I have no problem with Bed of Roses if it's performed the original way, like it was at some of the LH shows, but not the way it's being performed now.

2. I think you don't get the difference betweet "dropping" and "not performing". With dropping from the setlist, I mean get rid of songs that are/were staples on Bon Jovi shows for the last few years, so I don't think your suggestion not to do anything from Bounce is a right calll to this topic since it hasn't been played in a long time, with few very rare exceptions.
1. I wasn't even comparing Always and roses, but if you're bothered: Always was played at 1 in 5 shows in the LH tour. Roses was played less than 1 in 10. Always doesn't sound anything close to '95 standard as you say so why not give roses some more appearances or mix it up with every night with always then you'd be guarenteed to get at least 1 classic ballad a night.

2. Note that I said keep everyday, undivided, bounce and right side of wrong - the only vaguely decent songs form that album. I did not say never play Bounce in its entirety. Look at what was performed from bounce in the last tour: a total of 16 songs form Bounce were played over the ENTIRE tour. That either suggests that the band don't want to perform those songs or that the reaction they'd get is crap. So I'd fully support the removal of that fom setlists forever.

"we weren't born to follow" and "lost highway" and "who says" don't need to be played live. I hope they don't make it past this tour

All of Lost Highway, except Whole Lot Of Leaving, Hallelujah and Who Says.
Also, "Have A Nice Day" and the original "Saturday Night" should be played everynight.

To the people who keep naming Who Says, are you really still in denial that this is an EVERY night song forever now, and (in the States) it should be.

Anyway, I don't want to see them permanently drop anything. I'd rather they just changed things up a lot more.

I don't think any Bon Jovi song should be dropped permanently, rather I'd like to see some songs not done for one tour or so such as:

1) Hallelujah, or any cover for that matter sung in its entirety. With the extensive catelogue these guys have, I don't think there is any need for covers. I can live with little snippets like bad case for loving you with bad medicine.
2) Who says you can't go home-I know it probably won't ever be rested, but I can dream!
3) Memory-They've got better ballads to choose from such as always, never say goodbye, living in sin, this aint a love song, and I would even like to hear lie to me. If they must do Lost Highway/WGIGO, then please don't add memory as well since this is the circle tour.
4) Bad Medicine-I used to really like this song but it has been overdone. It could use a rest or done at every other show. Bring back LYHOM for this tour.
5) Born to follow-even though this is the circle tour, i'd rather hear broken promiseland and happy now. Born to follow doesn't HAVE to be done at every show.
6) Born to be my baby-I like this live, but it has been overdone.
7) Sleep/captain crash-Seems like these are resting, however I would like to see captain crash at least once. When I saw the LH setlists and saw this song done frequently, I started to listen to it a lot so I could like it. They never did do it the 2 shows I saw on the LH tour seeming like a waste of time for me.

I wish they would bring in these arms, dry county, always, hey god, this aint a love song, one wild night, and bounce as every other show songs or at least 1 from that list.

That's one of the most bizarre things I've ever read.

'Hallelujah'
'We Got It Going On'
'Blood On Blood' as opener. Do it in the encore.
