The biggest difference is that era had power and passion behind it. You felt like they meant it.

FWIW, since Shanks joined there have been quite a few heavy synth, big drum sounding songs that evoke their old sound but it's not something people have cared about.
Yea, my thoughts exactly Matt. It can't be truly retro without sounding dated in my opinion.

I finally get a around to watching this and really enjoyed it. I had put it off because of the reactions here. I find nothing to complain about.

It's just a boring song for a big rock band... and yeah, it's lyrically fitting but still a snooze-fest for a bunch of non fans...Other than that , the perform was fine...

To be honest I wouldn't care for one bit what the hell the band played if one of the biggest bands in the world came to play at my graduation. Maybe just here in Sweden we're not used to having acts like Bon Jovi showing up at our graduations...
