He's talking about SWW turning 30 and how much Bon Jovi has always sucked and he doesn't understand why they are acclaimed now.
That was entertaining in its own way. I think the guy is full of sh!t on a couple of counts though.

Bon Jovi are not critically acclaimed. Over the past 10-15 years, the critics have realised that they will always have some sizable following and aren't just a fad. They've endured through four decades and, like the music or not, there is no point in slating it. However, none of their albums get much favourable comment and it never will.

I had to laugh when they pretended that they didn't know any Jovi songs beyond Prayer, Wanted and "that roses song". I call bullsh!t. Anyone who lived through the 80s knows Bad Medicine, Bad Name, Lay Your Hands on Me, Always and It's My Life at an absolute minimum. I know people who are indifferent towards Bon Jovi and people who hate them and they all know those songs. For this fella, a music journalist no less, to claim he doesn't is not believable. That fact that he could sing Runaway elsewhere in the rant just adds to my argument.

Anyway, nothing in here that we haven't heard before but worth a listen if you have a few minutes.
