You are taking about art. We are taking about the overall success of certain bands as a business. They are not the same thing and being an incredibly successful business does not equate to phenomenal music or visa-versa.
It is Jon Bon Jovis business. It's his to hire and fire as he pleases. That's all.
KISS is a very mediocre rock band that was marketed exceptionally well. Additionally, it was Simmons who wanted the makeup, costumes and look and it was basically him and Stanley that started the group I believe. It is a brand, not a band. Non Jovi is a brand, not a band. Metallica is a brand, not a band. That is why they make so much money. It doesn't matter who plays drums or bass.
