Exactly! I couldn't have said it better myself. If anyone thinks that Richie, Dave, and Tico have no say in the matter, you're just fooling yourselves. Alec is the one who was instrumental in Richie and Tico becoming members of Bon Jovi by letting them know about Jon. They're all going to be loyal to him. I think some people look for dissention where there is none.

If he wasn't happy with the current situation,
the guy wouldn't play now would he, at least
I hope he wouldn't.

See it however you want and continue your crusade to have Hugh a member of the band. I'm sure when YOU are a member of the band, your opinion might be taken into consideration but until that time, all the arguments in the world are futile. It is not up to you. This is not a fan issue. Fans don't deserve crap from the band, especially input on band decisions. You don't represent Hugh and you don't speak for Hugh. Don't question Jon's loyalty. You don't even know Hugh or Jon. You talk about them as if they're characters on a soap opera. This is real life. And you are not a part of theirs. This is a dead issue. I'd love to see Hugh be a member. It's none of my business. I have no say. I'm not wasting my time on petitions. It's laughable.

Who said Huey wasn't happy? he said it himself in 95: 'it's like christmas every day' ! hey, i'm happy when i get to a Bon Jovi concert! But I'll be even more happy if I made it to first row, and even more happy if I got onstage passes, and completly out of my mind if I got backstage passes!! so does this mean I'm not gonna go to any more concerts just because i don't have backstage passes? no! but does this mean I don't want backstage passes? hell no!
This is about fans wanting to see more of huey, wanting to see him in the pictures, wanting to see him in interviews, wanting to see as much of him as we do of the other guys...

Well apparently it ain't such a big of a deal
to him as it is to you, cause again, if he
wouldn't be happy with this he would probably
already be gone. And a petition for him is
almost like a protest against the rest of the band
for not giving him enough credits or something.

Kris

The whole point of this petition is to show the guys what the fans think... they say they're a fans band, well, here's how the fans feel...
Chances are they'll ignore this petition, sure... But the best to make sure your opinion isn't heard is to keep your mouth shut. It's also the easiest way. And that sure is your right, but please don't criticise people who have the guts to express their opinion by saying 'it's laughable'... cause that really is laughable!

my, my, some of you are blowing this thing waaay of out proportion.. geeezzzz, a crusade??? a protest against the rest of the band???
Hate to disappoint you guys, but I'm no Joan of Arc, and I will not give my life for the nobel cause (not even my money lol)
I'm a Bon Jovi fan, just not one who agrees with eveything the guys say or do... I still have a mind of my own (thank god)
I'm just expressing my feelings on a particular situation which I feel is not right and I'm giving other fans a chance to do the same through this petition. This doesn't mean I like any of the guys in the band any less, they're only human and they have their good and bad sides, and just because I don't always agree with everything doesn't mean I like those guys any less...

He should probably be an official member, but to me it is not that big of a deal. Hugh also played all bass on Destination Anywhere.

:? ... Like.. who cares? This is so old. It's like reading the same book over and over with you people.. Chapter 1, someone brings up the topic.. Chapter 2, someone goes along with it... Chapter 3, SAMBO-CHRIS gets his/her bitchy ass in the way and says that crap like "it's none of our business"...

Seriously, be a little less predictable.

huey is just very happy to be playing with the band, but more would make him even more happy!! (imagine the look on his face then)
i just can imagine him feeling good about it.
oooh you're part of the band, but we don't want you to be on the posters, cd covers, speak in interviews.
i would feel a bit left out actually. and isn't that normal, wouldn't you feel the same, like any normal person would feel???? :roll:
but we just want to let bon jovi know, that we would love to see more of huey, that it's ok. just let go of the past and let huey in.
it's not about we DEMAND that huey becomes a member, but we just let them know what we think, and with how many we would love to see huey.
and it is our business, because jon always said :"bon jovi is a fansband, we never been a radio darlin'" now that sounds to me that we do have something to say.
i rest my case!
