- They always play "greatest hits" sets - how many times do you want to hear those songs?
 - They play awful cover versions (Shout etc) when they could play Tokyo Road or other early/album tracks.
 - Jon now considers Bon Jovi to be a "business" and has said as much in recent interviews.
 - Jon cannot sing well live - he has this terrible nasal whine!
 - They haven't released a decent album since These Days (and yes, I have them all).
 - They have erased Alec John Such from history (checkout the photos on the recent 7800 remaster).
 - They won't release their videos (except for the dogs breakfast that is their greatest hits).
 - The "Lost Highway" album.
 - They keep putting out live B sides rather than unreleased songs
 - They keep re-issuing albums and all they put on them are (more) live tracks when there are still so many unreleased songs.
 - Jon still tries to be Springsteen but his lyrics are nowhere near. ("I am broken like an arrow", "what is the disctance between a bullet and a gun"....)!
 - They've not written a decent ballad since Bed Of Roses, and yet they keep releasing these mawkish offerings as singles.
 - Jon and Richie have "Hollywood smiles" and "Hollywood eyes" for that matter nowadays. Surgery? Surely not. Not that I really care but is botox classed as surgery?

 - They introduced me to Metal (no, seriously!).
 - They were the first band I became an obsessive collector of (B sides etc..).
 - They wrote so many good songs in the 80's that they gave away some songs to other bands - these songs were better songs than most bands could write themselves.
 - They hid away great songs on B sides.
 - They didn't even officially release some really good songs (you have to get the bootlegs).
 - They were brilliant live.
 - They released a string of great albums, more than most bands manage.
