huh? if they're not the biggest they're one of the biggest bands in the world! (u2 are still out there)
remember that there aren't many rock bands these days that still make good rock music

i've heard jon say that all the time in interviews.
i guess its ok to brag and be a rock star a$$hole if thats ur job!
respect 2 him 4 doing it better than most others!

i think he claims to have BIGGEST cos of his sales and they're more than the rolling stones and probably more than Aerosmith's sales too.

that wud make BJ the biggest band in America only and second down to U2.

most BJ fans here dissing U2 doesnt really change the fact that U2 sold 115 million worldwide!

i'm not a u2 fan, actually i don't like them at all cause i find them very boring, but i think that they have released more albums than bon jovi so it's natural to have sold more.

It doesnīt matter. These Days sold 1 million in the USA (american market ) and itīs one of the best albums I have.
And Jon say Bon Jovi is the greatest band as Bono say the same about U2.

Zeppelin are the biggest band

also the biggest bootlegged band (BJ aren't in top 10 for that)

LZ were also only a band for 11 years which makes that even more remarkable

especially considering they refused to release singles also

who says you can't be artists for the music without giving yourself up to the singles market
