I'm pretty sure it wasn't; but I like the way you think!
The part I thought surely had to be a joke (but probably wasn't), was this comment (about 31 minutes in): "It wasnt 'the darkness' it was 'the awakening'...I liked that. And I think this bigger, better, newer... y'know, me, and the band... "
I'm still trying to figure out on what planet and in which universe ANYBODY would think that what we have now is a "better" Jon OR a "better" band. Bigger and newer, I'll give him; but BETTER??? I seriously hope he's just whistling in the dark to save face, or trying to sell the hype; because if he truly
believes that BS, he's gone waaaaay past delusional. He's certifiable! His brain is goo... I don't know of
anyone who thinks this lineup or this Jon is better than they were 5 + years ago. (That's not quite true. I do know one person who thinks this is a "new and improved" version of Bon Jovi. But considering the source, I can't say that surprised me.)
I'll give the man credit for carrying on; I admire him for that. And anybody can see that it has been a struggle. And I think the band sounds good on THINFS and in the promo shows. But
better than what they had before? No way. Even if you take the missing guitarist out of the picture, Jon's voice and stage presence, alone, would make that a ridiculous statement. Nice try, though, Jonny.
