Also...in general you can't expect a guy at 49 to look like he did at 39 to look like he did at 29. He's a human being afterall. He has to age, and it's natural to thicken up a little when getting older.

I'm sure he's still going to sound awesome.

I will agree that I'm not a huge fan of the constant hats. Even if there's an issue with his hair or something...but constantly being in a hat seems forced.

But hey....as Olorin said...not really about his looks for me

Not once did I deny the fact Gn'R had a better five year run BUT Bon Jovi has had a WAY better 30 year run.

No they didn't. Their music doesn't hold up worth a damn, whereas GN'R put out timeless classics that still kick ass even today. Bon Jovi has made a lot of money. So does Britney Spears.

Also I'll go to my gave saying Bon Jovi is a  way better band than  Nirvana ever was. Just because Rolling Stone put Cobain on the cover and called him the voice of a generation doesn't mean shit. yeah they helped changed the musical landscape and yes they deserve to be in the hall of fame but if anyone says they'd take Nirvana's career over Bon Jovi's I'll just assume you're high as a kite.  Why would you? So you can have a legacy to thump your chest about?

Nirvana is certainly overrated but still a hell of a lot better than Bon Jovi. 100 years from now, people won't give a shit about Bon Jovi selling a lot of records or making a lot of money on tour. The music is the thing that will be judged over time.

April 12th....but we don't know if they are going to get in yet.

Supposedly they announce inductees around December, so only a couple months to find out if they're in or not. Kinda funny. I was looking at last year's nominees and Bon Jovi was nominated (not inducted), but they were dropped from the nominee list this time around. How pissed will Jon be if GN'R gets in before his band? I still remember him ranting about how they are still a big touring act, yet everyone in the media seems to focus on Axl/GN'R.
