I'd far rather Jon break out some questionable dancing and have some fun than take himself too seriously. Phil seems (to me at least) to actually fit in quite well these days but Shanks doesn't look comfortable on stage still which is a shame.

It is not enjoyable with these vocals. And it is sad to be reminded of this non-singing. How I wish the dude could have some sort of breath left and some sort of tonality stable.

I don't think dancing professionally would look good at all in almost any Bon Jovi song.
Something like how he didn't dance but just move and jump, etc would be very good, for example most LOAP live versions from maybe the TD tour.

For me John Shanks looks like he's disappointed at Jon's vocals or something most of the times on stage.

Jon has never been a good dancer, but he used to move naturally and work the stage that way. Nowadays it looks so strange, I can't even describe it.

And Shanks clearly isn't made for being a live musician. In that recent interview posted here he said that being on the road is an experience you HAVE to make at some point. It rather seems like he's just checking off some box of what to do in life. Phil X actually enjoys being there.

That seems contradictory to his past. John Shanks has an extensive touring history, that quote, to me, doesn't sound like it applies to him being on the road with the band. I think thinking that Shanks looks like he's dissapointed with Jon's vocals on stage is a little much. For better or worse he just looks like he doesn't belong with the band but for me it's unnatural because I'm not used to it.

Agreed he started as a touring musician. As far as Jon, I don’t think he would define would he does as dancing lol!!

Jon's dancing, facial expressions, and smiles are so staged, it all comes across very awkward...

He does but it sounded to me like he enjoys being on the studio more and that live experience doesn't really thrive him. With Phil, you can tell that he lives for being on a stage and rocking out. I think Shanks is there because Jon begged him to replace Bobby. At least Jon's comment during the THINFS promo show in New York hinted at that.

And to think there were only five of them and it was enough for years...

Come to think of it, once they brought in now musicians it all started to go wrong.
