Bon Jovi will never be a respectable band like Poison, Motley, Van Halen, Firehouse...
Firehouse??? OMG, they had one album that did well. They were a hair band joke back in the day along with Poison.

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!

I agree they want money, but after all it's their job ... with the "European tour" for exemple, it was a good proove that they are now very after money, more than in the past apparently. But if their music or style is a bit different, they're still a great band, and about personnality, i think you're wrong, if the media don't like them very much it's in part because they are not like "everyone". And if Bon Jovi is not a respectable band, then what are they ? If you said the Stones or AC/DC ok, but the bands you named, it's ... sorry, but laughable !

that can constantly sell over 5 milion on almost if not all the albums they have put out.

I got in to Jovi with SWW and seen them live on New Jersey and Keep the faith in the 80's & early 90's, they were good. I seen the crush show this summer & let me tell you they were better than the 80's shows they did that I saw. Jon can sing again! Alot of the times in the 80's he couldn't sing from overworking.

Bon Jovi is a band that came out Bublle Gum and turned into a well respected world class band. Jon has even said in interviews they were cheddar. Out of all the 80's bands that were awesome crue poison cinderella skid row I never would have thought Bon Jovi would be the band to survive, But I sure as hell am glad they did.
LOL Bon Jovi fans rock
Totally agree...Specially the Bon Jovi fans rock part!!!!!!
