Why do so many on R&P dislike Bon Jovi?

Question

Yeah Josh, this question was actually inspired by yours seeing all the negative answers.

Answer 1

POPISH

Answer 2

i dont mind them, but i dont LOVE them either.

Answer 3

I love bon jovi, they are not on my top4 list but for someone to say they are unoriginal is just stupid !!! The lead singer can`t sing real good but he can sing Good enough

the early Bon jovi music was kinda cool i like a lot of their songs. I can sure tell you of one band that i would call unoriginal and it`s not Bon Jovi.

Answer 4

Hey..I like them.

Answer 5

I don't know. Maybe because some people don't like that a band has a lot of success and continue selling many records after a certain period of time. But, Bon Jovi has a lot of fans, and I don't think at this point, they really care about what some people say. They have the most sold tour, their new album was number on the billboard chart. Maybe R&P must care about other things, because Bon Jovi right now are icons of music and culture, and their legacy will be there for a looooooooong period of time.

No, as happens with other bands, that are the most popular artists and then nobody remembers them.

Answer 6

I never felt like his music had any depth or true feel. Such polished commercial po.

But i gained respect for Bon Jovi when i heard him play"Hallileuah" by Tim Buckley!

Answer 7

Yeah

I love Bon Jovi.

Answer 8

I guess it's just personal music taste.

I like their earlier stuff, now they seem a bit more countryish.

Answer 9

I just find them extremely dull with mediocre musician skills

Answer 10

I have been a fan for many many years, to say his music is un-original is naive, name another band that sounds the same.  They have some of the greatest selling songs and albums of all time. Each to their own I guess...

Answer 11

personally, i like bon jovi, even a limited amount of their newer stuff, but i can see why people dislike them...many of their songs sound the same and revolve around the same themes, and the persona they took on especially in their early days of playing to the chicks and all that turns a lot of people away from their actual music...and frankly, when you look at all of the work on all of their albums, the only truly great one is slippery when wet

and yes, bon jovi absolutely is hair metal...what else would you like to classify them as?

Answer 12

I'm not to familiar with the music.

Answer 13

Their music is unoriginal. I have no interest in it.

Answer 14

I don't disrespect them as musicians.  I just dislike the guy's voice.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Answer 15

their music doesn't appeal to me.

Answer 16

I can't say I am the biggest fan but I did get to see him in concert this year and he put on a show. He definitely has his die-heard fans. His songs are just too similar too one another and there is too much emphasis on lyrics and not the music.

Answer 17

they're ok...nice avatar

Answer 18

That was just a question of mine, I think you answered it http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...  BQ #1

but yeah i don't know, it seems like since he crossed over to country music and gained a ton of fangirls, he became a very easy taget.

I like his music.

EDIT: Thought so. haha. But I really wanted to know, so I'm glad you asked again

Answer 19

Too country to me.

Answer 20

Hair Metal =  Epic Fail
