I'm not taking the risk on purchasing anything until I get confirmation that Richie had returned. It's a good job tickets are so easy to get on the European leg or else I'd be panicking.

What I'm worried about is the quality of the setlists we'll be seeing. Now, the quality of the setlists hasn't exactly pleased most of us anyway, but now that Richie is "gone" for at least this leg of the tour, I don't see them pulling out any kind of rarities. Which sucks.

I've been in the Gold Circle, I've been on the field, I've been in the lower and upper tiers, no matter where you are, you're surrounded with clueless American fans. I've seen 11 concerts in North America by now, I think I've got quite a good idea over the differences crowd-wise and how people perceive Bon Jovi there. I was in the Gold Circle with an American die hard and she overheard a conversation in the washrooms going "Wow Kid Rock was amazing, how is Bon Jovi going to top that. With A Richie Sambora song? Ha ha ha..." Believe me, she thought it was ridiculous as well, but really, what can you do? It's just the way it is. Now tell me, how many shows in Europe have you seen? As a matter of fact, how many shows outside of the Boston area have you seen? Clearly if you think you're wrong you must have something to back up your opinion? Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |

Among people that I speak to, even non Jovi fans, I don't know too many people who don't know who Richie Sambora is. |

Maybe the reason Europe ...unlike America...sees Bon Jovi as a band, has to do with the fact that the band already built quite an impressive following in Europe (and Japan!), long before Slippery When Wet came out. Americans didn't really jump on the Bon Jovi bandwagon until then. Then Americans lost interest in the band again in the 90s while in Europe the fanbase grew even more. Europe never turned it's back on Bon Jovi...so there is a stronger bond.

They never lost their hardcore fans in America. Keep the Faith and These Days went 2x Platinum and Platinum respectively. They only lost the casual fans, who moved to the next cool trend of the time. |
