This also recently appeared on a ticket website (I believe it was a ticket website - I only saw a screenshot of it). From what I’ve read the concert dates on Spotify automatically show up there when they appear on a ticket website, so I’m assuming someone from the ticket company simply screwed up and accidentally put a nonsense tour date up on their page. I’ve seen this happen a couple times with other artists as well, even bands that are actually broken up.

Really? LMAO!

Do you think Halo will be on a possible new album or will it end up on the Box Set?

More than likely box set.

Agreed, IF it's gonna end up there...

Also, Jerry tweeted today "Wanting, needing & ready for new Bon Jovi music... Just saying". So for him to make a hint like that, we're probably having some news at this Runaway Tours. Looking forward for a new single.

That's interesting, and that's why it bothered me that there was finally no show on Halloween. Surely Jon would make the announcement there, about his plans for 2022.

If Jerry has tweeted this words, then there are new songs in the works for next year. Maybe a new album or an EP to launch the tour. That's cool.

Have we just accepted that Jerry is a reliable source of information for the band now?

I wouldn't even count Matt as a reliable source of information regarding the band's music. Maybe the housewife services, but not the music.

Lol, you still haven't?

One thing I know for sure is that he's got the infos before everyone several times.

He is clearly part of matts media crew - a social media influencer.
He spreads positive vibes and is given bits of info and all he has to do is big up everything Jon does for the housewife massive on Twitter and Instagram.
That’s why if anyone replies with - well I think the Jbj experience has been a bit of a rip off and the boxes seem full of junk - will get blocked.

So he's basically out of the job in case they really drop that JBJ Experience?

Who is he ?:(

Matt's bitch.

Coming out of retirement to address this. You guys are giving Jerry wayyyyyyyy too much credit.

Let me tell you about Jerry. Around the LH era this 15 or 16 year old kid joins backstage and posts up a storm. He is obsessed. And when I say obsessed, I mean scary obsessed. Stupid obsessed. The kind of obsessed where if a band member wore an item of clothing, Jerry wanted that item of clothing. A band member liked a particular type of food, Jerry suddenly loved that food. Everything the band did...and I mean EVERYTHING, he loved. And defended. That shit original LH solo? The one that even backstage had a thread bitching about it? The one even Jon admitted sucked and needed to be redone? Jerry though it was perfect! Zero credibility. Blind follower.

He is nothing more than a weirdly obsessed super fan. He is the typical backstage housewife fan that loves everything the band does, except he's a guy. I assure you he is in no inner Bon Jovi circle. He has no advance notice of shit. He's just a stalker and lives, eat, and breathes Jon/Bon Jovi. The tweet today about Experience boxes shipping was not inside knowledge..an email from the FC was sent out a half hour before his tweet alerting people the boxes were shipping.

Please stop blowing this douche up making him think he's more important than he is. He's a nobody. He gets attention from Matt because he's the lone guy super fan in a sea of women. He is on no payroll. He's not getting a slippery charm. Just stop.

Woah, what's this about? Or are you thinking about Born to Follow?

I agree that’s how it started after the Backstreet Boys sacked him off.
Google Jerry and backstreet boys and you’ll see he’s won comps. Is it coincidence that this happens for Jovi now as well?

Also when 2020 was out he said he’d buy 100 copies and give them out - no idea if that happened but if so Matt gave him them.

When the vinyl of 2020 was delayed, again, he said he had 10 copies to give away.

These must be coming from Matt.

Also the guitar comp / auction was won by….Jerry. Every Q&A features Jerry.

It’s all so similar to his BSB days. He gets in and help promote by being positive then he’ll piss someone off in the bands inner circle and get the boot.

My man, you sound like a conspiracy theorist. If you truly think about what you're saying, you'd see how crazy it sounds.

Why on earth would Matt or Jon give this clown Jerry albums to give away? If they wanted to do a give away, they'd do a Facebook or IG contest, or a bonjovi.com contest, or even an Experience contest (especially since that is something they have yet to do), but they sure as hell wouldn't leave it in the hands of the guy who asks band members their favorite jelly flavor. He's buying albums himself and giving them away because he wants friends. He also wants to be known as the #1 fan in the fandom. He is a sad, sad individual.

