A Entrevista

Tão raro o Jon gostar do repórter que o entrevista, menos ainda dar respostas não ensaiadas...esta entrevista é o que uma boa entrevista deve ser: um bom bate papo. Incrível ver o Jon falando de Hearts Breaking Even (uma das músicas que eu escolheria pra ouvir ao vivo se o gênio da lâmpada me desse 3 pedidos na Terra!)

Mais ainda comentar de forma tão racional o fato de que o Hugh nunca vai ser um membro da banda.



"Although Alec is no longer a member of the band nor we see him, he's left the face of earth as we know it, he - in my eyes - will always be the bass player of the band. It bothers Huey! It bothers us that this bothers Huey, but that's the way it is. He's as loyal as the day is long, he's an amazing player.  I pay him for his services. He's an employee of the organization. It's hard for him and it's hard for us, but that's just the way it is". JBJ

I feel fine...

Love this song!!!

JBJ and Mr. Stipe

I'm complicated...

Jon is a complicated fellow. It is Jon's tireless drive and complexity that create such a perfect foil for Richie's infectious enthusiasm. To my mind, this is what makes these guys such great partners. (Phil Griffin)

Jon is an insane workaholic. As much as he hates to do it, he loves to do it. He was a unique situation: you're the star. The focus; everything lands on you. But that's Jon's world. He's a complicated dude. (David Bryan)

Question: Are you shy?

Jon: Introverted maybe. (pause) Introverted and yet just incredibly determined or focused to do whatever it is that I want to do. If it’s to go running this morning, or if you’re determined to drink tonight, it’s going to be the whole bottle. I don’t sip. If it’s to do anything in my life, I’m just incredibly focused and I just get pissy about it. So it causes you to be a little one-dimensional at times, but it is what it is.



Get well soon, Sambora!

"For twenty-five years, Richie Sambora has been my right hand - the brother, partner, and friend you hope to one day find from the time when you're a kid. I tell people - and I mean this as the highest compliment - you would be lucky to call him your friend. He has the talent and desire that set him apart from the average guy slinging a six-string around.

Sure, there are loads of guys who can play. There are lots of guys who can sing. But there is - and only ever will be - one Richie Sambora. " JBJ

THIS AIN'T A LOVE SONG

Aaaaaaaaaah, quando eles vão entender que These Days é um dos melhores álbuns da carreira deles? Por mim podiam tocar todas as músicas, na sequencia. Como isso não é possível, ouvir TAALS novamente seria maravilhoso. Essa versão acústica, então. Affeee!

THIS IS LOVE, THIS IS LIFE

De longe a melhor música dos Greatest Hits. Essa primeira versão ao vivo não é muito empolgante mas se eles tocassem com mais frequencia certamente ia melhorar. Vou pedir moooooooito! ;)

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

Este é uma das músicas mais bonitas que a banda já fez. Acho que nunca ouvi ao vivo. A must.

"The first song I wrote for this album [These Days]. It deals with my state of mind at the end of our last tour. I needed something to believe in. I felt good, but I did have to sort things out for myself". JBJ

LIE TO ME

Já pedi em Chicago, já pedi no Rio (e ganhei um sonoro NO!)...alguma hora ele vai ter que tocar!

A versão abaixo foi em Bristol (UK), com um vocal impecável de JBJ e uma graça no final pois ele estava atendendo um pedido de uma fã.

Sweet surrender

"I don't feel much of anything anymore. Sometimes you love me just to hate me and sometimes I just think that you love to hate me. I can't help myself, baby. I'm like a moth drawn to the flame; I know I'm gonna burn but it's so... it's getting hot that makes me feel so good. Just call it...sweet surrender". JBJ

Happy birthday Johnny!!!
