Its easy to see why they tend to keep the majority of the crowd happy even though the diehards miss out. They do need to do something with IML though, (maybe a slow TLFR type intro??)) it gets slower everytime even though like I say it always goes down well.

If other bands can do it, Bon Jovi can. I Want To Be Loved sounds crap anyway, and Radio would get a much better reception if the chorus would be in the right key.
Sleep gets a good reception, yet it wasn't a big hit. Crash, the one without the fancy stuff in his nick, gets a good reception while it wasn't a single at all. The same for Raise Your Hands. Dry County got a very good reception in Dusseldorf as well. And there's a difference between a crowd not cheering because they're bored, or a crowd not cheering because they're actually listening to a song. So it is possible, they'll just have to perform the **** out of them.
What songs American cheer to don't make sense. Americans cheer to anything as long as long as it was a big hit or it doesn't last longer than 3 minutes so they can take another pee.
