Bon Jovi's arrival signals birth of "Hair Metal."

I was watching this last night and it is interesting to hear what other "metal" bands had to say about the band. One person from Anthrax I think, said that BJ gave a pretty face (flash to picture of Richie and Jon) to hair metal music. Another commented on how they made it more pop. The final person, I can't remember who, commented on how BJ turned hair metal mainstream. That comment made me chuckle, as some people think that BJ have been trying to turn mainstream over the past few years, when in fact it is something that they have been doing throughout their entire career. Anyway, the final compliment came from a few members of Tesla who credited BJ with being able to maintain their popularity throughout the years. It is an interesting show on VH-1 if anyone gets the chance to watch.
