Wouldn't be surprised if there's a backroom deal with the west here. The media and the public love the crazy dictators, makes them forget about domestic REAL affairs.

I hope your right, but I don't know.  It just feels like it might actually happen this time.  When governments are moving military assets like this, it's a sign that shit is getting really.  I hope it's just me becoming an allarmist in my old age, but I have a bad feeling about all this.

I still plan to have an exact replica of Michael Jackson's Beat It jacket one day when I have the funds. I'm gonna wear it in public as often as possible 16

The only way that could be more awesome is if you danced aS you walked around, as MJ did in the video. smile

Indeed. I can't imagine the Chinese are very happy with the increase in the US military presence. Which makes me wonder how much influence they really have over the boy king.

Nah, you're reading the second night on Sunday, where Billy Joel is headlining.
Aerosmith were only added earlier today, and they'll be playing on Saturday night before Van Halen.

It seems as though my stars have all lined up, because not only did I want to see BOTH Van Halen, and Aerosmith, and now they're playing together at the one festival.
But I've recently been reacquainted with a girl I knew from my high school days, who a) will most likely will be going to this festival with me, and b) recently told me that she used to have a crush on me in school.

So it looks like I'll be lucky in love while rocking out to some great bands! 20 9

So you get an awesome show, and you're going to rock out with your cock out after the show. Fuckin' rich get richer, swear to God. big_smile

Sounds awesome dude.

Idk, but the US has been building up military assets in the area for months, so we're ready to fuck their shit up it seems.

#596 Re: The Sunset Strip » Bon Jovi Discussion » 638 weeks ago

You know, I've been suspecting something was up for a while. 

Back when Low Down came out, Richie was just getting started on a promotional tour, and it got cut short because Jon wanted to tour with the band and put out the new CD.  I also read that when Jon was doing his solo tracks on the Stand Up Guys Soundtrack, he wanted to do more songs but they decided to go with a other artists. 

So I suspected that setting the dates for "Because We Can" so soon was prompted by jealousy on Jon's part because his solo thing didn't go the way he would have liked plus Richie's album was getting some critical acclaim.

Is This The End For Richie Sambora And Bon Jovi?
He’s Jon Bon Jovi’s trusted lieutenant, a guitarist who can claim almost as much credit for one of the commercially successful heavy rock bands of all time as its bouffant haired front man. Richie Sambora has a pretty justified reputation as being one of rock’s good guys, with not just his solid playing for Bon Jovi, but also the countless good deeds he’s done for charities around the globe, including Dream Street, The Steve Young Forever Young Foundation and Michael J Fox’s Parkinson’s disease foundation; his commitment to those he supports has been with awards and rightly so. He’s a force for good.

Yet sadly Sambora also has another side, one weak to the dangerous advances of alcohol and drugs. Sambora is thankfully aware enough fellow to check these problems in when they become too much, having checked into rehab twice in both 2007 and 2011. Unfortunately though the guitarist seems to suffer from a problem that won’t go away.

"Due to personal issues, Richie Sambora will not be performing on this upcoming leg. All shows will go on as scheduled," said a statement on the band's website on Wednesday, tersely. There were no details on why he’d left Bon Jovi’s current tour, though some sources have suggested a tension between him and his front man. Hopefully it isn’t down to a relapse, you really hope that it isn’t. It’s believed that Jon Bon Jovi has constantly belittled Sambora, whose so far dutifully kept up with him, but perhaps things have gotten to a head. Yahoo has reported there could be money issues between the pair as well, although both have been coy on the exact reasoning.

What’s clear is that the split by Sambora from the group is troubling in terms of the band, because even his past issues have never caused him to take a break without anything other than support from the rest of the band. The frosty nature of Bon Jovi’s reaction to the announcement (shouting “I had two choices: pack up and go home or give you everything I got ... Richie Sambora won't be performing for a while. If there's ever a night I need you, it's tonight, Calgary!" to his audience there,) posits that maybe this time that one of them’s gone too far. Whether the reason comes to light, though, or not, there are two worrying upshots. One that Sambora may be done with Bon Jovie – and they are surely a worse band without him than with – and two, if he does leave the band who’ve been such a vital part of his life for almost three decades, he could return to the sadder side and that this time he might not be able to keep a check on it.

Worried about richie, it isnt bon jovi without him

I never knew that. As huge a fan as I was (and am again), I never really understood the band dynamic til I watched When We Were Beautiful. Totally agreed on Richie, though. I wouldn't want any of them to leave tbh. I still can't believe Alec could ever have fucked up enough to get kicked of that train.

Is there a good biography on the band that you'd recommend? I suppose even just Jon would be good too.

There are a few on Amazon if you search "Bon Jovi".  I've only read one and I would NOT recommended it, it's Bon Jovi In Their Own Words.  The description sounded good, it's their history in their own words, but the author arranged all the quotes to show how the band has contradicted itself over the years.  It read like the author was going out of their way to make the band look bad.

Aerosmith?  The poster says Billy Joel.

Reguardless, I'm f'in jelious.  All the best concerts seem to be down under.
