From his first band in high school, to the tremendous success of Bon Jovi, Jon has been a hardworking, ambitious & talented songwriter, musician, singer & frontman, who really knows how to put on a great Rock ‘n Roll show. He’s an extremely intelligent businessman & a generous humanitarian, as well as a loyal friend & family man. He deserves all the success & accolades that he receives. The Bon Jovi band has been Rockin’ & Rollin’ for 40 years & that’s a huge accomplishment. I really admire Jon & have always liked his music. Keep on Rockin’ Jon & thanks for reminding us to always “Keep the Faith”!!! ❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️

So? David is still with the band. Life happens. 40 years and going!

Jon Bon Jovi has my deepest respect. Beautiful to see the stable loving marriage, inspiring to see the consistency and healthy loyalty amongst the band members. An example to us all.

[@jabroneycabron]

It's because the generation who grew up listening to him was different than today. Now the Bon Jovi generation is older with more money and will always crave nostalgic experiences, regardless of price. There was only live shows and physical records, no internet and only a few gatekeepers. Musicians today will never know the level of money and stardom that these dudes were reaching back then. Im sure thats why most of them were absolute savages. Bring back sex, drugs and rock & roll!

[@BatoBoss-BonJoviTrader2]

I'm just older, but i don't have moneyI'm Bon Jovi fan since Always 1994, when i was 12. I give all my money to Jon

[@sarajah4him]

Elvis Presley is the King of Rock And Roll, but for me is Jon Bon Jovi 10000x better than Elvis Presley. Better singer, better person, better guitar player and much more beautiful than Elvis. Elvis is Jons Idol, but Jon is mine

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Jon turned on the radio on the desk in his Hotel room and the station was set to an oldies am. Elvis was playing so Jon looked over his shoulder to me and sang a line of Elvis and did a little wiggle. Great memories that weekend for a young 18 yr old and a gorgeous 40+ Jon. ❤ Had a crush on him since age 10. Always knew I'd meet him.. didn't have dreams of keeping him though. ❤

[@beyourself2444]

I've never been a fan of Bon Jovi as opposed to my sister who absolutely loved them. I was into GnR but what I loved about him is how business-like he was and not taking his fame too seriously. Marrying and staying married, he was not like so many of the other RnR frontmen who were full of themselves. I appreciate the man, even though I still think most of his music is commercial and not good. He's one of those people who just had a great, easy life, lucky him... Andy Gibb and Whitney Houston should have studied him, imagine getting everything and wasting it, smh...

[@adamdambrov2308]

I do not like his music, but this is a great interview.

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
