Little Angels

Big and Rich : still wouldn't 100% rule this out.


Since Crush the support bands in the UK have been crap. Would be nice to see a decent hard rock band.

we're playing with heat in a few weeks!

I'm going to miss the support act, well excluding the recent sh1te they've had (Vintage trouble, The feeling). Nickleback, Skunk Anansie, MB20, LIve were all really good.

I'd have Daughtry, maybe a bit predictable but they are underated in the UK, a stadium tour with BJ would have won them loads of fans.

As theres no support act i'd expect a bit more put into the show itself for the ticket prices, but they won't.

I'm still amazed how Daughtry can't headline their own tour in the UK. Surely they have enough of a following to sell out an O2 Academy sized venue. Would love to see them as a support act.

I seen Heavens Basement again last night at the Tremonti gig. They're alright. Lead singer is a bit of a nutter, though. Just tries a bit too hard and reminded me a bit of Justin Hawkins & Rik Mayall rolled into one.

I'd actually love to see Tremonti to support Bon Jovi. Yeah, he is a lot more heavy than Bon Jovi, but it'd be good to see someone like him play a stadium on his own, even if he's just support.

The Script are a really good band IMO. Going to see them in March. They sold out arenas though so I can't see them doing it.

I'd love to see Daughtry on the tour. It's a pity that Jon has moved away from seeing himself as being the leader of a rock band as such, because so many of their fans still are fans of that era. Guns N Roses, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Poison, Journey, Scorpions, Van Halen etc... but we will never see that type of music (not those large bands obviously) support BJ now.

Journey are a band that are constantly putting out new material but they aren't afraid to embrace their most popular stuff.

I LOVE Train. I'd rather have Bon Jovi opening for Train! :P Seen them perform live 4 times in the last one year with 2 more shows lined up this summer for Chicago and San Francisco (got 2 sets of meet and greets for less than the price of my Bon Jovi concert ticket for soldier field (row 8 )).

Train are a superb act, Pat is by no way young at 40+ but he still runs and dances around his stage with an extremely youthful audience!

Saw Train last night, good gig. But yeah, they won't be supporting Jovi again this tour.

Bruce doesn't have any support acts (unless it's a festival), never has and it's never a problem waiting
