the Bon Jovi thread

[metallex78]

Just looking at the Box Set tracklisting, Starting All Over Again is probably THE best unreleased Bon Jovi track, it's on the Australian version of Keep The Faith and is probably my favourite Bon Jovi song too.

Good to hear of a new guitar-rockin' Bon Jovi album coming too.

Starting All Over Again is a great rocker. Cant believe it wasnt on the Keep The Faith track list outside Australia!

[Timothy]

If the Mail man doesns't bring me this tomorow,I think I'll have to hurt him.

[D]

there are 50 songs so i havent got a chance to listen to all of em, but give each song a few listens, remember these are unreleased songs that didnt make the albums but dude there are some kick ass songs that i think couldve been hits back in the day

stand out tracks so far


why arent u dead
the radio saved my life tonight
open all night
these arms are open all night
i get a rush
garage land
startingall overagain   *i think jack black ripped this riff off for that school of rock song*
maybe someday
the fire inside
edge of a broken heart
onlyin my dreams sung by tico torres he sounds like louis armstrong its awesome
lonely at the top inspired by kurt cobains suicide
love aint nothing but a 4 letter word


and the greatest song so far and it is so awesome, it didnt make Keep the Faith because it was way too personal for Jon that he wrote when the band was about to break up and wait till u fuckin hear this, listen to this right away

Miss Fourth of July,  dude this so is so awesome gives me chillbumps.

theres no way Bsides and unreleased songs should be this good which only shows how great bon jovi really are

[D]

For captain oblivious  cause he is oblivious to why bon jovi were better than poison


If Bon Jovi were no better than Poison, why did Bon jovi survive and thrive during the grunge era and Poison are playing flea markets?  More than just a marketing team.

Jon is a musician for those who try to joke

besides singing he is an excellent rhythm guitarist a good pianist and can play bass and percussion

he has wrote or cowrote every song in the bon jovi catalog and wrote wild in the streets,living in sin,Blaze of Glory,Bed of Roses,Always and Thank You For Loving Me by himself.

He is a master performer who holds the crowd in the palm of his hand, he is an entertaining showman and is an amazing live vocalist.

He still has the looks and the songwriting ability to keep Bon Jovi a platinum act until he chooses to quit

They still sell out stadiums worldwide, stadiums in the United States

They just released a boxset that contained 38 unheard songs in which 15 of them were good enough to make records but they were so prolific those songs ended up in the vaults.

they have sold over 100,000,000 records *pretty good marketing team at work huh captain oblivious* have played in over 48 countries and are still going strong as ever

their new album comes out in the spring and they will began another tour.

I Know some of u will talk trash but they are one of the greatest bands ever and Jon Bon jovi is one of the greatest frontmen ever.

I will try not to say my taste is better than your taste but when i say stuffa bout bon jovi and Jon i give facts

im still waiting on some hard core meaty facts on why some of u believe the way u do. I still havent gotten any

[Naupis]

but when i say stuffa bout bon jovi and Jon i give facts

D-

I am with you 100% on Bon Jovi and how awesome a band they are. People always slag them, but when you look at all they have accomplished and their continued popularity their resume surpasses just about every band out there short of the Beattles in terms of tour attendance, record sales, and all of the measurables. If they were just a faddy hair band they wouldn't still be selling out stadiums and releasing platinum albums. Anyone who doubts them as a band should go see them live and they will understand what you're talking about. I frankly think the most amazing thing about them is they are about the only band to come out of that era that looks better now than they did then, and that is saying something when you look at the shape all of the other 40 something bands are in out there. I am so looking forward to the new album as they said it will be a return to their roots with more guitars and an 80's feel.

Thank You For Loving Me

  How fucking cheesy can you get?? I wonder when Bongiovi and Michael Bolton will collaborate

im still waiting on some hard core meaty facts on why some of u believe the way u do. I still havent gotten any

And the facts you gave were mostly album sales. Hooray, there are lots dunces who go out and buy this simple pop music. The FACT is, Bon Jovi is not credible. He is, as a matter of FACT, sort of a joke. You, however, do not see this, because for one reason or another you are a fan. The FACT is, there is a bulk of intelligent and musically knowledgeable people who all think Bon Jovi is nothing but commercial pop crap. Which would make us conclude that Bongiovi is most definitely not the greatest frontman of all time. QED.


(edit: don't get too caught up on the commercial aspect, Queen e.g. were very commercial/popular, but they also had tons of integrity)

Exactly Queen is so fucking Good and had the best front man ever with a lot of platinum records that still are selling ok

These are not facts, these are opinions.  Music is not about facts anyway, it's an art and art can never be reduced to facts or any other sort of measuring device.  It's all about the ability to appreciate what is good and what you like.  Bon Jovi just does not have too much substance, their music is cheesy.  I know that is simply my opinion but its not too hard to differenciate between good and bad bands when you know a thing or two about good music.

[Izzy]

Bon Jovi were once a faily good band, cheesy as hell, but alot of fun - the last ten years - perhaps even longer, they have been horrendous - there latest stuff is just rubbish.

[Metallifuck]

Nice pic! But what does it have to do with this thread? I don't think such a work-of-art uber-masterpiece should be linked with a Bon Jovi thread at all,

I guess What campos is trying to say is That for him the best frontman are between these two fellas, if that's not the reason I don' t  know anything  , I'll have to say that Axl will win that combat 

[Gunner80]

Ahh..........NO!  Bon Jovi are like the boy band of rock.

[Jaded]

I like Bon Jovi... i don't have any of their albums but i really like the hits i know:
