Absolutely, I agree. Especially since these days there are so many manufactured bands whether it's an American Idol contestant being told what to sing and how to sing it or Jessica Simpson adding her ooohs and ahhhhs to someone else's words. It's fake...and loses the meaning of the song when the singer recites lyrics that came from sonone else's mind. Bon Jovi are one of the few who still keep rock and roll alive and true.

I would have a completely different outlook if they didn't write or cowrite each of their songs...and no where near the respect level.
