"There's a lot of motion that goes with the songs. ... We're rehearsing it now and trying to get used to it. When you're onstage, you see it a little differently than when you're in the audience". This is the first Bon Jovi tour that marks bassist Hugh McDonald and guitarist Phil X as full-time band members. John Shanks, band's producer, joined on guitar on this tour along with Everett Bradley on percussions.
