I agree, people should lay off her. It's her opinion, it's her thread, no need to disrespect her if you don't agree.

Her reply to me clarified things up a little bit more because it actually mentioned her thoughts on the music and not about Jon's bloody restaurant. Have a day off. |
Sorry to hear about the experiences you had and can't blame you for coming to such a conclusion. All that matters is that you're at peace with yourself.

I am not done but my interest is low. I did buy BB but have yet to play it or even unwrap it even though I've heard good things about it. I don't think that Jon pretends integrity--I think Jon IS living a real life but fans don't want to admit that it is made up of mansions and moguls which is not the stuff great songs are made of.
To me Jon and Bon Jovi are ice cold with the media. The Circle tour was the last tour that had some media interest with television and print clips and interviews (clips that weren't just ads for a concert) but he has been absent from significant magazines for a long time. The last tour had media interest mostly due to the absence of Richie. With Jon being uncommunicative with his fan base via social media (with the exception of birthday announcements or to sell swag) I don't feel any bond with the band as a fan. I am curious how the Bon Jovi machine will promote the upcoming music and tour. Jon obviously has no interest in returning to a rock star image--gone are the days of shaggy golden locks, shirts open to the navel and running all over the stage. Actually, I would be fine with that except he can no longer sing the majority of his songs which makes for an over produced show. This has always been an arena band but is there enough interest to fill an arena these days? Having said all this, most of us still hold out hope that with the new people brought in and with a new record company, maybe the next release will be all that Jon says it will be. |

"it's got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever read on this forum." "It's quite pathetic that some people are like this" Come on man, that's just over the top attacking someone over something you don't like. Thinking the post is stupid is a completely valid opinion, I'm not saying you and the rest are in the wrong for thinking it. I don't even agree with her points, but have a little bit of tact before using words like pathetic and stupid. I personally think it was over the line. That's my opinion. I'm looking out for people so they don't get chased away for having a thought that doesn't match others. If I'm looking at it wrong or giving too much thought to how she was talked to then it is what it is. |

Jon doesn't know how social media works. Many people do not know it. Social media is not a one channel thing were your normal marketing strategies work, social media is a competence. It is about interaction and about bringing some real value to people. |
I'm not sure I understand this Facebook angle...
