Right now I am in the plane flying to Calgary. I just charged the laptop a bit at the airport and there's 49% of power left in the battery, I've got 1,5 hours to kill so I should make it with that. I just changed the wallpaper on this laptop to a pic of Kat I made with my cellphone (I hope I remember to change it back when I hand the laptop back. If I don't; Sorry about the pic Paul ;d) and no people of JT, it's not a pic of her tits. I'm on a plane, remember? I'm listening to the Travelling Wilbury's right now, and the first song on the album reminds me of Kat so yes, I still love her, even up in the air close to Canadaland. By the way, you Amurrecans split up your country in a weird way. It looks very much like Sim City, so I get where they got their inspiration from. It's a real shame Paul doesn't have that game installed on this laptop, but then again, he told me it's a WORK LAPTOP. Not that I have seen him work ever since I am here, all he does is drink beer and drive us to concerts. So unless Kathleen pays him to do that I find the excuse of not having any games installed on this laptop unacceptable. Anyway, up in the air your country looks very beautiful and it's a real shame there's so many idiots living in their who tend not to realize what they have. Seeing the world like this makes me realise I want to do a lot more travelling and see a lot more of America and the rest of the world and I'm glad Kat would love to join me on my trips. I really look forward to that, really can't wait to do the travelling with the person I love the most. And no Thierry, before you turn all gay on me AGAIN, that doesn't mean you. Now where was I? Oh right, I was going to review the third night.
Night 3
We were hoping for a different opener by now, and we got one, although it was obviously one of the shittiest songs of the show. Still, we got it out of the way which I guess was a good thing after all. This night pretty much had the setlist we were all hoping for with so many changes and most of them actually for the better. I don't have the setlists with me here but I think the first true rare song we got this night was Living In Sin/Chapel Of Love. Me and Kat were seated 4 rows from the catwalk on Richie's side but sadly we didn't get to hear anything of the song. Me and Kat honestly witnessed the most retarded crowd reaction ever. What happened was that Jon performed the song on the catwalk with the rest of the band staying on the main stage. However, this also meant that JON WAS VERY CLOSE TO US OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! And thus all 50 year old desperate housewifes started screaming as if they were slaughtered. They were pretty much reacting in the same was as 15 year old girls being close to the Jonas Brothers which was ****ing embarrassing. I honestly don't get it, the man performs a song right in front of you and all you can do is scream right through it? And not just when he started, noooo, during the whole song. So no, we didn't get to hear anything of it.
Hang on, I gotta take a look at my wallpaper again. Mmmm she's so pretty and cuuute.
Alright. Richie joined Jon and I realised they were about to do I'll Be There For You. I had tried to talk Kat into faking a proposal before the romantic song because we were very close to Jon so I might be able to get Jon to talk to me and I'd be able to dare him to put my on stage and have my moment with Kat, but she wasn't up for it. A real shame, but I wasn't giving up, so when he started talking and it got a bit more quiet around us I shouted “DIAMOND RING!!!” Jon hesitated, then started I'll Be There For You anyway, but I am 100% sure he heard the song and played it anyway. And with it not being on the set, I got my request anyway. Yes, I could've screamed for Hey God but it's not likely they can play that on the spot right away now when they're having their acoustic guitars in their hands, now is it? And Diamond Ring was nice anyway. I knew with Who Says being early in the set that the electric rendition of Sat. Night would be played and me with my psychic brain was right about this. By now I started to think that Jon was holding back all through the night. I could see him thinking “Shall I do an extended version of Sat. Night or just do the standard one?” He did the standard one, still good though, but it made me realize that had these 3 shows at Giants stadium been done at the end of entire tour he'd pull out a lot more rare stuff and extend everything a bit more than normal. Once again Keep The Faith had the same pyro (certainly not complaining here!) and once again I wondered if he was holding back for the shows at the O2 arena. The encore with Dry County again and Richie changed up a few things in the solo, the dual intro with Bobby went a bit smoother and once again the crowd seemed to like it instead of using it for a piss break. Wanted and Prayer followed, the standard stuff and by now I knew we weren't getting any extended encore at all which was not too bed considering it was still a very long show, but it once again just showed why Bruce is the master and Jon is the pupil. And before all of you start bitching about my Bruce Springsteen comparisons again; I'm not a Bruce Springsteen fan at all. It's just that Jon knows people will compare him to Bruce, and it's just the thought that if Bruce can do it, why can't Jon be arsed? Why does it have to be going like planned (apart from Diamond Ring, obviously). Still, I was happy I didn't get I Love This Town, but even though this setlist was better than night 2, the performance on night 2 was better.
Rating on the Supersonic’s all mattering Bon Jovi review index:
***** The ****ing bollocks!!!
**** Top show.
*** Yeah, well that was alright...
** Piss poor performance. Nnngg!!!
* Jon you cunt I hope you go bald within 1 day!
And then came night 4. No one really knew what to expect of night 4. Would Jon see it as the final night of the 4 shows at Giants, or would it be a separate show with an average setlist? It turned out to be neither. Show number 4 at Giants was just shit.
Night 4
First there was Kid Rock. I'd never seen him but kinda knew it wouldn't be my cup of tea. I read people s reviews of his show at the O2 and I think in Dublin on the Lost Highway tour, saying that he was good. I think that if people appreciate Kid Rock, they've got no right to bitch about any bad stuff Bon Jovi releases. Kid Rock's set was full of covers, full of “Shout my name, say my name”, full of “I **** bitches **** your wife and your girlfriend too” and full of pretty much everything that is wrong about Bon Jovi since Bon Jovi turned into a poppier direction than pretty much every die hard wants them to. And what was even more pathetic was that he had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hands. It was right during his performance that the wife was ashamed of her people. These were all the Amurrecans we've been making fun of the past few years on Jovitalk. Their was this woman in front of us singing along to “I want to **** your wife and girlfriend too”, yet there's no doubt that if anyone would ever say that to her she'd get very offended. Then again, she'd probably be too retarded to even realize what she was singing. Oh, and there was the awesome Kid Rock can do anything segment in the show. Really, you're not going to believe this, but Kid Rock can actually do a scratch solo while standing on the turntable with his ass faced to the crowd, while smoking a sigar and actualling drinking whiskey at the same time. He is that amazing. Obviously he had to show off that he can drum as well, and then he did play some awesome electric guitar. Really, this man can do anything. Because this is the man that when he was actually supposed to be playing the guitar properly while Bon Jovi let him play on Wanted, his guitar was not plugged in, and he was strumming the wrong chords and couldn't do the intro to Wanted at all. That's how talented this man is, yet obviously he needs to show off how he can do shite stuff on various instruments. If I'd be that “good” on the instruments I'd never show off my limited skills. Kid Rock obviously feels like he should be doing it, because Kid Rock is awesome And the weird thing was how he got to use all the screens, had the pyro, had flamethrowers and had pretty much everything. It just felt wrong, wrong, wrong. And this is the man Jon and Richie like to associate themselves with. This is their celebrity friend. It just makes me laugh and feel embarrassed by it. The Gallaghers hang out with Paul Weller, Joe Perry hangs out with Jimmy Page, and Bon Jovi hang out with Kid Rock. And no way this man deserved Pamela Anderson, but anyway. On to the main show now.
