What Has To Go??????

Bad Name is one of the best songs they play live!!!!! Richie improves the guitar riffs and the solo every tour, and it sounds better every time!.
I hope they stop playing Sleep when I'm dead, Bed Of Roses, I got the girl, Captain Crash... and I also hope they keep on playing Raise your Hands, and the full electric versions of Runaway and I'd die for you.

I wish that they would play at least two songs from EVERY album - like mentioned earlier These Days as been missed out alot. There would still be plenty enough room to play the new stuff!

i agree with you there, but there's so many good songs from so many albums! i think i just got another idea for the poll...........cya round

brijovi, it's poll time

It would be nice to at least hear "These Days" or "Something for the Pain"
mixed in.

I think that I want to hear a couple songs from These Days but only one or two because, although the album is excellent, most of the songs don't seem like they would be very good live especially since some are more on the darker side. Even though I agree that Bad Name is not like it used to be, I don't think things would seem the same without it. I liked Bad Medicine coupled with SHOUT but without Shout maybe it could go. I think if they gotta play a ballad, I'll Be There For You is the best one Live. It has the most power and Richie puts a lot into it during the guitar solo. I'd like a lot of New Jersey and Keep The Faith songs since they are my fave albums anyhow. Wild Is The Wind, Homebound Train, Keep The Faith (I didn't get that one at the concert I went to), Dry County, and In these arms would be good.

What has to go? Opening acts Then Bon Jovi could play for 3 hours or even longer and include all the songs the band and the fans want.

Now seriously, I don't like I sleep when I'm dead too much. Also could do without Bad Name. Bad Medicine is a lot of fun though. I'd love to hear These Days, Hey God, If I was your mother, In these arms. Maybe Dry County.

Good question! Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they left off quite a few of the "hits". As a fan, who has listened to them for years, I'd rather hear more of the unknown songs that you'd normally never hear. Bad Name & Bad Medicine are great rock n' roll songs, but you hear them all the time. I'd love to hear more of the rare stuff like Neurotica, Good Guys Don't Always White, Stay etc... Not that I don't like the hits!!! That's not the case at all! But, they have soooo many great songs that the average fan would probably never hear otherwise. Hearts Breaking Even is one of my all time fave BJ songs, and I don't think they have ever done that live..have they? I would LOVE to hear that one!! But, I realize it's a double edged sword, as they have to satisfy everyone!! Even the average fan should be able to sing a long to a few. What would a Jovi show be without Prayer & Wanted anyway...

Neurotica would be great to hear live!!! I know most of you disagree with me here, but I could live without Wanted... However, I could not "live" without Prayer. I think (and hope) on their next tour they will play only IML, OWN and Older from Crush. I'd love to hear Mystery Train, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Bad Medicine, Sleep etc. would go if they were a little bit shorter. They last sometimes for 10 minutes!!!! I'd also like to hear In these arms, I'd die for you (original version), These Days and of course BTBMB...

Taija

I think that the reason Bon Jovi always plays there hits instead of there less popular songs is because they want the people at the concert to have fun, jump around & dance, and especially sing along. Most fans going to the concerts know all the words to their hit songs so ofcourse they're gonna play those songs. As a huge fan I wish they would play some of their less popular songs from the Keep the Faith album and even the These Days album but I dont forsee that happening... So I guess the hits will just keep on coming and we'll all just keep on singing away.

I agree with Martin2000, as him I love to hear my guitar lies bleeding or damned or any song from TD.
