Backstage_Moderator: The Live Event Chat will begin shortly! Please continue to send in your questions by typing them below and then clicking ask.
CarolineFrance: How do you decide what songs to put on the playlist during shows? According to your mood? the audience? the fan requests?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: In the afternoons, when I arrive. The base users set list remains the same. I incorporate which songs set the mood and then I change them depending on the fans banners or if the audience want more.
NikkiExeter: Do you get scared when nutters run at you on stage or won’t let go of you like last night?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: Not scared, just surprised I don’t usually see the fans coming, so the adrenalin takes over.
meshelie: Hi Jon, Is Central Park still in the works or possibly a fan club only show that could be broadcast online? I know the last is a long shot but would rock! Thanks!
Jon_Bon_Jovi: Central Park is sitll in the works for July the 12th. It will not be a fan club only concert. It will be open to the public.
Diane4bj_Darlington: What drives you and the rest of the guys show after show on a tour as big as this one is?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: We liked playing live. We always have. We built our reputation as a great live band. We don’t want to disappoint our fans or ourselves.
aimee: Hi Jon, what music do you listen to to unwind and what to boost yourself?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: I have about 100 dvds of a variety of bands in my dressing room. Last night’s pick was Thin Lizzy from 1983.
LISE37: Hi Mr Bongiovi, How do you feel about your philly team making the playoffs and wich team do you think they could have a hard time beating i’m definitely rooting for that cup and finally if PHILLY wins will there be a special concert wink wink xo Lise37
Jon_Bon_Jovi: The soul beat Dallas last night, which was an important game for us. It gives us the best record in the AFL. You would never know in football what happens on any given Sunday. If there is an arena bowl trophy, I am open to having a special concert for our fans and hopefully a parade in Philadelphia.
mari_barcelona: Hello Jon!!! How is a normal day in your life when you aren’t on tour?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: There are no normal days. There are just days w/shows and days w/out shows.
JovimimiParis: Hi Jon ,is there some songs from your huge catalogue that you really don’t like anymore ?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: Of course there are songs that you like more than others. There are some songs that you like to play that are probably less familiar to the audience so that restricts you playing them in certain countries and at certain shows.
mari_barcelona: Hello, Jon!!! Which book are you reading right now?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: I’m just finishing Thomas Jefferson, the Paris Years.

Kattitude: Did you realise that 8 of your albums went back in the Australian charts after your tour here? Even more reason to come back!

Emma_and_Anne: Out of all the movies you have made, which one did you enjoy the most and which one was your favorite:DWe love you xoxoxox
Jon_Bon_Jovi: I enjoyed making several of them. Little City & U-571 were probably my favorites and I can say that I have had good experiences and lessons learned from everyone.
JovimimiParis: Where di you hear Mercy from Duffy ? You are doing a TERRIFIC cover of that song ! bravo !!!
Jon_Bon_Jovi: I heard it when I was in Los Angeles in April. It sounded like a classic song. I’m happy to know the album is as good as the single.
Mel_Germany: Your stage outfit is ver nice. How do you select your clothes for a show? Do you have special people which give you any recommandations or is it just your own selection?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: Everything is a varying shade of black. Its quite limited. I tend to wear the same thing.

Jon_Bon_Jovi: You miss all the things you are accustomed to, your clothes, your bed, your couch.

Jon_Bon_Jovi: I waited for the nominee to be set and will support the democratic nominee for President.
TiinaFinland: Have you been able to write anything for your next album while being on the road- if so what kind of songs?

SunshineState: Hi Jon. Are you planning to release a 2nd greatest hits album soon and if so, will there be a tour to support it? Thanks!
Jon_Bon_Jovi: There will not be a greatest hits in 08, perhaps in 09 and as of now, there are no tour plans.
Fade: Bon Jovi have always kept up with technology so for the next tour what are the chances of you selling the usb wristbands (with the live show downloaded on them) that some bands like MB20 sell at their shows
Jon_Bon_Jovi: I’m open to new technologys. I would have to see it and hear it before making a judgement on it.

Amani76Jovi: What inspired you to write in the very beginning?
Jon_Bon_Jovi: In order to have any career, you had to make records. You had to make records that were unique, in their sounds and their lyrical content. At this point I think, there is a very distinct BonJovi sound.
