I had no clue about that either but that would explain the review. I was wondering why it was so negative. Actually - most of the article was complimentary except for this paragraph
"In the face of such enthusiasm, it feels a tad unsporting to point out that Bon Jovi's whole career is built on hoary clichés. But the truth is, from "Runaway" to "Wanted Dead or Alive" to "Keep the Faith" to "It's My Life," there's scarcely a single original idea to be found, either musically or lyrically.
Still, clichés are clichés for a reason, and Bon Jovi serves them up with no apology. Indeed, the band revels in its shtick. "
