Stuff is just not ready, calendar to when the release and info and press releases come out has probably already been established and we won't get them sooner than we're meant to, unless Jon answers something on the topic on the runaway tours shows....

Aside from a couple interviews from external outlets and the 'Album Done!' photo, we only know of THINFS thanks to hearsay from other fans. Look at the 'STICKY' thread - we have very few solid facts about an album rumoured to be released in no more than 2 months time! A video was shot, presumably for the first single. You think that they'd take a quick snap of the band, or hell, even the set and try to build some hype. I don't think they're
trying to keep us in the dark, but they certainly give the impression that they lack the skill (or will?) to promote their product.
They've given us very little reason to be excited for the new album. We've had to generate that ourselves up to this point. By now they could have given us album (or single) art, teased 'in-studio' photos, done a couple short interviews or videos or maybe some kind of 'trailer' etc etc.
I really hope management/marketing or whatever proves me wrong over the next month or so, but I'd just really like there to be more hype for something that is very important to me. Being of the younger generation, I haven't really experienced proper Bon Jovi promo. I have vague recollections of TC and then followed WAN closely, so I suppose I just wish they (Bon Jovi the brand) seemed as pumped for the album as I'm trying to be!
Having said that, the music is what really counts - let's hope they restore some pride there
