Yes and no.. I think 'Keep The Faith' and 'These Days' were a good subtle shift but look at Iron Maiden. They dipped in the 90's with Blaze but have remained sounding like Iron Maiden right though to now, in all their recordings, and they sell out huge venues with it.
The issue for me with Bon Jovi is that their material is so different that they basically aren't the same band as the 80's & 90's and that is a noticeable problem...
