the Bon Jovi thread

 Madonna, Springsteen, and Red Hot Chili Peppers never had it in the first place. 

have you ever listened to Born To Run, or Darkness on the Edge of Town?

[Gunner80]

On behind the music they said they fired Alec for hitting to many errant strings live. Like Jon and Richie don't do the same thing live?

Ive never heard Richie ever mess up anything, he has sung a wrong lyric here and there but Richie's playin is flawless.

Jon's playing and singing is pretty damn flawless live as well which is why they remain one of the top touring acts goin today.

There's no such thing as "flawless" when it comes to playing live. Unless Jon & Richie are 50%  click track junkies.

watch a bon jovi concert.

Alec would play the wrong shit.

U know yourself dude, if u are playing a chord progression and everyone lands on G and someone else lands on A its gonna sound fucked.

Ive never heard any fuck ups and they dont use any kind of click track.

According to the Bon Jovi site, Wembley Stadium next year is SOLD OUT! That is just amazing stuff. Provided it is finished on time which is a big doubt, they will be the last gig at the old Wembley and the first gig at the new Wembley stadium.

BON JOVI'S PRE-TEEN SEX SHOCK   
 
Rock god JON BON JOVI enjoyed his first sexual experiences at the tender age of 12 with a "desperate housewife".

The PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS star admits the seduction was a little early, but it stood him in good stead.

He says, "(I was) far too young. I was getting a lot further than you would think by the time I was 12.

"I was liberated by a desperate housewife."

Bon Jovi sucks big fat sweaty hairy balls. No self-respecting rock fan would actually admit to being a Bon Jovi fan. Worst fucking band ever. God how they suck.
