Crazy Lixx's "Ruff Justice" was the best AOR/hair metal record since Crashdiet's debut. It sold worse than Burning Bridges.

-The Scorpions went on a farewell tour 10 years ago. They've since released a couple of new records. I can only imagine your reaction if BJ pulled this shit. And you're not seriously defending stuff like Eye 2 Eye?
-AC/DC have updated their sound. Right.
-Black Sabbath have updated their sound. Right. They also played zero new songs by the end of the last tour.
-Mötley Crüe haven't released a new studio album since 2008. They also pulled the faux farewell card, and Vince sounds about as good as JBJ nowadays.
-David Bowie died about 5 years ago. He had been on a ~10 year hiatus until shortly before.
-The Stones haven't updated their sound. Period. Their last record was a blues cover record, their last album of original material was released in 2005.
-Iron Maiden have sounded the same since the mid 90s. Which is fine.
Apparently the list is very much finite.

Why would you think that? Serious question. You just claim that. Why would young rock fans who grew up on Alter Bridge, Slipknot and Halestorm be awaiting the return of Bon Jovi to a rock sound?