The guitar auction was not part of the Experience. It was a charity auction from Auction Cause held on eBay. He bid the highest and won. Dude paid for that obscenely overpriced guitar. The auction included a 15 minute Zoom with Jon. https://m.facebook.com/auctioncause/...ale=ne_NP&_rdr

He was indeed chosen for the FC live Q&A, but again I go back to that he's a lone male super fan among tens of thousands of women. And he searches for and enters every single contest or auction related to the band. Many times he doesn't share those contests and auctions with others until afterwards to increase his own chances of winning.

I know nothing about Jerry and the backstreet boys, but I would imagine getting on the payroll or into the inner circle of Bon Jovi is no easy task. Everyone is either family or has worked for the organization for many years. Jon takes pride in the band's reputation. They did not hire stalker Jerry to represent them in any way. Seriously. Think about what you're saying.

Yes, I meant Born to Follow. But you already knew that. It's the only song that has been released as a single and then re-recorded with a new guitar solo for the album version after the fans loudly complained, right?

Out of my entire post that's the part you extract to address? Nothing about the actual subject of the post...just a song title to call me out. Cool.

You're legit reading too far into this. To the point where I was already on your side thinking while they're using Jerry to their advantage, I don't think he's on the payroll, he's just obsessed.

I was honestly thinking maybe something happened with the LH solo I didn't hear because I don't remember Jon admitting it sucked so it didn't click in my head. So....sorry I guess?

Always nice to see people coming out of theire "retirement" to make some nice and not even slightly arrogant posts... :rolleyes:

I highly doubt Jon said that the solo just sucked. Even he got to play it in his solo performances after the new solo was recorded.

I think there is a lot of obsession with Jerry here. Do not be offended, I am not saying that the guy is ... well let's leave him there, just nobody deserves so much [lynching] attention.

I think the problem is he's synonymous with the band in social media circles now, almost to the point where the less eagle eyed believe he's part of the wider group around the band.

I remember a couple of interviews where they addressed it. One with both Jon and Richie (where Jon said they simply hadn't put a solo on there and just stuck with the lick) and one with just Richie (where he said the solo was 2 takes put together and was done in an hour). I could be remembering wrong or mixing quotes but I can't for the life of me find the interviews.

Well, Richie left and we have the same problem. LOL

I recall an interview with Richie saying it was an intentional solo and they decided to do a Beatles-y, jangly lick at that part but yeah, it's been so long I don't remember where I saw that.

I remember that as well about the initial "solo". The second interview was about him doing the new one and that it was the second or third take he played that got included right away.

I remember them calling it "Beatles-y" or whatever the phrasing was. It was a silly way of saying that it was super simple. I doubt JBJ cares about guitar solos all that much, tbh, as long as they don't irritate the target audience. So I don't see him saying that a simple solo "sucks".

So what now, turns out it was a private gig. Do we think that was all the rehearsal was for, or do we still think they're gonna go out on the road next year?

They'll absolutely go out on the road next year but why couldn't it have been for both? They rehearsed two setlists worth of songs, the majority of which did not get played. You don't rehearse Love's the Only Rule and Just Older for a private event and not play either.

Unless they tried both and decided they just don't work with Jon's current voice? Hence the reason that they weren't played? Or they could have been Audibles that Jon never called?

You're talking about the guy who said in a live interview that he's "feeling great vocally" and that they dug into old album cuts like Hey God, Dry County, Blaze Of Glory during rehearsals. From which (other than DC once I guess) none of them had been played on the tour all through 2018 and 2019.

Them rehearsing a song and then playing it are two very different things - and always have been. Wild Is The Wind was rehearsed for Wembley 1995 and never played in that year, 99 In The Shade was rehearsed (I think in Australia) 2008 and all the tracks of The Circle were rehearsed with Live Before You Die, Fast Cars and Learn To Love already having gotten pre-programmed on David's keyboards for the promo cycle 2009.
None of them got played in that respective era.

They will tour next Northern-summer (confirmed by Tico)!

Hah yeah, all good points. Whelp I got nothin.

Jon also tweeted a month ago, saying he couldn't wait to be on tour next year.

I have a feeling that it will not only be a tour, there will also be a release, possibly a new album, or maybe something different.

Where would they tour ?

Someone asked Bryan Adams on his Instagram story if there has been talks of rescheduling a tour with Bon Jovi and he replied "not at the moment, maybe one day".

Do not understand why other big bands are touring:p

Bon Jovi rounds out the top 10 rock acts based on gross averages (Pollstar): https://www.pollstar.com/article/sta...artists-149242

So when do you think a new Bon Jovi album will be released? 2023, 2024?

I hope 2022
;)
