The internet has a lot to answer for, before when you were waiting for an album by your favourite band you heard nothing untill it was released and enjoyed it when it was, it does'nt really matter if you don't like all the songs, on a Jovi album there is always something for everyone, and i think the new single is truely fantastic, all these people ripping it apart, if you don't like it fine, but leave it at that, stop getting nasty about things, its just music. Bon Jovi are amazing really when you consider how they constantly come back fresh, that must be so hard to stay relevant, theres not many bands out there that can do that, i get so annoyed at the lack of recognition this band gets when you consider bands like U2 that come out with an album that sounds like the Kaiser Chiefs having a massive car crash.

Its a shame really that quite a few people on here feel this way........

By overanalysing some of the anthems that they wrote just for their listeners to feel good ruins the magic. Sure, theres some similarities between songs like IML and HAND but they're still good songs.

If this single had been released in 1999 before I'd been on the internet, I wouldn't have questioned the songs flaws. I may not have even gave a thought about why there was no guitar solo. And I'd have gone on my merry way just enjoying the song for what it was, probably not even comparing it to the other Jovi stuff, just as something new from the band I love.

So I guess my thoughts are - is analysing each track in every minute detail actually spoiling what the music is or should be? Are we guilty, in our own different ways, of destroying the thing for us that brought us here in the first place?
