No, but for different reasons.....

A 'new fan' for me is somebody who got into the band on Crush, Bounce (and maybe even TD) as these weren't typical Bon Jovi albums, these really mark a big change in the band, and the music on these three albums was different from classic Bon Jovi. Keep The Faith although a little bit different, was still deffinately a rock record, still held the Bon Jovi sound, so is still deffinately Bon Jovi. Thus if you got into them on that album, you got into them on the same sound that they had on the 8 years you missed, so you're still an old time fan!

I'd say TD was a little different, but still had some fantastic rock songs on them, and is deffinately the band. It's a great album, and you can hear the band's sound on it. I included it because it isn't as much of a rock album as Slippery, or Faith... but if you got into them on this album I'd still say you're an old fan.
