Bon Jovi “Bed Of Roses” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@_blueskies]

Asia, the mistress he's referring to is the stage. "She calls me to stand in her spotlight again." When he says he won't be alone he means he'll be with all the fans at his concert.

[@firefighterchick]

Not completely though. One of the first lines is "a blonde gave me nightmares. I think she's still in my bed.

[@_blueskies]

@@firefighterchick The blonde isn't a literal woman either. It's his favorite guitar, a blonde stratocaster.

[@rantoppp]

blueskies knows! The guitar and the stage.

[@shawnpiette5372]

you would have to be pretty dumb not to figure that out

[@arturnienartowicz7213]

Exactly. And it's "I won't be alone, but it don't mean I'm not lonely" and not "I'm lonely but not alone" (There's a difference between "There's people here, but I'm thinkin about and missing you" and "I'm missing you, but I'll have me some company". He means the first.) JBJ and his amazing wife are a lovely couple of a long standing...

[@sherribrock2726]

Just to clarify, his “mistress” is the band and music! Him not being alone is the crowd. It was a sweet song!!

[@malindaegdorf8861]

Yes. It is him being surrounded by the fans

[@sag6303]

Need to reaction to Wizkid Money and Love 2 Sugar ft Ayra Starr Bad to Me

[@samf.6298]

One of the best power ballads ever!! He wrote this song to his wife, packed full of metaphors. The blonde in his bed is his favorite guitar. Some say it's because perhaps he fell asleep while practicing. "The bird on the wire" is in reference to his plane finally taking him back home to her. He talks about the kings ransom in dimes he'd give each night to see through the pay phone. He's plugging so many dimes into the pay phone to talk to her but he'd give all of that to just see her. And of course there's the reference to his mistress calling him to stand in her spotlight again meaning the stage. He longs to lay her down in a beautiful, cozy, romantic bed of roses, but all the while he's sleeping in a bed of nails. The pain of having to sleep alone so far away from her. It's a gorgeous love song when you understand all those metaphors!! Great reaction, absolutely love this song!!!

[@sarablack2547]

Bird on a wire is what they used to call a landline phone call cause the birds sit on the telephone wires that stretch out between posts .you can see it in Dumbo.there's also a comedy film with Goldie hawn and Mel Gibson called bird on a wire.

[@shellybrownlee5470]

I absolutely love Jon's vocals in this song. He wrote this song for his wife. The blonde in his bed is a guitar. The bed of nails represents the torture of being away from his wife while touring. The mistress is the stage because it takes him away from home. He's not alone because the band and fans are there. Although, I haven't figured out why he would have said yes to the bartender giving him the eye if he weren't laughing so hard at her wig being crooked. 😂 Great reaction, y'all.

[@bkm2797]

Wow, never heard this before, thank you!

[@csblame]

I think that whole bridge in the song is a joke. Being that he was at a bar with friends and bandmates. That’s the way I always took that line. Kind of like joking amongst friends. Like this person was so ridiculous with the wig, “yeah, I might have said yes.”

[@bonniemartell9750]

He wrote this song for his wife!❤❤❤❤

[@sueburgess7248]

Yep. But he wasn't always loyal but he loved his wife and still does.

[@gerardroll6468]

Asia, BJ… I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan since 1989 & have seen them in concert 11 times. Whenever this song began playing, the roar that would erupt from the fans was beyond deafening 🎸🌹🎸. This is one of their most iconic songs & Richie Sambora’s guitar solos in it are “legendary with a capital L” 👍😁🎸. You simply can’t go wrong with ANY Bon Jovi song from any time period. Take care family… Much love… From Australia 🇦🇺🫶🏻❤️🇦🇺

[@tennpsyc0316]

Bon Jovi is one of the most authentic and genuine artist you will come by. Him and his wife have been married over 30 years - High school sweethearts. ❤

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love Jon Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles duet “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”!!!

[@vonashaffer]

The Jon and Richie harmony is quite possibly the best. ❤

[@andreas956]

Those backup vocals are perfect. What is the name of the backing vocals singer?

[@mirandanewman7315]

Richie Sambora

[@judychristian5515]

You can’t go wrong with Bon Jovi. They are amazing. I’ve seen them in concert so many times and if you have the opportunity I highly recommend it. Jon always made his way through the crowd. The best concerts I’ve been to were Bon Jovi.

[@danielschartzer1396]

React to "DRY COUNTY" Live at Wembley "1995" The passion that Bon Jovi put into the singing , and the guitar leads are epic off the charts 👍🏼 Keep up the good work Peace out

[@gingerty9628]

Thats a great song

[@bkm2797]

I prefer it off the top of your head, makes it real! Love Bon Jovi, John is an amazing human being, he is ultra talented and he gives back. Thank you Asia and BJ

[@kevinminne1460]

This is the absolute LOVE song! He's torn between his love and his audience. This is not about him cheating xoxox

[@robertg7396]

Asia, when he says "his mistress". He's referring to the spotlight of the stage. Not actually another woman. His mistress is his career, because it takes him away from the woman he loves. The bed of nails, is because that's how it feels sleeping apart from her. 😊

[@bkm2797]

That's beautiful!

