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

And that's what I'm saying - this image of Jovi as a hard rock band was never what they were - it was just what was played at the time. They've changed their sound just slightly to reflect what's modern yet still distinctly sounding like Bon Jovi, its something their actually very, very good at.

I agree, and what I'm saying is that the end product today isn't that good because they are blending in with today's bland music, and we all know that they have the talent and the capability to stand above. Aerosmith is doing the same thing.

I'm just having a hoot ridiculing them for Lost Highway even 6 years after the fact because that was more than just blending in, that was a blatant attempt to be something else. I'm glad they had fun with it and they got over it.

I think that some of their songs that have a natural country sound are far better, only because they are slightly more honest I guess. I mentioned "Little City" as an example earlier.

And on that I agree. John Shanks needs to be given the boot. I really can't see Jon sitting listening to the latest songs on the pop charts, but I can see Shanks doing it (after all it's his job) and that's where I think these influences come from.

It's a matter of opinion. To me they don't sound like Bon Jovi, anymore. Not on albums and not live. They sound like bastard son of Nasville record executive.

And there you go with Nashville again - when nothing sounds country at all really. But it is all opinion (and by the way, lost highway's my least favourite album too - I may even prefer This Left Feels Right over it and thats saying something) so if I thought they were still going country or even attempting to be, I'd have stopped listening years ago.

Not that it has anything to do with anything, but I felt compelled to mention that I am sitting in my office and eating leftover lamb shanks right now.

Can't you eat John Shanks instead? in this instance, I'd fully support cannabalism.

Composition-wise, sure, things ain't all country. Sound-wise, a lot more so. Admit it or not, today's BJ has a Nashville sound & production. "Nashville" isn't just country melodies, it's about sound in general. Just like grunge era brought us definition of "Seattle sound."

And subsequently crying my eyes out trying to pretend it's not happening.

I'm watching two guys who aren't "in" Bon Jovi trading guitar solos, and a bloke on lead vocals who is hitting more wrong notes than right ones.

Watching Dave (who still looks like he's having a ball!) and Tico has become the highlight. Sad times.

If you want to watch something tragic, you might struggle to find something worse than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOikPPoOXg8
Yes, I know it's a non-album track etc. And probably no worse than most versions of WGIGO.

Well i was at an ACTUAL show in Manchester, and it was superb. Are you seeing them live?
