Jon has all but admitted that the last few releases have been a Jon Bon Jovi & Shanks collaboration. There have been some gems on those ventures too but the return to a band production, to whatever degree that may be, has borne fruit. Some of the glory is still there to be tapped into :) |

It's better to compare Jovi against other veteran bands (active for 20+ years) and their recent lead singles: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities - 48,2 m Blink 182 - Bored To Death 33,2 m Green Day - Bang Bang - 8,1 m Metallica - Hardwired - 7,9 m So yeah, they're pretty screwed at this point. That's paying the price for 15 years of market over-saturation. |

Green day was the same day. Not sure on the others.
It's not quality that's the issue, it's just about getting picked up on a Spotify playlist or radio/tv. Green day seem a few years younger than Jovi, they are at hand/lh stage of their career I would say |

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. |

THINFS isn't difficult for Jon to sing, due to him writing around his voice like you said. The classics he will always struggle with, you just have to wish for the best when he performs these. But Jon can sing/write good songs just look at THINFS Album. It's highly unlikely Jon will have Vocal surgery, unless he really wants to, but why? THINFS is what fans should judge Jon on now carrying on, not the past. If Jon can produce a HAND, TC, and THINFS type of songs in the future I will be happy, it's the best we are ever going to get from him. Also as your get older you don't write the songs you did in your 20's or early 30's. Like Jon has said it would be stupid to rewrite or do something similar to livin' on a prayer at his age. Even if he did have that voice, I doubt he would have written a song like that today, but we will never know. |
