I took a flight to Japan in July just to see Bon Jovi live. In June
I went to New York just to see Bon Jovi (David Letterman-Show and
Today-Show). Now I will go to the whole european Tour of Bon Jovi. It's
worth to do that all. If really someday Bon Jovi give a concert on the
planet Mars I would go there, too....LOL!

Hey Katsumi, I'm really glad for this site. It's the next best
thing to talking in real-time with like-minded people halfway round the
globe. Right now I'm waiting for the broadcast of the Bon Jovi interview
on KLOS...
I just want to send a message out to all Bon Jovi fans: I'm truly
overwhelmed by how everyone's united with the release of Crush. I'm not
trying to sound melodramatic but it's really touching to see different
people rejoicing together. This just about shows the power of Bon Jovi,
how they manage to captivate people of different backgrounds and ethnic
groups.
Ever since I came home from the Fukuoka show, with some treasured pics,
wonderful memories and new found friends from around Asia, I've had a
good number of people writing me and asking about the concert. It would
be fair to say some friends have even become Bon Jovi fan converts!!
:-)
Here's to Kumiko, Tsutomu, Hiroki, Wendy, Sheena, Hwee Kiang and
Ricardo and the many more I may have missed out: Thanks for sharing your love
for Bon Jovi with me and most of all, thanks for your friendship...
I shall now get back to the program, they just played a clip of It's My Life...

Thank Katsumi for this terrific website!!!^_^
Here's my Bon Jovi story. I posted the original messages on a yahoo
club. http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/theofficialbonjovifanclub

ONE WILD NIGHT IN FUKUOKA...PART 1...

No, Bon Jovi didn't sing "One Wild Night" at Fukuoka(Japan) concert. I just
use this song title to describe what I experienced on July 18. I guess,
I completely lost my sanity that night!;p Even now, my friends and I are
still in "star-struck" moods! And the sound and vision of their concert constantly
linger on our mind.:)

Thank Bon Jovi for giving us a fantastic show and an unforgettable
memory. It was like an unbelievable dream to be not only on stage with these guys
but also backstage for a meet-&-greet! And OMG, the moments Richie shook hands
with us during "I Got The Girl" and Jon sat on the bar counter right beside us
during "Lay Your Hands On Me" are the best things ever happened to our lives
this year so far, even though we were so shocked to look like "frozen" idiots!!!LOL...

This is my 7th time to see Bon Jovi's concert. Compared with previous times,
this time their show gives me more intimate and back-to-simplicity feelings.
I mean, there are no fireworks, no explosions, no giant-woman-inflated-doll,etc.,
but they put bar counters on both sides and let lucky fans witness their performance
without distance. And Tico's paintings are projected on the set.

You can sense that acting really has an impact on Jon. Jon is like a storyteller on stage
sometimes. He talks more and those stories add theatrical effects.:)
This change displays a deeper and maturer level.
Besides, the fun, power, charm, energy, and chemistry that their shows used to have
are still there. Moreover, they seem forever young like Peter Pan in Rock N' Roll!;D

Oh well...I type the songlist first...

Livin' On A Prayer
You Give Love A Bad Name
It's My Life
Say It Isn't So
Wild In The Streets
Just Older

Next 100 Years

Someday I'll Be Saturday Night(acoustic)
Runaway(acoustic, the most surprising song!!!)
I Got The Girl
Lay Your Hands On Me

....slightly different from Katsumi's post...
***************************************************************************************
ONE WILD NIGHT IN FUKUOKA...PART 2...

The concert started at 7:10pm. When the lights went out, the crowd roared with ecstasy!
Then the prelude of "Livin' On A Prayer" broke forth, 2 huge screens showed David, Tico,
Richie, Hugh and Jon one after another. Jon wore a silver-blue snake-skin jacket, black
leather pants and an olive tank top. And he drawed 4 white streaks on his cheeks like an
Indian. The rest of the band were dressed in black.

