I wasn't clear before, I meant semi-acoustics versions. I think nobody is really dying to hear his rendition of electric Prayer now

I was thinking about what crashed said and I tried to come up with any other song that could be interchangeable with Bad Medicine or Who Says and I came up empty. I know it could be worse but they are really limiting their choices if the requisites are easy to sing and a top charting single (or in Who Says case, an award winning song).

I wish they would've believed more in other songs from the last 15 years but once you take the high vocals out of the equation, we are really left with little choice.

Are they going to survive live if THINFS is not a success (both album and tour)? Considering they drop songs the minute Jon feels they don't work, we could go back to square one, which is LH because Jon won't look back any further than that.

I really hope they give this album the chance it deserves. Jon seems so proud but could he fight for the album if the fans don't care? He sure preaches about the no ****s/nothing to prove attitude but who knows what kind of deal the band has now and how much they can get away with...

Good audio (for a phone) ;) :)

Great gig. Band was on top form and Phil was brilliant but there's no way they can do a 2hr 30m set in a stadium anymore and every fan I spoke to said they'd like to see the shows in smaller venues. JBJ sounded great, Tico was immense as well

jon gives a shit, more since lost highway so if the voice improves a bit in order to make listenable some classics this tour is gonna be strong

only jons vocal chords are the problem and he ll have some time to recover til tour, other than that an arena to a stadium is not a huge difference just some more thousands

All songs are great with the exception of Blind Love and Reunion.
The rest are amazing. Just hope Shanks hasn't ruined it with his production

Freudian slip lol

It sure looked and sounded more rock and roll than I expected.

Thanks for the review

Reaal Love even if they are very similar

I agree. I hope Jon plays the majority of THINFS, and some classics which depending on his voice he feels he could do a reasonable job. 1 and Half to 2 hours max I feel Jon and Tico can do now at a show(s)

I thought Jon's voice sounded better tonight than at Count Basie, but I'm not expecting his vocals to improve on the classics as Bad Medicine as his voice is gone, but we shall see what his voice is like at the middle and end of the tour in 2017.

This is probably going to be the best album in 10 years. Only a couple of fillers and even they aren't bad.

Band sounded fantastic, Jon's voice was fine on all the new songs plus who says. Bad medicine is just awful sadly. It just sounds so so bad, at least on the verses. I don't know if they can get round that, although the band are great on it. They will have to see what songs are possible with Jon's voice.

The band was superb all night, Phil was amazing on WDR and him & Hughie along with Everett were having a great time. Tico was amazing and Dave was a ledge as ever and backed Jon up admirably.

Devils in the Temple, if it translates to record as it does live, could end up being the best bon Jovi song in many years.

A fantastic night.

Thanks for the reviews all. :)
