But I must say I (and other Americans) could have used your sympathy last month rather than all your comment about "Richie will be back in Europe, they wouldn't dare tour Europe without Richie, they would have to cancel the tour," etc. The shows go on and now you know that Bon Jovi treats its European fans just as well as it treats its American fans. Maybe you are not so special after all although to can take some comfort in their twitter message about being off to 'WONDERFUL Europe."

If you're after double-standards... how about the fact that you are having ago at 'all our comments' ... cut back on the generalisations please; there are plenty of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish people on here who NEVER get involved in the petty little squabbles between a substantial amount of the American and Europeans on this board.

I have to say, from the post above, I am really trying to find the sympathy you mention but it would take an entire team of CSIs to locate it amongst sheer glee at a post you've clearly been desperate to write.

Dan - go read the front page of the New York Times - there are far worse things going on in the world.

To all those stuck with tickets, who are frustrated, I understand. Keep your expectations low... but go.

I have no regrets about my show this tour without Richie (Dallas)... and Richie is 50% of BJ to me. If Richie had been there, it'd been my favorite show to date. It most likely will be the best Jon Bon Jovi show you've ever seen.

Really liked what you said. :)

They have a point. Europe is going to suck as much as the States now. At least we can sympathise how shit the American gigs are

Exactly - it's not nice to gloat (and I don't even feel like gloating) - but all of us - Americans and Europeans are missing out on Richie. I have seen several shows with Phil X and enjoyed the shows immensely. So if my NMS shows are Richieless they will still be some damn fine shows during the summer here in Jersey.

You are one of the few sensible people on this board. :multi:

I really dont think it will be anywhere near as bad as what people think

I love your enthusiasm, but it literally wont. Unless Jon pulls a few surprises out the bag, like Little Bit Of Soul ort Without Love, or something random like that it is gonna suck big time. I plan to get there at 7:55pm (assuming 8pm start time) and probably leave before the encore to beat the traffic
