I've never actually seen anyone have a stroke before.

That face contortion is just unbearable. I really can't watch it.

I know hey, like a car crash.

Ok guys, so here's a who'd you rather (listen to) for 2022 .... Vince Neil, or Jon Bon Jovi.

TAC · « **Reply #13935 on:** June 07, 2022, 03:00:03 PM »

At least Vince Neil will make me laugh.

The YT comments are where the real humour is.

I can't believe people actually bought tickets to this Bon Jovi tour. That place was packed. Those tickest couldn't have been cheap.

I paid $10 for a "stadium filler" offer to see Bon Jovi 5 or 6 years ago and wanted my money back afterwards

, so it's not as if this had just happened all of sudden. He has got away with similar for a very long time , but it's finally reached the point where his teflon skin isn't enough to stop the criticism. I seriously think half any given crowd is tone deaf and hardly notice....and he could tour for another 10 years and his female fans wouldn't give a shit. .

The thing is, he's not even moving about the stage gracefully. He looks like he's in pain. He's not that old.

Yeah, I mean, this seems to be much worse than just his voice being shot...It's definitely true that he's been struggling vocally for a while now, but there seems to be something more serious going on.

Purely based on these videos, perhaps the band shouldn't be touring? I feel for him, but this seems to a point where it's not 100% fair to the paying fans...

His timing also is just atrocious. He's definitely had a stroke or something, surely.

Not sure who his guitarist is now but he's pretty solid at least.

$10.

You were right to want your money back.

I mean, I guess it wouldn't be as noticeable when you're there but it's incredible how packed it is and people still are enjoying it. You're right though, the female fans couldn't care less.

The guitarist is Phil X and he is better than solid.

Actually one of my few memories of that $10 concert is that the biggest crowd response was when Phil took over the mic and sang You Shook Me All Night Long

I meant solid.....not like.......what we call solid.

EDIT: Ah, I see the guy you're referring to Brent. I was referring to the other fella that played the solo on that vid Tim posted. Haven't seen this Phil guy play I don't think.

Have you all heard of the band 21 Guns? Formed by Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy, etc) in the early 90's. Their first album is really, really good. I've been listening to it this morning and it's been an enjoyable album thus far. Going to check out the others later today.

I forgot to respond to this but yeah..........at least a couple of us would've owned this since around the time of release.

I think These Eyes is one of the hugest sounding melodic rock ballads of all time and there's probably another few songs I really liked. But also more than a few fillers I wasn't rapt in. But it's got a hell of a production on it and it's a shame that Tom La Verdi didn't do more . One of those albums that was released into the teeth of the grunge headwind and it's a bit of a "cult classic" to some. Plenty of great melodic rock/metal albums released in 92 that were dropped like a hot potato by their record labels.

He does a tone perfect EVH impression that is worth seeing. He can sing too. Too good for Bon Jovi these days (see what I did there ?😁😁)

I am also just getting to this. I've never owned this, but I've sampled it a few times over the years. It was great to see Gorham in a project, but honestly, this is a nothing album. It is just so run of the mill.

Not a hard pimp by any means, but I've been digging this album:

I think the number one thing on my wishlist each week on New Music Fridays is to simply find a nice hard rock/metal album. This doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything but I've spun it 4 or 5 times in the last couple of weeks and have been enjoying it very much.
