I feel it's due to Jon Bon Jovi having a pretty clean record, which people claim means he isn't a true rocknrolla. Not known for the booze/drugs/rocknroll culture, married his high school sweetheart, has 4 kids to one women and is open to acknowledging Bon Jovi is a business, rather than a band (have heard him say this in a doco). Pretty sad that people sh$t on you for just keeping it together.

I believe in The Dirt book, Nikki Sixx talks about how Bon Jovi went just as hard as they did, but he kept it hidden. Tells a story about them going to a brothel or something together.

I saw a Bon Jovi documentary on MTV years ago and he pretty much admitted he slept around.
And how many people from the 80's now do you bet regretted hanging around Motley Crue!

Sex, drugs, rock n roll. Just didn't brag about it as much as his contemporaries I guess.

The whole band did but they did dress and look a bit cleaner than the rest of them.

That's Jon.
There's rumours he asked the drummer at one point to get plastic surgery lol.

Yeah Def Leppard came out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a bit more poppy than some of them but they have hard rock/metal roots. A bit of hair metal and a bit cheesy at times but I"ve always liked them, and * they were good at Marvel.

The vocal harmonies too are very Queen like, more than any other band.

And on Bon Jovi I've always liked them too, my older brother loved them growing up so I always listened to them. My tastes got (way) heavier as I got older but it's still alright occasionally.

Tico Torres about 10 years older than the rest of the band so that wouldn’t surprise

I was a teenager back in the late 80s and I never liked Bon Jovi or any of their songs that much despite them being huge at the time.
I liked Def Leppard and Aerosmith though who produced two killer power ballads that Bon Jovi couldn't get close to matching for quality.

Bon Jovi's best ballad is buried in an album, and it's probably the best ballad a 'hair metal' band has ever put out.

They are a funny band for me, I really like them but I could never listen to one of their albums start to finish.
It's like I listen to 3 of the songs in a row and that's enough because I'm about to overdose.
Love Gods of War, would probably listen to that before a fight if I was a fighter.
Not the biggest fan of Motley Crue but always thought this was a terrific ballad, also hidden away at the back end of an album

It's good, but could be mostly for the novelty value of its lyrics.
Dry County is almost November Rain tier of best ballads by an 80s rock/hair band.
Skid Row and Warrant have a couple good ballads too.

Marilyn Manson’s version of Sweet Dreams (are made of this) is better than the original
