Personally, I rate this over anything Bon Jovi have but out in the last 10-15 years...

Are you seriously suggesting that everyone becomes an asshole as they get older? or at the very least change their personallity? That's just simply not true....

And they only managed that because they gave away copies with concert tickets for all US dates (twice).

Or he's just got older and with time came all faults you see in many people. Selfishness, self-absorption. And bitterness or course, a trait many here have developed through the years too.

Furthermore who's being hypocritical ? Richie's been prominent in Bon Jovi's success, there's no denying that. But who put the band back on tracks with KTF ? And looking at Richie's way of leading his career, that's lucky Jon's always been the driving force in the band. You can be arrogant and conceited but that doesn't mean you're wrong, it just means you're a prick. And for the masses, it's obvious Bon Jovi have always been about Jon.
First, yes I went back about 15 years for that quote. Because it was in response to Thinny's "Remenber the days when..."

Second, selfishness and self-absorption are traits typically associated with children more than mature adults; and very young children at that.

Third, you question my use of 15-year-old footage, but then go back at least 10 years prior to that to use KTF as an example? That's consistent. (And fyi, Jon didn't put them back on track all by himself, all those years ago.)

Fourth, yes, Jon has been the driving force; but I'm not sure that's always a good thing since he's already admitted that he was the one responsible for nearly driving the band into the ground with NJ. It will probably take another 20 years before he can admit to almost finishing that job with WAN.

Fifth, being the driving force doesn't mean he has been the sole creative force. That wasn't just Jon; or even just Jon and Richie. That was the entire band, as well as a host of outside forces. As for the masses, you may be right. Most of them did equate Bon Jovi with Jon Bon Jovi. That doesn't mean they were right. (But if they hang in long enough maybe their day will come; because it sure seems like Jon's trying to move it more and more in that direction.)

Sixth, I can agree with you that, right or wrong, Jon came across like a prick in these articles. A selfish, self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing - not to mention ungrateful - prick. But it sounds like you're okay with that; and nobody's saying you shouldn't be, so rock on!

When Jon made those two attempts to release solo albums like Jon Bon Jovi (Blaze of Glory and Destination Anywhere), he made it clear that when it comes to BON JOVI, it's about THE BAND, not just about the songs and he. That's why these statements are so annoying.

Interesting.

Now I'm wondering who could predict the new tour setlist more precisely, song order and all. Seems like a fun, albeit depressing, game.

What is YOUR prediction for the setlist then?

The time with WAN wasn't the first time though. Giving Jon credit for the succes of Keep The Faith is a bit of a stretch and doesn't make much sense considering Jon was the guy who ran the band into the ground on the New Jersey tour in the first place. Sure, afterwards Doc McGhee was blamed by the entire band but it was Jon who kept approving the extra shows and the grueling tour schedule. This has been a constant factor in most of their subsequent world tours. The schedules either did damage to the band, to his voice or to their popularity, and it's always been because of the same thing; money.

Salaam Aleikum,
