Speaking of their peak, I was going through some of my archives today and stumbled upon their WAN promo... I decided that Amen on Katie Couric might be the single worst performance ever!

Sounded good to me. And it wasn't lip syncing like TV shows are know for.

I'm a pretty devoted fan of Bon Jovi songs, I believe I can count in my two hands the songs that I don't like of all albums and b-sides and stuff, but I HATE, H-A-T-E, this song, Amen is the worst thing they ever wrote, they ever recorded, To The Fire is a masterpiece compared to this huge piece of shit to me hahha

I believe that Jon regrets almost everything he did around 2012 and 2013, everything just went to shit at that time, his team, his album, his band, his voice... That was a huge backfire

Indeed. His biggest blessing (work ethic and determination) is also his curse - he just didn't know how to take his foot of the gas when it was needed.

Besides the song being pretty much the shittiest thing this band has ever done, there have been numerous performances since mid-2013 that I consider much worse. If you're only talking about single promo appearances I might agree with you though.

It'll never be popular to say out loud but man I love Amen.

I can only notice that the reviews they got for their MSG shows and the Toronto Shows are really good. I am talking about reviews in magazines and websites by journalists. That's pretty impressive to me since it has been much different in the past where they never got 4 / 5 star reviews, even when they had played killer shows.

I'm not a fan of Amen, but it's not even close to being the worst thing even on WAN when you have the lyrical genius of Army Of One on there.

WAN will be the album/tour that broke up Bon Jovi. I'm sure the news of WAN being written/toured was announced just before the Richie Shepherd's Bush gig of 2012. I'm sure I have recollections of us there talking about it and how it was a pisser to Richie whose tour was just getting going. The resentment would have started then and we all know how it ended up.

I can't remember a bad Toronto review
