the Bon Jovi thread

[metallex78]

Hopefully with the new album Bon Jovi will come to his senses and realise he has fans in Australia and actually tour here on their next "world" tour...

[Lara]

Let's hope for another dark moody album like These Days, full of good guitar work.

Finally!

When is it coming out?

Jon said april 2007. But it's not writen in the stone

[D]

I had heard rumors of another Greatest Hits and I am thrilled that they have seemed to move away from that route and are gonna go with a brand new album.

[Stones]

(I don't have the 90s ones, so I need to get them at some point), 

their finest work.

[D]

Bon Jovi were inducted into the UK hall of fame and it comes on VH1, Saturday night at 9pm eastern.

Yeah, Keep The Faith and These Days are still their best albums and definitely my favourites.

Like Jon Said

U like it or u dont like it but its Honest!


Thanks for the links!


WOW that introduction and the video gave me Goose Bumps and made me a little watery eyed.

I wish people could realize they are one of the greatest bands ever.

They are so underrated and get so little respect it drives me insane.

[D]

WOW My lucky day, PRince on the same awards show!

[mrlee]

bon jovi, are a band that piss me off because they get classed as the same music as RATT and Motley crue and all the glam bands. Thats crap bon jovi are girl rock.

You're right. Bands like that would never be able to pull off songs like these:

You know, songs with substance.

I dunno about RATT but you obviously have no idea what  Motley Crue is about besides one or two 80's hits.

i have every motley crue album (including corrabi), and a few live DVD's. i think i know my motley crue thanks.

you guys missed my point completely.

Im saying i hate bon jovi being classed as the same as crue, ratt, dokken and all that.

bon jovi are completely different.

[Malcolm]

Well its about time I put my two cents in here...Was never a huge bon Jovi fan.....kinda went in and out with the release of One Wild Night,Bounce and then Have A Nice Day....But I would now say im a huge fan....Seen them live in Toronto on the past tour and man they rocked....The only thing I dont like that theyve done was the This Left Feels Rigth but I guess Jon said soemtime that he relazises it may have been a mistake so thats cool....But yes...They are one of the greatest rock bands ever....Soooo many fucking hits man and some of the greatest songs ever...Always,Ill Be There For You,Bed Of Roses...and i love Richies solo in Wanted Dead Or Alive...Anywyas....No one can say Bon Jovi sucks...There awsome and have provbed itt ime and time again...I cant wait to hear the new album

[NicoRourke]

and i love Richies solo in Wanted Dead Or Alive

My favorite song from the band

To me, one of the best thing Jon and Richie ever wrote.

[GNRslave]

Jon said april 2007. But it's not writen in the stone

when did jon say that? thats really quick, considering they took 3 years between bounce and hand. i would also love to hear another album like these days,  its such an underrated album!!

[D]

In between Crush and Bounce though were One Wild Night Live and in between Bounce and HAND were This Left Feels Right and the Boxset which is fantastic.


Jon realizes that he is getting older *Richie is almost 50* and he knows he has to release as much music and build Bon Jovi's legacy as much as possible over the next 10 to 12 years.

So he has his foot to the medal and is gonna release as many albums as possible over this next decade.


Bon Jovi wasted a lot of time.

It took them 4 years between NJ and KTF, Took them 5 years between These Days and Crush.

They are gonna a release a new album every 2 years from now on I hope.


I went to the GNR Strip and those people are so fucking ignorant.

They tried to claim that BOn Jovi's songs were wrote by other people.

Thats such ignorant dumbshit.

Desmond Child Co Wrote Prayer and Bad Name, but Jon And Richie wrote their equal parts. its not like Desmond wrote the whole song by himself.


Guys like desmond child, they help put ideas together. They help take Raw ideas and help shape them.


Bon Jovi have PLENTY of hits they wrote on their own without Desmond which is why that statement is so dumb.


Jon wrote Runaway,Livin In Sin,Blaze of Glory,Bed Of Roses and Always by himself with no help from anyone.


Jon and Richie wrote Wanted Dead Or Alive,Bad Medicine,Born To Be my Baby,Ill Be There For You,These Days,This Aint a Love Song,and Who Says You Cant Go Home by theirselves.

[metallex78]

I'm still hoping for a rock album from Bon Jovi in the vein of Keep the Faith. That album really set them apart from their 80's counterparts. But aside from These Days, I thought the albums that followed were pretty bland.

They kinda promised a rock album with HAND, but apart from the title track I didn't think all that much of the rest of the album. I like the fact that they're gonna release albums more consistently though, and I also hope they decide that Australia is worthy of a proper tour again one day too.

Here's something I found while browsing on the web -> Dying woman granted wish to "meet" singer

This guy really know what love means. Fuck, sometimes things are way beyond unfair.

What JBJ did isn't much, and don't cost a thing, but still, I think it's cool that he took some of his time to do this. The guy is more and more active socially.
