    Were the Manics on that early yesterday?.friend said they were on at 7 , but I never know to trust his recollection even if sober.

    Yeah I went mainly for Manics, they were only on at 6.50 and were gone again at 7.50, bit disappointing to loose at least 30 minutes.

    Jon was quite dignified through the whole fiasco but did say a couple of times that he could no longer trust Richie. He also said that year was the worst of his life and a good deal of it was down to Richie not showing up. There’s also a rumour that Richie was intending to come back for the back end of that tour and Jon wouldn’t have it. As far as the band goes, I think Richie’s burned his bridges.

    If he’s back and I’m proven wrong, I’ll buy your ticket for the gig.

    The reason Jon had such a difficult year was down to his daughter going to rehab , there were rumours that richie passed a comment about Jon being on his high horse regarding drugs when he couldn't keep.his own daughter in check but that seems to have been rubbished , at the end of the day he may return if they work out a less hectic tour maybe follow the Metallica method 2 weeks on 2 weeks off

    We didn't lose any maniac stage time they were getting the time the got no matter when they started Jovi were never going to be on for 8.10 last night it's really only a cop out from mcd to get people into the venue on time so as not to create a rush at the gates

    Came on about 6.40. Bon Jovi was on at 8.30 and played until 10.40. Encore finished at 11


    Manics on at 7 on the nosey, off at 7.50. My first time seeing Bon Jovi, thought the sound was fine, stage backdrop was amazing.

    We had 2 idiots infront of us who were acting the maggot all night and I passed them on the way out they were collapsed on top of each other on the grass ,but thankfully didn't see much of that ,I'd say tonight will be worse as the crowd will probably be much more casual with the amount of free tickets going

    His daughter overdosed in 2012. Im sure that played a part in his bad time the following year but most articles mentioned Richie, the record label fallout and the failed Buffalo Bills bid. For example:

    We've bought some Gold Circle tickets so happy to pass our free standing etickets on to the first person that can answer the following question.

    I'll PM the first user that posts the correct answer so don't answer unless you really want the tickets.

    Before Bob Jovi was formed Jon was performing in an Asbury Park club and Springsteen got on stage and preformed a few songs with him..... what was the name of that club?

    I was at the gig last night and I thought it was brilliant, the Manics did a great set when they were clearly cut up about their sound guy who died a week ago.

    For the main even, while it's clear that JBJ doesn't have the vocal range anymore and is covered by the rest of the band he's well able to put on a show.

    1 thing that REALLY annoyed me about the gig was all the smokers, I forgot how disgusting smoking is and I had 5 people around me chain smoke through the whole thing.

    Thanks for the ticket Nutzz. Thought the Manics were great, but it was my 15th time seeing them I think.

    Bon Jovi I approached very casually. I expected to know a lot more songs than I did, but I think over here at least, unless youre a fan and have the album's that only a handful of their songs ever get radio play.

    With that said, I knew every word to every Manics songs where as a lot people there knew A design for life and 1 or 2 others at most.


    Also, Bon Jovi blatantly lifted a Metallica riff, had a song that sounded like Oh Darling at one point, another that sounded like Crazy Train for a bit