[@danilomolito775]

THE PRINCE OF ROCK NO DOUBT IT..I REALLY LOVE THEM,BONJOVI FOR LIFE...❤🇵🇭

[@greglane8092]

I love your reactions. The two of you just play off each other so well. This may be my favorite Bon Jovi song. The vocals and message are just so beautiful. When you first hear the word "mistress" of course your mind takes you to it meaning another woman, but when you really listen to the words, you can tell it really refers to touring/the stage. The love story of Jon and his wife is pretty special, especially considering how long he has been in the rock and roll spotlight.

[@tanyadavis6921]

Thank u for watching this video! Bon Jovi is one of my all time fav bands and getting to see them live was a dream come true! check out their thank u for lovin me! his mistress is him being on stage with the band!

[@Lynnwoody1]

This is my fave bon jovi song, like people have said he wrote this about how much he missed his wife , and the mistress is his career, l think you should listen to it with the lyrics and then it becomes clear what a beautiful song it is.

[@RichieChokai]

His talking about on tour being away from home. His mistress is his job being on stage in the spot light. THANK YOU GUYS😁

[@kathyjam2482]

This is one of my favorite songs from them.

[@MARKB3946]

Such a beautiful song. The vocals and musicianship is stellar.

[@saucyempress9803]

Bon jovi was the first band i saw in concert. Lots of their songs are deep and have amazing lyrics

[@tiffanytosh1569]

Bon Jovi is my all-time favorite band!

[@Lee4364]

The Blonde who lies in his bed as he sits at the piano is his Guitar as he is dealing with writers block .. His Mistress is the stage he performs on every night he is away from his wife

[@matthewwoods5235]

I've grown up a Jovi fan. Through the times it, "wasn't cool" or whatever...they've lasted the test of time and have so many amazing classic songs. Gotta respect.

[@thequiet1374]

I hear ya. In high school it was tough being a bon jovi fan when grunge hit. Had to Keep the Faith.

[@bryansimmons4550]

Richie has such a great high range voice. Jon has been married to his high school sweetheart for forever. Cheating was NOT on his mind when this song was written. It's about the mistress of the music business and touring.

[@stephaniesmith9479]

Richie (guitarist)out shined Jon in this one the melodies

[@gerardroll6468]

Our “mum & dad” getting all philosophical about what the song was about at the end was HYSTERICAL 😂😂😂

[@BattlerBears71]

They sure know how to make us all laugh. They are one of my favorite reaction video duo. Asia and BJ keep on doing what you do as you make our day alittle brighter. 😊

[@gerardroll6468]

@@BattlerBears71 … Oh most definitely & I agree 100% 🤙😁

The definition of a " Rock Power Ballad"!!!💯❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥🔥💯 The music alone..🎶🎼🎶🔥🎸🎸🎸🔥 ohh my goodness... ❤

[@wendylangford8775]

And the funny thing is he wrote this song with a very bad hangover in a hotel room and it became one of the greatest power ballad ever.

[@firefighterchick]

Bon Jovi is a legend! Please do his newer song called Unbroken. It is pay homage to veterans.

[@kevinminne1460]

One of my favorite songs from Bon Jovi!! Beautiful

[@sandraj313]

Y'all just hit my nostalgia bone 😊

[@onielelder9654]

Thank You for this! I was waiting for you guys to do my favorite Bon Jovi tune 🤙🏽

[@angelskunk2206]

Love this Bon song! Also Lay Your Hands on Me 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamestate5059]

Jon is married to his high school sweetheart. When he wrote this song they were fighting and having a rough time. Now you have to hear their song Always. That one may be more powerful than this

[@Sheliahhh69]

I'm sure the comments have already informed you, 'the mistress' is the stage & being up there being amazing, doesn't mean he's not lonely. I didn't catch it the 1st time either. Loved both of your reactions! Keep em' coming! Love, peace & happiness, always! 💕✨✌

[@SarahFromCanada]

Ritchie's voice in the background always gets me.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

I love seeing Jon so dang young. He is just as pretty, only he is now a silver fox. He has JBJ Soul Kitchen's where they serve the needy. Amazing man & great band. Married for almost 35 years. Love this band. Have you heard 'Livin' on a prayer', 'Wanted dead or alive', 'You give love a bad name' or 'It's my life'? All great tunes.

[@raymondreid4987]

Asia, when he says he lonely but he never alone he is referring to the audience at his concert. Jon Bon Jovi has never cheated on his high school sweetheart whom he married and this song was written for her, just to let her know how much he loves her with all of his being.

[@laurat1720]

There are so many Bon Jovi songs that Jon wrote with his wife in mind and this is no exception. The song is with metaphors and not everything is what it seems. The mistress is another show and even though he's with thousands of people it doesn't mean hes not lonely. He wishes he was with her but the show must go on. Life of a rockstar. Love your reactions and song choices. Keep it up.❤

[@mariajesusfloresflores6924]

Jon tiene una maravillosa voz y sus composiciones son excelentes.

