Not that I have any problem with it at all - I'm happy that there's heaps of different opinions and proper criticism floating around - but I was just wondering, why bother signing up to JT and start expressing your opinions now? Like, on the eve of the release of an album that you know you'll dislike?

Yeah, then we probably do have a different view on BJ, which is fine with me

I became a fan during the KTF era, and while I like NJ (and some of SWW), I cannot stand most of the stuff on the first two albums, and also most of the 80s live performances. Why? Because the songs were played too fast, the band wasn't as tight, etc.

Sure, Jon's voice was better than in the 2000s (and perfect for me on the Blaze and KTF records), and there probably was more passion (the blood on blood intro stories on the NJ tour come to mind). But still, the BJ I "grew up with" is the band from KTF onwards, with the big ballads, melodies, and (with the exception of If I Was Your Mother and the Bounce record) not so much hard rock/heavy guitars...

But it's always a good being able (to agree) to disagree on something

I've been thinking the same. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but it just seems you signed up here to bitch about everything.

Dang buddy, I couldn't disagree more. I love LH. Though I agree, She's A Mystery is one of my least fav Jovi tracks ever.

No idea why Hardwired says London was passionate-less - i was there and it was great.

You dont seem to like Jovi stuff!
3 sides is one of the greatest records ever. They had everything to be the next Queen! No wonder why we don't agree on BJ

I saw a glued to the mic Jon with no voice. Sorry. Sure those paying those prices live a bit in denial about these true facts.

Unfortunately they are releasing another sub-par pop album like they do for 10 years now. Nothings changed.

Maybe you want to move to a Metallica forum as your nickname suggests...What do you say?
