This is actually funny... i'm from italy and my favourite singer is Vasco Rossi... now there is another singer that is sort of a rival to him and is Ligabue...the most famous song of Ligabue is Certe Notti and is pretty much a copy of bed of roses (when i mean copy i mean in some parts it has the exact same notes)...so many years ago i started listening to bed of roses because of this and finally discovered Bon Jovi!!

I started liking Bon jovi when my mom bought OWN 85~01 and when i listened to IML, i loved it. Then went LOAP YGLABN and so on. That was i think in 2012 ish. Then in 2013 i got WAN. I loved all the songs so i decided to listen to all of their songs. Went back their debut album listened to all of their tracks from 84. After finishing the whole bon jovi library i became addicted to it and started collecting live recordings too. And i actually all the live recordings for this tour too. And I don't have any songs that i hate so all songs are welcome for the concert setlist but idk... i kinda got bored for this tour cuz Jon keeps playing the same thing over and over....hope he will put some rarities for the setlist for future venues.

It was January 1995 for me. I got a Boots Voucher for my 14th Birthday and used it to buy Crossroad on Cassette. This was shortly followed by the These Days cassette in the summer of '95. An album that I still listen to frequently today, with the strength of the lyrics holding up in 2017 as strongly as ever.

The music blew my mind and I have been a huge fan every since. I seen them various times over the years and have a huge collection of CDs, Vinyl and Cassette from all over the world.

The band have been and are a massive part of my life.

Since 78 have lived and breathed KISS so when Jovi were announced as the KISS support on the Animalize Euro Tour I knew I would get to see them. One of my friends had heard the debut album and said it was ok. Was lucky enough to meet the band a couple of times on the tour.On the opening day of the tour in Brighton the band actually asked my mate and I who were sat outside the arena where they had to load in. Another lad joined us in the queue (all two of us) and he was over from Canada and knew all about Jovi.He also had a camera with him that day and was snapping away constantly. As luck would have it a couple of years ago I got in touch with him and I arranged to meet up with him on the KISS Kruise. He surprised me when he gave me a photo from that day back in 1984.A couple of the Jovi band members were on the photo along with Doc McGee (with hair).
From 84 onwards I saw Jovi at least twice every tour but fell out of love with them once they stopped being the rock band that I remembered from their early days. Their sound seems to have changed drastically during the last decade and the last concert I saw was awful. They had a fiddler and a steel guitarist on the stage, I knew after that night I wouldnt ever see them again.
I still get a tingle when a Jovi song from the early days comes on my IPod, great times and great memories.
