![]() ![]() In 1988, if you name your album New Jersey, you suffer some Bruce comparisons. Bon Jovi’s new album, defiantly titled New Jersey, is so purely commercial that it’s practically beyond criticism (it would be more appropriate to evaluate its sales potential) Metallica makes challenging music worthy of considered analysis. Metallica appeals both to critics and to angry, pimply adolescent males (actually, the two groups occasionally intersect) Bon Jovi is a band for “the kids” - including, oddly enough, a fair number of females. It’s the difference between the status quo and something really radical. Some might see no difference at all between the two bands, but to your average kid, they’re as opposite as shirts and skins. ![]() And as the metal heap has gotten higher, it has also widened to the point that it can include such disparate bands as Bon Jovi and Metallica. ![]()
