No problems, Bon Jovi Rocks... (they do? well at least during the new jersey - these days era)[/quote]


Bon Jovi still rocks? Tough question…
These last 2 albums makes me think…until TD I’ve always seen an evolution in BJ music but with Crush and Bounce I think they’ve done some steps behind. I remember an interview at MTV when TD came out where Richie and Jon were explaining how the band reached his 100% with that record.. My thought was: “I really hope they’re wrong” not because I didn’t like TD ( IMO they’re best ever) but because I’m a Fan and a Fan has never enough!
Thinking about that sentence 9 years later I have to admit…”maybe they were right” and I use “maybe” because I’m an optimistic person.
My main fear is that Jon is a little annoyed by making music and its business and this doesn’t makes him write what I think he’s still able to write…great damn rock songs!
Come on.. take the ballads as example….Thank You For Loving Me and All About Loving You have been written by the same hand who wrote Bed Of Roses…Always…I’ll be There For You…Lie To Me.??!!??
IMO they’ve lost something in the songwriting but I’m not sure of what or why.
I think we could save 4/5 songs from the last 2 records and a little flame of hope has been turning on by Last Man Standing
I hope they won’t release nothing before they have something really great; quality over quantity.
