[@missshirley9893]

I love this song. It was their 1st big hit.

[@ssRocker-nn3tp]

From their first and best album. Runaway is still my favorite song by them. When they were really rockin.

[@rhondamcbath6279]

Never even heard of this song!! I'm dead serious 😐. I've always considered Bon Jovi, White Snake, and many others during the big-hair band days all pretty much sounded all the same-just commercial bands and songs. Not distinctive, nor nothing to make them stand out! If you want to hear bands in this era, an absolute must is to hear those that sets them apart from the same type of sound and pretty much sounding all the same! I suggest that listening to bands that have a distinct lead singer and a sound all their own that when you hear that band there is no doubt whatsoever who you are listening to!! My all-time favorites are: Lover boy, April Wine, Triumph, Billy Squire, Journey, Gun's and Roses, Def Leppard, John Cougar-Melloncamp, and many other classics...not putting Bon Jovi down by no means, just my own opinion is all. Have a great day everyone 😉😉😉

[@ssRocker-nn3tp]

@@rhondamcbath6279 Triumph is one of my favorite bands of all time. I have all their albums. Great musicians, Great songs, Great albums. I also like Loverboy, April Wine, Journey and old Def Leppard. I,m not a fan of Bon Jovi. Their first album is the best. Whitesnake was a real good blues rock band in the 80s. Before they went more mainstream. And released their most succesful album in their career. 1987. But to be honest, i really like this album. Great songs and David Coverdale at his best. One of my favorite bands from the hair metal era is Dokken. They had a sound of their own. Great songs and a real good guitar player. George Lynch.

[@nosmoking9681]

@@rhondamcbath6279 That's blaintly obvious because of the time back then, Bon Jovi was one of the million bands that did the same thing in the glam metal - arena rock period from early 80s to late 80s.. Later on, when grunge appeared, they've changed and their catalogue was more diverse and interesting apart from the first four albums... Keep the Faith, These Days, Crush, Lost Highway - all of these mentioned albums prove my point and that's way Bon Jovi cemented their place in rock history and why were they different and still successful today. Many bands that stayed w glam metal roots don't exist nowadays or fill small arenas. Have a nice day.

[@TheCreamRises]

This song was recorded before Bon Jovi was a band. It was just Jon Bon Jovi and studio musicians. Tim Pierce who is a legendary studio musician did all the guitar on this song. He has a KZbin channel and talks about the making of this song. You all should check it out.

[@kurtsaxton823]

And when they did create Bon Jovi. John was the only one with a record contract, he was smart, made the rest of the band filthy rich but had complete control.

[@auralfixxation6702]

Tim Pierce is an amazing player. I watch his KZbin channel all the time.

[@lantose]

@@auralfixxation6702 Yes, he is amazing, and probably the most humble man you’ll ever meet! When I subscribed to his channels years ago, he had less than 5k subscribers and I’m loving that his channel has grown so well and took lessons from him for about a year. That was a phenomenal guitar solo on this song and after watching almost every video he’s made, you can really see him playing that due to all his nuances. Have a great day!

[@thequiet1374]

Hugh played bass yes?

[@lantzkeefer6]

Didn't know that 👍

[@TF-lk6co]

For me, the dark lyrics add to the heaviness of the song. This and Wanted Dead or Alive are my favorites from Bon Jovi.

[@TheConservativeinaction]

me to. 100% agreed

[@stevenanderson7461]

There best album was 7800 Fahrenheit

[@loristone9242]

I love that song In and Out of Love from that record. The video is hilarious and so awesome.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

@@loristone9242 Nice! That's my fav!

[@csblame]

If you like dark side of Bon Jovi, if you haven’t listened to These Days album then you need to listen to that album. It’s a completely different album from everything they have ever put out.

