But there was still that 'us against the world' thing going on with Bon Jovi in the 90s that made them so cool. I know that Jon is still incredibly hard working and do be still doing as well as they do in the current musical climate is down to his dedication but at the same time there seems to be that opinion in the JBJ camp that they own the right to be considered the greatest.

Totally agree...
Jon works hard at touring and puts on the best "safe" show he is capable of doing. He is afraid to go outside the box like he once did which shows the lack of passion. I think this is all due to the lack of confidence in his voice. This voice issue that he has is irreversible and the best thing he could do is preserve what he has left.
Jon wants to tour until he's 70 but knows that he will never get there vocally.
Everyone says he needs a vocal coach on tour but how do you all know there isn't? And what would a vocal coach teach him anyway, that he doesn't already know?
