Jon should be braver in this sense, and let the guitars speak, try to make a real rock album, with more energy, riffs, extended solos and less pop.

He don't have to do SWW again. He just has to make an album with more guitars and great riffs, he can continue talking about political issues or what he reads in the newspaper perfectly.

Bon Jovi needs an inflection point now that Sambora is not there, and I think it would be great if they recovered some of that energy and power. THINFS is not so different from what was done previously.

Come on Jon, if you read this, use phil, make an album with more rock sound, driven by guitars and powerful riffs.
Foo Fighters aren't really all that successful in album sales in North America. I guess it depends what you call "success". They get tons of radio play but as far as albums/units sold. Live they're another story and that's kind of what Bon Jovi is, minus the radio play.
