these days
something for the pain
all about loving you
mystery train
born to be your baby
you give love a bad name
keep the faith

the first time i saw bon jovi live was the crush tour in RDS.it was spilling rain with thunder and lightning.i managed to get up close to near the stage.they started playing lay your hands on me and these huge big imflatible hands popped up on either side of the stage.it was amazing.they played all my favourite bon jovi songs bar one.Then i knew that it was coming to an end when jon started singing put your hands up and shout.the place was electric,the whole place jumping.thenwhen it ended a massive roar of thunder was heard and lightning and fireworks where firing all over the place.in a recent interview jon bon jovi and richie sambora where asked what the best gig ever was.they said it was either the bounce tour in giants statium or the crush tour in the RDS.

what do you think of the recent stuff?

this left feels right isnt very good,except for maybe the distance and i'll be there for you.i thought that they ruined there classic songs by changing them.maybe im just saying this because i like what the classics like livin on a prayer and you give love a bad name.

bounce was a good album but they have gone wrong since.hope they release a new album in the next year or two that has new songs and not the best of /songs

When i first heard the new album, i just got the impression that the band were starting to run out of ideas, by re releasing old stuff. By doing this i tink they have ruined some great songs, especially Livin on a prayer, on first listening i didnt really like the album, but like all their albums they have a tendency to grow on u, several songs have improved imo, such as Wanted Dead or Alive and Its my live, so heres opening that they can hit back with a new album soon

Bon jovi possibly the oldest band to ever think they were young!!!


Listen to some real bands like The Strokes, The Chilis, The Frames etc.

Iv also noticed that whenever Bon Jovi is in a film he plays a drunken lout wots that all about!!!!!

I've always admired Bon Jovi's staying power but I would never consider myself a fan.

I went to see their gig in the RDS last summer primarily to see the support act, Live. So of course I hung around to see the main act ... and I was suprised - it was very good! Few too many starchy ballads, but as an Aerosmith fan I can hardly have a go about that.

If it wasn't for the likes of BJ, Aerosmith, Def Leppard and other great rock bands from decades past, there would be few enthralling live acts in music. Oh and The Darkness of course!

do you think all the band members of bon jovi ,jon,tico,david,richie would be good solo.i have jons solo album destination anywhere and its not to bad i also have richies 2 albums,david bryans and ticos solo albums,there all ok but not great.i think that without jon bon jovi wouldnt exist and with out richie it wouldnt exist either.i just think they are ten times better together than solo.I am saying if Bon Jovi break up i am saying that jon and richie would do best but not as good as they would together.what do you think?

I started out not liking Bon Jovi, but my other half is a hugh fan and I've ended up seeing them live about 4 or 5 times and they are one of the best live acts I've seen. We have all their albums I think. The audience at the Bon Jovi shows are amazing singing every song. They tend to play a little heavier live aswell. I thought that the songs on Bounce worked better live, where they played them heavier. I think the recent stuff is ok.

I still wouldn't say they are one of my favorite bands, but they are good rock band.

I don't like the The Strokes or the Frames. Never heard of the Chilis. Who the heck are they.

Deadwing

Can you say C.O.C.K R.O.C.K?

The jock

anyone think mystery train or the the distance are good songs.
i think there fairly good.

I'd have to say my favourite song is that one written by the same guy who writes Britney Spears songs

The Chilis would be the shortened name for The Red Hot Chili Peppers

great concert!
jon was outstanding

Bon Jovi are an excellent band and are still going.
Ive seen them 4 times (twice this year) and I cannot wait for the next tour!
Their most recent album Have A Nice Day is a great album and Id def recommend it. I went to the Milton Keynes concert in June and they just rocked. I had a brilliant night.

bon jovi are the best live band on the planet. i have seen them 11 times. 6 in dublin,5 in london. the only one album i think is average is the bounce one but that was written and recorded after 9/11 so it was kinda a political album.the rest are excellent and i think they have evolved their music to stay relevent today but they remmber where they started.
even though there the best live band, they are very underrated by the critics.
my favourite jovi song is these days followed by its my life and dry county but this lists changes from time to time. this summer richie sambora has a new solo record out and there is another jovi album due out early 2013. cant wait for both and hopefully there will be another tour too
