I listened to Bon Jovi (the first record) the other day and then to HAND. It's wild how far they've come in that time period. I honestly, look forward to every release because they never repeat themselves. And while Jon may not have the all out power in his voice that he had in the nineties, the man still has a very good voice. I was listening to the Feb 2006 AC show today and realized just how good his voice still is. Granted I think he got a little lazy with his voice when singing live during the Crush and Bounce tours but I think he's gone for some high parts again (In These Arms) that he completely dodged in the prior two tours. Even when he doesn't sing the songs perfectly, at least he's still making the attempt.

As far as their future direction for a record, who knows but I can't wait to hear it!!
