I think Penrose makes some good points. I disagree however that Bounce does not have mature songwriting- I think there are songs on there that do such as Joey, RSOW, Hook Me Up, You had me from Hello, Love me back to life. I think Bounce is up there with These Days- but it also has songs with more commercial potential and also harder rockers. But where I do agree is that they should not worry so much about the charts- they are a legendary band like the Stones and Aerosmith who will always sell out on the road. But hey, the teens became fans with It's My Life and what is wrong with catering to that market too? How many classic rock bands also get airplay, even if it is too limited for our tastes, on Top 40 radio? Bon Jovi wants us all- older fans and the next generation and there is nothing wrong with that. But should the chart appeal fade I do agree they will continue to be a sought after concert experience like the Stones. Good first post!
