Bon Jovi rocks!! They're just fun, that kinda rock thats easy to listen to. And Richie is amazing. They're great live too.
Fave songs:
Livin' on a prayer
Bed Of Roses
Shot through the heart
Have a nice day
Say it isnt so
...all of 'em...
They hit big just as I was getting into Metal ('86) and they were the antithesis of what I was getting into but c'mon. They do what they do and admittedly do it well. Wanted Dead Or Alive is a great Rock track
Same thing here, just getting into good music and grasping at anything that seemed like good rock or metal. I can't stand the newer stuff that being anything post 1986, but 7800 deg Farenheit and Slippery when wet were pretty good.
They were a Rock band who broke big in '86 the year that I got into Metal so anything like this was considered lightweight if you was digging on Iron Maiden and Metallica etc that's all. That sort of thing goes on now with Fall Out Boy par example.
To be honest, I never really cared about what people on an internet forum think about my taste in music. Hell, I'll even admit that I listen to Madonna, Duran Duran, HIM, and Cyndi Lauper.
Why? They have just as much merit as any other Rock band whether they are liked or not. They write their own tunes, play their own music and still tour.
If you were around and into music in 1985/86 you may apriciate that back then they were not bad at all, concidering there was not much music of its type in the mainstream, and im sure that a lot of banRAB today may not be as sucessful or even exist if Bon Jovi hadn't had the impact they did back then
I am not fond of their new material but classic Bon Jovi is awesome.
Some of the best songs:
-Runaway
-You Give Love A Bad Name
-Wanted Dead or Alive
-Livin' on a Prayer
-Born to be my Baby
-Bad Medicine
