Some of it is true. But to be fair, certainly Bon Jovi aren't the only ones guilty of this. I've never understood why artists have to say the same thing night in and night out. When that happens, it seems fake. LIke every time the crowd sings the intro to Prayer, Jon's little "It doesn't get any better than that." And maybe I've just been at the right gigs, but the last dozen or so shows I've seen Jon always says "I've been waiting for this one." Now the whole jukebox bit with Bobby. I mean, it's cool and all, but use some creativity.

You've got critics who are gonna bash anything the band does. Then you've got critics who have seen bands (maybe not as good technically live), like Pearl Jam or Oasis, who don't say the exact same thing every night, and look at Jon and think "What a phoney." I mean, can you blame them?
