Don’t start the scary background music yet, ladies. There's no cause for alarm, I assure you. No cyber stalking, no tracking of posts, and no personal grudges. I just have a decent memory when it comes to things that people say, especially some of the more outlandish or colorful comments, like “He’s so full of shit I can smell him from here”. And as Kathleen pointed out, there is a search function so it was hardly any trouble at all to find the post. Wham, bam, done!

As I’ve said before, I can’t hold on to a grudge with super-glue. But there are a few things that really get under my skin. One of them is double standards. IMO, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. So if it’s okay for one person to say he or she thinks someone is lying, I don't see why it should pose a problem for them when someone else says the same thing.

Another thing that bothers me is the unfair way a few of the people here consistently jump all over Rolo for simply expressing opinions that they don’t happen to agree with when, in most cases, he’s saying nothing more than what other people have said with no repercussions whatsoever.

This post just happened to hit both of those triggers, so it was well worth the few minutes it took to do a search. That’s all. I’m sorry it couldn’t be more exciting than that, but it is what it is.

Thanks, Bleeding Purist. I'm glad you remember the comment, too, even if it was for different reasons. Perhaps it will help reassure people before they become too concerned about my state of mind. :roll:

I recall a lot of comments ppl make - those I strongly disagree with as well as those that resonate for some reason. "Mentally cataloging" is an excellent description of the process.

I know a lot of folks here do that because I've been challenged for some of my comments, too - sometimes long after I made them.

Much ado about nothing, really; but thanks, anyway.

Motley with Corabi was amazing but if you exclude that album Crue hadn't released anything worth listening to since Feelgood in 89.

Sixx speaks a lot of shit but this time he is correct!

Sometimes I wonder why, if Jon insists on playing his acoustic on almost every new song live why does he have shanks record every guitar part on the songs??

Im so over Jons black acoustic guitar .... Everytime he grabs it live now i know we are in for a boring 5 minutes .....

To be fair, this board can at times come across as anti Bon Jovi if you are a new poster.

I had a similar issue years ago when I first joined. I felt a lot of people were overly negative. The problem for me then, and some newer posters now, is in not realising (or bothering to find out) that a lot of the "negative" posts were preceded by positive ones.

Stuff like "you only complain about the band, why bother" etc is not a fair reflection on what someone has posted over the years of following a band.

People have different views on what's good or bad. If something is considered great by one and shite by many, that one person isn't wrong. Nor are they right. It's just what works for you personally.

I have certainly become more critical of the band (especially JBJ & Richie) over the years.

Anyway, back on topic. I was hoping there would have been at least one 6 min plus song. :(

I just can not believe the words of tico, if the guy is telling the truth, I can not believe him. As simple as that. In fact it is sad that we have no images of how recorded the albums to prove it. When they recorded Crush and Bounce see on Bon Jovi TV, we could see some studio sessions, the thing was more real.

I wonder if the Japanese edition dvd, we see the band recording in the avatar studios? or another dvd recycling of live performances and some promos of the new album?

Agreed. BonJoviTV was great and I miss that. But actually there are some rare photos from all studio sessions, here's a little example from "What About Now" session. There is also some video footage from "Lost Highway" session.

Nicely said!! I often seem to LOVE the songs that most here detest. Been that way, seems, with each release so I'm sure this next one will be no different lol!!

Anyone who "mentally catalogs" something for #two years# to hold it against someone later is at the very least holding a grudge. And it is very unsettling to me because it's not the first time you've quoted me years after the fact.

Not everyone is going to see things your way. If you're hanging onto posts for two years it appears you have too much rage in your heart over something that is essentially insignificant.
