Default Is Bon Jovi already a "nostalgia act" ?

Jon goes on and on that once they become a nostalgia act, he's finished. I personally think they already are and have been for a long, long time. Vast majority of casual fans come to hear Living On a Prayer and Wanted, they have little or no knowledge of the new material. I noticed that all the radio adverts over here for the new tour, feature only the old songs in order to get people interested.

I have no problem with them being a nostalgia band, because its the older material that makes me go to the concerts. I love seeing bands like Journey and Foreigner, who bring their A game and play those songs I love. Its not that I don't want to hear new material but I feel the band shouldn't be under any illusions about why they're selling out arenas all over the world still.
