Jovitalk - Bon Jovi Fan Community - No Richie on current leg of the tour

Let me clarify - this is NOT what I want from Bon Jovi but I am not going to get what I want from them.

My point was, this song does what Jon tries to do with his introspective, acoustic, blue-collar, Bruce-lite and it does it better. It shows a promise that has been lacking from anything they've written together in a long time.

But as was pointed out, that's probably because BT wrote the lyrics!

The new song isn't great but it's so much better than CBAM (crap, IMO). Makes me think RS may have really needed to get another solo phase out of his system and instead was rushed back to "the machine." In hindsight, you can hear that sneer in his tone of voice in early WAN interviews and press.

This whole thing has shown me that I can appreciate a person's talent but understand the individual as a person could be a mess of a human being.

For Christ's sake, stop moaning like a little bitch. You're sounding like Eric with a K more and more and believe me, that aint good. One of the reasons why I dont go on here much is you. Highjacking threads with your constant whining, blah blah. Its too negative. Get a grip. Cheer up, get laid (if your old enough) and just chill the **** out. 1000 posts of just moaning. We get it that you love this band - as you tell us on every post. Be happy, smile and be constructive.

Is it just me or is it incredibly boring on here at the moment. It's more boring mid tour than pre/post tour. Rolo's the only one providing a little bit of light/humour. Somebody do something....please.

I think it's pure and simple disappointment and frustration. This entire WAN experience has been nothing short of the darkest days in the band's history. I don't give a shit what Billboard Boxscore says or how much fun people say they are having at the shows. AS far as I'm concerned, it's like a married couple who fight constantly putting on a decent front at a family barbeque.

I think I agree with you. Richie just happened to be the one to get up from the barbecue and walk into the deep end of the swimming pool.

Breaking Bad fans? Anyone? No?

Ive quoted this part as although I think the same - I do think solo albums should sound totaly different to what they do in their band.
So, good on RS for doing this song as its different to what BJ sound like. Im all for that. Id be gutted if BJ started to sound like this though.
Im not a fan of the fighter, not running and engine 19 - but as solo songs I can accept them - but I wont listen.
No point in JBJ and RS releasing songs where you think - this sounds like BJ.

Agreed, except that The Fighter isn't a solo song and works perfectly as album closer IMO, just like Learn To Love...

Good point, well made.

I like this kind of music and can accept it, as long as it's solo stuff.
