Bon Jovi - Welcome To Wherever You Are Single Review
Bon Jovi
"Welcome To Wherever You Are"
Mercury
30/01/06
Credit where it's due, to last 20 years in the music business you've got to consistently make music that many people enjoy. Since debuting with "7800 Degrees Fahrenheit" in 1985 they've released ten more albums, including last year's "Have A Nice Day", which peaked in the UK album chart a place shy of the top spot. The Jersey quartet have also been bestowed the honour of being the first band to play at the new Wembley Stadium, as part of their world tour in the summer.
Sharing its name with INXS' 1992 album, Bon Jovi's latest single is a mid-tempo blend of acoustic verses and massive pompous chorus designed to encourage arm swaying. The lyrics are painfully clichéd and predictable, pointing toward a band that are going through the motions and lacking in new ideas. It's safe to say that this won't stand the test of time along with "Always" and "Living On A Prayer".

Check your facts. 7800 was not their debut album. There's a reason after 20
years they still sell out stadiums. People like the band's music (lots of
people!). Bon Jovi songs speak to people from all walks of life all over the
world. Period.
