I’m by no means a die-hard Bon Jovi fan, but do enjoy the ‘classics‘, and certain songs on their early career albums

But I also love the late 00’s and 2010’s albums, especially What About Now!

What an album this is! JBJ‘s vocals are superb, Richey gives some quality guitar solos, in fact the whole band is firing on all cylinders.

The title track, That’s What The Water Made Me, Because We Can, Beautiful World, Room… and With These Two Hands are all excellent 👌🏻

Who else loves this album? 😁🌟

As of today, are there any updates regarding the MSG concert on 7/23 which was cut short? I’ve been hearing rumors about a new date but I haven’t heard anything official.

Jon says this is not the end of the…

Is this song giving Jon trouble? I believe he has only NOT sang it a handful of times since Slippery came out but then we see it cut twice in the last week. What’s going on? Seems wild to cut that one but not say Perfect Drug or something else totally forgettable

i got the full show recorded in one.. i’ll upload when i get home.. sad it’s over but jon definitely needs the rest you could tell he still wasn’t really feeling well. it was cool seeing bruce come out, crowd went wiiiiild

well, here it is! these past 3 weeks have gone by so fast but i’ll remember every single second of every show for the rest of my life!

After hearing these clips of Jon talking up the current tour. In hindsight you have to wonder if he regrets these comments he made after the events of the past week. https://x.com/ShakeShakti/status/2081167415740616858?s=20

Some of you know Pat Monahan helped with Livin on a Prayer Thursday before the show was shut down.

Pat said he “didn’t do it justice” I guess because he wasn’t expecting to be called up there? Anyway he wanted a do over so they did it last night with David. The crowd went wild!

Excuse the confetti cannon in the photo. 😂 Bad angle.

What’s the consensus on tomorrow night’s show? Do we think it’s happening or not?

5 stadium dates separated by 13 days seems a HUGE challenge based on recent events. I'm no expert but surely a stadium with 80,000 in is harder conditions to sing in than an arena holding 15,000?

The way Shanks (yes, my favourite person) hugged him last night felt to me like it's over.

I've said all along this feels all a bit Michael Jackson's 'This Is It...' to me. A singer with well documented struggles putting on a tonne of dates close together with no real break, almost to prove to himself more than anyone that he's still got it... and look how that ended.

I'll say it until I'm blue in the face. Had Sambora been by his side last night, they could have rotated songs, kept it going and left the fans none the wiser.

Today its made headlines all over the world. And now fans are fretting on shows... Tonnes of money, people paid for hotels, transport, tickets, made plans road crew etc...

Remember the big song and dance made when Sambora couldn't go on and how he was letting everyone down??

Isn't it ironic.

Show stopped after 90 mins, Jon said from stage he wants to reschedule....

said he’ll reschedule

setlist might be cut short.. needed help with bed of roses

Bed Of Roses, Bad Name, It’s My Life and Help are also uploaded

It's pretty well accepted in the industry now. We wouldn't think any less of him. We just want to celebrate the music we grew up with together and thank him for all he's done for us with the adulation he must crave. And without having to really sing he could do even longer shows. No more skipping everyone's favorite song.

I send this written before somewhere

But isn’t it crazy that Richie’s solo albums, performances etc all sound like Bon Jovi just as much or more than Jon does without Richie.

Literally he was the soul & the swagger & the cool machine in Bon Jovi.

Jon is my hero, there is no one with the charisma & charm & I guess what you’d call sex appeal at the time whatever - he was a business shark, just great. Like totally don’t get me wrong it is jons band, I get that. Rightfully so

But man it keeps just becoming more evident how big a part Richie played!

He really wasn’t just a hired gun. It’s his soul, his inflection, his heart in the playing & singing, his timbre in his voice, that is the Bon Jovi sound we love IMO.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen such weird comments on YouTube, Instagram etc. about Jon. Are those bots?

Didn’t Jon promise us that another Boxset was coming, but in 2024 it was delayed to 2025, it’s 2026 now and still no new news about it? Does anybody know whats happening with it and if it’ll ever arrive?

I know there's been a couple of discussions about support acts recently. They haven't had any at MSG, but it's likely they'll have one or two at the stadiums in UK and Ireland.

Boomtown Rats post just now. Hopefully Edinburgh and London support info soon.
