I ve seen many shows of bobby from youtube and I ve seen almost every interview available when he refered the band so don't call me ignorant u shit ok?

Then why don't you answer my questions instead of going mad and saying you've been insulted? I posted several interviews to support my comments, why don't you??? You stated that Bobby says bad things about BJ most of the time, why don't you post those interviews?
I'm not defending Bobby (he doesn't need to be!!!), I'm defending the
Truth, honesty, integrity.
This board is full of people telling others to stop saying negative things about an album they haven't heard yet (THINFS) and it's accepted by all, so why is it wrong when I tell you the same regarding Bobby?
Let me reformulate my questions then: have you listened to Bobby's songs (3 self-produced CDs + 1 single on vinyle + a couple more songs he wrote for others)? If not -and I'm still waiting for you to prove me wrong- how can you basically say they're shit? You're entitled to your POV (as I'm entitled to mine) but if it's based on thin air, it's just mean gossip.

if you think boby is the best thing that could happen to bj and that he appreciated fine, your problem...what makes me more mad is that my second post I explained I may be wrong and I judge by what I ve seen through the years yet you choose to pick a fight and insult me...
if u want to keep it up post a bandiera song that is really good since you follow hs discography so close

There's already a thread dedicated to Bobby, I didn't create it but I've posted several comments over there, including one that says that IMO Bobby doesn't/didn't fit BJ. So, once again, please check your facts before accusing me of stating that Bobby was "the best thing that could happen to bj" because I've always said the contrary!
As I said many times before, I'm not here to defend Bobby or Richie or... (and I couldn't care less about what people think about them BTW) but I'd appreciate
honesty from other posters instead of bias, that would make this board what a forum truly is: a place where people with different tastes and opinions can have mature debates and discussions and eventually agree to disagree.

You can argue about his sloppiness, that's one thing but come on! Only real rockstar in the band. Ever.

I concur.

I have a really deep bond with Blaze, KTF and These Days because they were my growing up albums, more so than Slippery and New Jersey. There's fans who have Crush as their life inspiration, and some maybe Lost Highway.
I can't stand She's A Mystery but have seen people rate it as one of their favourites.
You just never know what songs are going to tick someone's boxes and sometimes it doesn't matter if the vocals are shit, the wall of sound is atrocious and there's no guitar solo...there's just something in that song that says "yeah, that's mine" and you can't argue with that, because it reaches some basic instinct beyond any sense.
Which sums up Bon Jovi for me. There are better songwriters, these days better singers, but that just doesn't matter. Jovi are one of the few bands that I can relate to in that way.

You get my vote as well!

Don't rate his work that high as a producer but I like his playing.

Me too (to my surprise!) except that IMO his sound ("bagpipe guitars") is too close to Big Country's (and his skills are miles away from Stuart Adamson's). But I've only listened to a couple of live songs, I want to discover the studio album first.
