TAMPA - Maybe Bon Jovi making a country album isn't as odd as it seemed at first.
After all, the New Jersey band's brand of radio-friendly pop-rock isn't much further from traditional country than most of what's come out of Nashville in the past 15 years or so. Bon Jovi and its country cousins favor the same time-tested themes of love, individualism and the struggles of the common man.
Plus, both have a devoted, even deferential attitude toward fans: Sunday night, members of the Forum crowd who wished to could vote by text message (only $1.99!) for one of four song candidates up for the evening's encore. ("Wanted Dead or Alive" won and closed the show.)
And once Bon Jovi hit the stage, it was all business.
Songs from last year's "Lost Highway" jostled alongside '80s megahits and mid-period numbers such as "It's My Life." Don't care for this tune? Hang tight, the next one's sure to please. Singer Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora don't just write songs, they weld undeniable hooks to can't-miss, sing-along choruses. Even the most rabid Bon Jovi hater can probably sing the chorus to at least half a dozen of the band's hits.
Not that there were any haters apparent among the crowd of 20,537. Most everything was greeted with roars of approval, and the response for really big hits such as "Runaway" and "Born to Be My Baby" was near deafening.
"I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" featured bits of The Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" and The Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up," while "Bad Medicine" ended with that old frat party favorite, "Shout."
Daughtry, featuring chrome-domed "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry, opened the show with a set drawing from their self-titled debut album. Perhaps for the benefit of older fans, the band also delivered a worthy version of Foreigner's 1977 chestnut, "Feels Like the First Time."

| Pas sympa pour LH [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]| Citation: | TAMPA –- When you think about it, or drink about it, Chris Daughtry is basically a hairless version of Jon Bon Jovi. Both hunks excel at a slick brand of bar rock that is essentially, harmlessly, identically cut from the same chords and choruses. You come to their shows not to ponder, but to party, everyman escapism in its loudest form.

Of course, Bon Jovi, New Jersey's second-favorite rock son, has been selling-out stadiums for 25 years now. Daughtry, who famously did not win "American Idol," has only been around since 2006, his self-titled disc the fastest-selling debut rock album in SoundScan history.
So while their double bill at the St. Pete Times Forum Sunday was an inspired pairing, one that sent a humongous crowd of 20,537 into a three-hour tizzy, there was no doubt which act should be genuflecting to the other.
Flanked by four bandmates, the 28-year-old Daughtry first appeared in a cowboy hat. But his head wouldn't stay covered for long, as the dramatic reveal of his bald melon has become as crucial to his act as confetti is to Rip Taylor's.
His radio-ready music was pretty popular with the ladies, too, especially surly-sweet ballads "What About Now" and "Over You," both of which filled the arena just fine. For the latter song, he told the sing-along crowd: "If you don't know the words, it's real simple." Truer words have never been spoken.
Daughtry has a distinctive wail that can sell even the most corporate of rock. Case in point: his band's incredibly earnest, sweetly dorky cover of Foreigner's "Feels Like the First Time." As a lead-in to his smash hit "Home," he even played a snippet of Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home." He may not be the most dynamic performer, but he treats every word like gospel.
With the beer lines mighty, and the venue's temps getting steamy, Bon Jovi took the stage and proceeded to live by the hits -- and die by the new stuff. The band opened with the title track from 2007's "Lost Highway," a country album that proved to be as dull live as it is on disc. Alas, they played great chunks of that, including the brutally dumb "We Got It Going On."
But the female-strong crowd would wait with googly-eyes and patient smiles until Jon, Richie Sambora & Co. played something they liked. And that the group did, alternating new songs with old faves: "Born to Be My Baby," "You Give Love a Bad Name" and the downright cheesetastic "Bad Medicine."
Bon Jovi has been doing this for a long time, and they certainly know their strengths. Even with crummy material, the 46-year-old Jon would flash some chest or shake his fanny and the moms would scream as if he were playing the best song ever. (He wasn't; he was playing "The Radio Saved My Life Tonight"). He uncorked a short acoustic set in the middle of the crowd (including "Bed of Roses") and slapped every hand on the way back. And in his most winning moment, he did a killer Mick Jagger impression during a winky cover of "Start Me Up."
Using the talkbox or a double-necked doozie, Sambora played for all the air-guitar goofballs in the house, unleasing every solo on "It's My Life" or "Runaway" or "Have a Nice Day" as if he were in great artistic anguish. (He should have been grinning ear-to-ear after getting off easy from a recent auto-and-alcohol misadventure.)
The band cruised into the finale with a couple of crowd-pleasers, including "Keep the Faith" and a "Livin' on a Prayer" that was better than it had to be. After an encore version of the new "I Love This Town" (ugh), Jon asked everyone to rise "for our national anthem": "Wanted Dead or Alive," a great country song that doesn't try too hard to be a country song.
In the end, as a rock show, it was fine. As a girls' night out, however, it was no doubt sublime. |
