Sambora Loves the Stadiums...

Sambora loving Bon Jovi's stadium gigs

Bon Jovi's next Australian gigs will be big-scale stadium shows, but guitarist Richie Sambora is promising an 'intimate' experience for fans.

The band hits Australia in December as part of their two-year world tour to promote their latest album, The Circle.

The rock legends announced last month they would play shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.

A second and final show for Sydney was announced on Wednesday, ahead of the start of general ticket sales on Thursday.

The band, which kicked off their tour in the US in February, has just completed a series of concerts at London's 02 Arena, and Sambora says he's loving the massive shows.

'Anybody that says they don't like it means they can't do it,' Sambora told AAP from his Los Angeles home during a week-long break from the tour.

'The event is so much fun, to take part in that ... it really comes down to us being able to do that and we do it very very well.

'Jon (Bon Jovi) happens to be one of the best frontmen when it comes down to making a stadium seem like a small place.'

Sambora says he's looking forward to coming back Down Under - the band was last here in 2008 - and he's promising Aussie fans a great concert experience.

'We're bringing the most amazing production, there's going to be a high-definition screen behind us that's 55 feet (16 metres) high and 115 feet (35 metres) long so everybody gets very close and personal to the band and it becomes an intimate kind of experience.'

With a career spanning almost three decades, Bon Jovi have sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts around the world.

The Circle is the New Jersey band's 11th studio album, released in November last year.

Before they hit our shores, Bon Jovi will also have released a best of double album, which contains five new songs and is due out in November. Aussie fans will be among the first in the world to hear some of those songs performed at a live concert.

Australia is one of 30 countries the band will visit during this world tour.

Sambora says the band has had a 'passionate love for Australia since the 80s' and the now single guitarist - he was married to TV star Heather Locklear and has dated actress Denise Richards - joked that 'the girls have been very good'.

'... I'm free again ... I'll be looking for my future ex-wife, absolutely,' he laughed.

I am and always have been a Bon Jovi fan. This blog is just my obsession taken a step further, my imagination in high gear if you will. I love to read and decided to see what would happen when I took that love of the written word and ramped it up a bit.
