Las Vegas - In a month, the U.S. band Bon Jovi in Mannheim as a guest. We have spoken with David Bryan, Richie Sambora and TICCO Torres in the spring at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas.
Fit skirt and a city like Las Vegas so artificial at all together?
Richie Sambora: Sure. We regularly give concerts in Las Vegas. The MGM Grand Hotel has a very large stadium, many fans see the place. Many even come here from Los Angeles to see us. In addition, Las Vegas is a great city, which is becoming more family friendly. One can even indulge here quite a weekend, relax and just have fun.
Can you imagine, in a few years to appear here every night, in the style of Celine Dion?
Richie Sambora, David Bryan, TICCO Torres (unanimously): No, absolutely not. We would find far too boring.
Your tour this year is anything but boring, she leads you through the U.S., to Canada and to Europe. What does the German audience?
David Bryan: We were a couple of times in Germany and the German fans know already a bit. It continues to surprise us, remind us how much the German fans to our audience at home in New Jersey. This year we want to make the evenings as personal as possible so that the fans remember that a concert in Germany for us is like a home game.
Are there any special memories of concerts in Germany?
Richie Sambora: I remember those rainy show in Dresden, which was actually one of our greatest concert experiences. The great thing was that it was raining like crazy. I mean, it was really awful, and 60 000 people did not seem to mind. No one has left. And the first thing Jon did was to go forward, where the roof ended up in a bucket to pour water over your head and shout: "I am with you" Since we have also gone out and with other people become wet - as an experience you simply must make together.
On 16 July you're playing in Mannheim. Is the set list look different than in the U.S.?
Richie Sambora: Absolutely, because we always change something. The show tonight will be different than for example the next show. After all, we have quite a few songs to choose from! Variety is important-especially when many nights in a row on the same stage plays: When we played last year, twelve nights within a month at London's O2 stadium, we would have even almost managed to play all our songs once.
And the most important of all these songs, "Livin on a Prayer", right?
David Bryan: Well, yes, "Livin on a Prayer" plays where we come from all four: the working class. We are working-class kids and somehow we are, our families and friends are all a bit like Tommy and Gina. The song can be applied to many of life's truths.
Richie Sambora: There was a stylistic change it but really only when our album "Keep the Faith". As we have grown up, and with us our text: to include a sudden it was important for us to political issues and cultural considerations. It went from there to just more about what moves the world.
What do you do when you're not touring?
Richie Sambora: Well, we take care of the children they bring to school and pick them up again. We make the budget, bring on down the garbage, things like that. We enjoyed it very much. On stage we are rock stars, but we are also fathers. I want my daughter just as often it's about me.
And when they take time for your individual projects? David Bryan, yes you have a career as a Broadway story in mind ...
David Bryan: Oh yes, my Broadway career. The musical, where I worked, we will soon be touring in America and we want to show it later in London. As soon as I find time, I care that we can perform the piece in Europe. Creativity is just excellent news!
Richie Sambora: We do this tour after a very long musical break, so that David can tinker with his play. It is therefore important that all this time had come to our show!
Bon Jovi to play on Saturday 16 July in Mannheim. The evening begins at 18 clock.
