One of my all times favorite groups I still listen to this these days. Any true fans I'm sure still do.

[@lor1417]

My favorite Bon Jovi song!!! Doesn't get any better than this .especially the song's 'introduction'....In the opening bars of "Livin' on a Prayer," when Sambora's guitar almost seems to be saying "a whoa whoa, a whoa whoa," that's actually Richie Sambora shaping his guitar's notes into "whoa" sounds using his mouth.

[@annabinksy1694]

One of the ULTIMATE anthems from the 80's!!!!

[@lindastarr4699]

Jamel, I think that I speak for many of your viewers when I say, We Love You! The joy and comfort you have brought to all of us during this time. Keep the faith and stay strong!

[@shawnski001]

If it were possible, I would take you back to the day when this song came out, Jamel, and show you how much fun we were having dancing and partying to this song! It.... was.... GLORIOUS! Have a great day!

[@IMZAH]

I can 100% back this up. Teens at the time were losing their minds with this song cranked up to 11 on a daily basis! And here, in 2020, it's considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

[@ajclements4627]

The late '80s. Best time of my life. Song will never get old.

[@TheOleander71]

My husband made me late to one of their concerts when I was 6 months pregnant, and when we got to our seats the girl next to me said: "You just missed Jon, he just flew over (on his harness) next to your seat and sang a song. The look I gave my husband....

[@TheDivayenta]

Jon is even handsomer now if that’s possible! He has a free restaurant in Jersey for poor people. His Dad, Mr Bongiovi , styled his hair!

Great band with an even better frontman. Jon Bon Jovi is a great man. Even runs a restaurant for the homeless.

[@Jillyconjem]

Several. He’s truly great. 💜

[@DragonflyenAmber]

These guys are just as awesome live, I've seen them as a customer and as someone working a venue and they never disappoint. The last concert of theirs I went to they did FIVE encores. They just kept coming back for us. It was also obvious that even after 30+ yrs they still love what they do and the audience could feel it. Love them!!

[@shannonbragg6685]

Saw them April 3rd 1987.... I was only 12 but it was a rocking show! My 3rd live concert! Thanks for the memories!

[@colinvandenberg3446]

The key change at the end of this song always gets me. Please do Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive."

[@brianrollo8180]

Coincidentally, Bon Jovi actually has a song (and album) titled "Keep The Faith." You'd like it.

[@DaP84]

A really awesome song!

I just asked for Dry County probably my fav track by them.

i remember being in 5th grade singing this song with my best friend playing tetherball on the playground. simpler times man

[@chrisf8855]

One of the all-time great rock songs....without a doubt (as Garth would say). I didn't fully appreciate Bon Jovi when they were at their peak but a few years later I realized their greatness. This song is best enjoyed AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!!!!....but please don't bother your neighbors or others....be courteous and considerate.

[@davidcohen4536]

This song has become the anthem of Bon Jovi. Audiences react and become part of the band during the chorus. Great song. A classic.

That sound was the "voicebox" we've heard in many songs. Just used as an accent instead of forming words like Frampton did with it.

1986. I'm ten years old. My best friend is SO excited as he tells me about this music video that's in black in white until the singer "kicks" (ok it was a knee but TVs weren't that good back then!) and it goes to color and how I have to see it. And he was right. This was a jam.

[@doobiedave9686]

A couple of other good rockers from Bon Jovi are Wanted Dead Or Alive from this album and Lay Your Hands On Me from Bon Jovi's New Jersey album.

[@stephaniewhite7512]

[@andreabindolini7452]

And with a so good message.

[@robertcutting4007]

That sound on the guitar is one your favorite things, the tube! Absolutely 80s

[@tripaffleck]

I was 24 when this came out; it was directly in the CENTER of my wheel house. we had Barracks Anthems while i was in the military, and this is one where everyone in the barracks knew all the words; you could hear us out on the road. great band. great musician. 35 years later he's still performing like it was the 80s, except with a hair cut.

