(New) Traditional Metal

It's just trad with modern production. Once your ears get used to the production it's ok, just a bit overly happy and not very varied.
 
It's not trad, it's like glam metal. Garbage big time. Her deep/gutteral sound is terrible too. This is like pop music of metal, no wonder why no girl in England loves you
 
It's about as metal as most of Defenders of the Faith but I think you're too dumb to see past the production.
 
The stuff in the op is at least as metal as Dokken and such. Maybe Bon Jovi had a more metal album I'm unaware of like the first two Europe albums, but I'm pretty sure you guys are exaggerating.

And yes, those songs are no less metal than most of Defenders' B-side.
 
Runaway is the most metal thing I've heard by Bon Jovi, but I've never heard a song by them other than hit singles. I actually quite like those first to Europe albums. They verge on metal and are about as metal as a lot of the less ferocious NWOBHM stuff.

i was exaggerating, but claims that people only disliked it 'cause of the production kind of deserved an extra dose of antagonism. and ya, the 'finale' of DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH is fucking terrible. i do kind of have a penchant for 'love bites' though, super gay though it is
