I'm strapped for time to post & then keep up with post's. We got cd.com back online & other things keeping my time right now. So for sanity sake I have to limit myself  - I'm around. -BP

also they are re-releasing Slippery When Wet as a dual Disc and the backside will be in 5.1 surround and it will include videos of Prayer,Bad Name,Wanted,Never Say Goodbye and Wild In the Streets.

That sounds cool! When does it come out? They should do it for all their albums.

[D]

They are releasing it the same day as the new record

i am excited as fuck, Ill buy em both! then the tour and since Im in the fan club I will get front row seats

any bon jovi fan should look into that

its only 10 bucks a year for the Record label fan site which u get the password and presale before tix go up to the public

on Jon Bon Jovi's site which is 35 bucks a year u get seating right on the fucking stage and u get chances to go on fan club trips and meet Jon and stuff.

Im gonna join his site before the tour so I can sit my ass at the side of the stage!

[Tied-Up]

September they are having a launch concert where u can buy tickets to your local Regal Cinemas and watch it

on Oprah Winfrey's website they are having a contest where u email in someone who is a huge bon jovi fan and why they are the biggest Jon Bon Jovi fan and that person gets to go on Oprah and meet him

also they are re-releasing Slippery When Wet as a dual Disc and the backside will be in 5.1 surround and it will include videos of Prayer,Bad Name,Wanted,Never Say Goodbye and Wild In the Streets.

OK... D, how's this:

Dear Oprah:

Please bring my friend D on your show to meet Jon bon Jovi.  He is Jon's biggest fan.  He even has a poster of Jon on his ceiling and... well, what he does while looking at that poster... I probably shouldn't mention, becuase it's not very polite.  D's biggest dream in life is to give Jon a rimjob. 

Since I've heard that Jon is gay, he'd probably really appreciate a rimjob, so you should really hook these two up.

Sweet! It that the backstagejbj.com site? I'd love to be on the stage.

[D]

Yeah www.backstagewithjbj.com

35 bucks a year

im gonna join as soon as tour dates are released.

let me tell u this though

U only get 1 ticket

so if u plan on taking a friend, they have to be on the site as well for u to get 2 tickets.

thats the only downfall with that.

still though, U get some kick ass opportunities

they had a fan club thing in NJ a month ago, and fans got to hear the CD, have a Q and A with Jon and everyone got his autograph and got to meet him face to face.

it lasted like 8 hours

[Genesis]

Well, looks like BonJovi's releasing a new one:

http://bonjovi.aeglive.com/

New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA - August 17, 2005 - BON JOVI will be the first band ever to perform at the Nokia Theatre Times Square when they celebrate the release of their new Island Records album, HAVE A NICE DAY, during a live, multi-media launch event on September 19th at 9:00pm (ET). The BON JOVI: HAVE A NICE DAY
LAUNCH will instantly reach millions of fans across the country, courtesy of the band's partnership with Network LIVE - a newly formed joint venture between America Online, XM Satellite Radio and AEG.

An exclusive, insider segment that explores the creative process behind HAVE A NICE DAY will precede the live performance on September 19th. Network LIVE will beam the event to AOL.com visitors and XM Satellite Radio subscribers, while the show is simulcast live in High Definition and 5.1 audio to more than 100 Regal, United Artists, Edwards, and Georgia Theatre Company movie screens in 50 U.S. markets.

"This band is about two things - the music and the fans," says front man Jon Bon Jovi. "This team we're working with has given us the opportunity to share new music with our fans on every imaginable level - in person, on the radio, online and in theatres across the country."


Atleast, somebody's releasing something.... 

[Shoco]

iv always liked bon jovi, seen them 3 times so far, they always put on a good show

richie is a really underated guitarist

[Rob]

richie is a really underated guitarist

Totally agree.  Richie is an excellent player.  So many of those guys from that era are very underrated.  Guys like Tracii Guns, George Lynch, Snake Sabo...those guys can really play.

[Tied-Up]

Richie would be a FAR better player if he wasn't playing CHEESE!

[Rob]

Behold the power of cheese.? Tied Up you're just not paying attention.? You may think Jovi's lyrics are cheese (I disagree), but Richie's playing damn sure isn't cheese.

[D]

Go over to www.bonjovi.com click on discography, select the album "Have A Nice Day" and u can listen to45 second snippets of each song.

they sound very promising.

[NicoRourke]

I especially like "Last Man Standing", "I Am", "Novocaine", "Complicated"

and the great riff of "I Want To Be Loved" => Damn that talk-box sounds pretty cool !

Can't wait to get this album

[POPmetal]

Yeah, it seems really cool.? (I still didn't like any of the songs more than Unbreakable though)

iTunes has it for pre-order
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPreorder?id=79298981
if you pre-order it, you get a digital booklet and a bonus track "Dirty Little Secret"

I got U2's How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb like that, but I was disappointed with iTunes' digital booklets. You can't even look at it in iTunes. It's just a PDF file and it doesn't go from page 1 to last page, instead it's made in an oder for printing. Also, if you don't have a giant screen, you have to zoom in and scroll around in order to read it.

I think I'll buy this for the bonus track though. Does anyone know what Dirty Little Secret sounds like?

[NicoRourke]

Does anyone know what Dirty Little Secret sounds like?

Like This

Dirty Little Secret Sample

You can find samples of all th songs here, and they're far more better than the ones on the official band's website

Also, I has been said that John Shanks is not the only producer. Jon & Richie have worked with Rick Parashar too on 4 tracks from "Have A Nice Day".

The man has worked with Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains.

Can't wait anymore for the album and the tour

D => I've got my backstage card too, hope to be somewhere near the stage for the 2005-2006 tour

[POPmetal]

Sweet! thanks estranged?

I like it! Looks like i'll get the CD and pre-order from iTunes for the bonus track.

[D]

Im just gona buy the Digipack at Best buy and download dirty little secret

I am excited as fuck about that concert as on the Regal Cinemas

I havent joined Backstage with Jon Bon Jovi but Im going to before they start touring.

[POPmetal]

Im just gona buy the Digipack at Best buy and download dirty little secret

What's the skinny on the digipack, does it have any extras?

Also, does anyone know if there will be a DualDisk version of the album?

[D]
