At the end of the day, throughout most of the 80s and 90s and 00s the ‘band’ was all about JBJ. He was the poster boy. He sold the records. It wasn’t about the guitarist, bassist or drummer. Bon Jovi was essentially Jon to most of the mainstream music buying people.

It still is... whoever is playing guitar, whoever is playing bass... doesn’t really matter at all. It has always been a focal point for the guy at the front.

With rock bands, always has been the same. Guns N Roses... Axl Rose... Aerosmith... Steven Tyler... Poison... Brett Michaels... It’s always been about the guy at the front. That’s who gets the attention, and for the most part, JBJ has got that.

I went to see them at Coventry last year, yeah... it wasn’t the Jon I saw in 2003, or the one at Kentish Town Forum in 1998ish, but the 30,000 people came out having an amazing night and enjoyed every bar and every song.

Am I looking forward to the next album. **** yeah... JBJs music has been pretty much the soundtrack through my life. From These Days onwards. I can’t wait...THINFS... let’s see what’s next...
