People are acting like they were personally attacked.

The drama is a little much. I'd gladly take an entire album of Christmas songs. It's like the only way people will not complain these days is if Jon just quits and doesn't release anything.

That's a shame. I'm happy to have new material regardless.

I'm with you in this.

I never heard this song before. It sounds good to me anyway.

There's just Jon's pronunciation of "Christmas" in the middle of the song that makes me laugh every time I hear it. He does it with some British-Irish accent idk, he goes "crist-mahs".

If you don't know the earlier version and take this at face value it's not terrible.
But honestly...it doesn’t matter if you’re from the States, to be Christmas music cultured, you have to know and appreciate the original. If you haven’t heard it, find it, look into its story and history and DANCE the **** out of it this and every other Christmas you live 😎❤️

Preach! I only heard the song the first time maybe three years ago and it's absolutely one of my favs.

Faggots aside, it’s terrible.

Is John so up Jon’s arse and viceversa that they have no idea how terrible Jon sounds?
I don’t think Shanks was involved in these songs. It says on Spotify that they were produced by Jon.

They are absolutely awful. I genuinely have no idea what he is thinking.

I miss the days when Jon could make any cover song his own...

Correct. Watching Shanks get blamed for things he had nothing to do with is absurdly common for some reason. People refuse to admit this is the way Jon wants it.

Two sociopaths feeding off each-other. One says: ‘You’re a Guitar God John’ and an average rhythm guitar player gets to be lead guitarist in Bon Jovi; ‘You’re voice sounds fantastic Jon’ and a voiceless ex-rockstar politician wannabe still makes records and tours the world...and thinks ‘I’m going to ruin the best Christmas song made and expect people to love it‘

It’s not a joke, it’s Bon Jovi 2020 😰

Man that's....I guess a way of looking at it. It's just a lighthearted cover.

While I don't think that we should excuse everything with "it's just a bonus / cover / due to the pandemic" in the Jovi world, don't take this too serious.

This user likes to be mad I guess. First it was us, the fans, for not making the Stand Up Guys songs big smash hits and hence "forcing" Jon onto the path of rewriting his old music and singles time and time again.
Now it's Jon and Shanks. Someone's just gotta take the blame I guess
