People sad similar things when the Scorpions headlined Wacken in 2006. "Washed up has-been pussy rockers". When they went on stage, 70 000 people sang along and it was an epic show.

Not saying this is similar - but every metal fan is a Bon Jovi fan deep down inside so I'm sure it will go down well!

On a different note - this is exactly what I was hoping Richie would do. Get together with another amazing guitar player and hit the festival circuit. Now that's just one 'possible' gig - but fingers crossed they're in Europe over the summer.