Though the sound system seemed to have some troubles, sometimes we couldn't hear Jon's
voice clearly at the 1st song and we audience sang along too loud,;p anyway we could tell
Jon did his best and his interpretation was quite spontaneous and improvised. And when he
jumped up and down, we jumped that way, too! :D

At the end of this song, Jon shouted, "...We got believers in rock n' roll out there.
Hallelujah, brothers! I got soul to say..." He raised hands waving like a ritual dance.
And we did the same way to worship them 'cause they are our "Rock Gods"!!!;)

Jon did a little hip-swiveling lightly at "You Give Love A Bad Name". Like the last song,
Jon let the audience sing the chorus part. It was amazing! Music did surmount language
barrier at that moment. Everyone was singing together.

Then Jon greeted Fukuoka audience, "...You gotta treat me good...we got a long way to go...
" Richie's talkbox sound began, "It's My Life" brought another climax, especially it's my
current favorite.:D Jon took off his jacket at "Say It Isn't So." And lucky fans got on
stage at bar area from this song. There were 3 seats by Richie's side and more by David's side,
some sitting, some standing. The rule is each group of fans can take turns at staying there
for 2 songs.

When Jon sang "Wild In The Streets", my friend Amanda was extremely happy 'cause that is
her most favorite song. And Jon pulled out a Japanese girl(short-hair, looking like a cute
little boy) from David's side to the center stage and invited her to dance. She was shy.
But the crowd went wild for this!^_^

During "Just Older", Jon and Richie walked to the left side of stage and played guitars
swinging together. That was hilarious!!! Before "Two Story Town", Jon told the story about
it and played something like music video on large screens while performing.

After "Next 100 Years", Jon jokingly judged the audience' reaction and decided those who
at the right side weren't hot enough. So, the whole band moved to the small stage at the
right side to heat them up. They performed 3 songs unplugged. Jon kind of imitated Elvis Presley,
shaking his legs and hip at "Love For Sale." And he was like Bruce Springsteen at "Runaway".
He said he wrote it 19 years ago. It's about a small town girl from New Jersey took the
greyhound bus to a big city, and so on. He even closed his eyes for a while, exhibiting
his acting power!:) And can you imagine they performed this song in acoustic way??? That's pretty
refreshing!!!

Later, my friends and I were taken to backstage and waited for the great chance coming.
Josephine, Amanda and I were so lucky to be arranged by Richie's side, while the most of
Taiwan group were by David's side.
I wore Richie's "Stranger In This Town" T-shirt. So, when Richie saw me, he gave me a
funny smile, then I put my palms together with a Buddhist greeting in return.
In the middle of "I Got The Girl", Richie came to us 3 and shook hands! My heart almost
stopped beating at that moment!!!
Everytime I meet Richie, I feel like I'm gonna faint for his smile!;p
***************************************************************************************
ONE WILD NIGHT IN FUKUOKA...PART 3...

While I was still dizzy with happiness for Richie's sake, Jon passed us 3 by and sang
"Lay Your Hands On Me" to the left side of stage. After about one minute, Jon walked back.
Beyond our expectation, he stopped in front of Josephine. We were totally stunned and had
no idea what Jon was gonna do next!!!@_@ Eventually, we realized he wanted to clap our palms
like "give-me-five." After clapping his hand, we 3 thought he was gonna back to the center,
but he didn't.

Instead, Jon jumped up and sat on bar counter right beside me, even his sweat splashed on me!
OMG! My head went blank right away! @_@ Jon raised his thumb and I replied him with a thumb-up,
too. Then he started circling his forearms to the left and to the right. It took me a while
to follow his motion in rhythm. I must have acted like a stiff puppet! LOL...

Off the stage, we hugged together and screamed like 3 maniacs!;D Being Bon Jovi's fans for
such a long time(Josephine for 16 years, Amanda for 12 years, me for 14 years), we couldn't
believe such a wonderful thing happening on us!!! Amanda even cried 'cause Jon is like her
"God", her "everything"!;) But, when we rushed back to our seats, another friend Mei went crazy
because of jealousy. Mei has a serious crush on Jon.
Unfortunately, she was by David's side and Jon just passed her by, even she called out his name.
We truly feel pity for her, after all, if not for her, we couldn't get the tickets. And we are
forever grateful for her help!

