I would love one new recording of anything with the original band.

That's awesome!! Glad you got to the show! And yes, the PRU sound sucks! It has since the arena opened. And I'm with your sentiment on Jon attempting the difficult songs.

Not if you deleted it before he read it.

I hope that Richie's feelings about Bon Jovi change after attending that show. And I expect the same from Jon. They both had something special together.

It's gotta be such a mental trip to see your old band perform on stage.

This has to be one of the most peaceful and rational breakups I've ever seen... I gotta hand it to Jon for handling it the way he did. Kudos to him!!!

I don't think Richie will ever rejoin Bon Jovi. Richie doesn't want to get back on that machine and I don't think Jon would ever let him rejoin the band even if he wanted to.

However, I don't think this RARHOF performance is the end of the road for them either. I think this is the Ice Breaker they both needed and will re-realize their chemistry. Once both current projects dry up, I could see them doing something together again. I'm not sure what that something is but something... Maybe an EP with a few acoustic spot shows or something light. Hey, stranger things have happened... And I would love nothing more than a new song (a real song) with ALL of them. Just a cool jam session type song for the fans. With all that talent, they could whip something up in Jon's home studio within days.

Fair enough - I didn't listen before I posted that. I guess my memory of Giants 2006 was that it was awful. And I think for that time it was which is why it stuck in my memory that way.

Yeah I was thinking about that too... must be weird as hell being on the other side of the barricade at a show you've been part of for 30 years

Richie doesn't look impressed.

He doesn't look unimpressed...just focused

I'd go with unimpressed as well.

Exactly my impression!

Are you guys friggen serious? One photo of a dude looking at a stage tells you he is unimpressed or focussed or whatever? I bet half of you, including myself, look like that for half of the show regardless of the band and the emotion. I am by no means a richie fan, but goddammit this is ridiculous.

Is this a bon jovi forum or a TMZ gossip column forum?

Oh 100 percent. Between that a photo of Alec and determining he's probably still on drugs sometimes this board is just too much.

Actually, I wasn't. Just taking the piss, but it's getting way too easy these days. Everyone seems to be so dead on serious about everything around here.

Quick off topic question- did anyone at Sunday’s show actually think Jon could have had the flu? I’m thinking it about had to be something else, even a stomach bug. Because flu this year has been so awful, I couldn’t imagine putting on a 2 1/2 hour show with all of his energy after just getting over flu. I had it last year, and I’m very active and fit, and it had me in bed for days.

Aloha !

This is a Bon Jovi forum. I'm surprised you don't know.

Further on, regardless of the band and the emotion half of us aren't impressed either because it'll sound shit anyway. The other half is retarded and to be fair, I have the same look on my face whenever I'm reading posts from R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ several users on this board. I really think we're on to something here.

Yeah but R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ several users on this board can't take a joke either. Try bantering with R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ several users of this board and they take it as a personal attack.

Aloha !

Yeah but then again they probably don't understand most jokes as we're always on a very sophisticated and intellectual level here. If R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r they'd be any more stupid we'd have to water R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ them.

I have some pretty smart plants, dude. Don't compare my smart plants with the intellectual stability of R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ a few users of this board.

Aloha !

Ssh. We should quit while we're ahead. Unlike R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ several posters we don't need over 6.000 posts before we know when to stop.

How's the weather over there in Holland?

Aloha !

How should I know? I am in New Jersey right now, looking for like-minded intellectual human beings like myself.

Salaam Aleikum,

Yeah... you guys really know how to kill a joke... and ruin a thread... congratulations on both...

Right right I forgot. It's pretty hard to find those over there. Did you know that R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ a lot of users from the forum went to a bon jovi show there the other day?

Aloha !

Yeah, I did, but unlike them idiots I was backstage with the intelligent people being unimpressed with Richie.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I could tell from that photo (with the help of some really intelligent people on this forum), that Richie was REALLY unimpressed.

Aloha !

Was he as unimpressed as your smart plants though?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Plants don't have faces, silly. I have no idea. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Aloha !

Then why are my plants in my hotel room all wearing sunglasses?

Woah those plants do look unimpressed. I know that because they look like Richie watching the Bon Jovi show.

Aloha !

Nah, they're on drugs and are hiding their eyes. I can tell because Alec looks the same way when he's wearing glasses.

Salaam Aleikum,

Doesn't Jon also wear sunglasses indoors? And same with Bono?

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2b/43/33/2...282367f3a6.jpg

This is what Bono looks like without sunglasses. Do you think Richie would look more impressed if R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ Bono didn't wear sunglasses?

Aloha !

I don't know but judging by that picture I reckon Bono's taking the same things R̶d̶k̶o̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ Richie and Alec take.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Woah, Bono is on drugs? Call TMZ!!!!!!!

Oh c'mon guys I wasn't being serious.

I cannot believe Jon had the bad flu and that he recovered so quickly. Perhaps he was not ill (other band members were) or had the “stomach flu”.

I believe Phil was out and about per Instagram during the cancelled concerts?
