I think your points are completely ridiculous. Bon Jovi isn't trying to be anything other than what they want to be. The fascination with album sales dumbfounds me. Who cares in this day and age about album sales? Ever heard the expression Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

The album is doing just fine. It's not gonna sell 30 million copies like Slippery or New Jersey. It will go platinum in the US as well as plenty of other countries. They WILL pass the 100 million mark on this albim and every show on the tour (at least in the US) is sold out.

Give the guys a break already. Jesus, after 20 years with the success they've had, you'd think people would lighten up a bit.
