BON JOVI OFFER ROLLING STONES OPENING SLOT
BON JOVI have cheekily offered THE ROLLING STONES a support slot at their concert opening London's brand new Wembley Stadium, after beating the rock veterans to land the gig.
The selection of US band Bon Jovi over the British Stones to be the first group to play the UK's most prestigious stadium on 11 June next year (06) surprised music industry insiders.
But singer JON BON JOVI doesn't mind allowing the SIR MICK JAGGER-fronted veterans support his band at the concert.
He says, "Well, it's booked, but if they really want to open the venue, they can go on before us.
"I think that's a great idea."
Bon Jovi were also the final act to play the historic venue prior to its demolition.

If they get to play a full set I don't really see the problem. Gazza wont have to endure Bon Jovi and he can get to bed early without any of the residual nightmares witnessing such a horrific event might inspire. |

Apologies accepted. It doesn't change the horrible situation but at least we feel understood |

Seeing how much more popular he is in the rest of the world perhaps THEY should be apologizing to US for supporting him all these years. |

I love that no one here complains about how theres always seems to be a new Bon Jovi thread here every other day.
I guess it explains why so many people here are fond of "Look What The Cat Dragged In" |

Because on BonJ we can all agree, that's such a great feeling, nobody will dare to dispute the mass-bashing-orgy publicly
LWTCDI is a brilliant song BTW. Really.

Agree 100%.....Bon Jovi is the worst American band since Aerosmith..they suck, yet, are tremendously popular in the NorthEast and Europe!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Uhhh....two. Two Bon Jovi threads in what?.... the last 3 months and I'm not aware of any before that. I posted both of these and both had Stones content....not that it really matters. If you can find any more in the archives good luck. I might have missed one. |

The fucking nerve of the prick. We'll see how the tosser is doing in 20 years. The only way he'll get people to show up and see him is if he's the opening act for the girl getting screwed by the donkey in Mexico, and his show will have nothing to do with music, but with giving Richie Sambora a reach around. The more disturbing thing is who would show up for that, but no more disturbing that any shit bag Bon Jovi record. |

Yes, I am from Europe, but really wouldn't put Bon Jovi and Aerosmith on the same line. The first four Aerosmith albums (Aerosmith, Get your Wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks) were actually quite good. I can't say the same about the first four Bon Jovi albums.....
If Aerosmith would've quit after Pump, they would've left pretty good legacy. It's all downhill from there. |

One has to assume the Stones didnt want this gig as I cant believe Bon Jovi out manueuvered them. After Bon Jovi soccer will actually look enetertaining though.... |

I was just thinking that Mick & Co should take Bon Jovi up on his little offer.
yeah, good luck following the Stones onstage at Wembley!
I'd love to see the Stones absolutely rock the place with a closing set of Sympathy > Brown Sugar > Satisfaction > encore > YCAGWYW > JJ Flash and then have Mick toss Bon Jovi the mic and say "good luck topping that, doucehbag!" |

The word "cloying" always rises to the surface when talking about Bon Jovi. Their last 2 big singles have been horrible. |

Their initial stuff wasn't great by any means but it was classic arena rock fodder. This "Have A Nice Day" & "It's My Life" crap doesn't even rise to that level. |

"classic" ??
YOU shall not be greeted!!!
Personally, I find the story quite funny. Even funnier was the way so many posters over on IORR couldnt see that it was tongue-in-cheek and acted like they were personally insulted

No..its because
a) the story was relevant to the Stones (as are most of the Bon Jovi threads on here of late as theyve generally related to them outmanoevring the Stones to play Wembley first)
and
b) wasnt along the lines of "Bon Jovi are fantastic. The Stones are shit"
Nor was it a thread that had nothing to do with Bon Jovi in the first place but was later hijacked by posts extolling how marvellous they are. |

Well, the word "fodder" sort of negated "Classic" as a postive term. |
