This topic had been discussed many many times before so I won't bother going into it again, but one thing..

I've seen Train numerous times in the US and in Singapore and the crowds at those concerts didn't suck. Is it just a Bon Jovi thing? If so, why?

In some ways it might actually be Bon Jovi thing, or at least an issue with an artist with a similar fanbase such as one Bon Jovi have (a large casual one, only after the hits and a night out).
A band like Iron Maiden, who very rarely bother with singles, chart placements etc, can play multiple new tracks or obscure album tracks live and the rabid fanbase will lap it up. A fanbase like that consists of more diehard fans.
A rock/pop orientated singles band such as Bon Jovi with a lot of simple, catchy and generic songs will also tend to attract similar 'fans', and these type of fans will vastly outnumber the diehard fans..which is the case in some territories that the band play.
I do not want to go into nationality and which countries have better crowds and why etc, as that's been done before and never ends well on here...
