Weakest argument ever.
What if I was to take a really shitty Zeppelin song something off in through the out door, or a crappy Queen song some deep cut from from the late 80s and compare that with These Days or Keep the faith ( the songs) ????
The fact is Jovis best is better than Queen and Zeppelins worst, its on par with their good stuff. Whether or not the scale the same heights as the other two in their good stuff is debatable but you could build a good argument to say they come close. That's not to be scoffed at.
You can tip the scales as much as you want, but the phrase used earlier in the thread was "all-time great song." By that standard, I'm gonna compare it to the BEST of Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones, Queen, etc. and it's a tough deal for any 80's rock band to come close to those legendary songs from the 60's and 70's. That was the golden era for rock music.
You're comparing Bon Jovi's worst to Zeppelin and Queens best when you compare Living on a prayer.
Why not compare bon jovi's best to Queen and Zeppelins best? These days, keep the faith, something to believe in hey god You give love a bad name Wanted, Happy Now. Those are the cream of the crop. It's only fair that they would be the songs used for comparson
I don't think the time period has anything to do with the actual music.

Bon Jovi are beyond worthy. Musically speaking their output has been stellar.
When the do Bubblegum rock, They do it perfectly well:
When they do Arena rock they do it perfectly well
When they do Hard rock they do it perfectly well
and when they do more metal sounding stuff they do it perfectly well
When they do crooners they do them perfectly well
Live?? They're on a whole other level.
Love them or hate them, they are extremely good.
The Bon Jovi/Sambora writing partnership is an american national treasure if you ask me.
I mean this song You wanna make a memory is easily on of the best crafted songs of the past decade
they even do country perfectly well.

So I hear Ron is doing a show abroad. Best of luck to him, and hope the audience enjoy themselves.

Cool opinion bro.

If you take offense that's your problem. Keep it to yourself.
#1210 Re: Guns N' Roses » Great Axl & Kurt article » 771 weeks ago
By the end of 1991, I chose Kurt Cobain over Axl Rose because I wanted someone who did know the difference between right and wrong.
Right. Because doing ridiculous amounts of heroin and eventually blowing your head off is right.
Exactly. Right to some people wrong to some other people, there's no real difference.
This is just morality bullshit. The reality of the two men was a lot more interesting.
