fire and gasoline, huh?

among others...many fire mentions in jons lyrics and titles

true but that's the most recent one and the most fitting. "the newer & bigger" Bon Jovi doesn't really work.

Aloha !

These reviews aren't written as an actual review. Just have a look at the source. These reviews are written to gain page views. There were over 60.000 in attendance and these people will go online, see a review of something they went to and will click like. Chances are the person who wrote the review wasn't even in attendance. It's common practice among tabloids, write whatever the people want to hear. It's why there's no point in looking for reviews for Bon Jovi shows anymore. The more serious newspapers and music magazines ignore the shows as its target audience most likely didn't go either.

There is new level of negativity towards the band-reviews are writen by someone who didnt attend the show,people just click like because they are brainless,I mean there is no possibility that 60 000+ people enjoy the show despite Jons struggle to sing but still to be happy overall.Everything is a lie,they pay someone to write good stuff about the shows because they know they are shit coverband today.

Not only on just this song, but in general, it seems to me that Jon is focusing so much on trying to sing the notes that he just isn't capable of focusing on anything else. Not his timing, the overall feel of the song, his performance delivery...nothing but trying to sing the proper notes. He's even given up playing his acoustic on this song and Wanted, which I'm guessing is because that would now be too much of a distraction for him too.

It's sad to see what used to be so effortless for him has now become a huge, monumental task. Eyes closed with a death grip on the mic seems to be what he feels he has to do now to get through most songs. He can't be enjoying performing like this.

He could change some parts of the songs (Notes).

Just like with ITA (The whole song is not only downtuned like any other songs but some parts are lowered)

It won't work with all songs though like LOAP (Won't be as good if you lower the Wo-oh for example, less energetic too).

All the reviews are positive. I will post mine later today, but I will say this; the atmosphere was really good, and the crowd was so loud nobody dwelled long on the fact that Jon wasn't singing like he was 25.

It really does seem like the critics of this page are tone deaf, indeed...

You mean "the crowd was so loud nobody dwelled long on the fact that Jon couldn't sing anymore"?

Again, I have no words. Is this a world-class rock 'n' roll star performing on a sold-out stadium or my grandpa singing in the shower?
