But really, how hard is it for this band to come up with something?

If I remember well you play (or played?) in a band. Surely you ought to know it's really not that hard to play a song?

We're not talking about Pink Floyd or a prog rock band with tempo changes, alternate tunings etc. We're talking about a band who appearantly according to some over here can't play a pop song and need to resort to miming to a backing track.

It's as if people who have come to accept this mediocre attempt at promoting a song think it's actually difficult to do this. It isn't. But it takes effort, and Bon Jovi haven't put any effort into promoting an album in well over a decade now. They've had a chance to go out and promote a song for a rather large audience and they phone it in while there's bands out there on youTube with not even 10% of the audience that watches Bon Jovi and yet do better performances.

There just aren't any excuses for this. And yet people feel the need to make them just so they can justify another low for this band.

Salaam Aleikum,

Come on... I don't think Jon thinks like that at all. He's not going to half ass one of his new songs on purpose. He's a professional in every way. That's just ridiculous.

It seems every time the album is talked about in an article it's being called "Bon Jovi 2020." Even listed on iTunes like that.

Think this can sum it up but then maybe they will plan something else. Just watched one of my other favourite world bands, Powderfinger from Australia, do a one night only live gig for charities which sounded fantastic. Each from their own houses/studios, reunion gig of sorts having broken up many years ago. So it can be done if there is willing!
