Bon Jovi - Only Lonely (RARE 80s Solid Gold Performance)

[@Exi_T.]

Gold times, gold images, gold songs, gold boys and gold band. So verdant. They don't even know here how long they will stay on top and go through the several generations of fans. Bon Jovi forever!

[@rockmatersforeverallnitean3210]

If we could turn back in time I would like to live in the 80’s forever

[@altairdasilva7490]

R.I.P great Alec 😞😞

[@Luvnlife880]

He was gorgeous back then and he's still gorgeous

[@ReneeB5]

What a gorgeous man. He had/has such a unique voice. Talented, smart, driven, hard working. He & Richie made magic happen. ❤️ Jon sure made my heart skip beats back in the day... I still watch / listen to his stuff all the time .

[@USAHeartbeat]

Couldn't agree more!

[@evianagnostopoulou7480]

Ditto. Adore them and adore this man.

[@francesgosch8038]

I hope they've kept all their cool clothes from all their wonderful years of music.

[@deefolpp813]

This his how I remember them ,❤❤❤

[@wildimpo]

I heard they didn't like this album, I think it rocks!

[@bluematrix5001]

I love the first two records, solid songs in a way darker songs but catchy and great....and all exploded with the third album Slippery when Wet!

[@krisniemczuk3452]

Good song. They had no idea how big they would become, back then.

[@all4Hisgloryalone2Tim215]

Their first 2 albums was their best sound

[@alangary9893]

Hell yeah I concur with U

[@julianocardarelli5106]

What about the thirdy? The thirdy bring us successes like Livin' On A Prayer, Dead Or Alive, You Give Love a Bad Name, Never Say Goodbye...

[@RadeMusic]

I agree, I wish they would play some of their lesser known early songs, just look at Jon dance! Love it :)

[@TheJennylynn1990]

I wish Jon move like that for circle tour back in 2010. He was normally holding onto the mic

[@griwilout]

Great song. I wish they'd play it more in their shows these days but there's only so many songs they can fit into 2 1/2 or 3 hours and they have sooo many great songs!

[@mill89027]

LoveistheOnlyRule Jon hates this record ....he talked about on actor studio ....but I love this record thus record made me Luke them

[@mariaaguila577]

[@dorinaarmioni8540]

MAGNIFIC! So YOUNG, SO TALENTED, SO BEAUTIFUL!...the Members of the OLD JOVI BAND!🥰😇👏❣ THANK YOU VERY MUCH!😊

[@TexasDove68]

If they only knew then how big they would become. I have followed them from debut and a true Joviholic

[@dandirindina]

I totally agree: they were hungry and angry, thant's what is missing now!

[@javtimestwo]

LOL, you have got to be kidding me. bands that sell hundreds of millions of albums and sell out arenas/stadiums for 30 years won't get hungry again. IMPOSSIBLE! so let's all feel fortunate we got to witness BJ before and after their well earned success.

[@jowilliams9984]

Another great song. And J. Bon jovi- superb as always!😍😍❤❤💥💥

[@svetlanamitrakov9879]

[@ryanblackston6476]

I like him 😂😂😂 when he was younger

[@survivrs]

I hadn't seen this til now and they sound a lot like Journey here. Too bad Journey wasn't around 30 years later as well. Gotta love Bon Jovi!!

[@garyjones9228]

Journey doesn't sound like old bon jovi maybe now bon jovi sounds like Journey because they gave up on the hard rock and now r just soft rock .I hadn't been a fan of theirs since keep the faith after that disc they changed too much

[@gustavogomesdossantos5599]

Minha banda favorita ótima musica perfeita desde 1984 quando eu tinha 14 anos de idade já curtia bon Jovi e sempre vou curtir bon Jovi show de bola

[@marisolvaldez7173]

[@kimgow7671]

[@jowilliams9984]

Does not look like my comment was registered. So here goes again. Great song-- makes one think and not only listen.

[@samjacme3141]

They need to add this back in their set

[@bluesman7865]

SAM JACME They did

[@samjacme3141]

Maybe in 1 show of the entire tour... Not consistently

[@bluesman7865]

SAM JACME it was the circle Tour

[@samjacme3141]

That was a ways ago

[@USAHeartbeat]

@griwilout That is VERY true!

[@solarxknight7953]

yeah this is playback, but its cuz tv shows force it

[@deefolpp813]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@heidikarns5666]

AWEEEEE

[@denisedonaldson8044]

at 1:47 did Jon get zapped with the mic? You can see his touch his lip and kinda spazz out lol.

[@sylvester474]

Album audio, could only be solid gold.

