Bon Jovi is a great rock band, in my point of view the only bands which the midia gives it attention, and can be considered rock n roll, are Bon Jovi and Aerosmith. And another important thing is that Richie Sambora is a great guitar player, if he wasn't good, FENDER wouldn't have a Richie Sambora Fender Stratocaster. And Bon Jovi never tried to be a copy of Van Halen, Bon Jovi's sound is completely different of Eddie's van halen band. And for the ones who do not like bon jovi and tha bon jovi's sound isn't good, please listen to this song: Dry County. If a guy say tha this is it's a piece of ****, i can have absolutely sure that this guy knows nothing about music.

Cheers!
