Future of Bon Jovi?!
 

How long do you think bon jovi will be together such as.....
1)How many years do they have left as a band?
2)How many more Albums will they make?
3)How many more tours will there be etc.....
Lately, i have just been thinking that Bon Jovi won't be together anymore and maybe a few years ago i thought they would be like the Rolling Stones and carry on until there 60 onwards!!
Any ideas??

I think they will be around for another gd 10-15 years or so but we'll probably have another couple of lengthy 3 or 4 years breaks from the band during that time...

but who knows to be honest, even they themselves don't really know...

Do we have to know? Why not just enjoy them at the moment and not worry about what is to come? I am sure that is what they are doing. They will be enjoying all that they have at the moment and I don't think that they will be worrying about it!

Hard to say how long theyl be together. They could end up like alot of older bands, and still be ''together'' but actually not do anything for years at a time.

Bon Jovi are still however VERY active for their age - sure some of the recent albums have been so-so and the world tours arent exactly world tours anymore, but 5 studio albums and 4 Tours in 6/7years is great going for a band like Bon Jovi (hell, its great going for any band), this isnt counting the boxset and OWN live album. And we've got another GH record with a tour coming up, followed by possibly another band album.
There is no way the band can keep this up, but this doesnt mean they need to break up. After all this Lost Highways and GH stuff dies down in a year or so, we may see a solo album or two then a more lengthy break.
But the guys love their jobs so much, the only thing i feel that would break the band up for good would be personal differences (or a plane crash etc), and, well, Jon and Richie are as close as you can get nowadays - besides, they have done the whole 'breakup' thing already pre-KTF.

So, no - I dont they will break up for at least another good while, but I do think they are due a long break ala Thesedays>>>Crush period.

I hope thats the case then, bt it jst worries me to think, how hard would it be if they split or anything, i hope they do go on like the rolling stones and status quo and bands like them, that would be great!

Touring may die way down but the musical output will not. solo or band I'm more than happy either way.

I've read the following:
"the band has longer term plans to get back in the studio next year for another new studio album which should be released late 2008/early 2009"
:D

Jon said on the boxset they were just getting started and here's to the next 20 years.
:D

I can see them being another Rolling Stones type of band loosing popularity in the charts so less emphasis on new material every year but still with time for tours and greatest hits releases. They'll be a band that won't stop until someone packs it in (through death, bad health) then that'll be a reason to retire. They're too well established to just give in for no particular reason. I think they've had time to settle things like musical and personal differences.
