anyone else see these guys on the UK hall of fame awards? They put on a great show and look like a great live band in general. Any thoughts?

    a little testimony from other ppl on the board who don't think GNR are washed up:

    sebastian bach quite impressed me as well. i went in under the assumption that he would be a washed-up untalented hair metal throwback, but he definitely had a lot of talent. and charisma, he had a lot of that too, and he really got the crowd psyched up for gnr.

    ricky, julian & bubbles were easily the highlight of last night's show for me. i fucking love the trailer park boys and absolutely loved bubbles coming out to sing. and julian of course had a mixed drink in hand.

    i coulda done without the suicide girls' 30-minute set. i mean i have the internet, so i don't really need a public show.

    the first opener was horrible. sounded familiar, but i can't place where i know them from. terrible. it sounded like one continuous song throughout their thirty minute set. anyone know who they were so i can ensure i never have to endure them again? thanks in advance.

    i'd see gnr again for sure. it was quite an experience. wow.

    When was the last time bon jovi made an album that didnt sound like the first 2 or 3?

    supposedly its coming out this tuesday, nov 21.

    http://www.petersreviews.com/index.php?/archives/2540-Will-Guns-N-Roses-New-CD-Be-Released-on-November-21.html

    or some other Tuesday before the end of the year. as its says on the GnR MySpace page:

    As for Guns N' Roses forthcoming "Chinese Democracy" album the only comment at this time is that there are 13 Tuesdays left between now and the end of the year.

    I guess that was written in September.

    from what I hear, we won't officially know when it's been released until the day it's released.





    anyway... bon jovi sucks zebra ass.

    GNR are so awesome, they don't HAVE to always show up for their own concerts! They're so cool, they keep their fans waiting until 11 or later just to start the show, if they show up at all. Man that Axl is such a bad ass,


    G N R SUCKS !!!!

    All I know is that Jon Bon Jovi is scary looking on an HDTV. Have you seen those commercials on the MHD channel? Yikes! :eek: He looks like he is 68 years old.
    NERDS!
  • Pearls&StonesPearls&Stones Posts: 585
    ... and on to the original point, I don't hate Bon Jovi. I just don't understand why so many people are so infatuated with them. I'd like them better if they could only write half decent lyrics.

    Anyway, lets not turn this into a bon jovi or gnr thread. Cause I'd be on gnr side so that means we'd win by default. (Jesus, i'm fucking kidding. Stop looking at me like that)

    Sounds like Axel got himself some really fine musicians-for-hire.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    The least I would expect from a band who have been around for 25 years is to put on a decent live show. Still doesn't take away from the fact over those 25 years they only have a very small handful of decent songs and most of those were written in the first 10 years.

    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    Yer I saw it, I've seen them live too, they're OK. A bit corny though.

    I was annoyed that O'Leary said "the band that invented the mosh pit", and then seeing Chad Kroeger with his makeup on talking about how theu're the saviours of R&R.

    But I guess its alright cause they did say pop-rock, rather than rock or metal.
  • soapyrowssoapyrows Posts: 235
    i have to say they are one of my all-time fave bands. but jon bon jovi is startnig to shit me up the wall in recent years. just something about him. all his 'good deeds' - i'm not sure what his real intentions are.......i know that sounds mean but yeah i dunno i kinda get that feeling that it's not all what he might make it out to be......... that aside, i still do really love him and respect him in a lot of ways. and he's still one of the sexiest men ever (rewind 10yrs). as for their music......well i'm not sure where that's headed after the past couple of albums. unforunately, i think they've had their time
    EVENFLOW MEMBER #009 and i'm LOVIN the new PJ!!!! avacado all the way!!

    i know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    i HOPE you'll be a star,

    I was about to say that Bon Jovi suck elephant dicks, but your post will suffice.
  • DOSWDOSW Posts: 2,014
    Right now they're total garbage, BUT they do have a few genuinely amazing songs written throughout their career... mostly the storytelling ones. The Right Side of Wrong (from the Bounce album) and Dry County (from Keep the Faith) are the ones that jump out at me. Also, These Days is a pretty good album, even if it is pretty much a cash-in.

    So yeah, they're garbage, but they do have some redeeming factors.

    i think ed called bon jovi "butt rockers" at the wiltern performance. i thought that was appropriate.

    I like Jon Bon Jovi. I don't know him personally, but he seems like a good guy, does some charity work, and seems to actually care about his fans. As do the rest of his band. Heard their live show is great too, if you're into their style and generally love getting drunk and singing along to every song.

    The music however, I really can't stand. Especially "Livin on a Prayer." That one ranks right up there with "Sweet Caroline" as most annoying bar song ever.

    A LOT of pearl jam fans are snobs...but the FACT is that bon jovi puts on a great live show. i see a number of shows here in los angeles(multiple pj shows too), and there have only been TWO shows where the crowd was SUPERB and really into the performance. one was bruce springsteen and the other was bon jovi. say what U want about mr. jovi, but he writes some great tunes and he can deliver.

    I will echo that statement. I don't care how good your show is or how into it the crowd is. People were into Poison shows and Whitesnake concerts at one point. Lots of people can move around on stage and have good stage presence. It all means nothing when your music sounds worse than a wet pussy fart.

    well, that's YOUR opinion and it doesn't mean much to me, or to others that bon jovi's music reaches. bon jovi is here to stay so i guess you'll have to deal with it. :) love him or hate him, he STILL puts on a great show.

    Anybody ever see the Triumph the Insult Comic Dog skit on Conan where he goes to the Bon Jovi concert? One of the funniest things I've ever seen:

    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    Can we please not mention Guns N' Roses in the same breath as Bon Jovi?

    They are so far apart on the musical spectrum it's not even funny.

    Anyone who thinks so is in fact, a fucking idiot.
