The legendary eye-cancer bootleg :D Great show though!

I've been working with my Bon Jovi music in random order and I was hearing one of my favorites Runaway's (Brussels 1984) so I thought in looking for it in youtube to put the link on my twitter and I can't find it on youtube, anybody has the link?

Maybe it simply isn't on YouTube. But you can go ahead and upload it yourself ;)

Maybe it’s not on youtube but you crazy fans have it, right? If not, let me know and yeah I guess I can post a little on my instagram but later tonight ‘cause right now I’m going out of the town

I'm a 'crazy fan' and I don't have it... That would be cool if you posted it...

For the fans of the THINFS album:

Devils in the Temple live from Nashville last year:

Great performance of TAALS from Lisbon 2011. Jon even brings out his famous rasp at the last " Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong".

Don't even mention that part... I'm honestly about to cry :(

Jon also pushed out the rasp at the end of the Prague 2013 TAALS rendition:

It's unbelievable how good he was still sounding while "screaming" like that even in mid-'13. Why the hell has he stopped doing it? I mean, the ability must still be there...

EDIT: That last "YES, I'm wrong..." in Prague, though... how should I describe it?

Let's put it like this: it strongly reminds me of my puberty and the vocal change caused by it. :D Poor Jonny... he looks genuinely pissed off/disappointed after that part. You can't really see his facial expressions, but he's obviously not very happy. Pretty much every time he hangs his head down like that, he also gives himself the stink eye. See here:

https://youtu.be/wmwXEeS6zyE (These Days - Madrid 2013)

The way he keeps hanging his head down during the choruses and the faces he keeps making throughout the song say everything you need to know. He's completely aware of the fact that he sounds like shit these days (ba-dum tssh!). He does care, and it shows. I'm pretty sure that not even Seb hates Jon's current voice as much as Jon himself does.

Btw, I think all the comments Jon has recently made about his voice (e.g. "I'm in a really good vocal shape nowadays...") are based on his own will to convince himself that he can still sing, although it's more than obvious that he knows he can't. He's clearly feeling really bad about it. Not that he's ever going to admit it, though...

I think that he stopped using the rasp because I think it's not really healthy for your vocals but I'm not sure. Also, Jon is definitely aware of his vocal problems these days ( no pun intended). If he wasn't, he'll be the biggest idiot of all time. He definitely hates his voice right now when he remembers what he was capable of from 1984 -1996.

I'd really like to know what Jon says about his vocals to his bandmates after the shows... the words "f***" and "shit" must make frequent appearances! :D

EDIT: After thinking about it for a while, he's probably so frustrated that he can't really say anything...

He probably just growls silently and bites his teeth to prevent himself from having a rage outburst.
