Mrs. Pepper:
I'm allergic to Bon Jovi. Sorry, I just really am.
I, too, share this allergy to cheese.
Its also a complete misconception that they are a cheesy band.

As a Christian-rock survivor, I beg to differ:
Granted, their hit "Bad Medicine" is one of my guilty-pleasures -- and I definitely agree with their politics -- but I can't subscribe to their saccharine brand of rock music. -

I think they suffer because their big hits are relatively 'cheesy'.

You are very much correct about Have A Nice Day; they raised the bar with that one.

I think this Bon Jovi discussion parallels some of the discussions we have about Paul with non-Paul fans who only go by his stuff on the radio. I'm not a big Bon Jovi fan but I followed his music. I remember when he was a hair rocker in the 80s with Runaway way way way before it became well known. I remember Living on a Prayer and when he asked his fans to send in their footage to make a video. (that's on a video where I taped a bunch of George stuff). but now? I see a mature man who still seems to have got it and has grown well. He comes off as an entertaining personality lately, I'll give him that. Since I haven't bought any of his albums in years, I can't really judge his music lately.

Can't argue with that at all.

i find the moment in 'love you make' mccartney docu/film where the great man walks by bon jovis 'richie samboa' "how you been"....thrusted the bon jovi guitarist as he passed the mccartney entourage in a corridor backstage trying to instigate a fellow 'rock legend' chit chat. to which mccartney kind of politely brushed him off like a typical apple polisher.
although to be fair paul did go on to almost have sex with elton john in the same corridor almost seconds later
best moment in the film apart from watching billy joel gushing all over paul quite embarrasingly.
-
What? I saw Elton and Paul kiss in that video but I thought it was on stage (and yes, it was the films best moment next to Bowie's opening singing Paul Simon)

True that. I'm not even a fan. I mean I like that album and a few of there classics but wouldn't call myself a fan but do listen out to their new stuff. Their ok. My mate is a Bon Jovi fan like I am a Paul fan so I have to put up with that.

Bon Jovi did a 3 hour show here in 2010
Bon Jovi rocks too! He's in the league of Paul, I'd say. Class act entertainer and always puts on an energetic show. He's not really mainstream anymore either, so I don't classify him with the "young, modern" performers of today. For the most part, those performers just plain stink. Lol
I think it's the only rock band to come out of the 80s to still fill stadiums over the world.
U2 is up there as well.
I don't consider U2 a rock band, sorry.

No Javilu, they are a rock band....just a really, really, really ,bad one.

I'm gonna jump on the Bon Jovi bandwagon, been a fan a some years now, was lucky enough to see them at the first O2 arena gig in 2007, in 2008 and twice in 2010. They never play the same show twice, and they have a great back catalogue, Its my Life, Livin on Prayer, Keep the Faith, Have a nice day. They may not be everyone's cup of tea but the music industry would be poorer without them

Oh, ok. I'll let the rest of the world know you decided U2 are not a rock band. And also that you decided the Mona Lisa is not a painting.

no real food for thought their at all. strictly depends on how many shows you are gonna do to make up a 'tour'. its actually very very missleading ......macca down in 34th place with his 'driving' tour....some acts do 200 shows in a tour,some acts do about 30/50 shows in a tour. they simply cannot be compared.

Yeah, but it counts for something. U@'s 360 tour is the highest grossing tour. By any standard. But I did not post that to argue. Merely as something to think about. If another chart that shows a more "real" reflection on the biggest tours exists, I would love to see it.

My absolutely favorite U2 performance -- Bono sang his ass off, and the band is in a zone! Rock just doesn't get any BIGGER than this:
(this is how I imagine a Fireman concert would go...in my wildest dreams, of course)
