I think its good that bounce hasn't sold in huge large quanties. bon jovi should try to become a more classic rock band, which they don't are today, and the only way for bon jovi to become a classic rock band is to sell bad, because then the will change (hoppfully to the better...). I don't want bon jovi to write songs like everyday (its good but not great...), I would like them to write masterpieces such as my guitar, these days, wild is the wind, keep the faith,Undivied (really good song...) and so on. if they only skipped those radio songs, they would be great! ok, they won't sell that much, but very few rockgroups sell good after 20 years.

3,25 million records isn't bad, the most artist would love to sell in those amounts. crush sold good because of it's my life, from bounce bon jovi hasn't released song like that (there is a few on the album...) and thats way they don't sell.

Stones, bruce and all those artist sells because they are huge, bon jovi isn't that huge, they need a radio hit to sell, and this time they hasn't released a big radio hit.

I don't propose that bon jovi should go back to be a "small" rock band as they was in the beginnings of the 80', i just say that they don't have to sell 10 million copies of an album, they don't have to be all over the VH1 and they don't have to be on the Mtv top 40.

By the way OWN didn't sell so good (its i live album I know...)
