New Studio Album - Forever

I may be wrong, but it is possible this is the band's last album.

Maybe. But without Richie Sambora? If it is fans will be angry, Richie Sambora wasn't on it to end Bon Jovi.

Well, it all depends on the documentary, and see what they tell us. I think the point is... be realistic. I don't think Jon and Richei can sit down together and write and record some songs like they did before. So, if this is a band's last album, it will probably be without Richie Sambora, or there will only be one track in collaboration with him.

Then there will be the live farewell shows, that's where Richie could have a stellar appearance, especially in the last show. That's the story, and I don't think they can force an album and tour with Richie as lead guitarist and co-writer of a new album.

And I don't think the fans will be angry because Richie isn't in the last dance, I think opening the vaults is the perfect solution.

I don’t wanna think that this could be the last Bon Jovi “band” album…

The only thing that let me think about a possible end of the band is the documentary’s title “thank you, goodnight: The Bon Jovi story”.

That title i don't know how to interpret it.

Goo Goo Dolls should do Misunderstood, or the stuff they supposedly wrote with BJ on their joint tour that never materialized.

I doubt that's gonna happen, but am excited about whatever it's gonna be, though.

Even if it isn't, I'd say it'd be the second to last at best. You heard Jon's voice right? Even Shanks probably is at the limit in terms of being able to make it tolerable. By now there have roughly been 4 year gaps between album releases and to think they'll still be doing that in ten years time doesn't seem realistic.
I know you're a new fan who came late to the party (i.e. when the "good" band was already gone), but the sooner you come to terms with that they're walking pretty close to the finish line, the easier it'll be when the day comes

I could go either way at this point.

There are factors that lead to both. Nobody says "Album / Tour" every 3 years has to be norm.

Band Members are getting older but ae also still very capable, Jon's voice is going but it doesn't mean it's gone from recording albums and doing maybe 10 shows.

Jon might just continue as a solo act. I don't think he'll ever retire 100% from himself but maybe the band corporation might be at the end.

I think the next few months will definitely be telling.

Yes...

It's sad...,idk why in this moment i'm thinking about Jon that could one day not far away end up to make just short Runaway tours/cruises with none of the band, with drunked women and with Hampton Water as sponsor

I think the same thing.

Try to look at the bright side. When they "retire" the brand of the band, it'll be the perfect opportunity to get together with Richie and do like a 2 man Broadway show. "The Jon Bon Jovi/Richie Sambora Broadway special" would sell out, at the very least 10 shows!
