A 2-page show thread (most of which was a farce)? What was the Hyde Park 2011 thread, 125 pages? Wow, times have changed.

Yep, they have. Although a tad unfair to compare an arena show in Spokane with a park in London but I get your point.

We're all just going through the motions I think, waiting to see what the hell is going to happen. Once this tour is over what's next?

Surely a JBJ solo album is due and then maybe times a healer.

I like Phil as a person and as a musician but if there is a new Bon Jovi record that doesn't have Richie on it, even though Richie is alive then I'm out. I would no longer call myself a fan. I would say 'I liked them in the 90's'.

This thread sums up the general vibe around Bon Jovi nowadays.

The set list is a nightmare, but the band performance is even worse. Scannella is lost. Tico, come back soon.

^^^this...me too...right at this moment in time, I don't give a flying rats ass for this album or this tour...they get their shit together or they don't...am over the theatrics of the whole shebang.

I get that this probably wasn't the best show, being that Tico still wasn't there plus the obvious absense of Richie but, this was cool. Scannella is playing really slow but somehow Jon made it fun, he should do this every time this song is played, it makes it more tolerable somehow....
