Would you go to bon jovi if..

Jeff Kazee and Bobby Bandiera will play with bon jovi again?

I'm not to sure if i would go since bobby is one hell of a shitty guitar playing and vocalist, just look at the borgata show. He thinks he is a big shot but he sucks badly.

Yes, I would.

As long as Bobbie doesn't play Lead guitar of course . Even though I don't see a real sense in adding any musicians to the band on tour.

I have Bobbies solo-CD and don't think it's too bad.

Yes, I'd go. I think Bobby sounds very similar to Richie singing backup (so, I'm a little surprised to see that you think he sucks).

Aloha !

He does suck. Listen to Wanted from Samsung's Season Of Hope Gala. That's the worst version I've heard him do so far. The guitar solo is totally messed up, it actually doesn't even sound like a guitar solo.

And since Bon Jovi aren't the band that are into rehearsing, all songs would probably become worse because the new band members would not get the chance to be part of the actual band feeling while playing Bon Jovi songs.

I don't think I have that saved anywhere. I also don't think that Bon Jovi would take two extra players on the road for tours, so it's not really an issue IMO. When I saw Bobby and Jeff with the band at the Borgata, the shows were good. The music was different since it was the TLFR stuff, but the shows were still good.

Aloha !

I don't think they would either, but I didn't like what I heard during the Borgata show from the box set show. It never felt like a band making music, more like a collection of musicians trying to copy the music a band once made.

No, it isn't as tight with the extra guys as it is with just Jon, Richie, Dave, Tico, and Hugh. When those five guys play they can read each other well and when they bring in new people it just doesn't flow the same way. It doesn't make it bad, but different. Part of the joy of a Bon Jovi concert, for me, is the interaction among the band--not just the music they make, but the way they make it.

bobby sucks at both: singing and playing... think he was the lead guitarist in 98's DA tour... you should've heard naked... damn that was bad...

As far I'm concerned he is up for the death penalty.

Aloha !

There wasn't really much interaction in the band during those concerts with Bobby and Jeff, the guys were almost a part of the background, they only got a chance to shine during the band introductions.

And the music goes first. It's where I'm coming for. I don't care if the band never looks at eachother. As long as the music sounds great it's alright with me. And because Bon Jovi is a well oiled machine their music sounds tight and like a band at most of the times.
