Point was, it may be cliched but at least the title is used in a non-cliched way, the trick that it's all about and the song type is also non-cliched when it comes to songs about children.
It has nothing to do whether it's better or worse than Ava's Eyes.
I just wanted to know why it is immediately shit to so many people.

I am not a housewife
Bon Jovi have a varied listener base, so you just can't assume that they are only one type.
And who cares what type of people listen to them. If only 1 person enjoys their music then that is 1 happy person. What is wring with that?

Don't like them anymore, don't listen to them. But go tell it to someone who gives a sh*t.

Sorry, I'm a little cranky today.
i thought that a message board was to express feelings, thoughts and opinions, no? now the fact that you disagree with him doesn't mean he shouldn't post here imo.

No, but I have my opinion too...and I chose to voice it. Like you said yourself, a message board is to express feelings, thoughts and opinions.

I'm a 18 years old fan. I started with Crush, then I listened These days, then I bought Crossroad, I liked it and I bought all the other albums... (Slippery, OWN, Jersey, Bon Jovi, 7800, KTF and These days)
Time later I bought Destination Anywhere and Blaze of glory.
And then....I bought Bounce and TLFR the same day they were released!!!!
And Last X-mas I gave myself for gift, "Lunar eclipse".
I hope this X-mas I can buy "Undiscovered soul".

What's the point of all this??? A young person can start using their brain and disconnecting theirself from Hip Hop, Rap and Pop sh|t, and start listening real music. You don't need being a housewife to like good music.

NOTE: IN last paragraph I wasn't talking about me... I've never liked hip hop, and I will never do!!!!!!

Tico's stick had every right to express his opinion. If he wanted to say it, good for him.

But I got confused about not liking BJ because of current releases. The simplest way I could explain it is; YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

Btw it doesn't matter what others think. If you want to post about a subject like BJ that you don't even like and waste your time, go for it. Everyone else will go on living their lives regardless if you like them or not.

Also, I like rap music as well. It requires talent to rhyme at a fast pace. I just hate gansta rap. About poppin' caps in people heads, and doin' b1tches.

From one gansta rap band that I forgot the name of, of a song that has a forgetable title the lyrics went something to the tune of hating everyone elses music because they suck, and if you don't like their music then f*** you.

Loads of brains required for those lyrics.

I dont think that Bounce + TLFR has done much for furthering their career with new fans , maybe they need to put the pink lycra pants back on and start shouting again .

Zombie-like fans? Housewives? Just because you're musical tastes are changing, please don't insult the rest of us. Those are very general assumptions that aren't necessarily true. Did you look around you at the last show you went to? I did and you know what I saw? An even mix of people, equal men to women, ranging from age 10 and up.

You're right, Bon Jovi isn't the driving force they once were and they probably won't be ever again. I also think it's sad you are "growing out" of them, but that's happened to me with other things so I can understand.

At least you are giving them up for good music like MB20!



KTF!

I think that's a great idea!


To the original poster: If you don't like the most recent albums, then don't listen to them... You can still be a fan of the old stuff. And nevermind what other people say - people tease me all the time about BJ, but I really don't care. And when you ignore what people say, they usually stop

No, but I have my opinion too...and I chose to voice it. Like you said yourself, a message board is to express feelings, thoughts and opinions.


fair enough until you said "go tell it to someone else" which practically means "don't post your thoughts here".
so if you like voicing your opinions here, let the others do it, too, without having a go at them.
anyway... there's no need to argue about this anymore, i think.