REVIEW OF THE BON JOVI SONG 'ONLY LONELY' FROM THE ALBUM 7800' FAHRENHEIT. REVIEW BY DANIEL THOMAS ANDREW DALY: (This is my seventh review of songs from 7800' Fahreneheit, and the prior six reviewed in order were 1) Secret Dreams, 2) King of the Mountain, 3) Always Run to You, 4) (I Don't Wanna Fall) To the Fire, 5) The Price of Love & 6) The Hardest Part is the Night. It's obviously Rocky himself. Obviously. As he is out there, running along the streets of Philadelphia, that famous anthem playing, you hear it in every part of it. Only lonely was, as the whole 7800 album was, recorded at the Warehouse in Philadelphia, the same hometown for the Rocky movies. And the spirit of Philadelphia and Rocky runs all throughout this song, as it does throughout the album to a degree. But more than that - it is a hero's song and, again, more than that - heroes song. The video has all 5 members battling crime elements, for the heart of a lady, and the passion and intensity of that video, in my own opinion, could be reconstructed into its own movie as well, such being the strength of the storyline of the video. Only Lonely was one of the singles of Fahrenheit, and while, like the other singles, failed to reach any dizzying heights of chart success, it mattered not. It was a competitor from an emerging bunch of rockers, full of passion, full of life, and with an edge which suits the panache and style we know so well in the bois from joisey. It is hard rock in many ways as, at that time, rock and roll was usually a bit softer a sound than its current 2015 proteges. Even pop today has an edge which might have practically been called hard rock back in the day. Things have progressed in music - not so much heavier, really - but more passionate - more intense - more competitive. So, in that sense, this song, in its day, with its obvious rock and roll upbeat style which we would call it in this day and age, was hard rock back then and Bon Jovi were linked into the heavy metal scene somewhat, with shows at big metal fests. Today, is it dated? Has only lonely softened and gone off to the wellpool of long forgotten hits which no longer give out that buzz the modern music listener so much craves. Not entirely. In fact, listening to an Iron Maiden track from the 80s the other day, I sort of feel that this area of 80s music - passionate hard rock/metal - has the kind of musicality in it that has the potential of genuine chart success in terms of top 40 popularity today. Music has grown in passion, so the heavy stuff from years ago, which only the devil's own were often associated as to the listening of, is practically mainstream today. Or maybe that is one soul's personal observation. Only lonely holds up. It's not dated yet, nor is the album in any great respect and, if in time, it manages to exude that magical quality of musical excellence which has kept the likes of Mozart and Beethoven in vogue for centuries, then the glories of Bon Jovi's second platter will be played and loved for years to come yet. I love the passion of the track most of all and, apart from that, it is a genuine enough early hit from the band. It's strong, musical and likeable. The video compliments the song greatly and, something I have noticed about the album in recent plays even more, the more you listen to 7800 over a long time, the more and more you actually start liking the album. It is really one of those classics, which has genuine quality, which can continue to grow on you with repeated listens. There are bigger Bon Jovi anthems and, true, the heyday of the album I suppose has come and gone, but Only Lonely has that simple class of a classic rock track and, for lovers of fine music and cool rock and roll, it's sill one worth putting on the turntable, or into the tape or CD drive, and enjoy for a while yet. 9 out of 10.

[@ItsJustMe135]

around 1:46 you will see Jon get his lip BBQ'd by the mic lol.

[@luna945]

We all thought Solid Gold was the coolest. Little did we know they were lip synching to their records. Still loved it.

[@ryanblackston4376]

1985

[@alisterfolson]

What happened to this bassist? Did he quit or was he let go?

[@notactuallyhanna]

Alec was kicked out in 1994 i think...idk why exactly tho

[@justina9137]

Good old lip sync tv back in the day

[@kaylaschulz2277]

When you only see what you want to see you lose it

[@lcf-cfu]

i think it is a playback though....

[@brandonvandelden7972]

Obvious lip synching

[@EFCONNECT]

@@brandonvandelden7972 I think Solid Gold had all performers lip sync

[@northernlights9637]

Why did shows like this have bands lip sync to the original recorded tracks. It's so obvious.

[@Jermusicislife84]

It's too bad they're lip-syncing. I believed it like everyone else, THEN I saw them in Toronto with Cinderella, WOW, what an I opener. Live music is so loud and powerful. Bad John could really sing live, UNLESS he was just burnt out by the time I saw them

[@hruaiaalexi1213]

This is not lip sync..They dubbed as studio album

[@mikemc5221]

Yes it is.

[@nataliejones8308]

he sounds like it was the audio

[@ultimatemanspeech]

Jon is a sweet voice?

[@garysanders4310]

I grew up watching Solid Gold on TV, I never saw this one, and it is the worst lip syncing I have ever seen. Love the 80's.

[@luna945]

I think it was pretty good

[@AirianaBard]

Seems legit...

[@BERO17071991]

sounds exactly like studio version. definitely lip-syncing

[@jedimaster7953]

Bero1707 wow you really know your music ......... Genius

[@samuelcheng7422]

thank you, sherlock

[@bluesman7865]

Back at that time everybody performed Playback

[@monalisahughes2947]

Bad Boy

[@battlemore]

This is obviously lip sync, television networks can't set up the musical shit or they don't want to pay the expensive price so they force performers and bands to lip sync rather than make them perform how they want it to be, so this isn't a gold performance. Just listen to the album version if you want to hear the gold performance.

[@kaylaschulz2277]

When you ignore it you lose it

[@jflemmingjr]

memorex

[@JamieRushing27]

Obvious lip syncing but I love this song

[@DTBAMPSPC]

@andxiao They suck at playback

[@임성태-d2c]

립싱크인데 완벽하게😊

[@tilenjk02]

Well, this is not live lol.

[@jesspack7948]

i was thinking the same thing, but who cares :) right?

[@kaylaschulz2277]

He's the loser not me

[@sophianovrocki296]

lip syncing?

[@AirianaBard]

Sophia Novrocki precisely! If you watch their music videos, you can tell it’s lip synced. In the live version it would sound less professional and legit.

[@MedmanMr]

playback

[@alejandrorodriguez-do7rj]

Foreigner ? Survivor? Journey?

[@theskarupas6038]

Not sure he is singing all that passionately...he's lip synching :)

[@xyz-kc4fx]

They're definitely lip-syncing.

[@BatoBoss1]

Playback

[@scottdavidson7001]

Ahhhh no no no! What they doin! They just fucked up rock and roll for me! Btw....he has not been able to sing good since about 1997. It is what it is. Saw them in 92 and they were great! Saw them in 2004 i was disappointed tremendously.

[@Queretonix]

lip sync...

[@lisaroncevic7706]
