The thing is, the bloke who wrote the review is 100% spot on!
Bon Jovi are not brilliant song writers etc. but when it comes to keeping an audience entertained for 2 1/2 hours, they're the best in the business.

It's always been cool to be a Jovi-hater, and probably for the reasons given when he compared to Aerosmith & KISS (drugs and sex). The problem is that, for many people, life is about drink, drugs and sex, and any band that promotes that is praised.

I advertised my tickets for 26th at work today. Needless to say, my boss said he'd take the tickets, but only if I paid him. Queue the comments about poodle rock etc. and then pointing out that 70% of my office are too young to know who Bon Jovi are! 2 mins later a girl in the office had bought them off me - no shame involved.

In comparison to the shit that people are writing in their reviews recently about setlists, by-the-numbers etc. this is a damn good review!