[@mariajesusfloresflores6924]

Mucho talento y belleza en un solo JBJ ❤

[@rjh862]

IDK y'all I don't know if this is their best most soulful heartfelt song. I'd have to go with ... " I'll be there for you"🎉

[@mollykeefe2870]

JBJ as we affectionately call him, is married still to his high school sweetheart, Dorothea- they have 5 kids. and he's been faithful forever. This song was about his love affair with being on the road.. and how much he loves and missed her.. it's the ultimate love song to her

[@cmontuori12865]

He's been with his high school sweetheart for 40 yrs. Awesome

[@mariajesusfloresflores6924]

Extraordinario cantante JBJ, poderosa voz y con mucha actitud en el escenario. Un grande ❤

I'm huge BJ fan but it just hit me right nów - Jon has roses and nails in his voice and that's why his ballads give me chills every time. Thanks for this reaction. Love from Poland ❤

[@nautika1]

Absolutely masterpiece one of my favourite song

[@sarablack2547]

His mistress is his music. When he says he won't be alone but no that doesn't mean he's not lonely.he means cause he's on stage in front of thousands of people but he's lonely cause his love isn't there. He's laying on a bed of nails cause he's laying alone without his love(his wife) A blonde woman fan offered her self to him he wavered for a second them laughed so much he thought he died.cause he wouldn't cheat on his love his wife. Not every guy is a dog asia.if you listen to it again knowing this maybe you'll get how much he loves his wife and lovely this song is. These lyrics are so well constructed.beautifully descripted and sung with great passion and emotion.

[@Jd-im4my]

One of my FAVS of his. Gets me everytime.❤❤ Check out, "I'll be there for You". Always a pleasure watching you guys.😘😘✌

[@Nicole_Jewell]

Let me help with the mistress part. In the line, "While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again," the "mistress" is the music industry and the live stage. The "spotlight" is the media. He calls music his "mistress" to show that it's a thrill, but something that perhaps isn't going to do him any good.

[@r.hunter5018]

I love love love this song!

[@susananderson1495]

One thing back in the days there were no cell phones or computers to see people. He says in this song a kings ransome he'd pay to see through this pay phone.

[@danmellen1423]

Keeping it with the hair. You guys should check out more White Lion. Little fighter Wait. When the children cry

[@reneerichter1263]

I adore this song ❤

[@thequiet1374]

They created the backdrop by using a helicopter and dropping the guitar player and piano player on top the mountain. Then when filming wrapped up the pilot said it had gotten too windy to get close to pick them up, they may have to repel down the mountain. Richie (guitar player) said screw that.... so the pilot made it happen. Lol

[@austindermody302]

I like what you guys said in the beginning about not have cue cards, that you right your script in your own heads. I might add, you don't need a teleprompter either lol! Great reaction guys.

[@carmenrafy]

Asia & BJ, I've been requesting (actually begging) for this song on other channels and nothing. But you guys made me so happy today reacting to my favorite song by Bonjovi. You guys totally rock and thank you for this reaction.

My favorite Bon Jovi song! 🛏🥀

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yessss! 🔥💝💙 His mistress IS the spotlight ASiA girl! ASiA don’t be playing! 🤣. No hiccups, all love and sweetness in this song. Church out their ballad “I’ll be there for you” and “Never say Goodbye.”

The guitar solo shot on top of an actual mountain by helicopter. The same helicopter that dropped Richie off at the top of the mountain. Back in those days they did not have green screen.

Ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none. My laughter scared the cat off the kitchen counter! :) :D

[@jimclayton6837]

It's all a metaphor. His mistress is the stage and touring, and the blonde that gives him nightmares is a fender stratocaster with a blonde finish (his favorite). Jon Bon Jovi has been with the same woman since high school.

Do you know I have to be honest why I enjoy yawls channel so much because you’re very respectful of the artist very into it to listen to something new and open minded for it and an honest reaction not acting all pumped up to try to get more views just being yourselves and that’s the most enjoyable part so keep up the great work

[@ashleyfanfic]

I recommend Blaze of Glory that he did for Young Guns II

[@JolineWhite-l1o]

I love your reaction just sitting and appreciating the beautiful song and that voice

[@davidgallistel2083]

Jon once said he's a "recovering Catholic." The line "I want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is," refers to his upbringing in Catholic school. At school dances you weren't allowed to get too close to your partner. You needed to leave room for the Holy Ghost.

The ‘mistress’ is the touring and the fans and the band in general. It’s a metaphor

I believe his “mistress” was the crowd of fans at the concert waiting for him to come entertain them, not an actual mistress.

john did his thing for a bit back in the 80's but came right back to his HS sweetheart Dorothea... and they've been married over 40 yrs with 5 children.

[@johnamadeusknight679]

Great reaction, my friends. Some of the scenes for this video were probably influenced (or vice versa) by the Cinderella video "Don't Know What You Got ('Til It's Gone" Please a review for that video/song. Cinderella and Skid Row were two bands that Jon Bon Jovi really helped early in their careers.
