FMX : OK do you think now 'cause you've been away for 2 years.   Are you gonna get new fans along to Bon Jovi as well as still having the old ones being around waiting.  We know that the new album is coming out and it's been 5 years.  Do you think you'll pick up new fans as well ?

JBJ : I would hope so.   you know you look back on our previous albums, "Slippery When Wet" and "New Jersey".  They are 12 and 14 years old.   So yeah, I think there's gonna new people along for the ride and there're an amont of people that have been waiting for a whole long journey.  So you know you're gonna get somes that are gonna heard you for the first time.

FMX : When I first time heard Slippery When Wet, and I was...ah this sounds good and I still remember those days.   I still remember your concerts here in some years ago in this month at a football (soccer, btw) stadium...the Army Football Stadium.   Is your chance to be coming back here for a concert here ?

JBJ : Oh yeah... I would think that we would.     There're no definite plans right now but the whole region, I would be looking forward to hit by year's end.

FMX : OK that's good stuffs.      I'll look forward to that.   So back to the new fan stuffs. How would you introduce yourself to someone who have never heard of Bon Jovi before.

JBJ : Well I would like to think that if they came, they .....???  (I missed this..T_T)

FMX : Ok  I'm looking forward to your concert.   Is it gonna be the same as before which is rather large, dramatic with everything thrown in ?

JBJ : Yeah.   I'd like to think that our concerts are, in fact, events that ???? big class ??? [laugh]  so everybody is gonna jump , and dance, and sing along.

FMX : I was ! the last time around.     Are you still gonna continue doing some solo biz or movies ?

JBJ : Every couple of years, the band go in separate way, to me , to be in movies, to do solo records and then the band will always be here.

FMX : Now it's turned into May but people still talk about the millennium.   Did you do something for the millenium just like get the band to cheers to the next millenium ?

JBJ : Couple of the guys were here.     Everyone were here except Richie , the matter of fact.     He was back in the west coast where he called home now.     But the rest of the guys were here and we had a party in my house.

FMX : Great.   Nice to have that.       JBJ:  Yep.

FMX : So you enjoyed the welcoming of the year 2000!

JBJ : Oh Yeah very much.

FMX : We have a good thing for here, Crush, the new album, comes out on the 29th of May.   The single gets out here in Thailand next week, It's My Life.   We just heard that. The 2nd single will be coming later down the line.   As I listened to a sneaky preview of the album here.    I'm gonna play what you said it's gonna be the 2nd single.     Could you tell me a little bit about that one ?

JBJ : Sure  it's called "Say It Isn't So".    It's rather optimistic of centent....very differences of vocal approach.   It's like maybe that of John Lennon....  big rock song.. and you're looking forward to play.   It's called "Say It Isn't So".

FMX : I'll be looking forward to you coming over to do a live concert.    Jon Bon Jovi , Thank you very much for giving us a call.   Wishing you all the best in the future.

JBJ : Alright.    DJ : Thanks.