[@Sannoz]

I remember hearing this song the first time in 83/84 on a Iron Maiden concert and BonJovi was the opening band! This was BonJovi's song that made them get noticed ❤️🤟Thanks for the reaction 🙏

[@nitro_001newman2]

Yep, for me it was the following year opening for the Scorpions in Los Angeles. This was still their only big song that I recognized. Slippery When Wet didn’t come out yet. Def Leppard’s Pyromania still ruled the charts.

[@chriswildhaber35]

I seen them in 84 open for the scorps Love at first sting tour

[@chriswildhaber35]

That's what catapulted them toeing with my favorite band scorpions , Jon bon Jovi even said that in many interviews

[@dougkitten8043]

@@nitro_001newman2 Saw them as well opening for Scorps in San Diego! Runaway was their hit and was the last song of the set. Great song! Also, Scorpions recorded much of their live album from the San Diego show. "Do you see the microphones in the air?"

[@karlsmith2570]

RIP Alec John Such

[@bluenotebigbends]

Just remember reading their original bassist 'Alec John Such' died. I loved his bass playing...like the riff in 'keep the faith' and actually the whole record of the same name.

[@heatnationwpb]

This album, 7800° Fahrenheit, came out in 85 & they hadn't quite found their own lane yet. They were still borrowing heavily from other "safe" pop rock bands of the era, like Loverboy & Survivor - but with the added sex appeal of Billy Squire. The synth here even reminds me of Journey a bit. You could tell they were onto something, but still kind of all over the place stylistically. But then, just ONE year later, they released their worldwide smash Slippery When Wet, which was certified DIAMOND in both the US (12M sold) & CAN (10M). Multi-platinum sales also in AUS (6M), UK (3M), SWI (2M), and Platinum just about everywhere else!

[@Osprey850]

This is from their 1984 debut album "Bon Jovi," but I agree that they hadn't yet found their sound on either of those first two albums of theirs. I think that Bruce Fairbairn (the producer that they switched to for Slippery When Wet) deserves a huge amount of credit for helping them find that sound. Every song on Slippery When Wet and New Jersey was so slickly produced (perhaps too slickly produced for fans of raw, non-studio-sounding rock, but not for me).

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

This is still my favorite song from them along with She Don't Know Me from the same album.

[@Sannoz]

That one is great also, the first 2 albums was different then what they became later! I preferred the old style of those 2 albums ❤️🤟

[@faiz7180]

@@Sannoz the first 2 albums is absolutely amazing.

[@charlesfitzgerald9631]

Exactly….

[@MaRoach7]

My favorite is off this album too. Shot Through The Heart not to be confused with You Give Love A Bad Name. This album was 🔥. Probly my favorite one although I loved them all

[@showtime4243]

Very underrated song by Bon Jovi !! Great reaction ! This was their 1st hit and it is a great upbeat song !! It is hard to listen to and not move in one way of the other…either dancing , air drums, air guitars or whatever you do !!

[@frankrizzo4460]

Saw them so many times back in the 80s and 90s they really put on a great show.

[@David-cr3pt]

Bon Jovi’s bass player passed away yesterday. RIP Alec John Such!

[@mistersniffer6838]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayuuum!!!!

[@OneEyedJack1970]

He hit me in the forehead with a pick he threw out into the audience at a concert back in the '80s. RIP, dude.

[@jonsebouhian2158]

Rip,just a legend

[@adamsherry1484]

This was the SONG that MADE Bon Jovi! It was their FIRST release. Jon ended up driving to local RADIO STATIONS and asking the DJ's to play it. It became the most requested song on more than one of the radio stations and lead to their recording contract!

[@judyseeley5284]

R.I.P. Alec John Such, thank you for all your awesome bass playing during your time in Bon Jovi's band

[@PatissaPA]

oh those old 80s .... I miss em ❤️

[@sonofsam9060]

RIP Alex John Such.

[@cluneyc]

Never been a fan of the 'metalic' sounding bands but I loved this song, still do

[@bdmention]

Their original bass player, Alec John Such (in this video), passed away yesterday.

