As for the new generation thing, they could get it right and pick up again. Half the people going to Bon Jovi shows weren't even alive when the first record came out.

Yes Slang. No matter how you categorize it, they did a complete 360 and made an album to fit the alternative music trend going on at that point.
The reason why Bon Jovi are crossing generations is because of everything we've been saying. Successful or not, hit or not, they've manage to stay in the spotlight and produce radio airplay up to 2012. Jon's now in a movie with an all star cast. That's huge publicity for Jon and the band.
I actually saw Def Leppard this past summer and thought they were great. They looked great, sounded great. Played all hits. I think Two Steps Behind was as current as they got but the show was a complete blast.
I even thought about how sad it is that it's all but over for most of these 80's bands. Even if/when rock comes back, these bands will be too old to continue..... Very Sad
