Why do you think it's okay to talk to people this way?

I agree that the choice of words in responses can be better utilized with more cognizant thinking yet as of late,
some of the opinions on this board have been so outlandish and misinformed frankly I completely understand the frustration. I certainly support objective opinions but I find some of the views to be on the cusp of comedy.

As usual you did not read what I was writing...but I forgive you :)

Jon is a contender for what? SUrely not for a great singer and frontman anymore. I applause his charity work though. Maybe he should put even more effort in that. Musically he is done. THINFS and those performances lateley prove that immensely

I don't usually get in this dumb discussions but you're right here. A band that's still doing number one albums and number one tours worldwide can't be ruining their legacy. This is just a "I DON'T LIKE NEW BON JOVI NEW BON JOVI SUCK" act IMO. No new album will erase the old ones so you can either enjoy them or just ignore them.

It is all about quality not numbers. Even RD says Jons voice is shot. Jon even sings it in one of the new songs. Sure the record is a matter of taste but you cannot say they are still top notch performers when the voice is shot and the singer is glued in front of the mic 90% of the show.

His music for the past 15 years sucks, including The Rising... It doesn't compare to The River or Born To Run... So there you go... You just have a hard on for him.

Look, I know Rouge One won't be as good as the original trilogy going into this movie. It's impossible for anything to touch those movies... I will enjoy the movie as a standalone film and just hope it could match my expectations... There are always those annoying fans who just live in the past and see everything as black or white... There is no grey... You are that dude...

The Rising ain't no BTR but it surely holds a candle to his older stuff. And he did not sell out and is doing a COldplay imitation just like BJ does. It is believable. Put WAN or THINFS beside the first 5 records. The dropping in quality is shameful. Don't live in denial. All you guys say "yes they are mediocre now but I can live with it". Why should I lower my standards and accept the current sad state of a "Band" - just because they were great 20 years ago???? ? I heard someone sing "farewell to mediocrity"......

Have always said TAALS was a terrible first single. It's another bland ballad. They still haven't wrote a real decent one since Always. 21 years ago.

TAALS is a great ballad - bluesy with an edge. Surely not one of this "BJ by numbers" stuff.

Bruce has released 3 albums of new material in 11 years, so you're wrong. I wouldn't call them "the same shit either" but that's your wonderfully informed and utterly intelligent opinion and I'll let you have that.

YOu took the words right out of my mouth ;)

So, the almighty Bruce (i love him, dont get me wrong lol), the outstanding Metallica, etc... they can rev their engines, they can spin their wheels, when the smoke has cleared BJ will drive me home.... xD

Too bad that instead of a Ferrari you will be driven home in a wheelchair :(

You ignored me last time. So I'll ask again - why are you here? If they're done with music, why sign up and post 120+ times in less than a week? The majority of which are criticising and, more significantly, taking pot-shots at Jon and the band?

Simply because refusing to lower standards and accept reality while still actively following the band in forums and whatnot results in being a miserable whiner and one with no better use for its time and energy.

An analogy that comes to my head is a woman who complains about her husband being abusive while he's still her husband. Accept the new reality or move on.