[@FrankZen]

I've always thought the arrangement on this song is incredible! I'm not even a Bon Jovi fan. Living on a Prayer is one of my favorites baselines too.

[@Markyajv]

The song that started it off!!!

[@YManCyberDude]

This was not one of their bigger hits but I think was their best tune by far . . .

[@klasseact6663]

"In and out of love" is a pretty good tune too! As anti-Bon Jovi as I was by the mid to late 90's I've learned to appreciate this more because rock and roll is dead...RIP😞

[@brettkenschaft4239]

That's my favorite from them too!!

[@kennethgoin628]

This whole first album is "different Bon Jovi vibe" and I wish they could have done more music under this construction/design. However, this could be considered "transitional 70s/80s rock" and would therefore need to change to stay with the times. "She Don't Know Me" is another great song from this album release. RIP Alec Jon Such.

[@seanof30306]

The story I recall is John was working at a recording studio as a gofor and janitor. He was very humble and would bend over backwards to help, no matter what was asked of him. All the musicians liked him. He showed a few of them this song he'd written and they got together to help him record it for free. John took the demo around to all the New York and New Jersey radio stations, trying to get anyone to listen. One of the stations, WAPP (The Apple) had a contest for unsigned talent. Runaway won the contest, got airplay, Mercury Records took notice and Bongiovi got a record deal.

[@sixslinger9951]

RIP to Bon Jovi's founding member bass player Alec John Such who just passed away at age 70.

[@MNDrummer]

The song that made Bon Jovi a household name

[@Claimjumper55]

Tim Pierce, on guitar, knocked this one out of the park; especially that awesome solo!

[@lanceobe6801]

I seen them when they were unknown at the Texas jam when I was 15 years old I'm 53 now. The Texas jam had lots of bands and they were one of the first ones to play, this is probably my favorite bon Jovi song and I can tell Lex seems to be in to both the song and John bon Jovi...lol

[@foofghtr]

Bonjovi was playing the heck outta Philly at the time. They got my friends band Cinderella signed. Jeff LaBarr their lead guitarist taught me a lot of stuff. He worked at Caruso’s Sound Eden Garden Studio for his boss Dennis Caruso in Upper Darby.

[@TheConservativeinaction]

My favorite bon jovi song. Runaway is amazing. Its off his debut. Wanted dead or alive is my second favorite song by him. Bad medicine for the next bon jovi song.

[@jamesbangert7284]

Jon Bonjovi has always been a very socially conscious person. He's a credit to our species.

[@sammyholloway334]

This was the first Bon Jovi I ever heard,, and is still my favorite Bon Jovi song.

[@jodygreen858]

My first concert ever, 7th grade 1987, Slippery When Wet Tour, Cinderella opened up for them. Been a rock fan every since!

[@kennethgoin628]

Caught that same tour down in Phoenix, AZ. Great show!

[@markbray7007]

Saw the same concert in San Jose

[@angelacash1194]

Saw Bon Jovi at Monsters of Rock at Donnington in the UK in 1987. They are great live.

[@MundoDragon]

One of the few Bon Jovi songs I actually like.

[@lucamarcellino2649]

Try tumbling dice rolling stones really soulfull

[@Danimal77]

You guys should check out the song "Only Lonely" from their follow-up album. It's just as good imo. As is the song "Shot Through The Heart" not to be confused with their other song "You Give Love a Bad Name"

[@danieltrickey9285]

Bon Jovi never disappoints. Always good songs, guitar, beats, vocals and leads.

[@brandimodrak461]

I have been listening to them since the 70's. I love this band. Please show more 🙏❤. Much love to you and your family's. Brandi Modrak 💕

[@hanklutcavich2468]

Because it was first album Bon Jovi. Awesome reaction guys.

