1.) It's my life - the song that made me to become a fan. It was the official song of a german TV station for the European Championships in Soccer. I hadn't heard anything of Bon Jovi before. I was 12 years old, heard a snippet of the song while watching a match and it blew me away.

2.) One wild night - one of the best songs the band has recorded. It's a shame that such a big rocker isn't played anymore.

3.) The concert in Hessisch Lichtenau 2006. My first concert in Gelsenkirchen 2003 wasn't good at all. My second show in Hessisch Lichtenau finally proved me that Bon Jovi is such a big live band.

4.) Stuttgart 2006. It was my third show. I stood in the second row and it was fantastic. The show was average althought they played "Never say goodbye" as a request but I was so close to the stage like never before. I found Richie's pick after the show on the floor but a women took it away.

5.) The Circle. My favourite post-2000-record. It has decent guitar work although the production could be better.

6.) Frankfurt 2008. Great show with a lot of surprises like Damned or These days.

7.) Gelsenkirchen 2008 with Richie on vocals during These days. A dream came true!

8.) The intro melody of the Greatest-Hits-Tour. It sounds a bit crazy but this intro really built up a strong tension till the the band came on a stage and it gave me the creeps like no other intro before and after.

9.) The day before the conert in Munich 2011. I stood in front of the band's hotel and was waiting for the band. It got boring and I talked to a guy with a friendly appearance who also waited there with his nieces. Was it destiny? We introduced ourselves and couldn't believe it: We had the same names, the same hobbys, the same subject of study, and more or less the same residence but we meet 500 kilometres away! It was the beginning of a close friendship. We call ourselves doublegangers or twins now Greetings to you, my brother!

10.) The show in Munich 2011. A long concert with a lot of surprises like Rock you like a hurricane as a cover.

11.) The concert in Mannheim 2011. I was in the front row. The band was on fire as the crowd, too!

12.) Richie's tour in 2012. The first time I saw Richie solo. It was a big wish because I became a fan in 2000 and since then Richie made no solo tours. The first two shows in Amsterdam were great. I visited them with my doubleganger, of course The tour also gave me the opportunity to meet and interview Richie. A dream came true!

13.) The club show in Stuttgart 2013. My doubleganger and me (who else?! ) were there. It's such a fantastic experience to see band so close when you had only seen them in big arenas before!

14.) Put the boy back in cowboy. Such a cool country-rock-track. I expected more songs of Lost highway in this style but we didn't get it unfortunately!

15.) I'm with you. The only song I still listen to from "What about now". The great groove and solo help to fade out the bad production.
