    Cos I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride, and I'm wanted, WAAAANTAAAAYED, dead or alive...etc

    That's as much as Bon Jovi ever registered with me, I had the Young Guns soundtrack cos that movie was SICK, but the record got warped up against the radiator... :D

    That video is tragic and one of the reason why American's baffle me sometimes :lol:

  • is there some idiot defending Bon Jovi or is this just 5 pages of slamming him?
  • I totally forgot about that video. It makes sense tho. JBJ is just bitter about all the music that destroyed his career.

    The 80's was the WORST decade in music history. To me, that's fact.

    not to play devil's advocate here... but i see a guy who some would say(not me) sold out and married a model, while Jon Bon married his high school sweetheart.... but again, i am just playing devil's advocate...

    also, what do you base your "stuck on himself" statement on...just curious lol

    The only comment I can remember Ed saying about Bon Jovi was when Bon Jovi was singing at the super bowl? and he draped himself in the American flag. Ed said he new America would be ok after that....

    I am butchering that, but it is something like that. It was from a concert I think.

    Ahhhh hell I don't know I am old and my memory is fading.

    My Brother in Law went to see Bon Jovi at the KC Stadium in Hull and said "If I ever see Jon Bon Jovi in the street I'll quite happily smack in the face and demand my money back" :lol:

    He said his attitide, performance, and Diva-ishness (is that even a word) were a disgrace. He walked out after 40 minutes and went to the pub instead.

    Did you just make this question up or is there some basis in reality for it?

    Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

    Another thing I was wondering: Anyone know why Ed hates licorice?

    found it. Wiltern 2002

    It was somewhere between the ukulele songs and the return to guitar when Ed paused and mentioned that he saw a bit of the Closing Ceremonies for the Olympics while he was packing to fly down here. He said that, what with everything that has been going on, how reassuring it was to look up and see Bon Jovi with an American flag draped around his shoulders. As well as the lead guitarist wearing a fur lined coat. "I realized that a 40 year old butt rocker with an American flag around his neck was America's symbol to the world, and I felt better..."

    I always found Bon Jovi too soft for me...not that bad musically but not good enough, either. I mean there were a lot harder bands like Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Ac/Dc, Guns N' Roses...But BJ is still way better than all the fuckin RnB whinings of the last 10 years and 99% of the hiphop shit with primitive melodies. They taught me to appreciate the effort of musicians like Ritchie Sambora!;)
    Kanye West, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, Robbie Williams, chriscornellrapist Timbaland etc...THEY ALL should be hanged.Fact.

    Yeah, I am defending him and I am no idiot.

    Besides maybe making music you don't like, what has he done to be hated on?

    I am from New Jersey. I like almost everything from / about New Jersey...except Bon Jovi.

    Now, I don't hate the guy. I just hate his music. It's really terrible. His band is the prototypical 80's hair band, which is what Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden killed in 1991. Somehow, he is still alive.

    Personally, I have never been a big fan. But always appreciated him for his craft and what he has done. "Wanted Dead or Alive" is a great song from a fantastic movie, Young Guns. And now it has a whole new life as the theme song for an awesome show, Deadliest Catch!! And Richie Sambora is an incredibly talented guitar player, as well as a pretty good singer his own self.


    Wanted Dead or Alive is not from that movie. That was before the solo album he did for the movie. I like the Young Guns soundtrack, it's really good! Jon has an amazing voice on those. :-)

    Bon Jovi present tense is not my thing but I grew up listening to them so I have an appreciation. I was only 7 yrs old when I first heard them and still really like their old stuff.

    BTW Jon is a good guy but he's no faithful husband. He says so himself. I guess they have an open relationship.

    I'm from NJ and I can't stand his music. I don't know him so I can't hate him. But I think I understand why Ed hates him.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    funny because in the new rolling stone they talk about kurt cobain and they said kurt says Bon Jovi is evil.

    it just reminded me why I didn’t like Nirvana much. Kurt had this attitude…I can’t describe it.

    Jon Bon Jovi as aged very well. What a cutie!

    Lmao! Butt rocker!
    What the hell is a butt rocker?

    I can’t believe some of you don’t get that video.
    Music for the pain.
    He’s making fun of what it turn into. Pain music turned Grunge. Singers with hair in the face staring at the floor.Ed did that crap. A lot of people made fun of that kinda stuff back then.
