What keeps me hanging on mainly is hope. I know that Jon and Co have the ability to write another unforgetable song or 2, and I just hope that one day, they will, and release it, and it will kick the butt of everything else out there. Then there's the live shows- I haven't been to that many concerts, but there is defnately something special about a Jovi show. I first saw them on The Bounce tour, and although Jon's voice was pretty bad then, the atmosphere was amazing, and then when I saw the band again on the HAND tour, they just blew me away and they have done every time I've seen them since.

Then there's the fact that I've been listening to the band since I was born. Pretty much every single memory of my childhood involves a Jovi song playing in the background. And as I've gotten older, the songs have helped me through some pretty touch times, I've made friends through the band and made new memories with the band and their music. And what I think is quite a big factor in why I'm still interested in the band is the fact that even though things have changed - I'm not a 4 year-old-kid any more, or a 15-year-old anorexic girl, or a stressed-out friendless 16-year-old any more- I can still relate to the songs and they still mean something to me when other music that I listened to at those point in time is irrelevant and ignored by me now.

Also, I guess I'd have to say that the buzz and run-up to a new album release is pretty awesome. I'm not a huge lover of the new single, but still, I can't wait to hear what the new album has to offer. And that is why I am still obsessed with the band
