That's some serious correlation there. I finally found an answer to why Bon Jovi still has never played in Russia (except for Moscow Peace Festival, but that was still in crumbling Soviet Union), despite pretty much every other big artist having had a show there

I think much like Super Bowl Half Time, this ship has also sailed. Which is ironic, considering Jon's past stance on Glasto, at least back then he was still somewhat capable of doing it.



No, it wouldn't, it was still bad. The diehards were impressed at the time because their standards have lowered so much from following every show on YouTube. Show the pro-shot version to any other person with ears and they would tell you it sounds horrible.

Plus, it's not like Jon has an 'on/off switch' to reach another gear; otherwise, the HOF performance would not have been as horrible as that was his most important performance in years.

I am fan of Whitesnake and Coverdales voice is in much worse state than Jons but I still enjoy in their show-its called getting older and time passing.

But the rest is pretty much ignorance. Bon Jovi are not even close to how great they sounded the first two decades.
And there are plenty of acts who've held up way better. Just saw the Scorpions and they are still excellent (including Klaus Meine's vocals).
