Another example of great minds thinking alike!

Posted about this yesterday, moving it here:

"Keith" without a surname is always Keith Richards. So what about it? Did he regain his golden voice of the old days then?

Jon losing weight for the tour with have a really small impact on how he will move around. The man has had surgery on knees and is nearly in his mid 50's!

I said a few months ago that he put on a fair bit of weight and of course, people like Becky were in denial, but this won't suddenly make him move up & down the stage more if he does lose it again.

I train clients daily as I'm a Personal Trainer and I have some clients who are 14stone plus who have a great level of fitness. The difference with Jon, I just don't think he can be assed moving up & down the stage. That and the fact he probably can't or is scared something will blow again.

It is good to see that Jon is happy with the album. A part of me was expecting the whole 'it's a great rock and roll record' but we didn't get that. He did seem happy and said it was 'what they were about now' which is interesting.

Great news about the album! I don't think we'll ever know much about what went down and who was demanding what or why there was a fallout between Jon and the record company. I find it interesting because of what Jon said before his solo show in Vancouver "that whole you need to do this, or you need to have that in order to". Of course I'm paraphrasing but that whole statement was broken and without any real direction, as if he started saying something he wasn't supposed to and stopped halfway through. Maybe money was just half the issue and ,musical direction or image had something to do with it. I wish they were more direct and open about what went down but then, it wouldn't be fun to speculate and now nobody feels to stupid because nobody is really wrong in what they think happened.

Yes, since Keith Richards is known as a SINGER and his picture is in both my avatar and signature it's obvious that's who I meant. LOL

Actually, KEITH is singing better than he did prior to surgery, both because he had the surgery and he's working with a trainer.

For those of you who say I don't see any flaws in Jon, that is not the case. I see his flaws. It's just some of you don't see any positive qualities in him so since you see nothing but negative qualities and never comment on anything but negative things someone has to balance you out. It might as well be me.

When discuss Jon about the Label ?

I haven't been able to find that either, so I'd be interested in seeing it, too.

If anyone is interested, however, while I was looking for a clip where Jon talked about that I did run across another video of Jon's comments about the record. It was shot from a different angle and the sound quality was much better than the first one I saw. I caught a few errors in my original transcript, so I corrected my post (p. 120 of this thread, I think). Nothing substantial really; I'm just a little nit-picky that way. :roll:

All the twitter accounts that have good bon jovi info do not have a clip (yet) of JBJ saying he was back at UMG.

I wonder whether its true?

I'm more than happy to wait for the album. I'm glad it's been pushed back.

I'm still excited for new stuff, I'm just not dying for it. Once the last quarter of the year comes around I'll have more anticipation.

I hope Jon got better terms with this new contract now it's looking like he's backpedaled. Makes the song burning bridges less clever/funny if he's back with them!