Confetti showered the crowd during "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead." Another friend Jasmine, sitting
with Singapore fans by Richie's side, was also lucky enough to touch Jon's hand twice at "Bad
Medicine." And this time Jon also sang to fans by David's side. That was a devastating blow to
Mei once again. After "Shout", Bon Jovi said good night and left stage.

We shouted for encore. They came back and sang 2 more songs. Jon was like a storyteller again
at the beginning of "Damned", "...Your secret is safe with me..." Then they went off stage again
and we called them back again.

They performed 3 more songs. "Mystery Train" is one of my new favorites. Before singing "Wanted
Dead Or Alive", Jon dedicated this song, "for all the cowboys out there!" As usual, Richie put
on his cowboy hat and played his double-neck guitar. Their duet led us back to those good old
days!^_^

They sang 2 more songs for the 3rd encore. "Lean On Me" was in a cappella. Richie sang solo
at the 2nd verse. Finally, they gave us a very rock-n-roll ending with "Keep The Faith." All the
band members walked toward the front and said good-bye to the audience. Out of the blue, Tico
lifted Jon up with only one arm! That was really funny!;D
***************************************************************************************
ONE WILD NIGHT IN FUKUOKA...PART 4...

We went backstage directly after the concert. While we were waiting for the meet-&-greet, Josephine,
Amanda, Jasmine and I became the targets of envy and ridicule. And Mei was so upset and nagging
all the way! I've known Mei for 9 years and never seen her losing self-control like this!
So, it's all because of Bon Jovi's irresistible magnetism!;p I can understand her frustration.
Mei works so hard to meet her idol. Then we took away the lucky chance.

On second thoughts, I'd rather let Mei replace me at "Lay Your Hands On Me" 'cause she probably
dare to dance with Jon and receive his precious kiss! She would make much better "stage effects"
than me!;) And we tried to comfort Mei that she was the only one who taught Jon to speak Chinese
in that afternoon. That was a privilege for her only!

Later, Bon Jovi came into the room. I couldn't believe my eyes!@_@After an exhausting show,
they still looked energetic, just with a more laid-back atmosphere.:D Particularly, Jon's eyes
were shinning like starlight! Richie looked younger and more handsome with a light-olive T-shirt
and khaki baggy pants! Richie was so cute and sweet!;)

Taiwan record company presented platinum records to Bon Jovi. Tico pointed at the pix on the record,
saying, "Who is this handsome guy?" We shouted out, "Tico! Tico! Tico!" Richie opened his eyes
wide and said in a funny tone, "So many Tico's fans out there, oh my God!" Then we took group
pictures with them. After the photo-shots, I saw Jeanette and Chiling shaking hands with Jon.
That nerved Jasmine and me to shake hands with 5 of them! They might think we were lunatic...
hahaha...And for David's fans, we had a pleasant conversation with him. And we think he's the most
interesting guy in the band!:)

Anyway, the next day most of us left happily by the morning flight back to Taiwan. 2 other lucky
contest winners leaving by the evening flight ran into Jon at the shopping mall beside Grand Hyatt
Fukuoka hotel. But they were too shy to ask him for an autograph.

For concert merchandise collectors, this tour merchandise is pretty good. There are T-shirts, sexy
girly tanktops, tourbooks, pins, caps, bandannas, mobile phone straps, etc.

If you look at Santana's "Supernatural" CD booklet, there's a quotation: "Many of my favorite shamans
are rock stars. They probably don't even know they're shamans but they know how to get to ecstasy and
back, and how to take others with them. They may not have a license, but they know how to drive.
"from "Maps To Ecstasy" by Gabrielle Roth. I'd like to adopt this quotation as a perfect conclusion
of my encounter with Bon Jovi this time! ;)

This is the end of my whole Fukuoka story!^_^

whats up guys?
I went see their live on 7/13.
I was at the bar counter on the stage while the boys were playing I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
& Bad Medicine (when Jon kissed a girl!). I was a winner of the radio program called
"POWER ROCK TODAY". I was on Hugh side and could see David's playing and Hugh's playing very close!
Jon came to our side a few times. Richie couldn't come to our side 'cause I was on opposite
side, and his guitar was NOT wireless. Because I'm a guitarist in my band, I wanted to see Richie's
playing very close. BUT but but, man, I wan on cloud 9!!!!
That was the bomb experience!

