Bon Jovi Unplugged

[OnlineStageGear]

Country music = $$$$$$

JBJ is laughing all the way to the bank.

Are you sure ? They were playing the hell out of that "It's My Life" song on the radio. I sure as hell don't hear any of his latest songs on any of the rock stations.

Perhaps I am in the minority here but I am sick of all things Bon Jovi. Yes, there are plenty of nice, catchy songs but there are also dozens of sappy ass ballads and....ugh. I have to stop talking about this guy, my blood pressure is rising.

The worst part? I am taking my daughter to see them in July during our vacation. I have tried to impress upon her how much I love her in order for me to agree to do this.

True, who else is still packing arenas and stadiums in the U.S. and abroad from that era. I'll agree that the music isn't the same but they definately still have a following.

"For the first time since 1988, Bon Jovi tops The Billboard 200. "Lost Highway" sold 288,000 in United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the rock troupe's biggest one-week sum since Nielsen began tracking sales data in 1991. The Island/Mercury Nashville set is Bon Jovi's third No. 1 album, joining 1988's "New Jersey" and 1987's "Slippery When Wet." Sales were fueled in part by the group's new country fanbase, wrangled in with the 2006 No. 1 Hot Country Songs hit "Who Says You Can't Go Home" featuring Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles."

I'm a Bon Jovi fan. I love everything from Slippery to Keep the Faith. These Days was pretty good too, allthough very different. The last couple of albums though I must say that the direction of the band is a bit unfocused. First there was Bounce, which was pretty heavy with detuned riffing (Richie was "going with Gibson") then there was Have a Nice Day, which was less soloing, more about lyrics and stories and lots of Tele-work from Richie. Now there's this new album, which I haven't heard yet. It's the first record of theirs I haven't immediately bought.
