Well said

Steve has lost range due to natural aging, but he never struggled with technique or vocal fatigue. Jon BJ has battled serious vocal issues (caused by poor technique and fatigue) for decades.

@@ryanjacobson2508 yea, for sure. Im just saying this is why he doesn't tour. It would be a no win to try his songs live at this point. I respect that

And Paul Rodgers

True bro journey fans just don’t get that at this moment arnel is the better singer and frontman for journey

🤣🤣

No i sing better😄😄

I know anyone can sing better! Anyone!

All about the 🤑now

Ha ha.

I agree. It seems like something mental. Did he have something like a stroke? It’s as bad as someone with no talent singing for the first time.

@@BakerImageGroup I hope not. But there’s definitely something a miss. As I say I’ve seen and heard a lot of old timers sing with a shot voice , that’s normal . But to hear him so out of time etc is definitely concerning

@@Themaskplague yes. It’s not fair to his legacy or his fans to perform this way.

@@BakerImageGroup yer I think someone needs to maybe have a word with him and say it’s time to call it a day. And then I just pray health wise he is ok and there isn’t something mentally that’s gone wrong

Could be hearing issues. Hopefully it isn't a cognitive issue.

lol

😂😂😂😂😂

I'm going with Vince Neil! LoL.

@@shavingdave1 "WAAAAHHHHGAAAHHHH"

Both suck

And Paul Stanley.

@@stephenhensley5631 different, paul stanley is 70. Kiss has toured non stop for almost 50 years! Paul stanley even did the phantom of the opera in the 90s. His vocals were that good. Paul stanley physically is in fantastic shape. But , vocals have issues. Its the age.

I honestly think you are right. Exactly right. Sounds like Carol Channing.

Or, he just doesn't give a shit anymore

I was thinking the same thing. It’s seems like he’s suffered some sort of brain damage. He seems almost child like.

@@stevedoylerewind7454 god these comments are so bloody ridiculous!!!

He’s trying different tactics to stay in key. It must be very uncomfortable and nerve wracking for him to not know exactly how to make it work.

its not that they dont where the melody is, its that they cant hit all the notes in the melody so they have to sing harmony notes instead which effectively changes the melody that we are used to. but in his case it seems he is struggling neurologically

I agree completely. I watched a David Lee Roth video recently and I WAS embarrassed for him, I couldn't believe how bad it was. He literally talked his way through the songs.

Vince Niel ain't sounding so hot either. hard drugs & alchool wreaks havoc on the body an mind. sad.

Good point

I doubt is the only reason

I agree!

I don’t think it’s an age thing, there’s vocalists older than him still going and still singing in key. This is something else. He either needs to sort it out (if it can be sorted), or he should indeed retire.

You know how many people are on the payroll? Me either but it’s a lot.

They want the money now because this has got to be the last tour.

I have been listening to the past recordings and I didn't realize Jon has been singing badly for a lot of years. I don't know what year exactly but he started getting injections in his throat in 1987. That is crazy!!!

He’s sounded bad live for quite awhile. It’s not news to anyone.

@@pammajor9470 it's been bad for 20 years IMO. I haven't even heard most of his songs since then because I lost interest due to his horrible live performances .

lol

TOO FUNNY!! - Felt the same way...😆😅🤣😪

😂I think I’ve heard him sing worse than this.

@@christar9527 Worse than this?, I’ve heard better singing at a Karaoke.

Top comment 😂😂😂

What's wrong with it?

@@mikeharris127 Lmfao!!!

@@mikeharris127 Are you mutton jeff ?

@@mikeharris127 If you think this is good, honestly my friend, see an ear doctor TODAY!

Yes he needs to quit, now he had his time.

I heard people say they think he had a stroke, that would explain the timing and Covid for his voice -🤷🏼‍♀️ . I love him but if I went to this concert I would ask for my money back .

A undiagnosed micro stroke would explain this , but where is the voice of reason ( no pun intended) amongst the production people , who came to the conclusion that its ok cos its more important for the folks to see him than to save his reputation, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW BAD THE MORALE IS BACKSTAGE, he has shit all over his career and the yes men around him just watched , very very sad.

He had covid which has impacted his breathing, and I think he has hearing damage - not uncommon for lead singers of his era - especially since he doesn't wear "in ears" he depends on old school floor monitors to hear himself and the band... I think the pitch is part covid damage and part hearing issue, the hearing issue would also explain the timing... he seems to be chasing the lyrics being a full beat off.

This is not my real Band, Sambora was the best! And what the hell play shanks on the Guitar?

There is no joy in Jersey Mighty Johnny has struck out.

Def Leppard actually sang that one

Don't you know that all my heroes ..died. I GUESS I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN FADE AWAY.

