It may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't know who that Jerry is and I don't give a damn. We are all fans of this ****ing band. Leave the guy alone.

What we should do is organize ourselves to they launch new things in JBJ Experience. I'm not saying we're being aggressive about this, but we could kindly ask them to release never-before-seen tracks-stuff. They cannot ignore all the posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter asking for this.

But we would have to organize, for example, choose a day of the week, and a specific time, and call it #IWantTracksNeverBeforeSeen or #WhereAreTheNeverBeforeSeenStuff... imagine, every Wednesday at 10am. If all the fans synchronized, we would grow every week with this request.

Damn, we have to push a bit to get what we want, if there is no demand, nothing will happen.

I'd never heard of this Jerry guy until the posts on here recently, but had a look at his twitter and wow. Every band has their super obsessed, borderline creepy fans. BUT you need to keep these fans at arms length. They are usually very unstable and if you let them in to the inner circle you are only causing trouble for yourself somewhere down the line, and will probably end up alientating other fans. I can't imagne Jon would really want this guy getting too close. A public tweet like that from Matt is a big mistake. More evidence he has no clue what he's doing. He's been out of his depth for years.

You sure about that? This band is pretty renouned for ignoring what the fans actually want..

I don't think so, I have been a fan of this band for over 20 years, and when it comes to organize petition online, no one has organized and moved a request for its release. The Bon Jovi fandom is not a fighter, it just complains about things. U2 fans for example have fought hard for some shows that were not initially going to be released, and they got it, as well as oddities etc ...

Jon loves to be loved, if they notice a strong demand they will take advantage of that, and Jon will get the medal WE LISTEN OUR FANS, but for that, you need to be organized, and be persistent. No insults, just add a message asking for what we want by adding a hagtag, and publish it on all your official accounts.




But the idea is to going politely, you know the typical message I love Bon Jovi or I Love JBJ EX but ... we need / we want insert hagtagh

On this site, there are fans from all over the world, there are smart and brilliant people, with great ideas, let's just give it a try together. Let's think of something easy to make and do the Jovi camp feel some pressure. I insist, always with respect, a friendly, but constant request.

Wednesday - "JBJ Experience Petition Day" or something like that.

opinions?

Jerry is getting married at some point when covid allows, so I don't think the first bit is true. But yeah, his inability to criticise the band is a bit weird.

Who is this Jerry fella and why does anybody care about him?

It is bizarre enough that anyone even cares about Matt, who is clearly just a weirdo who makes a living off his successful brother, but why anyone would give a shit about what some randomer on Twitter thinks is really bizarre.

The difference with me is, I actually couldn't give a shit what they think of me. I've been blocked by Matt for the last 18 months or whatever it may be. I was also blocked by Jerry. Me being me heard he was depressed and the constant back and forth we once had (only because we disagree on stuff) I asked someone to reach out and see if he was ok from me. That kind of got us talking and he thanked me etc...

The other day was petty and childish. I posted about The One Show and a few other tweets and he almost word for word copied them. Didn't retweet or anything. Fine. But it was almost identical tweets. I then posted the clip of Story Of Love. He screen shot clips from it and posted them. I noticed my TV sticker in the corner and asked why he didn't just retweet my post? To which he then lied and said he got it off a stream he was watching. I said that we must have the same TV sticker then...

He then kicked off and brought my income into it (which for a large chunk of the last 12 months has been non existent with being self employed) which is bang out of order. What HE or MATT think of me doesn't bother me but don't bring my income and say I'm 'begging' for money.

As Seb said, I've got enough going on right now than to even remotely care about him. I really couldn't care less. The tweet, which he deleted not long after, was extremely low of him. I can only imagine he's deleted the tweet because he didn't want his cult to see him showing a different side.

I may not know that much about Jerry Braden, but one thing I do know for sure and that is him not being quite right on the head.

It's clear as a day that he's a disturbed individual with his ridiculous JBJ obsession (+ desperate need to shoot down all types of criticism towards his idol) and I'd say he might even need professional help by now to overcome it.

He's the male equivalent of the stereotypical housewife JBJ worshipper for whom everything's just rainbows and ponies, and Jon is Mr. Perfect who can do no wrong. Very odd behavior.

I'm really sorry to hear that, man. That's really bad what he did but don't let him bring you down. I really hope things start to take a turn for the better for you and we all get to look back on this time as a weird point in history. My best mate owns a gym too and it is devastating what is happening but hopefully business will be good when things improve as more and more people will realise the importance of staying healthy and in good shape.

Also, I listened to I Talk to Jesus yesterday for the first time in probably 10 years. Sounds like an apt song for Jerry.
