the Bon Jovi thread

[tim_m]

I hope the documentary is also a live dvd of that show.

[D]

There are no plans for TV but fuck come on VH1, work a deal!

[tim_m]

I'll even settle for a bootleg of that.

[robd788]

They are doing a live DVD from the MSG shows.

We may get footage of the Central park one on the documentary.  They have filmed all the lost highway shows for that one (including all the incredible setlists from Europe)

Did anyone see the MSG set list from last night!


Bed of Roses AND Always original style!!!!!


Last concert of the tour tonight, I bet it will be special.

Cant wait for the DVD


I bet that Central Park concert was crazy!

Bed of Roses AND Always original style!!!!!

Yeah, they played Bed of Roses at the Sydney show I went to, but it was really stripped back, almost unrecognizable. I would've loved to hear it played properly.

[Rapunzel]

Yeh, I was looking to buy a Bon Jovi CD the other week. There was a LIVE one but dammit Bed of Roses wasn't on it. I would have bought it if it was.

[D]

Jon got for a while where he messed his voice up and could no longer hit the real high notes so they stripped back BOR and Always


Jon is back with a vocal coach and really  putting the time in and now he can sing em both flawlessly.


They are making a MSG DVD and hopefully CD so it will be on there.

[Bodhi]

I was at the show the other night in the garden...I have to say Jon sounded INCREDIBLE....flawless...whatever word you want to use...Bon Jovi is one of if not THE best live band I have ever seen...and I have seen them all.....and im not just saying that cause im from jersey

[Rapunzel]

Bon Jovi is one of if not THE best live band I have ever seen...and I have seen them all.....and im not just saying that cause im from jersey

Yes, that's right. The music helped me to "come out of my shell" when I was a teen.

Quite a treat to see Jon live! 


( My family approved of the positive change in me. Life could go on!)

Bon Jovi Sued for Giving Lyrics A Bad Name

Posted Oct 11th 2008 1:00PM by TMZ Staff

Jon Bon Jovi is being sued for 400 bil -- yes, billion -- bucks by a Boston musician who says Jovi allegedly borrowed lyrics from his Boston Red Sox anthem entitled, "(Man I Really) Love This Team."

Samuel Bartley Steele, the front man for a band calling themselves "The Chelsea City Council," believes Bon Jovi heard his song while campaigning in Boston for John Kerry in '04, then used the lyrics in his own song entitled, "I Love This Town."

Regardless of the result, Steele really is livin' on a prayer if he thinks he's going to get that amount of cash.

A Bon Jovi spokesperson says they haven't seen the lawsuit yet.

What the fuck?

I love This town and I love this team?

How Many songs have been called Bed of Roses or This Ain't A Love Song or what have you

Ridiculously stupid lawsuit.

[jarmo]

I remember back when MTV used to play videos how amusing it was that Bon Jovi had a song on MTV with the lyrics "I will love you... always" a few years after Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You"  had been played to death on that channel.

 


Edited to add: I can't believe I'm in this thread....

"Man I Really Love This Town" (Any Team/Town Lyrics)

Man I Really Love This Town
by Bart Steele 07/06

Have You the news that's goin' round?
Our Hometown team is playoff bound
Word is out on (name of street that stadium/park/or arena is on)
Our team in (team's color) has come to
(rhyme w/ st./way/blvd, etc.)(i.e.beat/play/far)
Get up off your seats, scream it out aloud
Man I Really Love This Town

The Yankees, Royals, & The Rays
The Tigers, Rangers & The Jays
(Insert any teams from any sport/any town)
Just ask (local sports announcer's name) in the box
Anyone will tell you (name of city/town) Rocks!!!
Get up off your seats, scream it out aloud
Man I Really Love This Town

Got to keep believin, gotta stay tough
Like (name of current/past player from that team) used to tell us
we ain't ever gonna give up!!!
Stand up proud Say it LOUD c'mon and let'm know
Here we go (team/city name) Here we go
(crowd repeats)

Have you heard the news out on the street?
Our Hometown team's the team to beat
Feel that spirit far and near
Those (team/city/stadium name) begin to cheer
Get up off your seats, scream it out aloud
Man I Really Love This Town (repeat x 3)



Here are Bon Jovi's............ This shit is like nowhere near the same thing.


I always knew, that I'd like this place
You don't have to look too far, to find a friendly face
I feel alive when I'm walkin' on the street
I feel the heart of the city poundin' underneath my feet

[CHORUS]
Yeahhhhh let the world keep spinnin round 'n' round
This is where it's goin' down, down, down
That's why I, love this town
That's why I, keep co-min' round

Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
You make me feel at home some how, right, now
That's why I, love this town

I've got some good friends here, I might have broke a heart or two
It's gettin' loud over there, they boys must have had a few
And hey the cop on the corner, he knows everybody's name
And a kid with a dream singin' for some spare loose change

[CHORUS]
Yeahhhhh let the world keep spinnin round 'n' round
This is where it's goin' down, down, down
That's why I, love this town
That's why I, keep co-min' round

Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
You make me feel at home some how, right, now

That's why I, love this town

[GUITAR SOLO]

There's shoutin' from the rooftops
Dancin' on the bars
Hangin' out the window
Drivin' in their famous cars
You want it? You got it
You ready? I'm on it
Come on now, here we go agaiiinnnnnn....

That's why I, love this town
That's why I, love this town

No matter where you're from, tonight you're from right here
This is where it all goes down, down, down
That's why I, love this town

[REPEAT x3]
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
I love this town
[END REPEAT]

Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
I lo-ove this town
