I think it's the WAY people have been criticising the set lists and such that is getting frustrating for some people. I, personally, don't get upset when people talk about the set lists being so predictable and unvarrying anymore. I do, though, get upset sometimes at the way people express that. It bothers me when I see posts saying that they suck and such. I agree that the setlists need to be revised. But, I don't think the band suck because they haven't. Does that make sense???

I also feel that even though we want the setlists to change.....we all know that for the most part they won't be changed. Yet, we still choose to purchase tickets to attend the shows, knowing that we will get a somewhat similar show to those we've seen many times. Yes, it's disappointing sometimes to hear ISWID for the 100th time. But, at least I am getting to go to a BJ show and see them. That's the way I look at it. I think that sometimes we just need to have a more positive outlook. We are their truest, most die hard fans. If we can't support them then how can we expect others to???????? I'm not saying that we all jump on the band wagon and praise everything they do. There are songs I skip sometimes on their CD's (with the exception of the NJ album. No songs to skip for me there.) I'm not greatly fond of the Bounce CD, but what can I do?? I still chose to buy it, just like I am choosing to go to two shows, possibly three, on this tour knowing I may see the same show three times. I'm just grateful that I have the means to be able to do that and that Bon Jovi are here to see.

Sorry, I had to get some of that off my chest. It's been bothering me for the last week, seeing all the negative responses to the first shows setlist. I'm sure now, that I'll get criticised for my thoughts....but hey, I know that and I'm still choosing to post this.
