That's an interesting point but I don't know how much I'd agree with you. Sebastian Bach has always put on a great front, he's still a top showman, he doesn't seem to let it show if he is unhappy. Axl Rose? Hell knows what's happing in his little bubble.

Jon has always been a driven businessman, clearly much more so than any of that 80s crowd. To make his 'business' work he needed to distance his band from that crowd to ensure Bon Jovi survived the 90s and even 2000s. His business must be what makes him happy and it has generally worked out for him.

I don't know what makes Axl Rose and Sebastian Bach tick. I haven't really been interested in anything they've done since the early 90s, maybe that just goes to show the amount of work Jon had to put in to ensure Bon Jovi survived that alt-rock onslaught.
