Joe Elliot sounds fine, he sings like he's always sang. He's never been the vocalists vocalist, he's more of Brian Johnson -school of singing.

And Joey Tempest does a fine job, I can't see anything to complain. Sure, he's lost some of the highest notes, but nowhere near the amount Jon has lost. Plus, Europe is still an amazing live band. I've seen them live 4 or 5 times since the "comeback" and every time they've been great.

They're not nostaligia, sales and hits show it. Period.
Bon Jovi are a nostalgia band, they just don't want to admit it. There are no young people in the audience. No young people listen to Bon Jovi. The only ones buying their albums are their old fans. If that's not the definition of a nostalgia band, I don't know what is.
