Matrix,

1. If Bed Of Roses is a hit, then what is Always? Always is a much bigger hit than Bed Of Roses and it's still yet to be played on this tour. Yeah, Jon may not sound as good as he did back in '95, but when this song returned to setlist, he still sounded good and everyone was happy to hear it. 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.
