Jon Bon Jovi Continues to Struggle Through Tour – “Dead or Alive” @ Greenville, SC Concert – 2022 – VIDEO – LIVE – REVIEW
Jamey Jasta: Besides Dee (Snider) & (Sebastian) Bach who still REALLY has the pipes?! No tapes! Who can actually belt em out? Sadly not JBJ.
A concert review (Pioneer Press) from their show on April 3, 2022 at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center Saint Paul, MN.
Jon Bon Jovi’s pained vocals were livin’ on a prayer at Xcel Energy Center concert
Sunday’s show delivered pretty much everything you’d want from a Bon Jovi concert with one major exception — some shockingly poor vocals from Jon Bon Jovi. He’s never been a particularly technical singer and his voice has lost some power over the past decade. But Bon Jovi didn’t just miss a note here or there, he struggled throughout the two-plus hour show. Nothing from his past suggested such a sudden decline was coming.
He wasn’t just butchering the older stuff, which the band now plays in a lower key, but the fresh material as well. And weirdly enough, at times it sounded like he was trying (and failing) to emulate Axl Rose in his prime. Quite frankly, it felt like he had forgotten how to sing.
Not to put too fine of a point on it, but one can’t help but wonder why no one in the Bon Jovi organization sat the guy down for an honest chat. I guess it’s because he’s the boss and no one wants to cross him? He’s always been the face of the group and, in the time since Sambora left, he’s taken full control. He’s the only band member who writes songs (many with Shanks and other producers) and the cover of “2020” is a solo shot of Bon Jovi looking somber in shades.

Paul Rodgers is 71 and sounds almost the same as he did in the 70’s

I actually cried when I saw the video of Jon singing so awful. I was such a fan of his & the Bands since 1984. I pray nothing is physically wrong w Jon. I know it’s not my business, but I hope his family is involved in this matter.
He touched my heart with his great voice during many concerts.
Thanks Jon & I wish u the best.
Whoever mentioned that Sebastian Bach can still sing doesn’t have a clue about music or vocals. He can’t hack it live and never could. Educate yourself before you humiliate yourself. Yes, Jon is having difficulties, but he has a history of being a great frontman. Sebastian Bach has nothing but his loud mouth and disgusting remarks.
The cowboy has done everything that needs to be done he should ride off into the sunshine for a rest Sambora needs to come back and set things right brothers are 4 ever BON JOVI WILL BE BACK STRONGER
I suspect he’s had some major vocal chord damage during the tour. Even a few days earlier in the tour he was sounding basically in tune in his comfortable range. It could also be a post Covid weakness in his vocal chords. Touring may have just been too much too soon. I hope they heal up. He’s such an energy powerhouse.
