Because this would be the beginning of a worse demise for the band than releasing something a bit current sounding that's a bit fun and catchy. And what the hell are you talking about referencing a die hard in the same light, as glorifying 7800 Degrees. The album is by FAR the worst the band has ever released. That's why they don't play anything off that album and Jon has admitted this on numerous occasions.
I just think you are a total arrogant asshole for this post and you've made yourself look like one of those idiotic trolls on here & I had more respect for you than that. Everyone is a Bon Jovi fan for their own reason, everyone gets something different out of the back catalogue for their own personal reason.
You don't like the song - I get it. But don't chastise the people that do - and accuse them of (in so many words) not being true/real Bon Jovi fans.

I do love how you call him out on asking for Bon Jovi to sound like Bon Jovi... no one really wants them to re-make Slippery (okay, maybe some do) but let's stop pretending they are not chasing fads... they are. They're just not chasing the one's they helped create anymore.
This next comment is a general one...
I have seen a lot of people calling this 'classic Jovi' - is it really? This is as much an example of 'recent Jovi' as I have ever heard.
The usual 'pick yourself up, look in the mirror, we can do it!' lyric, over weak, plinky guitar work and shiny, bright, frankly shocking production values. Before anyone says Prayer had a similar lyrical theme, please... totally different league of writing. A Motown bassline, rolling out a talkbox for the first time since the 70s and a whopping double-chorus... these songs are poles apart.
One of them IS classic Jovi... it's not the one with the lyric about being a fart in a lift, or whatever it is.
But then I freely admit, this is just my opinion and my taste. If you love it, power to ya...
