Bon Jovi? You mean the girls from NJ who made metal pretty?</p>
I don't want to hijack this thread... too much anyway, but, ... they were discussing this on Eddie Trunk live (Boneyard XM 41) a few Mondays ago about how Jon & buddies as well as Def Leppard are largely responsible for the "Hair metal" scene yetwant nothing to do with it now. </p>
How else do you explain JBJ doing some country sounding stuff & DL going on tour w/ Styx etc...?</p>

Well that's essentially what you did.</p>
How do I explain Bon Jovi doing Country? There's plenty of people in music that switch styles and genres and are successful at. David Bowie made a career out of it, going from glam rock, to soul/R&B to German rock, to pop, back to rock, back to soul, hard rock, etc. A more recent example is Justin Timberlake has abandoned his teen pop image in favor of a more adult, sophisticated look.</p>
I could think of a number of "musical" acts that deserve more crap than Bon Jovi.</p>
