the Bon Jovi thread

[mrlee]

Richie going into rehab is the most rock n roll thing Bon Jovi has ever done.

Well if u don't consider 110 million albums, 2 or 3 of the greatest rock songs ever and being the only band from their Genre to survive the 80's un Rock n Roll, then y eah u are right.

yeah but they only survived because they changed music styles and went away from the genre....

Not really, they stayed true to who they were which is why they survived.

Bed of Roses isnt much different stylistically from other ballads they did.

Selling 110 million albums doesn't mean that they are any good, or make Bon Jovi Rock N' Roll. They never really were, part of the 80s metal genre, anyway, IMHO. They were watered-down Van Halen, with a touch of Springsteen, pussafied, and marketed to soccer moms and 12 year-old girls. I've give them credit for their staying power, but they are pure shit, always have been, as far as I'm concerned.

Your opinion is wrong dude, sorry. As sad as you sound Bon Jovi are one of the greatest bands of all time. Sales do mean quality... especially that many albums... lol

like their box set said: 100,000,000 fans can't be wrong.

[mrlee]

i think they are alright, but theres no way you can say they are one of the best rock bands ever, they are very over-rated.

Oh hell no, sales do not mean quality no matter who the band is. Hell all those teeny bopper bands sold millions of albums but that don't mean the music is any good.

Bon Jovi tops Australian country chart
Monday Jun 18 11:31 AEST

Bon Jovi has achieved a double whammy this week with a debut on the mainstream album charts and pole position on the Australian country chart.

The 80s rocker and now country music star has released his tenth album in a career that has spanned over two decades.

Lee Kernaghan has wriggled up three spots, taking the tally of Aussies on the chart up to four. Later this month Kernaghan will appear at the The Spirit of the Bush Concert to raise funds for drought stricken farming families.

Last week country music legend Slim Dusty would have celebrated his 80th birthday. His posthumous album has crept up one spot since last week, proving he can still sell records.

 
 
 
John Williamson, currently at eight on the chart, is embarking on a Wildlife Warrior tour inspired by the late environmentalist Steve Irwin, to raise funds for wildlife conservation.

Spotted admiring his wife's performance in the filming of Baz Luhrmann's outback film Australia set in the outback town of Bowen, Keith Urban has sustained pace on the charts with his album Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing sitting pretty halfway down at number 5.

I walked right into that one.

[NicoRourke]

The new album is really good.

Any Other Day, Whole Lot Of Leavin', Everybody's Broken, Lonely ... They're just great songs.

We Got It Going On will be killer live

Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore is a great ballad and a duet with LeAnn Rimes.

It's filled with guitars. I swear, Richie Sambora is all over the place on this one.

Drums are great too, Tico did a very cool job
