Bon Jovi

[Jags]

Thanks for the video Jags - it was awesome. If Chris continues his success, Daughtry is going to deserve his own thread in this forum.

You're welcome Dreamer. Hope it doesn't bother anyone that I'm talkin' about Daughtry so much here, though? It's just that NO other band has ever gotten to me like the Eagles, except for Daughtry! *sigh*

For you Bon Jovi Fans:

Despite being snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, Jon Bon Jovi has just been named to the second year roster of inductees to the New Jersey Hall of Fame. He was noted for championing low-income affordable housing in Newark and other cities through his charitable foundation. He joins others on this year's list: civil rights activist Paul Robeson, NBA star Shaq O'Neal, novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, poet Walt Whitman, astronomer Carl Sagan, Yankee shortstop and TV announcer Phil Rizzuto, tennis star Althea Gibson, inventor Guglielmo Marconi, writer William Carlos Williams, and comedians Jerry Lewis and Abbott & Costello! Quite a distinguished and varied list! Congrats! (And yes, Bruce Springsteen made the first group of inductees last year !)

I guess I was too busy with my other Jersey musicians to really get too into Bon Jovi's music when I was younger, although I don't deny his appeal to others out here. Lately, however, I actually love a few of his newer songs: Who Says You Can't Go Home, (You Want to) Make a Memory, and I Love this Town.

I'm in love with this song right now.

The first time I visited the States in...'86 (I think) there was a Bon Jovi Hit going on - I can't remember what it was now, but having a quick look on Wiki it was probably "You give love a bad name" or "Livin' on a prayer" either way - it was on the TV all the time ...and I loved it!!!

I'm not a huge Bon Jovi fan, but I do like 'Living on a prayer' and 'Wanted dead or alive'. I'm also impressed by how many different versions of the songs there are.

I found this slightly different version of 'Wanted dead or alive', and can only say that is one heck of a guitar that Richie's got.

Did everybody see this when the news broke regarding the death of Jon Bon Jovi?

My heart sunk when I saw it pop up on my screen. Did a quick google and got nothing so hoped it was just another hoax. A few minutes later, started seeing reports that it was indeed.

Pulled up FB just a bit ago, and had to laugh when I saw this picture he had posted on his FB page. At least he seems to be having a sense of humor about it.

I'm glad it was a hoax, but if it turns out that Heaven looks anything like New Jersey I'm gonna be sorely disappointed!!! Sorry Jersey.

Whew! Glad to hear it's not true!

I just heard about it this morning! Glad to hear Jon is fine!

And lookin' mighty fine too!

I'm glad that Jon Bon Jovi is taking this so well, but I must say that I think the individuals who start rumours like this are sick.

It really takes all types to make a world.
