Smile From a teenage viewpoint

Hello Everybody, i just thought after reading sebs review on why he was still a fan, i would share with you the thought on bon jovi from my viewpoint

I First became a fan of the band in roughly 2003, it was the time TLFR was out, and i was bitterly dissapointed that it was acoustic lol rather stupid in my younger days, but loved the band from the onwards, and have purchased every cd, dvd and been to a concert from every album since and loved it!!!!

When its my life came out in the UK i was to young to have a favourite band if that makes sense, i was into boybands im ashamed to say, and i hated its my life because in the UK I remeber it was everywhere, but now i have realised what a success it was and how many new fans it generated the band, i would love them to have that success again.

From my viewpoint the jovi since 2000 is my band, i appreciate completly where the older fans are coming from when they say they have changes, and maybe not in a good way, i own the disography from beginning to end, and can quite clearly see and hear the change in the band, and the path they have choose to go down. However i love it as thats what i know from the band, its what i expect, and therefore im never dissapointed, but can see how people who grew up listening to slippery and ktf would be less than happy.

Its probably because of my age again, but i loved seeing the band on the x factor, it got people talking about the band, almost got the album to number 1, and most importantly it was a chance to see my favourite band, one that isnt on the music charts or the radio that often, so i sat back and enjoyed it.

Im not saying for 1 minute dont criticise the band, as there people who have followed them for over 20 years, and yes they make a few wrong decisions here and there..song choices..ticket prices but i always think what would i do if the band stopped making music, and that alone makes me want to support the band even more

Im not asking you to agree with me, just wondered if you guys felt strongly against this or can see what i mean

Thanks for reading
Dave
