    He played Summerfest the other nite and I heard it was a great great show. He puts on a good show it seems.

    They get so much press because they promote the crap out of themselves. He was on Ellen (The Ellen Degeneres show) TWICE in one week!? I guess at this point they've really learned how to tap into their "middle age women who have no taste in music" target audience More power to em, their making lots of money doing what is their passion. Wish we could all be so lucky.. Not my kinda music (booooring) but it looks like they're still having fun while making people with mediocre music taste happy!

    Damn you Bon Jovi! You made it to #1, somehow beating the White Stripes! How?!? If only you never existed, my beloved stripes would be #1! Damn you to hell, you gorgeous evil man!

    Because they are this thing: a good band.

    I was fine with their Live Earth performance for one reason, and one reason only---they didn't play that God awful "Have A Nice Day" or "Wanna Make a Memory" song.

    I die a little everytime I hear that new single.

    Oh. I would have expected something more like "He is a good singer". Doesn't the name "Bon Jovi" refer to one person?

    Nay. Jon Bon Jovi is the singer. "Bon Jovi" is Jon, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres.

    don't be jealous just because they have more of a following than pearl jam. 20+ years and they can still sell platinum albums and pack venues around the world. get used to it, they aren't going away.

    The guy knows how to make hit records. Slippery When Wet was damn near as big as Thriller. It's like an earlier poster said, he knows who his core audience is and how to continue to make music they enjoy. Just like some of those ridiculous country acts.

    Why the F*** does Bon Jovi get so much $Press?

    Because some of the people who listened to him when he was huge (about 20 years ago) were in their teens then, and now in their 30's to 40's, and are in the workforce and have some control over who and what gets press I guess. Plus a lot of people think he's pretty (not really my taste).

    I have to admit it... They write some damn good pop tunes.