Hi folks! There's something I really need to find out about Bon
Jovi's video. Which Bon Jovi's video was shoot in Malaysia? Was it "This
Ain't A Love Song"? Please tell me about that.
By the way, I am happy, yet sad today! The happy thing was I called up
my local radio station today - HITZ FM - to vote for Bon Jovi "It's My
Life". Well, it was just a simple and small thing to everyone. But it
meant something to me seriously! At least I have done a little thing for
Bon Jovi in my life! And this is only the first step!
The sad was HITZ FM is presenting a contest for going to see Bon Jovi
Live in Wembley!!!! I have tried to stay awake and called up the radio
station, but I wasn't lucky enough to have someone pick up my call! I am
really sad about that!!!! However, I still have 4 days to go to
participate in this contest thingie.
Wish me good luck!

My comment is that I think Bon Jovi is the best band in the
world! Richie is my favorite!!! Besides his incredible talent for writing
the greatest songs, I think he has a great personality and is so funny
backstage. Everytime I see him in the home videos like "Access All
Areas," I love him even more. . . . he is a great guy. Guess what? Can
you believe this???????? You must all know that he has a beauty mark or
birthmark on his neck - I have one in the same area!!!! What do you
think of that? Do you think I'm crazy??

Hey there,
I've been to the first 3 shows of the Japanese Crush-tour and I was
just blown away, too great to be true - once again! :) "Runaway" acoustic
just makes your knees shivering, it's so unbelievably beautiful.
In Nagoya I was lucky enough to get on stage with my 2 friends for Two
Story town and It's my life, and I must say that feeling - dancing in
front of 30,000 people - was undescribable! How must our BJ-guys feel to
do that almost every night, and every single person is comming to the
show just to see and hear THEM!!! Wow.
See you on the road,

I saw Bon Jovi in Fukuoka Dome. What a great show. My husband and
are stationed here overseas. I have been wanting to see them for 12
years now. It was well worth the wait.
It's not easy being here overseas, when our families are half a world
away. We love our tour in Japan and have made many friends over here.
But it's not home.
Jon, Richie, Dave, Tico, and Hugh, thank you so much for bringing a
little bit of home to me. I know there were thousands of fans you were
playing for that night, but you helped subside my homesickness. I still
miss my family and friends, for 2.5 hours I could escaped that feeling.
While you guys were singing in Japan, I was on top of Mt.Fuji freezing
my rear off.
I hope everyone enjoyed the concerts as much as I did. Take care. They
truly know how to rock, and from what I have seen haven't missed a beat.

Hi Ganags!
I got a news from bonjovi.com. Check below.
**************************************************************************
BON JOVI kicked off their CRUSH 2000 TOUR in JAPAN, playing five sold-out
shows (2 nights at Tokyo Dome and one show each at Nagoya Dome, Fukuoka
Dome and Osaka Dome) to rave reviews. The setlists were ever-changing,
mixing classic Bon Jovi songs with newer tracks off the album CRUSH (and a
few cover tunes thrown in for good measure and good fun.)

The band are on their way back to the good ol' USA via LOS ANGELES where
they'll be doing some radio and tv appearances. On MONDAY morning, JULY
24th, BON JOVI will be performing LIVE on KLOS-FM's "MARK & BRIAN SHOW"
from THE KEY CLUB. LA residents tune into KLOS from 9-10AM to hear the
show. From there, it's over to THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO. Not only
will BON JOVI be the musical guests (performing "IT'S MY LIFE") but JON
BON JOVI will be the FIRST GUEST on the show talking with JAY LENO. THE
TONIGHT SHOW with JAY LENO tapes at NBC STUDIOS in BURBANK, CA in the late
afternoon and the show aires the same night on NBC affiliates throughout
the U.S. (check your local listings for times.)

