It's much cooler to listen to Eminem these days than to listen to Bon Jovi. Too many people consider Bon Jovi to be has-beens...Eminem is the "in" thing right now...
I'm not a fan of his, he has made too many stupid decisions (ex: the Moby incident) and said and done too many stupid things for me to have much respect for him. But I can tolerate his music a lot more than any other rap. But he's not a stupid person. I don't think he's necessarily a fan of Bon Jovi, but as someone else said earlier, I think he has respect for them and what they have accomplished over the last two decades. I think he understands how hard they worked to get where they are and I think he respects that they are still here now, rather than dying off after their heyday... Because of their accomplishments, longetivity and the fact that they are still popular, Bon Jovi is a name to be respected in the music business, and I think Eminem realizes that. Regardless of what he thinks of their music, he's smart enough to realize that you can't do what Jovi has done without the talent to back it up.
I just thought, imagine the rise in popularity Bon Jovi would have if Eminem were found listening to their stuff? Wonder how many of his fans would suddenly decide that Bon Jovi is cool just because Eminem thought so...
