I believe Bon Jovi can do whatever they want to do, but it's all about what
THEY think, their RECORD COMPANY thinks, the PRODUCERS think !!!
If Jon doesn't want a song on the album, it's not there!!
And I believe that Jon & Co has lost the feel for the "no-credibillity"
song-writing (meaning hits)!!!

When a band cares about the reviews, they're pretty much
loosing it, exept for bands like REM or U2 who is a critics band.
Paul Stanley (KISS) once said :My house is built on bad reviews and YOU
should see MY house!!!!

Bon Jovi has never been a critics-band and that may be a another achievement Jon is "trying" to embrace .....

And just like KISS ; it's like they think that the heavier sound you have, the younger you'll seem to the public !!! Sad ..... and not true !!!

They should get rid of these young songwriters they've been collaborating with....
Just because N'sync, Britney etc... had a hit with songs they've written doesn't mean that a Rock-band will .....
You can hear the similarites in the chorus of "Everyday" next to "Bye,Bye" (N'sync) ... same songwriter ....

They should hook up with Desmond Child and go back a couple of years
and realize that the 80's is on it's way back (big-time) and they were
the biggest thing in the eighties since slice bread !!!!!

They did it then and I believe in my heart that they can do it again!!!!!
They're the BEST!!!!!!
