I hate the song, and it makes it even worse that it's a show ender (despite the encores that follow). You go to a Bon Jovi concert, hear lots of Bon Jovi, and just as you're about to leave for home, this rubbish surfaces.
They've totally lost the element of suprise. When you hear Bad Medicine, you know Shout is just around the corner. I prefer not to know what's coming next, and then celebrate in gleeful exuberence when one of my favorite songs pops up out of nowhere. I can't say the same for Shout. Ban Shout. Condem it to the fires of Hades (well, perhaps that's taking it a bit too far).
Quick Recap: No more Shout.
