New Fan Club Package Updates

Did you subscribe initially?

I subscribed when the exclusive video of Luv Can and Shine was released live for the Experience and the announcement of the Christmas songs. I understood that they were serious, but it was all a mirage, a hook. Another cheap trick to fool fans.

I subscribed because of Black Friday, but had other expectations as well. Glad I got only silver as the boxes are not for me (for the most part)

Which one did you choose?

The sad thing on this announcement is that if they will release the box set in 2023, it will be just digital release. I mean... it will be 40th anniversary of the band. Every band of this status like U2 or as was mentioned - Metallica, if they will celebrate 40th anniversary, they would prepare a nice package with at least 5 disks, photos, posters - they would really take care of that, but Bon Jovi? Hah... They will put 50 unreleased songs on their website for 80 dollars in MP3 and that's it. that's all. That's the big celebration of 40th anniversary of the band which sold over 100 million albums worldwide. they just don't f*cking care, because it doesn't make them too much money, so why they would take care about that? This band is nothing what it used to be. It's not about music anymore... it's just a money machine for fake Americans like Jerry who are scared to tell themselves that Jon is a liar.

I'll take the MP3s over the apron and oven mitts.

Two things:

1) I'll take the mp3s, welcome to the '20s hahahaha

2) Also, Jon said he was planning something special for that date and mentioned again the BoxSet. He didn't say it's gonna be only that.

This may seem like I'm defending them but....they're not wrong doing it this way. A 40th anniversary of 50 unreleased songs from U2 and Metallica will sell because they didn't tank their career with oversaturation. Too many tours, too many albums, lack of promo, lack of interest from the world or anyone that wasn't just going to hear the hits.

There is zero market for a physical release from the band if the hits aren't involved, why would there be a market for unreleased material? There's doing things for the creative process but putting out a 5 disc set on a dying medium for an audience that isn't there....why even bother?

Also I think we're all jumping to huge conclusions about what's actually going to happen in TWO YEARS based on something Jon has said a sentence about.

The box set could also be a chance to see Richie again with the band for some shows...

Anything is possible but I seriously doubt it.

I have a feeling that most of this stuff will be stuff that Jon did himself or stuff from the the past few years with Shanks, Billy Falcon, Etc.

Probably very limited stuff with Richie. And most vocals or guitar will be replaced if it's on multiple tracks.

The only thing that will have Richies stamp on them is cowrites and like I stated above, I think there will be a very limited amount of that.

The irony that Shanks took over right after the first box set.