Def Stole it from Neil Young. @@Dee-1969

It sounds to me like he's trying to prepare or adjust before every note he struggles to sing. Anyways, it sounds like he's actually in pain while singing and he should stop.

His voice and phrasing has been going downhill for 5 years. He probably is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. Linda Ronstadt noticed the same thing with her voice and stopped singing.

You nailed it!

It reminds me very much of present day David Lee Roth.

@@Lehmann108 I think that’s precisely what’s going on. I’ve watched it happen within my own family. Looks exactly like this

Joe lynn turner, paul Rodgers,

@@tttarms1970 Turners not so great now. Hasn’t been for a few years now. He just about gets away with it. Rodgers is in a league of his own.

@@deepzepp4176 saw joe lynn back in 08... killed it then....

@@tttarms1970 Yeah he was, but 2008 is further back than we think.

@@deepzepp4176 I hear ya....just glad I saw that with richie blackmores kid, and every musician in rainbow....

Remember David Lee Roth embarrassing himself trying to be his former self fronting van Halen?..same here

Poison is still annihilating it!

No he doesn't

Brian Johnson also,

Oh yes he does!!!

He's 60.

UK rock 'n' roller Marty Wilde is 83 and sounds like he did in 1957!

So on point

Do you think he knows how bad it really is? Not arguing, but for example I can bet you he doesn’t listen to any recordings of this tour. He might think he’s sliding by with all the background vocals and band.

@@lucaslevonmusic Firstly it is very common for artists to listen to soundboard recordings of performances whilst on tour, in order to evaluate performances and remedy any issues that require attention. JBJ does not reside in a cocoon, has access to media, both social and otherwise. His vocal performance, or lack there of, is one of the big, if not the biggest stories in Rock n roll right now. Hard to imagine that he is ignorant of this. For me there is no doubt that he is aware all is not well. He and his band look on occasions embarrassed by this rubbish on the various YT clips of this tour. I cannot imagine that after the show they are high fiving with JBJ about the killer performance he is delivering. No body on stage is having any fun here. There is no wriggle room here. It is a shit show pure and simple. He knows it, the band knows it and all but the dedicated " he can do no wrong.....his smile still breaks a thousand 💔.....etc" fans know it. JBJ bank account wins and his legacy is screwed. Very sad, because he was brilliant back in the day. Sad to see what was one of the greats crumble in public like this. Sadder to think that he is doing this by choice.

@@gerd5479 he can get away with it live. Also, it's not recorded properly as it's a bootleg. In a proper live recording, Jon will sound far worse. I'm sure we won't see an official recording of this tour. Whatever it is, the band can continue but they sure need another singer.

@@trento7183 another singer for sure, though that will obviously mean changing the name of the band, so then the marketing value dives.

Oh shuttup!!

Hah, good one!

@@cryptotroll1232 what's that comment related too ?

James’s comment is funny thats all

He has took a rest. 2 years lol

Lynrd Skynrd tried both...

Lol

In a blaze of glory perhaps?

@@davidharding200 it might be a blaze, but it’s far from glorious

You can go down in a blaze of glory as well lmao 🤣

I’m glad you said it, because I was thinking, yes his singing sucks, but the music is off too. Even though this is pop style rock, it had a good driving beat when released.

Richie left and it was like the Titanic. ...and the band played on :D !!

Yeah they must be terrible. I mean nobody pays to see, oh wait.

That’s BAD!!!!!

Well, Richie was replaced by two guitarists, but even those were not enough, they can't sing like him

Could not have put it better ....embarrasing rubbish but he has no shame obviously

Saw richie's show recently. Looks like his voice is declining too. Getting old sucks.

@@The2012pirate i feel like if Richie took better care of himself his voice would be even better. I think theres still faith for him tho

Richie was a powerhouse and Jon was too proud to admit that. It's a shame because Jon is only 60. I'm sad to say how bad he sounds. They should have never broke up.

He says the deemege is dahn

It's the Jon..😂😂😂

Jon is not ready to step down yet, Jesus Christ, Jovi are still filling stadiums , bonjovi forever

@@julielloyd4961 My god, he should be. McCartney is 80 and can play and sing circles around him

@@RyanBedlack bonjovi has plenty of fire left in him yet , hope he goes for as long as he can , may be til 80 ??

​@@julielloyd4961 oh YEAAAAAAHH

2 others who need to give it up.....Billy Joel and Paul McCartney!

They’re thinking “we’re making lots of money!!!”

@@lucaslevonmusic Or least they've still got jobs. Major tours employ hundreds of people and bring business for dozens of industries for months on end. I often wonder if fading stars feel obligated and/or pressured to keep doing it for the sake of everyone around them.

