Just caught some of this on an old ep of Beavis and Butthead and couldn't help but share. The impersonators (especially Ed's) are awful, just awful. Same goes for the song.

    I used to love that song......
    And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...,"
    "What a stupid lamb."
    "What a sick, masochistic lion."

    I've never heard that song before, but that video certainly doesn't do it any favors. At all.

    That was supere cheezy!! I thought the Scott Weiland Impersonator was funny though. Awful video, awful graphics and an awful song.
    Let's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.

    I love the theme of the video:

    "If you want some music that doesn't make you want to kill yourself, turn to us."

    Like some skateboarder is gonna buy a Bon Jovi album. It's a good thing they don't think too highly of themselves. :lol:

    So...... it was 1995 and Bon Jovi were still trying to look like women.

    WTF! I can't believe this is an actual music video. Seems more like some sort of skit from SNL or MadTV.

    The guy in the plaid shirt at 22 seconds into the video is a friend of mine. He used to post here.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    That video and the song are both so stupid. No wonder Bon Jovi is a douchebag.

    There is a quiz show here in Australia called The Einstein Factor where you choose your own subject as well as general knowledge questions. A girl on there had Bon Jovi as her special subject, poor girl. But they forgot to ask the most important question, How much do they suck! :lol:

    I was going to start a new thread until I noticed that it was already around...

    Anyway, they just showed that video on "Much More Retro" in Canada and I can't believe how full of bullshit this video!!! I remember back then being so mad and you know what...? 14 years later, I'm still fuckin mad!!! Bunch of jealous SOBs!!!! Couldn't take the fact that young bands pushed them out of the spotlight!

    Sorry, the tread is old but I had to bring my anger up to date!

    What the hell? One of the Bon Jovi fans below the video posted this:

    "You ppl make me laugh..Especially the dude who things in order to like Vedder and Weiland you have to hate on Bon Jovi..i like all three of them..but, that being said..only one of them didnt have to rely on heroin to be artistic...I will let you guess which one.."

    I thanked him for informing everyone that Bon Jovi used heroin, since Eddie Vedder hasn't that was the only assumption I could make from his comments.

    I am actually horrified by this video as I used to be a fan when growing up. Their desperation is appalling! Funny to watch now though.

    I always thought Red Mosquito was perhaps a reference to heroin use and assumed it was about his experience trying it, so maybe Ed has tried it. I don't think it really matters since obviously Ed and JBJ have both shown to be productive musicians that haven't been caught in the turmoil of substance abuse (well, maybe a little too much wine on Ed's part, but he's a fun drunk).

    You have to give them some credit though for maintaining some form of relevence for such a length of time. Especially since they were lumped in with the 80s groups but actually survived the "Grunge" movement fully intact.

    Frankly, they kind of come accross as pompous douches at times, but there is no doubt that they will be a band remembered for a long long time.

    The irony behind this video is he's mocking a bunch of greats and saying don't listen to those D Bags... Listen to us. And they are the ones making this embarrassingly ridiculous video.

    I didn't know why Ed bashed Bon Jovi either calling him a "Butt Rocker"... now i know... besides the fact that they basically suck. They do get some credit for surviving through the glam rock period and still being around and having fans but NO THANKS from me.

    I agree with a few posts above though.... The Ed is SPOT ON.

    Ha... fun thread.
