Cue the band...

I don't fully understand why Bon Jovi went unplugged for this particular performance, but really, who I am to judge? It almost feels like all classic rock acts have to inevitably go acoustic to validate age and experience - what a joke. Look at Dee Snider, that guy knows how to rock no matter his age or place in life. There's credibility in that. The rock revival that has taken place, ostensibly, over the last few years is worth noting. Like them or not, bands like The Strokes, or the The White Stripes, etc. have created an environment suitable to basic guitar rock. The rap metal movement, pop punk craze and obsession with pop-metal managed to bury what rock and roll could have, or should have been. These distractions simply served to take attention away from what was already established and well received. Rock and roll just WORKS. Redefinition is entirely unnecessary.
