Bon Jovi should be forced to leave the country.

Hey take it easy lady, Desmond Child had no idea they were going to charge that much for tickets.

How could anyone dumb enough to like Bon Jovi possibly make enough money to buy a £1,300 ticket? High-class prostitution? Drug deals?

One wrote on the group's website: "I am going to stand up for what I believe in and use my earnings to feed my kids rather than lining some fat cat's pockets."

On behalf of New Jersey, we're collectively sorry. Still, it's the rest of the country's fault for validating them west of the GSP.

Cue the "but, Richie is a great guitarist!" crew.

(Mediocre is the new "great" in an age where music education is considered to be a Marxist plot.)

Sorry about the ticket prices, people, but all that hairspray isn't free.

When did Bon Jovi turn into Bruce Springsteen, is what I want to know.

Meanwhile, Bon Jovi performed on UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' last night (01.11.09), where lead singer Jon Bon Jovi reportedly made some unusual backstage demands.

A source said: "Jon made a big deal about his loo seat. He wanted it to be a brand new seat and his people said he wanted to see it before it was fitted upon his arrival at the studios."


Classic. And Classy.

/Likes Bon Jovi, including (in some sick fasion) some of the new stuff

I would like to see the gun being held to people's heads forcing them to buy tickets to the show.

Don't ask me, I'm still wondering how that lameass rock hack Ozzie became the godfather of metal.

If you think that this phoney-baloney male Cher cares about anything other than making money off his fans, you are a fool.

Well the first two I cant answer but ozzie was in the first band that people consider heavy metal, its not his fault hes a fuggin weirdo now. But hes a rich weirdo.

And anyone who pays for a bon jovi concert deserves to get gouged, ok I went to one once, but in my defense I was 17 and it was to get into a girls pants, its not the best excuse but its all I got.

I am admittedly not a Bon Jovi fan, in fact I don't like them at all. However they are my brother-in-law's favorite band so I have been forced to listen to and watch a lot of their shiat. In any interviews I have seen of him, he seems like a genuinely nice guy. It could all be a ruse though. I guess my question is how much control does Bon Jovi even have over ticket prices? Seems to me like that would be something that is dealt with by promoters and junk. I sincerely doubt the band is even aware what their ticket prices are.

He doesn't know how much ticket prices? Bullshiat. Whether or not you like Bon Jovi's music, he, much like Gene Simmons, is a business mogul. He was the owner of an AFL team, has several more business interests outside of music. Jon Bon Jovi is an extremely successful business man. He knows damned good well how much ticket prices are, and knows that people will pay to see it as well.

/I still like the New Jersey album.

I was just asking. I honestly don't know shiat about the music industry.If I was as big as him with as much money, that is the last thing I would be thinking about. But that is why I am not him I guess.

Does it really count as a boycott if you can't afford the tickets anyway?