[@lantose]

Great reaction team Brad and Lex! Tim pierce on guitar, what a stud! He’s been a session guitarist since the 80’s and has a great KZbin channel for anyone interested in guitar, lessons and many great stories including the making of this song. He was the lead guitarist for Rick Springfield and knows just about everyone in LA, playing on thousands of songs for just about anyone you’ve heard of!

[@joelhammond4162]

He may have done sessions for Rick Springfield, not sure, but I know for his first big album with Jessie’s Girl, it was Neil Geraldo. Pat Benetar’s guitarist and husband, not Tim. It’s not unusual to have different session musicians for different tracks on the same album, so that is possible too. I know Rick wanted to play it himself but the producer brought Neil instead. Neil plays the bass on Jessie’s Girl too and Rick plays some keys.

[@lantose]

@@joelhammond4162 Tim toured with Rick for four years all over the world and they are best of friends, and also played almost every guitar part for his albums too. I am familiar with Neil as Tim did a video with him as they are good friends also and regarded him as one of the best guitarist he’s ever known; and it’s quite obvious when you listen to him play on all of Pat’s songs. He married Pat fairly early in her career if I’m not mistaken.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

Lex, you always have the prettiest smile. I lost my Lex (Lexsie, my daughter) on March 9, 2023. 😔 She was just 29. This will be my first Christmas without her.

Man I loved this song when it came out!!! We just got a satellite dish, mind you they were as big as a government issued one now, but we could get MTV now. They played actual music videos then. I fell in love with Bon Jovi!!!!

[@VictorHernandez-dd5ls]

Hey Yall, Shout out to the south! I love this song and lyrically it's sad but maybe for me sonically there is hope !! I've always loved when Ritchie Sambora would come in on backup vocals and would sing in a higher octave !

[@frankiebanali4202]

This is by far my favorite Bon Jovi song.

[@jayjacobosky7047]

I enjoy you guys a lot. You're such pleasant people! It's truly appreciated! ☺️👍👍

[@thomasmacgruber6701]

My wife and I use this song to shovel snow, the beat is easy to move to.

[@faiz7180]

The first 2 albums which is Bon Jovi (1984) and 7800 Fahrenheit (1985) is absolutely amazing. It has a "darker" sound especially 7800. I'd recommend Only Lonely and The Hardest Part is the night from that album. Bed of Roses from them is also a must listen. P/s: Rest in Peace Alec John Such. He was the bassist of Bon Jovi in the video.

[@valf208]

I saw Bon Jovi open for .38 Special when Slippery When Wet was first released. Great concert.

[@Trifler500]

Just FYI, if you weren't aware, electronic keyboards were not capable of making piano sounds in the 80's, which is why they were called "synthesizers". As technology advanced and they became able to replicate a true piano sound, they started calling them electronic/electric keyboards.

Love this from my early childhood

[@EgoChip]

I absolutely love Bon Jovi. Just like Iron Maiden, they are amazing story tellers. This is easily my top 3 favourite song of theirs.

[@kennethgoin628]

A friend of mine, Dennis Lind Beery, got to meet and work with Jon and Richie a little bit. His band "Mariah" was being considered for their first, independent label signing. Unfortunately, the label never materialized, and they were dropped, but as Dennis was helping my band on a demo recording, he always talked about how Jon revealed his secret for songwriting and basically, it was "make it a story". I don't know if any of Mariah's demos are still floating around out there (they're expensive if you find them because they're highly collectible) but if you ever get a chance to hear some of their music, you'll wonder how they never got signed. The group included Jimmy Dillelah from Tyketo on keys and Johnny B of Britney Fox on the drums. Dennis was the lead vocal, and his younger brother worked in my band for a few years. I think there are club videos of Mariah on KZbin, "Whirlwind" and "Heaven and Earth".

[@mournblade1066]

Please don't tell me you just equated Bon Jovi with Iron Maiden.

[@EgoChip]

@@mournblade1066 Why not? They are both great bands with great songwriting and lead singers.
