I do! It's my favorite song off of THINFS. I know it's not a lyrical masterpiece but you can't deny it's catchy!

He can't. For every note he hits there are three that he misses. You should know that better than me!

It was marginally better than some other performances I saw, but marginally is a key word. It was probably good enough to enjoy if you're there live, but definitely not good enough to enjoy it on YouTube.

I'd appreciate you thinking of me though

I do have a feeling that you're haunting him in his dreams with a giant 120% sign by now

saturday night sounds like dog shit but yeah, he has his moments.
I'm totally convinced that it has nothing to do with range, it really sounds like he has some sort of chronic throat infection of some sort. anyways.

can't wait for this tour to end so they can sit down and decide that BJ needs Richie back otherwise they'll have to call it a day.

I thought it was a great show and I also thought Jon sounded pretty good...

I was front row right behind Everett so kind of on the side but more towards the back... Seating is such a key thing... It's such a different experience each time. A few things I picked up on.

Jon doesn't use a teleprompter anymore... I don't think he has this entire tour which makes a huge difference in my opinion...

Tico has a guy who sits behind him the entire show... Kinda like an assistant... The saddest part about it is, he gives him oxygen after certain songs... After the KTF solo, Tico was so winded I didn't think he wasn't going to make it... The whole thing looked pretty bad. I think that's why Jon goes and does an acoustic Amen afterwards...Tico needed a good five minutes to collect himself...He also took some kind of pill...I know he smoked for many years and really hope he doesn't have COPD or Emphysema...

Wow, I've never heard this before, that's very sad...

Reason #37 Jon should end this.

Wow...now we know why the shows are so short nowadays (and why they've seriously cut down on the number of them per year), and it's not Jon. When Tico goes, it really will just be Jon and friends instead of Bon Jovi the band (unless Richie comes back of course, which is highly unlikely). If he's in this bad shape this may well be his last tour with the band...the lesson we can learn from this band (Tico's breathing problem, Jon's voice) is never smoke!

I don't think it has too much to do with Tico's smoking. He's always had a style of playing with much more physical energy than other drummers and also kept hitting the drums probably harder than many others. If I'm not mistaken his back is giving him trouble for some time now and he uses a corset. It's just that his enthusiastic style is catching up with him and hard to maintain at his age.
