Bon Jovi - here I come (again !!)

Postby moonbeam » Jun 4th, '06, 13:48



Off to see Bon Jovi (for the 5th time 8) ) in Manchester this afternoon - I don't suppose anyone else is going lol ??

Going with the missus who's NEVER been to a concert - jeez she has no idea what she's been missing :roll:

I'll let u know what it's like - although I've seen em enough times already - I don't suppose this 1 will be much different :oops:

Have an excellent time :D

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

I heard the Bon Jovi tickets are pricey. But that was the London ones.

Excellent band to take your missus to see for her first concert! :) (the first 'concert' I ever saw live was "Pop Idol, The Tour" :oops: )

I took mrs dat to the last show at Wembley Stadium as I had two complimentary tickets for the Olympic Gallery.

I met the band afterwards and I have a pair of autographed drum sticks from Tico.

A great show

At the time I worked for one of the major sponsors who coincidentally also had a number of boxes at the old Wembley.

We got about 12 ticket in total

Just got back and just as I expected, they were awesome again :shock:

First on was a band called The Gecko from Preston followed by Nickelback. I gotta admit I don't know many Nickelback songs but they sounded good 8)

Oh, I made a mistake earlier - I said my missus had never been to a concert - she'd been to one before today - Westlife at M.E.N. Arena. At least now she's been to a proper concert - she even admited that Westlife's concert was absolute cr*p compared to this 1 - about 60 000 people there today according to official sources.

I think my missus has now got the bug - she's already looking around to see who's playing where and when :evil:

....... you don't know what you're missing m8 :cry:


.....Anyway on a different note, when Nickelback were on-stage, the lead singer (whatever his name is :roll: ) decided to tell a joke (Disclaimer - Anyone under the age of.... ermm ..... I dunno, say 14 years of age, stop reading now).

He started by saying that if any parents had kids with them of 10 years of age and under - they should send them for a burger 8)

Anyway the joke goes:

A guy, who happens to be a very keen fishing fanatic, has arranged to take his wife and dog with him on his next fishing trip. The big day arrives and his wife is having second thoughts, thinking that it's prolly gonna be as boring as hell. She tells him that she doesn't really wanna go.
The guy is obviously a lil' disappointed as he's been looking forward to this for a while now. "You can choose one of two ways to get out of this", he says. "Oral or anal". She thinks to herself, "there ain't no way he's kicking my back doors in", so she gets on her knees and gets on with it :twisted:
After just a few seconds she jumps back up screaming "Oh my God man, you taste like sh*t", to which the guy replied "Oh I forgot to mention, the dog didn't wanna go fishing either".

The crowd's reply was class - all you could hear was everybody groaning :oops:

Yea you're right m8 - some radio station (can't remember the name :oops: ) held a competition and bands had to audition for the chance to support Nickelback and Bon Jovi - The Gecko won.

They only played about 4 songs ish, but they sounded okay - and in my opinion they certainly haven't done their careers any harm - there's an extra 60 000 people now, up until yesterday, had probably never even heard of them :roll:
