Thats actually a really good review for a magazine, that's definitely a fan writing that one. Now time for a bit of a rant after flicking through some of the crap over the last few pages.
Shame to see the thread reflect all the Bon Jovi fans over social media at the moment, by taking sides and being at each others throats. Its pathetic all round, there was me being a fan of this band like I thought everyone else was, but apparently I'm very much in the minority. Maybe its because I'm a bloke and therefore have no sexual attraction to the protagonists so don't need to be #teamrichie or #teamjon. Apologies if that's a bit of a sweeping sexist statement, but it seems a lot of the bands female fans (of which they are the majority) just side with who they fancy, must as I would side with Kimberley in Girls Aloud, they pick their sides between Jon & Richie. Obviously that's not everyone, but there's a hell of a lot of that vein posturing out there.
Sadly what they, and Richie, can't seem to see is that without Bon Jovi, Richie is nothing. Everything he does and is able to do, he owes it to his time in the band and to his fans. He certainly wouldn't be flogging some gussets to the Japanese on QVC on his own back. Demanding Richie break off and go solo- why? Why can't we have the band AND solo breaks like we have had for 30 years? Why does it have to be a pissing contest all the time? There's bound to be wrong on both sides, but for so called "Bon Jovi" fans to be wanting the band torn apart and their idol to make it on their own and beat the other one leaves a very sour taste in my mouth.
I'm glad for the most part on here we can make our OPINIONS on either side (and we are always speculating, thanks to the bands and Richie's inept PR) without, for the most part, being dragged into the silly childish fights that this fanbase are partaking in elsewhere. It's making One Direction fans seem mature. But then, with seemingly Jon & Richie being less than adult about the whole thing, is it any wonder?
