I think they will become less popular on the next album or so, as I don't think it will sell well because they won't be as cool, and after the last two albums, a lot of the old time fans will have lost interest.

I'd love to think of them loosing their popularity, and then carrying on a little like Def Leppard, playing 3000 arenas, but I don't think Bon Jovi would do that. Even though it isn't, I think they'd consider it a comedown, and not profitable enough to do. I'd guess that Richie would also be the only member to continue to tour and record regularly.

This isn't me being negative about the band, just realistic. They don't have anymore that quality that keeps people like Springsteen reguarded as a legend.
