Does anyone else feel that Bon Jovi have become much more a "chick band" since 2000? I've been a fan since 1994 and I can't get over the feeling that they have changed their image dramatically. Maybe it's me but I really see a difference between 1983-1996 and 2000-present. They changed their style during the first period but remained a rock band but now I have the feeling they decided to start taking advantage of their looks more. It's hard to put into words. Basically what I'm saying is that I don't see them as a rock band anymore but rather a band for girls. The singles they put out are more pop than rock. The last album is heavily polluted with ballads.

Maybe the change in how I perceive the band has a lot to do with how Jon looks. He looks like a Barby doesn't he? Peroxide hair and all and cashing in on his looks. He used to be less flashy in the old days. You may not agree but I think looks have become more important than music in the Bon Jovi camp and I don't like it. Maybe it's just me but I'd love to hear if anyone else feels the same.