@@lucaslevonmusic yeah, pretty much but I bet Richie is glad they had the fall out now...the bands all rich-do they need the humiliation ?

A good guy? 🤣 I guess you've spent time with him?

A shill for Hillary Clinton just like Paul McCartney. I guess a great guy is a matter of opinion.

2/10

Yeah, everyone always talked about Vince. But at least the songs are still recognizable.

Oh wow I hope that fan is me , I would love to sing with jon , Ive been waiting since 1984 !!

Mark Wahlberg

great movie!

I had to listen to it twice , because I couldn’t believe it was that bad the first time . But it is .

Band soundes great actually just not the singer

If you watch the documentary that came out, he was working really hard actually.

Jon still sounds better than Vince. Vince doesn't even sing the lyrics anymore, he just makes sounds that somewhat mimic the lyrics.

So true even his talking voice sounds tired and unhealthy

That’s embarrassing

Maybe Jon should try the love you rap !

Pathetic remark , sounds like a David Cassidy concert , dont be so bloody stupid !!

@@lucaslevonmusic nope not embarrassing , brilliant if you ask me .

GLENN HUGHES IS A REAL SINGER WHO HAS REAL TECHNIQUE, JUST LIKE IAN GILLAN, AND PAUL ROGERS, THOSE ARE REAL SINGERS, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT JOHN BON JOVI HAS ALWAYS SANG FROM THE THROAT AND ALWAYS SOUNDED STRAINED AND STRIDENT TO ME,FUCKMAN , ALICE COOPER SOUNDS BETTER, AND THATS SAD, HE SHOULDA CANCELED THIS TOUR , BUT EGO AND VANITY AND GREED MAKE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS. I WISH HIM THE BEST THO COS HE SEEMS LIKE A VERY NICE AND DECENT GUY, SAMBORAS LAUGHING THO, COS HE WAS THE BETTER SINGER FOR SURE

@@brianberthiaume7930 I agree 100% with your entire comment 👍

I think it's because Jon is not "gifted" in singing like some other lead singers are. He taught himself to sing and he didn't learn how to preserve his vocal cords

@@brianberthiaume7930 I've always thought that Sambora was the better singer. Thought I was the only one!

​@@hollydespain2593 Some people's voices can't sustain the stress of a live rock concert. Jon has one of those voices. He's been fighting vocal strain and fatigue for over 30 years.

Even i who is not a Bon Jovi fan have noticed that Riche was/is a much better singer than Jon ever was.

Nah, he couldn't help with Jon sounding THIS bad.

As bad as he sounds, maybe that’s not such a bad idea!!! 🤣

Seriously how much did you pay for your ticket?? - I heard he had gotten bad but I have no idea it was this horrendous my mind was blown!🤯

How can some one get drunk at a bonjovi concert baffles me . I've watched them from 1984 til now been to 100 shows , 37 years following them , just waiting for concert 101 , fed up of everyone slagging Jon off , leave the guy alone , he's 60 , I listened to them singing runaway in concert in 1984 , I was 14, Jon was 23 , obviously Jon can't hit the high notes now but so what , I'm still enjoying listening to them

@@TammyFox1989 I've listened to him singing live when he was 23, he's now 60 , he's not going to hit the high notes obviously , I've followed them for 37 years and counting , would never say a bad word about them .

@@julielloyd4961 You've left the same comments on a lot of replies already, I think people understand that you are in love with Bon Jovi and support him💯 it's just there's something wrong with him medically! I saw him in the early 2000's and he was great not talking or mumbling or making up words to the songs. Just hope he gets the help that he needs!

@@julielloyd4961 If I didn't know this was Jon Bon Jovi I would think I was listening to a drunken old woman at a karaoke bar. He misses every note, he's out of time and his voice is wobbling all over the place. Everyone in that arena should have demanded their money back. This is a contender for the worst vocal performance of all time.

Who the hell is "JBJ"??

@@crimsonpearl4686 Jon Bon Jovi =JBJ

No one will ever sound as good as Jon bonjovi , you will in your life time will ever sound like him , bonjovi fan for 37 years from 1984 onwards .

@@crimsonpearl4686 the one and only fantastic Jon bonjovi

@@julielloyd4961 - WRONG. It’s really John Francis Bongiovi Jr!!! That’s his REAL birth name.

Icon?? A bit of a stretch!

He's GOT to know, unless he suffers from hearing loss. I guess he needs the money real bad.🤑

His band is great but they must be really embarrassed. The band is carrying him and should be payed accordingly. What a rip.

What the heck are you on about , he's not been in a car accident , what a ridiculous comment .
