Please don't mention RHCP in the same breath as Tool. They are the ultimate style over substance band who keep releasing the same 2 songs over and over again. I accept your point about Bon Jovi although they are a far better band than either Aerosmith or certainly the dumbass Motley Crue. Bon Jovi are not great innovators nor will their music change the world but they are the first band I really got obsessed with when I was about 10 and for whatever reason they have remained my favourite band. There's no rhyme or reason to it and their output since 1995 has been mostly mediocre but they'll always be my favourite band.
Tool are truly awesome, an incredible band and while I own all 3 Mars Volta albums I'm still struggling with them a bit. People buy RHCP for the fashion though, for the clothes and the look, don't try and tell me they're a great band. They just aren't!
