Hey thanks for the replies. I'll be the last one to knock the guys down and this isn't what I'm doing, but hey, tour in winter or summer or whatever -

I understand the economical aspect but certainly don't agree with it. Time and again we've heatd them say "it doesn't make a difference if we play to 100 000 or 100 people - we give off the same energy" I'm a believer in those words and people here are starved of international groups so if Bon Jovi or U2 or Bryan Adams come down, people will go. Sure, even if it means buying the cheapest tickets to sit right in the back, they'll go.

Me - I don't care what the price is - I'm buying the golden circle tickets no matter. My sister is thinking about starting a family, and she told her husband even if she's 9 months pregnant when BJ come down, she'll go!
Trust me, people will go see Bon Jovi - they're legendary over here, and in places like India, Finland, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, China.

Here's what i think should happen: by all means the band must take a break - 2 months or something. Then if the proposed new album is released later this year, the acoustic hits one, then do a small scale tour, play the main venues like East Rutherford, London, Munich, L.A., New York, Osaka, Tokyo - but then include South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, maybe do shows in Mexico, Brazil, Finland, Russia. Hey, it'll definitely get the album to sell more copies!

Thanks guys, for being so understanding.
