Just thought i'd take the time to wish this man a happy 50th birthday.

I know he's not a big favorite of a lot of people around here, so please do me a favour and keep the hating to a minimum and clean.

anyway
HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY JOHN FRANCIS BONGIOVI

    :lol: Excellent! :lol:

    I LOVE Bon Jovi - one of my top bands of all time. Simply put, their music is just one heck of a great time! I saw them live last May in Atlanta, and they were fabulous - put on one of the best shows I have seen in a long time...and they had the entire arena on their feet the entire show. I would totally go and see them again - it was a blast!

    Hipsters...erm...I mean, haters gotta hate. But I don't care. I love Bon Jovi!!!

    Happy Birthday, Jon! Great band, great singer...and by all accounts, a great guy!

    Pandora - did you go to the show last year in Atlanta? It was such a great time - Phillips Arena was totally packed and the whole place was singing and dancing along - it was great!

    Also, I love that song too. Probably my favorite Bon Jovi song. :)

    I was so excited when they sang it...but the song that really brought down the house was Bad Medicine. I think everyone was out of their seats singing and dancing on that one. And You Give Love A Bad Name also.

    Happy birthday Jon!

    I gotta say its kinda odd thinking of one of these guys being 50. The PJ guys are heading that way of course & yeah that will be odd. ha ha :lol:8-) Aren't rock stars always in their 20s? ;):lol:

    I'm the same! I worshiped Jon over my teens, but then I got older and more mature, and found a better man and better music! :lol:

    I think Denis Leary said it best:

    Stevie Ray Vaughan is dead...and we can't get Jon Bon Jovi in a helicopter. Come on, folks. "Get on that helicopter Jon. Shut the fuck up and get on that helicopter! There's a hair dresser in there. Yeah, go ahead in there, yeah yeah."

    Gosh, haven't listened to them in years (might start again this weekend - I have all their albums :mrgreen::mrgreen: ) but the ones I remember loving are:

    I'll Be There for You
    Keep The Faith
    In These Arms
    Blaze of Glory - JBJ solo for Young Guns II
    Miracle - JBJ solo for Young Guns II

    And at some point there was Livin on a Prayer acoustic -- LOVED that.

    First, I think it's cute about your kiddo! Gotta get 'em into PJ too...but Bon Jovi is a great start! :)

    As for my fave Bon Jovi songs, I'll go with:

    1. Wanted Dead Or Alive
    2. Bad Medicine
    3. Livin' On a Prayer
    4. It's My Life
    5. You Give Love a Bad Name

    Others I love: Who Says You Can't Go Home, Have a Nice Day, I'll Be There For You, Born to Be My Baby, Lost Highway, Blaze of Glory (Jon), Bed of Roses (you should have seen the girls up in the $1,000 seats swoon when they sang this one! :lol: )

    Yes it is! And I didn't realize how awesome it would be live until I was there when they played it. It was by far the best live song at the Atlanta show I saw last May....and they played EVERYTHING, so that's saying a lot! I don't think there was a single butt in a seat during that one...and Phillips Arena (the venue) is HUGE. Everyone was dancing and singing along. What a BLAST!!

    bon jovi are an aswome live band, i remember seeing them one time, when they didn't want to stop playing.
    was probably one of the best live shows i've seen.

    That's so true. Still a lot of great people making great music into their 50s.

    I loved Bon Jovi back in their 80s heyday. I have only liked a few songs since then but I still have respect for them.
