You are true...Undivided, Bounce, Hook me up, wasn´t released, I can´t believe it.

However, 4-5 million is a good mark

Jon can sing Love me back to life live...

And this is because good songs like What it takes, Hearts Breaking Even, etc, etc, etc wasn't released as single...

so stop asking this kind of question
valid points

i personally still think it's ok for ppl to ask such questions. *shrugs shoulders*

No, the shows are not like they were in the 80s

Poison and Cinderella ARE STILL touring - so much for other hairbands to fall off the face of the earth.

Of all the hairbands to survive, I would have always tipped on BJ. Not self-destructive Crue, incapable Poison, Skid Row with Sebastian Bach

I liked them all, but I never thought any of those bands would have IT to make it, except for Motley, but then they were just out of control and that is bad for long-term stamina.

Personally, I don't care how many albums they sell as long as they keep making them. I take what I like and ignore the rest. Easy. Just glad they are still around.

This was a perfectly fine question, and if you don't like it, don't read it or post on it......

Bon Jovi will never be a respectable band like Poison, Motley, Van Halen, Firehouse...

Bon Jovi doesn't have personality, Jon and the guys were always afraid to be unknowed for the pop audience....

Jon and the guys, doesn't want just a audience that knows the value of the music, but they wants money, they wants more money and they know that singles like Misunderstood and All about loving you, makes teenagers and radio lovers buy their albuns, albuns like Crush and Bounce the has an essence the pop market, and extremely highly income-producing...

I don't know if the band always followed trends, exactly because I didn't know personally the scene of years 80 up to 95, but with certainty, I have the absolute pride in saying that I love the music of Bon Jovi of those good times...

THEY WAS ORIGNALS!