[@Rainyman63]

That ua-ua- u-u-ua sound is the guitar player Richie Sambora who uses a Talk Box. The guitar signal goes into a tiny speaker that is connected to a tube. The other end of the tube is close to the Mic Richie uses for singing (he is an outstanding singer, by the way, does most of the background and harmony voices). Riche plays guitar with the tube in his mouth while he sings. That makes the guitar sound like it‘s talking. Peter Frampton (do you feel like we do / show me the way) and Joe Walsh use this effect a lot, too.

[@pamcoyer9582]

OMG..... they look sooo young. I used to love this song and BON JOVI always had great music.

[@russellward4624]

“What is that?” That’s called a talk box. It filters your voice similar to a whaw whaw pedal. It was made famous by Peter F4ampton.

[@kabluey_louie1718]

There's something about 80s music, doesn't matter who the band is, but it makes you feel so alive! I LOVE 80s music

[@dsusan17]

I love Bon Jovi! Thank you for your reactions. Jon did a duet with LeAnn Rimes. Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore. Great song.

[@gerardroll6468]

This was the very first song of theirs I ever heard while on holidays in the US “back in the day” & I was instantly “hooked” 🤘😝. Jamel... This was typical of the 80’s.... BIG hair, BIG outfits & wild ass rock 🤘😜🤘

[@deborahorwig465]

The device used for the vocalization is called a talk box. Worth your time to look it up! I'm glad you enjoyed this song!

Love this band live! I've seen them on five different times in my life, equally awesome every time.

Lost Boys is one of the greatest movies ever, with one of the best soundtracks ever. Lol.

[@wayfarer4578]

Gotta do Wanted Dead or Alive! Great Bon Jovi song

[@mikecaetano]

Bon Jovi released "Livin' on a Prayer" as a single on October 31, 1986. The Lost Boys was released on July 31, 1987. So yeah, some stunt tech overlap there most likely.

[@databyss]

This song is played every night in every club/bar in New Jersey, and everybody sings along.

[@CorrineSunQueen]

Holy Flashback! I saw them outside of DC over 30 years ago. What you can't see or hear in this video is the sound of women screaming. Now Bon Jovi can bang. I was on the floor and could barely hear them. OMG, the screaming! It was insane !

[@tracygalley8713]

My little sister was a huge Bon Jovi fan. I remember helping her study for vocabulary tests by setting the definitions to the tune of Bon Jovi songs. She got really good grades on those tests.

[@clarksmith5308]

You dated yourself. Lost Boys is my favorite soundtrack. And this is one of my favorite cassettes. And yes I aged myself. (I also had 8 tracks)

[@VKrulikoski]

Yay! Bon Jovi!

[@onielelder9654]

“Bed of Roses”...and a real early Bon Jovi song...”She Don’t Know Me”.

[@Tabris93]

As a long-time Bon Jovi-fan, "She Don't Know me" is one of the few songs that BJ themselves didn't write. So even though it's a cool song, it's not really fitting for someone getting to know the group. "Bed of Roses", however, is a gem. One of their best songs, in my opinion.

[@stevenmedaugh5289]

She don't know me as well as roulette are me favorite songs but most won't even remember them lol

[@bookwoman53]

Hi. I was ten when this song came out. I have always liked Richie Sambora . He plays lead guitar and sings with the talk box on this one. He’s a truly talented singer and musician.

[@meboy76]

Seen this band bunch times live in concert so many great songs icon legends and this such great video also man 70s and 80s were so amazing so glad I was born mid 70s grew up 80s .80s had a mix of everything so many lengandry bands singers guitarist rappers rock pop R&B soul jazz you name it we had it 80s was so creative and amazing so many different kinds music we were on overload of so many icons divas etc etc sam so glad I went to so many concerts and seen many same bands many times like every year the came to massachussettes or other places close id see them many times.

My favorite Bon Jovi song of all!

