Green Day had new music in 2004, 2009, 2012 and 2016.
Metallica: 2003, 2008, 2016
Bon Jovi: 2002, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016.

I didn't say quality is the issue. It's the frequency of releases. And when they are as frequent, they receive less and less attention; thus contributing to the reputation of being mediocre. Jon is too productive for his own good.