On TUESDAY, JULY 25th, LA residents should tune into STAR-FM in the
afternoon (specific time will be posted on the www.bonjovi.com news
section) to hear BON JOVI's live performance at that station.

The boys won't be here in the US for too long though... they head right
back out on the road for the CRUSH 2000 TOUR through EUROPE, kicking off
on AUGUST 5, winding its way through Finland, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland,
Ireland, England, Holland and Austria before heading back to the U.S. for
tourdates in the autumn months.

BON JOVI CRUSH THE WORLD... see you out on the road!

I won a ticket to watch Bon Jovi in Fukuoka, Japan and let me say
it'll be something I'll never forget...
I went up on stage and sat on the left, closest to Richie, who made
strange faces at us, which was quite funny. Tico looked at us once, and
for a long time, at that!! Jon did come over on one occasion... :-) shook
our hands and sang to each of us... I thought I could faint... :-)
The next morning, I met Jon and Hugh in the hotel lobby (they stayed in
the same hotel as I did). Didn't get to speak to them but snatched two
shots with them... :-)
Thanks guys, for that memorable show and thanks Fukuoka for your
hospitality... :-)

I love Bon Jovi for 8 years long. I'll support you always. I have
all of your albums also Jon's personal's. And I love every songs from
Jon's vocal,Richie's guiter, Tico's drum and David's keyboard. You know,
you're the greatest band of the music world. You're my best favorite
musician. No others can instead of your position inside my heart. Your
new album--Crush is so great as before. Especially my favorite songs are
"Thank you for loving me","It's my life","Say it isn't so (Jon's nice
different style)", Besides, I do love the song "Save the world". Hey, my
dearest Bon Jovi, could you come to Taiwan to have a big concert as
soon as possible? I saw your concert in Taiwan before. I missed your great
show so much. I do hope you can come back to Taiwan again. You know
there're so many fans for Bon Jovi in Taiwan. And we do expect to your
rock world much more. I love you, Bon Jovi!!!
and Jon is the most handsome man in my mind.^_^

I just knew abot this site and want to tell you,IT'S GREAT !
I'm very very big fan of Bon jovi
I've seen them here in 1995 "cross road to the east tour" and it was
rocking!
I noticed here someone won a free ticket in fukuoka.She's so lucky!
In my area there are some event too,to win BJ ticket in Osaka gig but I
thingk I'm not lucky enough like someone else
Too bad BJ didn't came to all over Asia
I hope next year, they will !

Hi, everybody!
I went to Osaka Dome yesterday.
It's second time I've gone to the Bon Jovi concert!
It was great!! Thank you BJ for coming here !
I expect you guys will come back here!!
While they were playing "One Wild Night", Jon danced with one girl
(She was a one of stage audiences, I guess) and kissed her (not to
mouth, of course).
She was such a lucky girl!!
I was just disappointed one thing.
It's one of my pleasures to get the concert goods.
I especially wanted the official cellular strap which printed their
Logo on.
But It sold out!!!!!
Can you believe that???
How can I get it?
If somebody know, tell me please!!

I am a Japanese woman and have moved to the US last year. I have
been longing to join BonJovi concert, but... Now they went to Japan
and I am here in the US... I may go back to Japan this fall, so, then,
they would be here and I'd be here... What a shame!!!

I went to the Live in Nagoya, Japan yesterday night. I was very excited.
This is the first time for the live of Bon Jovi. I am the fun from 1980's.
The opening number is "Liv'n on a prayer". This is so nice and exciting.
My best impression of this live is "Runaway of accoustic version" and "Wanted
dead or alive" which are favoite songs of mine. Thank you for Bon Jovi.

