The title is tribute band opinions... Maybe you should join Backstage... IMO Bon Jovi are one of the hardest acts to cover... forget the ones that try to look and perform like Jon... Just talking vocally and musically... Say what you want about Jon (including these current times) but the guy puts his own stamp on his songs... Maybe I'm just super critical but I've seen tons of BJ cover acts and never walked away with any real satisfaction. Even that cover act Bounce sounds off to me... The band is great , the singer is okay but his accent throws me off... I think he'd be great covering someone else, I just don't know who...

Of the flip side, there are some really great cover acts that I've seen... There is a Bruce one in NJ called Tramps Like Us and the guys got Springsteen's voice down to a T.... He's got the same build and everything. They play the Stone Pony every so often and you feel like you're back in 1975...
