What's that "emergency button" on the floor in front of Tico's drumset? Never noticed it before.

I don't want to sound like a broken record but it's easy to sit back and focus in on Jon voice through YouTube videos... There is a totally different vibe being there live in person... I'm not saying Jon's voice doesn't suck because it does... but there is also so much other stuff going on that doesn't get picked up on YouTube that distracts from those vocals...
We're not just fanboys making this all up... here is yet another review of someone having an amazing time at a Bon Jovi concert in 2017... I think people making decisions not to attend shows based on the three YouTube videos you watched of your favorite songs is a shitty decision... Listen to the fans instead... It's not 1995 anymore, these guys are now in their mid 50s to 60s but it's still better than most acts out there today... This I guarantee Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk |

Being excited about a show and having a great time is all well and good, and those reviews are completely valid, but that doesn't mean everyone will. Those that get caught up in the excitement absolutely have valid reviews, but it doesn't change the fact for most that Jon's voice is mostly pretty bad, his performance as a front man is somewhat lacking, and as good as the band sound, it just isn't the Bon Jovi that we know and love! Whether you are there in person or watching it on YouTube that isn't going to change for some.... |

When you look at the entire set list of 24 or so songs, 20 of them are okay... He okay with the new stuff, he's okay on the lifeless songs like LH & Born To Follow, the big anthem songs are okay too because of the acoustics like IML, HAND, WGIGO... Every so often you do hear a butchered note but it's not enough to take anything away from the show or make you wanna walk out... In my opinion, reading the same people cry over and over again, like yourself, is getting old... 'I miss 2011, I miss 2013, I miss Richie Sambora'... Look I miss it all too but I'm not going to cry about it... Change is part of life. Age is part of life. I miss the Classic Star Wars movies but it doesn't mean that I can't enjoy Rogue One or The Fore Awakens. They can't compare to the original films but there are still elements of nostalgia and they are enjoyable to watch... |

And the statement that they're still better than most acts out there is just a fanboy's point of view. For that you either only go to washed up acts that had their prime over 30 years ago or you simply don't listen to anything else but Bon Jovi. I guess in the last 2 or 3 years alone I've seen between 10 and 15 acts whose live shows were far superior, even if they didn't play the big stadiums. Not better than Bon Jovi at their peak or on good days the past decade, but certainly lightyears better than the Bon Jovi of 2017. |

Also, Phil ****ed up on These Days. Jon's face was priceless. |

Now, I can't speak for every band out there today but quick story...I'm a huge Queen fan and couldn't wait to see Queen and Lambert this past summer... The show was fantastic. Lambert's vocals were amazing, the band was on fire, the stage show with the lights, costume changes, props were right on but I still walked away with a bit of disappointment. It was a perfect show and I would definitely go again and even recommend it, however there was still a disconnect... I don't know why, I can't pin point it, but that's how I felt... I didn't walk out of there with that feeling of fulfillment or excitement... Now even though Bon Jovi is a knocked down version of what it once was, Jon still brings something that most bands don't.. And true, I do go to see a lot of washed up 30 plus year old bands but I've seen some relatively newer acts too. One last point... I also went to see a bunch of shows in 2013... I was at all the NMS shows and I think, vocals aside, the 2017 shows are way better... I like THINFS better than WAN so swapping out those songs do help... Phil is much better and more comfortable now... I like that Bobby is gone and Shanks and Bradley are in... In 2013, Jon was just treading water.... This is a rehearsed band and a new band... It's a rebirth and I actually like it... In '13, it was all the same with Richie being swapped out for Phil... Now it's a different band and they are bringing a different magic. |

BTY, It's a losing argument on here but I totally get where you're coming from attending three shows myself back in May... |

Judging by YT videos the crowd was indeed very loud, I'm glad you had a great time and Jon read your TAALS banner. Maybe he'll reconsider for future shows... |

I'm the first to bash Jon, in 2013 I said he was in autopilot (though performed well). But last night he and the band were amazing. |
And also on Lay Your Hands On Me
I cant understand how anybody who writes on this board can doubt on Jon as a frontman https://youtu.be/K63T9ekcKYI |
Quote:
But you're an expert based on all the zero show that you attended... Please tell us how the weather was too last night? Was it cold? |

Jon said that this tour was going to be just about the music,not about big screens,and running over the stage like in the past. He remarked that the tour was going to be mainly about 7 musicians on the stage ang giving the songs more importance To see Jon running on a stage I can watch Super Rock 84 on yt |

Sammy Hagar is 70 years old and the guy still puts on an entertaining show. Mick Jagger? I could list of a many many others that are in their 60s and still do....but then these guy don't have to use all their energy trying to hit the notes... You guys can live in denial as much as you want...enjoy! |