Hi Gangs!!
I got a picture of BON JOVI from the Universal Music and Tower Records Today.
It was taken at Shinjyuku-Tokyo last month after the secret event(My report is at
News May 2000.
And they had give away event called "Meet and Greet" for the album "CRUSH".
and I bought it and applied but that event had canceled that's why I got this
cool picture. hmmm...not bad
I'll put it here ASAP :)

Bon Jovi Crush Tour 2000 Round 3 In Japan was held at
Nagoya Dome this night July 15, 2000.
By the way, i don't feel like telling about where i was
this time coz it wasn't as good as where i was at Tokyo
Dome for two days in a row!! Maybe you can imagine how
terrible it was, not to forget to mention that no liquor
[ which can definitely makes me feel better :) ] was allowed
inside the Dome. But at least i got a nice view of the whole
stage and it's light effects. And i saw those lucky chosen
guys waiting for their turns to come up the stage and have
a dance with Jon. But at least i enjoyed some great close-up
shots of all the band members thru the wide screen.
Not to forget to mention too whether the crowd around me
were "dead or alive"!! But i didn't care!! Coz the show was AWESOME!!
The show started at 6:15pm with "Living on a Prayer" then
"You Give Love A Bad Name", "Just Older", "Two Story Town",
"It's My Life", "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night", "I Got The Girl",
and "Next 100 years".
Jon had a short talk after then they all moved to the right side
of the stage and performed accoustic version of the songs
"Love For Sale", "That's Alright" and "Runaway" where Jon missed
on the intro so they've got to start all over again. It was funny :)
They went back to the center stage and played "One Wild Night",
"Lay Your Hands", "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" where the guy beside
me miraculously danced!! The band followed that song with " Rock
'N Roll Over The World", "Bad Medicine" and "Shout". They said
bye but answered the encore with the song "Captain Crash",
"Mystery Train" and "Wanted Dead or Alive". They said bye again
but gave us a bonus performance with the song "Keep The Faith".
Great show really!! It was worth driving all the way from Tokyo
to Nagoya. I spent 6 hours to drive back and forth, just in case
you guys wanna know.
But really, IT WAS WORTH IT!!

Bon Jovi CRUSH 2000 TOUR Round 2, July 13, 2000, at Tokyo Dome,
started at 7:10pm. I had a seat in the 15th row this time, Richie's side to be exact.
Like yesterday, the Dome was full and i can say that the live is a total hit!!
They started with the song "Rockin' In The Free World", followed with "Just Older".
Jon had a short talk then sang "Livin' On A Prayer", "You Give Love A Bad Name",
"Two Story Town", It's My Life", "Next 100 Years".
And then the band moved right stage as Round1. They started Accoustic songs with
"Love For Sale", followed with "That's Alright". After this...
Oh my Goodness I got shocked!! They played Accoustic version "RUNAWAY"(This is the
VERY FIRST TIME TO PLAY Jon Said!) and "Someday I'll be Saturday Night".
Moved back to the center and played "One Wild Night", "Lay Your Hands On Me", "I'll
Sleep When I'm Dead incleded Rockin' All Over The World" and in the middle of this song
Luck girl who was at the bar counter Jon took her to the center of the stage and gave her
a KISS. After this they played "Bad Medicine" said good-bye and went back stage.
They came back soon and played "Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars", "Mystery Train",
and "Wanted Dead Or Alive" and left the stage again.
But they answered our begging to rock MORE! Played with "Lean on me" a cappella with
a DAVID'S GREAT Piano :)
and the last song for Tokyo Perform was "Keep The Faith"
I almost forgot to mention that like yesterday, they set up mini bar counters on
both sides of the stage with seats for maybe 5 people each.
Like sets of 10 people were chosen to come up the stage, right on those bar counters
and enjoy few songs while Jon dances here and there especially with "One Wild Night" he danced
on the counter!
By the way, those lucky fellows were chosen by Inter fm and some other Radio program,
being one of the concert's sponsors thru some kinda radio quiz.
To sum up all these, the band is undoubtedly a living legend!! And after seeing them
perform live again after so many years, i'm telling you guys, BON JOVI won't let us down!!
We really had a good time with YOU. Thanks for the GREAT SHOW :)
Hope we can see your show next year again!
See-ya!!

