But yes, they're really small here. On the other hand, you say "Bon Jovi" and everyone knows about them, doesn't matter the age or kind of music they hear. Another point against the people that say Bon Jovi is dead, can't stay relevant and nobody gives a **** about them. Most of the bands of their time had been forgotten.

I know, Bon Jovi is well known in Argentina. I think the 90's were huge for the band here, a lot of people I know in their late twenties and early thirties know Bon Jovi songs well (Keep the Faith, These Days, and Cross Road) even if they do not actually like them.
They get mainstream press here too, like when they were on TRECE a couple weeks back, sure they do that for all the big acts, but only the really big ones. If they come here, which I still doubt, this year that it will be a big gig again, although I am interested to see where. Velez Sarsfiled is holding more gigs recently, like Elton John and that AXEL? guy, so I hope it is there as I am only five blocks away.
