fan of BonJovi who is going to attend to any of these 3 concerts, we want to rely on the support of everybody in this idea.

Stept 3: In the European tour, we´ll do a withdrawal of signatures in the queues in favour of this request.
Fans of BonJovi mobilize to all the forums in order that they support the request, specially from the Backstage With Jon Bon Jovi

I spend 4: To deliver this list of requests together with the signatures gathered to Jon Bon Jovi (in a Q&A or in any opportunity that we have), If it is impossible, we´ll give it to Obie O'Brian. All that, in advance with the shows dates

I spend 5: Going to the concerts, have a nice time, meeting Sebstage with Supersonic and everybody from this forum ...and fingers crossed!!!

PD: I have no much faith, but Sydney got what they wanted because of this. I really think this is the last chance we can do about sets (appart from banners)... the final shows have to be amazing. I think I´m getting the support of many spaniards fans but I want to present this idea to you and see if it´s ok

I would like you to help us, if you think this idea deserves to be done. Thank you

Ok I must be thick Juan (yeah I am I know I know ) but I don't exactly understand how it will work even after reading the explanations (oopps) ...but I am all for it to work ....

OK one thing though .. Sydney thing worked out because they had a fan club trip with a Q&A and Sheila had the setlist list prepared .... Jon knew Sheila from a lot of other gigs and other fan club events he obviously wanted to be nice to her and her friends .. they had the best scenario possible for it to work ...

I highly doubt they would play ALL those songs, they are promoting The Greatest Hits album so they are gonna play songs off that album, but they will also play probably 5-7 songs not on the album. Keep sending those requests and hopefully they will grant a few songs off that list, I did that same and they played 'I'd Die For You' in toronto on night 2.

im pretty sure they will play something from your request list but not all of them, maybe on some other tour.

I think It will work because many fans will sign this requests, there will be a lot of support. I dont know Jon´s friends in BSWJBJ or any other kind of help. It´s only us, together, and our dream. If jon sees there are many, the posibilities of giving 3 spectacular shows will increase

Yeah, I recon Its difficult and it´s GH tour blablabla... but, I dont want to listen vanilla/autopilot in these 3 last shows

Let me know any better idea

For all those who think this is topic is utopia, we got last night´s request with STBI and TheseDays... as the song says... "In a world that gives you nothing, WE need something to believe in"

I love your requests ...

to get MANY signs for a list of request is not that important ..... make 200 or 400 A4 sheets with the same request (2 max ..one per side) and you'll get it almost for sure but now to ask for 25 rareties in 3 shows that's another story

you can ask for those 2 songs per show then you MAY get 6 songs if you are very lucky and if your request is possible ....(Jon will (I think) prefer a song he is used to even a tough one better than a song he has done just once live or never)

the best is to GIVE the dream setlist to jon himself but there is no guaranty of his mood when he gets it etc ....

but the only one way to get a song performed is to have the whole pit with one banner saying the same thing like for O2

Yes, that´s true, but if you give the set list long time before the show, they can prepare it (I supose they have not prepared in a decent way all the songs of the request list)

The second thing. I´m giving an idea to jon about what we want to hear live... I´m not trying to impose that entire list, I well know it´s impossible to play these 25 in 3 nights... but if they play 15 of these songs?? that´s what I´m talking about... these 25 are so loved by fans that whatever you play from these 25, people will be very happy, no matter what

The third point. About the dream set list, I think jon won´t be with good mood about that because the magic of a show is that you don´t know what´s the next song. But if we think it´s the best idea, we´ll face it and we´ll do it. So let us know what we (all fans) want to do.

Of course, I´ll do banners to reinforce the posibility of playing what we want.

Thank you Mireille for your support and ideas

Aloha !

You'll have to stick to 3 songs at most. Presenting 25 songs sounds great, but that'll mean that Jon will go for the one he knows how to play anyway. BrokenPromiseland will never happen, neither will I Am. Both songs have only been played once, and Jon doesn't like them. He was never able to nail Hearts Breaking Even during soundchecks in 1995, so he won't go for it now.

If you present 3 songs to Jon or the band that have only been played once this tour it'll be a lot easier for people to pick a song as well, and Jon won't be able to opt for the "easier" options like Happy Now and Thorn In My Side. Don't think of presenting it to the band as in handing it to them either, you should assume you won't be able to do so. Assume you have to do it by raising banners. If a large group unites and all goes for the same 3 songs at every show chances are bigger Jon will pick one of them.

Salaam Aleikum,

I agree. However we should have a backup plan. If at the first show one of the requests gets played then at the next show a different song could replace it. So probably a list of 5 - 6 would be best if we are talking about the last 3 shows.

one important thing is that Jon doesn't pay attention WHO ASK AND FOR WHEN he sees a request and sometimes do the sogns but with a delay ..... you ask for STBI they will do it the next show or the next of the next (they MAY do it ) ....so to get what you want 'for sure' the best is to have 3 shows in a row ..... rare are the times they will truly play something spontaneous (not prepared) the latest examples are it's hard letting you go at the last O2 show and lie to me in bristol in 2008 he did it seing the banners THAT DAY but it is risky ...

I think to have good chance we have to stick all together and not be too demanding... you request 2 songs once you get them you request the 2 next ....
well in 2003 laura and taija had a list of the songs they wanted to heard jon picked them among the list posted first row (that was the era where the fans were for sure in the front pit ... this tour we have no clue ) they checked each song requested played ....
if you are able to do a lot of shows you will get all the best chances your way ...