The long awaited moment, i guess, the whole world has been waiting for,
the opening of Bon Jovi Crush 2000 Tour, had just started right here
at Tokyo Dome, this night, July 12, 2000.
No one might be interested on which part of the Dome i had my seat but
just in case, i wanna share. I had seat A 11 number 49 but to make it
clearer, i was in the center 4th row from the stage.
The live started at exactly 7:15pm (15 mins late but worth waiting!!)
with the song "Livin' On A Prayer", followed with "You Give Love A Bad
Name". Jon had a short talk then the band rocked the Dome with "It's My
Life", "Say It Isn't So", "Just Older", "Living In Sin", "Blood On Blood",
and "Next 100 Years".
To give consideration to the audience sittin' on the right side fronting
the stage, the band moved just right in front of them and performed
accoustic version of songs such as "Love for Sale". Since it's Richie's
birthday, we all sang a birthday song for him, then followed with "Someday
I'll Be Saturday Night" and "Bed Of Roses" both in accoustic.
They moved back to center stage and played "Lay Your Hands On Me", "Keep
The Faith", "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", "Bad Medicine" and said goodbye
after the song "Shout", but due to our demands, ooppss...i mean requests,
they came back and played "Mystery Train" and "Wanted Dead Or Alive" and
left the stage. But since we all begged in one voice again, they came back
for the song "One Wild Night". David, Tico and Hugh left the stage and
Jon and Richie played "Never Say Goodbye" and left. We all begged for more
after that.....but.....it didn't work :)so i'm all set for the next live!!

CALLING ALL BON JOVI FANS!!!
We have been cheated by Channel 4 in the UK. For those of you outside the country, listen and ACT!!
For a week, channel 4 advertised Bon Jovi's particpation in the Party in the Park and promoted their performance.
THEN they DON'T SHOW ANY OF IT!!! You could hear them in the background at one point and they showed a 2 minute interview,
but no live footage (not even in the follow up highlights program the night after the event).
If they weren't going to show them, why bother advertising. I sent the following note to T4@channel4.com this morning
and I urge you all to complain...Stand up, don't be another face in the crowd!!!
Katsumi, I apologise for this being long, but we need to be heard as BON JOVI fans....
This is what I sent to T4 this afternoon........
I was desperately hung over on Sunday Morning, but I got up anyway.
My mouth was dry ....but I got up anyway.
A marching band were playing in my head.....BUT I GOT UP ANYWAY....
I do this every Sunday to watch your show...now I have to ask myself, why I bother.
Just like you guys must have to ask yourself 'Why did we bother advertising Bon Jovi on the Party in the park bill,
when we're not going to show any of their performance?'
Of course, the answer is simple. Get Bon Jovi fans to tune in, get a bigger audience and only show the bands/artists
that are seen as hip or cool, ie: Not Bon Jovi.
Your program may be geared towards younger people, (I'm only 23 by the way)But it has a cult-like status, much like
SM:TV and people over the age of ten DO watch.
The biggest joke is, that we're talking about a band that have sold 80 million albums and whose new album is on target
to reach ten million IN EUROPE ALONE. Your non-existant coverage of their performance has been well documented on
many Bon Jovi fan sites and there are a lot of disapointed people out there. But, I guess, as Long as you show Mel C
(Who's having to close half of Wembley Arena because she can't sell 10,000 tickets) then who needs to see some wrinkly
rockers (Who will play to 144,000 people at Wembley stadium alone this summer)? You do the math.
I'll nurse my hangovers in bed on a sunday from now on.

Hi, guys. I'm so excited that I even feel pain in my chest.
Well, I've got another CD "It's My Life" the other day which includes two new songs "Temptation" and "I Don't Want to Live Forever".
I like them both, but "Tempation" is a very unique song which has a very bizzar feeling...
I like it anyway. It gives me some strange emotion...
Well... I'm ready to rock!!!
