But that's the thing. I read interviews by various artists who've done millions of interviews over the year, and it doesn't have to be boring as long as you try to keep it interesting for yourself.

Maybe Jon thinks he's too good for interviews

In all seriousness, people probably don't bother interviewing him because they don't think it will sell magazines. The band just seems to have an 'uncool' status to many people and that probably won't change however many songs they write. Thats what I think puts magazines off.

Before the break in 1996, Bon Jovi were everywhere, in the UK at least.

Radio 1 (which only plays the coolest artists

) played them all the time and even broadcast the Wembley shows in 1995.

Q and Kerrang hardly had an issue without JBJ on the cover and the tabloids were pretty consistent in covering the band too.

Between 1996-2000 something happened, Bon Jovi got softer while Nu metal thrived. Bon Jovi are now banned from Radio 1 and only get mentioned in Kerrang as a passing insult.

So, JBJ can say what he likes but it's not his choice he's not in the magazines anymore.

Umm so how does your opinion really differ from Seb's in the first place?

hahaha you've all gone mad. I don't think Seb was necessarily saying that the mags dont care about JBJ, it seemed like he was offering up the suggestion. But even if he was saying they dont care about him, he's probably right!

i love the band and look out for everything i can find about them...it is pretty rare compared to what it used to be.

CANNOT WAIT TILL TICKETS R ON SALE as i had to give up my tickets to the last tour as it clashed dates with my gf's prom...(i am single now so no such ****ing mistake will happen this time!!)

Q have only had one issue with JBJ on the front cover and that was 1998, the band have been mentioned many times on tag lines but have only had the cover to themselves once!

The most interesting interviews are the ones where JB talks about the actual songs of a new album. In the TD era, I remember reading interviews where he sort of analyzed every single track of an album.

But I suppose this kind of talk doesn´t sell that much. The average magazine reader doesn´t care about the origin of a BJ album track.

Everyday - This one is about living your life!
Bounce - Erm, this one is about living your life too
Undivided - living your life is actually a theme we run with a lot!

ok. whatever...i really dont know what ellipses mean.in grammar,that is.and just point out what you think or see qualifies as bad grammar.just coz u wrote a moderately funny article a few days earlier[not surprisingly,it was filled with anti bj work by you] doesnt mean you can spit out more illogical crap..now go on and post some more humour about what i have written here,maniac.if you get time reading your wren and martin's english for nerds that is.
