I'm as big a fan of this band as it gets, and a positive one. I'm not going to list my resume but it rivals anybody here. I LOVE THINFS, I LOVE WWWU and Walls - I listen to them in my car and on airplanes every day, but the facts are the facts and he sounds brutal. The whisper-singing isn't working and its a massive fall off from previous tours. You can choose to like the performance and I don't care either way but my opinions are my own and I can't listen to it anymore, I wanted to change the channel. There has never been a time in my life where I have thought that. The only reason I mentioned Twitter is because you search "Bon Jovi" and you read hundreds of tweets that basically say the same thing, by people that don't know each other, its an observation. When people say "What's wrong with his Mic" or "He must be really sick" its an unbiased observation of what they're hearing. Regardless - you can say he "may" have sounded bad. I say (in my opinion) he was absolutely terrible. I'm not happy about it, but its what I heard. Unlistenable. And believe me, with the time, money and emotion I've put into this band in my life, ive earned the right to my opinion. Nobody asked you to agree. |

Haven't heard the performance, but given how he has sounded recently, Jon should really take time off. Take off as much time as he NEEDS to, not as he WANTS to, to recover his voice, to maybe even have throat surgery (it worked for Adele) or see whatever experts that might be able to help the situation, to maybe write new songs in the meantime (so he doesn't feel lazy), whatever. I enjoyed the recent Richie-less output more than I'd figured I would, so this is not to spite his body of work, but I really feel they're not doing themselves any favors.
Consider this: We only have live recordings of certain rarities, and clear soundboard versions are sought after. For about a year, a live performance of the first verse + chorus of HAND's demo version was all we had from the song and it still got us hyped. How hyped would you be if a recent live performance of a song was all you had to judge its quality on? Plus, if the band is just a studio act nowadays, I still prefer great peformances in that context as well. You can hear Jon's voice gotten weaker on the studio cuts as well, and that won't be helped if he continues to beat it with a rusty knife live. I respect the man's work ethic and desire to put out the product and put up the goods, but really, he deserves and needs a break. The art, product and result will be better for it. |
I agree with the above... He should just make albums and stop touring... Or just some spot shows... Like 20 gig's in major cities to promote and that's it...
