2. Ah let the guy make a few bucks off some knock off rings will ya? You with the singing and protecting of the "common man" whily you bask among the rich and famous. You are getting worse than that other New Jersey singing star, and I dont mean Frank Sinatra.

4. UGH Frost & tip Bongiovi. Sucked then, sucks now. I had to sit through a Bon Jovi concert when they opened for Ratt. OMG it was TORTURE. Ratt Rocked. They blew out all the electricity in Irvine for an hour!

5. I'm definitely leaning towards the 'I hope that even if the AFL DOES come back in Philly, I ain't...' side of the fence. Krausey's not out to make money on this...he's trying to give us (fans, the team) closure on the best of seasons...don't hold your breath for that from the ownership side....

Jon Bon Blowme can just kiss my ass...

6. Geez, fate dealt him a pretty freaking good hand and he can't even let someone else make a buck because he's too freaking greedy! I hate it when celebs get all sue-happy on everybody, even their own fans if it means a couple bucks might be taken from them. Screw that. Bon Jovi are one lucky group of dudes to put out crap music with the WORST, cheesiest lyrics hands-down ever and still sell millions upon millions. And guess what? No one owns "soul". Anyone should be able to sell "soul" rings. You shouldn't be able to patent stuff like that. It's amazing how pompous and arrogant stars become and how they turn on their fans if money is involved. Screw that.

7. Bon Jovi are an amazing bunch of men....if they suck so much, I highly doubt they would be THIS famous or make an awful lot of money if they couldn't play. They are successful because of who they are and what they do....and I doubt "Jon Bon Blowme" would enjoy blowing you OR kissing your ass.

8. Could see this one coming from a mile away ... Krause had no right to hold any kind of event related to the Soul once he had been dismissed. (Let go way too late in my opinion. Lots of people have called him a snake oil salesman and that ain't so far from the truth.) I say ... you go Jon Bon. Give em hell!

Shame...if Jon does something, it MUST be gospel, right? What horsecrap. All this 'I heard...' from others bull. Did you ever have any contact with Joe? If so, what was YOUR experience? I'm not sure where you get the 'snake oil salesman' idea. There was not one time that Joe didn't come though with what he said he would do in all my dealings with him. Can you say the same about Jon? Hmmm...no.

The Hard Rock meet and greet? How'd that go? Oh, yeah, cancelled. What about the ticketholder concert, that was kickin' right? Oh, yeah, cancelled too...At least that concert he promised on air at the radio station...that went off without a hitch though, right? Uh oh...don't tell me THAT got cancelled too? Hmm...I'm...sensing a pattern here...

11. Having seen the design for the ring in question first hand, JBJ doesn't have a leg to stand on as it contains nothing, I repeat, nothing, that is protected by copyright or trademark. Sounds like a retribution lawsuit for Krause suing over nonpayment of commissions owed. He should counter-sue Bon Jovi for harassment.

12. What Soul event was held? Nothing was billed as official Soul anything.
The Soul owe Krause. This is a simple drop yours drops ours routine.
And how could Joe's ring be anything like an official ring that doesn't exist?
Why are there no pictures comparing the two?

13. Lay Your Hands On Me-
Well thats why they got into trouble.

Hands Off-
NOT right to SUE the Bon Jovi camp-

Start workin your own gravy tarin and get a real job -not a job thru lawyers.
Bottom feeder.

LAY YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!!!!!

Why are you even messing with a lame arena football league anyway.
No One watches that. That's why the season was cancelled.

15. To Philly Cat...yes, I have dealt with Joe Krause MANY times and each and every time he over promised and under delivered. The term "Sleazy Car Salesman" was what I felt from him the very first time I met him. I ended up speaking with Jason after being screwed by Krausey everytime! As for all the Soul cancellations, the AFL was cancelled. HELLO! It wasn't because JON cancelled them. It plainly stated that the ring ceremony and concert for ticket holders will be postponed to the beginning of next season and all 2009 ticketholders will STILL have tickets. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT before you blow off about something you obviously don't know about.
The only event that Jon cancelled was the dinner and that was because he felt what KRAUSEY promised us was not going to be able to be delivered with the time constraints made due to the other committment. We don't know that Jon EVER knew about the promises KRAUSEY made to us. Probably just another sleazy trick like he always did.
In my opinion, they didn't get rid of Krausey fast enough.

And as for the other people saying let the guy make some money, Jon's got enough. It has nothing to do with that. Krausey held an event for Soul fans that was AGAIN misrepresented to us and ended up being a bunch of crap because it was not an Official Soul event. It was a smooth way for Krausey to try to sell fake rings of other merchandise before everyone there realized it was all a crock!! Jon is suing not just for the rings, but for misrepresenting himself as still Soul affiliated and holding Soul functions etc. You people need to get over yourselves.

And no...Joe does not deserve commisions on sales for a season that is not going to happen. All season tickets are being refunded. That's the way corporate America works. You don't get the commission until the deal is done. If your sale falls through for ANY reason, you don't get yur commission...sucks but that's how it works...not just in Soulville.
