I wouldn’t be sorry if there was never another. Jon is destroying his legacy as his voice is shot and there seems to be more musicians on stage with every tour. This stopped being Bon Jovi along time ago!😢

Jon change on the band concept many years ago, so I am not going to shout to the sky now, I just want to enjoy this extra time that he is giving us. I've listened to Bon Jovi since my childhood, and I've been a huge fan since my teens, I've grown up listening to every damn record. I will tell you a little anecdote, when I was in high school, I was already a fan of the band, and we (the class) talked about all the music that we liked ... then the years passed and I lost contact with my classmates, as it is logical, and each one took his way. In 2016, Bon Jovi released THINFS single, that summer, I ran into one of my classmates (20 years later), and he told me that he heard the new Bon Jovi song on the radio, which he liked, and he told me that every time BJ released a new song, he always remembered me, and he remember back days in high school, I talking about the band and their records. I can only add that it has been worth following the path, despite the potholes, despite the fact that the last few years have not been totally to my liking. I still find some enjoyable songs on their current albums. If I have to end date all this (BON JOVI), I want it to be a distant date. I don't like the way Jon is carrying his brand but that's another story. I know that the sunset of Bon Jovi is beginning, I just wish that sunset lasted until 2034. |

The last tour
Jon in 2034? His voice is pants now.
I agree with the extra time statement as bands don’t normally go on this long. I’m not going to anymore shows unless Richie comes back for one last hurrah. This version of the band isn’t for me. The music, awful live vocal performances and the stage full of different people. Nah. I’m done with the band now in terms of new music and gigs. I don’t even watch any new clips anymore for longer than 10 secs. I hear the vocals then turn off. Shame as we know what they were like in the glory years. I get that bands change/evolve and there’s nothing wrong with saying you don’t like the new direction of a band you’ve followed. All things come to an end but Jon’s dragging this out for a few more years. If people are happy with Jbj is hot hats and pinnys then he’ll rinse these people a bit longer.

It all depends how you define the band. To me the core of band sound was Jon and Richie. Tico and Dave too, but to a lesser extent. Personally, I feel that without Richie it isn't the same band anymore. If it was my choice, I would have ended the band when Richie left and have Jon continue as a solo artist.
However, that was never going to happen and I have no doubt that Jon will continue if either/both Dave and/or Tico decide to call it a day and still call it Bon Jovi. Personally, I feel like he can't carry on for a huge amount of time as a live act due to his rapidly declining vocals. He could still make records (again, preferabley as JBJ not BJ) but I can't see how he can tour for another 10+ years. In a perfect world, one last farewell tour once he can play to full arenas again and I really think it should be left there as far as the "band" goes. |

I have the same love for Richie. I'm a realist, Sambora will never release a better album than SITT, but I don't care, I embrace her new music, some things I like, others I don't. It's not so cool to see him live anymore, but I still want he to keep making solo records. 10 years ago it was more demanding, but it was a different scenario, now they are 60 years old, and expectations change. I also have that feeling with other bands. Just that Bon Jovi was always my favorite band, it may not be the best of the planet, but it is the one that touched me the most. I don't think there is a contradiction in my words. I can shit on a song like Because We Can or Sugar Daddy, but that doesn't mean I want the trip to end. I'm not Mom Soccer Jerry, I don't like everything they do, I even hate some bad decisions to death, but hey, they are artists, more of 30 years in the bussiness, they do what they want... and we decided if buy their shit or not.

I've always said it, for me, Bon Jovi already had some of these problems since 2000. Albums that I don't quite like, but in them, I always find some great songs. The tours were a great incentive until Richie left and Jon lost his voice. But it's not all about live music. That Bon Jovi to continue the journey for about 13 years, it will be more interesting than stopping the train in a couple of years. Imagine that they had separated in 2014. We would not have BB, neither THINFS and 2020. I know, they are not great albums, but there is a good sum of songs that I like, some of them interesting, and that I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy. Today. You can also see it as a trip where we discover unreleased songs, I think we all agree that we would like them to open the vaults, right? some things would be old, and others more recent. You just have to look at the wild enthusiasm that many here have for Mona Lisa, a rather ordinary random song that we have never heard in its fullness, or the diamond in the rough for many, Cadillac Man, be it a live version or a demo. Would be like finding a chest of gold coins. However, many ignore the songs from the latest albums, maybe they are not Dry County or Living on a Prayer, but some of them are better than other albums. If Bon Jovi had stopped in 2014, and now, someone leaks samples or some of the latest songs, I'm sure yourselves would go crazy. In short, I want to keep hearing things that I have never heard before. I want Jon to keep trying to release a good album. I want a return from Richie to this band, damn, I want this to stay alive forever, no matter what. It's kind of like what David said on WWWB, it's not terrible enough to leave, and it's acceptable enough to stay. Just imagining old Jon in 2030 making music... would be comforting to me, like Kenny Rogers in The Gambler. . |
