Where Bon Jovi Fans Unite

Is Bon Jovi Coming To Las Vegas?
Sep 3rd
Could Bon Jovi be leaving the road for a long stay in the desert?
All over the web, people were talking about a rumor claiming that Bon Jovi has been offered a highly lucrative deal to have a residency at a top Las Vegas hotel. Given the popularity (and success) of these Vegas residencies, it doesn’t seem that implausible.
Even Perez Hilton reported on this rumor. Yet a rep for the band tells Gossip Cop that “It’s not true.”
Is this a rumor that just took on a life of it’s own, or is there more to the story? We’ll just have to wait and see!
Video of Bon Jovi Performing on American Idol!
May 14th
It’s always great to see Bon Jovi back in the news and seeing the band still rocking large stadiums like they’ve always done before. Wednesday night was no different, except the venue was American Idol and the stage was not only the thousands of fans who were there live, but also the millions of people who were watching Bon Jovi while watching American Idol on TV.
Here’s Bon Jovi performing on American Idol:
Bon Jovi performed a blaring rendition of “Superman Tonight,” the second single from their 11th studio album, The Circle. In the past, frontman Jon Bon Jovi has described the song as “something like a diary of the observer, and I’m just the fly on the wall,” providing a suitable context for the musician’s role on Wednesday night’s “American Idol”: While Bon Jovi himself is used to taking center stage, even his rocking presence couldn’t fully alleviate the crowd’s anxiety over who would be going home next, an unfortunate distinction that ultimately fell upon Lynche.
Following the end of “Superman Tonight,” Ryan Seacrest spoke with Bon Jovi, lead guitarist Richie Sambora and the rest of the band’s roster to congratulate them not just on their performance, but on their status as “the #1 touring band in the world [and] another #1 album.”
Asked how Bon Jovi are able to replicate their success year after year, Jon replied: “You know, hard work and good luck. Good friends who have put us in the right places.
“We’re humbled. We’ve crossed generations at this point,” Bon Jovi said amid wild applause from the young audience. “It’s really great. The sky’s the limit. The harder we work, the luckier we get — that’s pretty much the way it is.”

Bon Jovi Rocked Philadelphia!
Mar 25th
Bon Jovi finally made their way to Philly this week, and I was able to score tickets to Wednesday’s show!
First off, the set list (courtesy of Blame It On The Love):
- Happy Now
- We Weren’t Born To Follow
- You Give Love a Bad Name
- Thorn In My Side
- Born To Be My Baby
- Lost Highway
- Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars

From all accounts, Wednesday had the better set list, so that worked out well for me. 
Philly.com posted a review of Tuesday’s show, along with a bunch of behind-the-scenes pictures which are pretty cool. Looking at the comments on there, it seems that there were some mixed feelings about the show. You’re always going to have some people you can’t please, but from my view, everyone looked to be having a great time!
Want to see some video from the show? I left my Flip cam at home (pretty sure they wouldn’t have let me in with it), but Deb308 posted a handful of videos on YouTube. The quality’s not great, but she probably recorded it with her cell phone or something.
Also, 94.1 WYSP (the local Rock station in Philadelphia) posted a Bon Jovi Photo Gallery that’s definitely worth checking out. Nothing from this show, but 44 pictures from various events over the past year or so.
It was quite a night, and my ears are still faintly ringing. That’s all for now!
