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.

There’s something more to this than simply having a shot voice. His timing is all over the place all of a sudden .

[@rwieber79]

Bon Jovi hasn't been worth a crap since Richie left. Those wannabes playing his riffs and stuff still dont have the soul or Richies voice and the pair of he and Jon together is what made Bon Jovi special. Its flat and boring without them both.

[@JiMMY-my1ds]

Good point

[@Incomudro1963]

"No one can save me the damage is done." Truer words have never been spoken. I didn't actually come here to slag Jon, perhaps his voice will make a rebound? But, having heard the trajectory of it over the years - I honstly don't think that is likely. Jon is now in a similar situation as David Lee Roth, where they don't even seem to know where the molody of the song is. There is no shame in losing your voice as you age - just like athletes lose their ability. The shame is in going out there when your shouldn't anymore. Joe Namath doesn't try ro quarterback the Jets anymore. Singers who's voices are shot, should know enough to bow out.

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

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

[@charlesritter6640]

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.

[@NJMetalGirl]

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

[@frodobaggins7252]

It's weird because not only is his timing off, and he's not in key, but his phrasing has changed. His cadence has changed. It doesn't only seem like vocal cord damage, it seems like head trauma. Or perhaps the onset of a neurological disease. Very unfortunate that the Bon Jovi machine keeps going. I'm sure that dozens if not hundreds of lives would be financially impacted if the machine were to grind to a halt, but this is just wrong in every conceivable manner.

[@stevedoylerewind7454]

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

[@TonyTheBassPlayer1]

He never should have let Richie go. Richie could imitate John's voice almost perfectly and live, he would hit all of John's high notes. Now he has nothing to hide behind. A great sound engineer and a guitarist that was so much of a pro he would hide the singer's obvious flaws. That's what he had. What the hell was he thinking about switching personnel when they are propping up the illusion for you.

[@brianberthiaume7930]

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.

[@sunsetcaptiva8573]

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.

[@gerd5479]

@Lucas Levon 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.

There is a big difference... Vince and DLR could never actually sing... Jon sang well for 30 years, and he has had covid... he is not well - big difference...

[@ryanjacobson2508]

​@@sunsetcaptiva8573 Jon has always strained and pushed beyond his comfort zone, he first battled serious vocal fatigue back in 1987 to the point where they almost stopped doing live shows. Jon did some good vocals but there's no question that he has suffered from poor technique and has not learned to sing in a way that preserves his throat.

[@reyjusuf]

13 days of rehearsing and nobody told him that his voice was broken?

[@danfrattinger1673]

This is the result of musicians going back on the road but not putting the work in at home to keep their voice strong.

[@-AtomsPhere-]

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

My guy channeling Eric Cartman

[@njriley55]

When Paul McCartney was Jon’s age (60) he still sounded sublime! Now that Paul is 80 and his voice has been declining steadily for the past 10 years, I just can’t justify paying the high prices to see him. Tonight is the last night of his sold out U.S. tour. Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen appeared. (MetLife stadium in NJ)

[@jakefinello3150]

I was there, even at Paul's age it was the best concert I've ever seen. And at 80 the fact he plays a 3 hour show is insane

[@carlbaumeister3439]

The last time I saw Paul was when he was 68, and he sounded really good - great at times. I’ve noticed since about 2016, his voice has really deteriorated.

[@carlbaumeister3439]

@@jakefinello3150 He’s perhaps the greatest musician ever-glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@kornelmi21454]

Bon Jovi in his prime was a much better singer than McCartney. It's easier to maintain the kind of voice that Paul has. Same with Jagger.

[@taylorh4480]

I see a lot of people in the comments that think they’re fucking funny but the fact of the matter is there’s something neurological going on with him that is not good at all. This isn’t something to joke about, this isn’t a man who is just worn out his welcome this is a man who has experienced a medical emergency. I don’t know if he’s had a stroke or if he’s fighting something like Parkinson’s but this is something serious going on

[@maxgorisch9565]

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

So sad I think it’s time to call it a day , I want to remember Bon jovi at their best but this is not it .

[@nickbouk7300]

Can't believe all these people who attended the show didn't know his vocal status. But nostalgia is blind. And deaf.
