Jon Bon Jovi predicting hits

Bon Jovi says that he finds it difficult to predict hits.

Despite going strong since the 1980s, the 51-year-old admits it’s hard to tell whether a new track will go down well with fans or not.

"It's tough! I remember playing songs for family members and they go, 'It's great,' and then it's rubbish or they say it's rubbish and it's great. So at the end of the day, you've gotta go with your own gut. I don't spend too much time asking anybody anymore," he confessed to Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O. 

“I think that in this last decade I’ve found a great appreciation for what I’ve done musically and we’ve kept very busy in that last decade. I’m not actively pursuing any acting any longer.”

"I've been wrong more than I've been right. Fortunately I have had enough things go right. It's just quantity at the end of the day; you keep swinging, you get a home run!'