[@sharonjoan1970]

❤😍❤Bon Jovi so many memories I Loved his song Blaze of Glory from his first solo lp, he also had a cameo in the movie Young Guns 2 which featured the song and the Lost Boys is my All Time Favorite Movie...Great Soundtrack. Shout out to him and Dorothea's happily ever after ❤ High School Sweethearts still going strong...

[@ryanhaywood6827]

Seen Bon Jovi in 86/87 when I was in the Navy. Thank you. Try doing some April Wine- like to rock, Sign of the gypsy queen, and just between you and me. They are a great band from late 70's. Keep up with the great job you do for all of us

[@marcieharreld286]

Bon Jovi got us through LIFE!!!!

[@kennethsword551]

Jersey band. Richie Sambora is underrated. Talk box on guitar ... when you asked "what was that?"

[@binkle76]

that opening sound is Richie Sambora using a Vocoder. Peter Frampton used one on Do You Feel (Like I Do) and Joe Perry uses one at the beginning of Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion. Its basically an electrified voice box that works in tandem with the guitar.

[@axltyler]

The sound being made at the beginning of the song is being produced by a talk box. It's an effects unit with a tube that the guitarist puts in his mouth, usually by a microphone, and using the cavity of his mouth, shapes the sound content of the note coming from the guitar, thus in this song, the verbal "whoa, whoa, whoa" riff.

[@DevilzFan]

Bon Jovi has had a long career for a reason. Their most recent album, titled 2020, is phenomenal. I need to see people start reacting to the song off the album "American Reckoning", it's one of the most lyrically powerful songs Jon has written.

[@stevebrien1041]

This song will make you move and make you sing. Its become a classic

[@chromaticblue3976]

Bon Jovi is out here still rocking it too. Just last year he released another album named 2020. One of my favorite songs from it is "Brothers in Arms".

[@thegingergyrl455]

Yes! Bon Jovi was the soundtrack of a great part of my life. Dead or Alive is my very favorite though. ✌🏻👏🏻👍🏻. Well this came out in 1986 and the Lost Boys came out in 1987. So it’s the times, baby...lol. Everybody sings along to this song. I loved your reaction. Yes!

[@patriciastewart2239]

Yeah, seriously, any videos you can watch, no matter what bands, are so worth it. So so so so so so a million

Lost Boys was a awesome epic movie and this is a awesome epic song from my teen years. Don't get better than a teen in 80s 💗🎶

[@Islendingar]

One of the first bands that I totally obsessed over !!! I could play all the guitar and bass parts for this album (Slippery When Wet) 7800 Fahrenheit and Bon Jovi ..... also got the others as they were released too ...... seen them live over 400 times to date !!! You need to check out Never Say Goodbye, You Give Love A Bad Name, Raise Your Hands...... then These Days, Born To Be My Baby, Silent Night, Only Lonely, Lay Your Hands On Me, Dry County, Keep The Faith, Ill Sleep When I’m Dead, Have A Nice Day, This House Is Not For Sale..... the current single from 2020 Do What You Can too ..... there are so many others but this is a good starter

[@cathyk9302]

Road trip songs, like Born To Run, some songs were meant to be sung loud as you’re driving fast! Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life was always the favorite.

[@chipdamutt108]

"You live for the fight when that's all that you've got." Been there.

Saw them twice in concert and they were such a entertaining band♡

[@robertanderson2355]

This was released during my senior year of high school. Magical times. I quickly got burned out on this song as it was overplayed. You Give Love a Bad Name was released before this. They went on an incredible run from here. An earlier song of theirs called "Runaway" still hits hard for me.

[@TheC.O.-VISIT]

It's called a talk box, it's a guitar pedal that runs through the amp to your microphone

[@Trish0871]

He must have forgotten that because he already talked about that once when he did a reaction to Peter Frampton.

[@TheC.O.-VISIT]

@Maria Ramirez honestly I'm not sure. Guitar Center stores may have them, but you probably have to order it online because I haven't seen them in stores.

One song I love from Bon Jovi is Never Say Goodbye. I would also suggest Runaway. Both are great Bon Jovi songs.
