Celebrity True or False: Jon Bon Jovi’s CRAZY Michael Jackson Story & More | The Rich Eisen Show

[@tonkatrucker]

I had the immense pleasure of sitting with Bon Jovi and his band in Vancouver @ the Granville Cinema- where the "debut" of Basic Instinct was playing. They were up there, recording, and took a break to go see the movie. They sat right in front of us.. ( not knowing at this point)...and I griped.. sitting behind all that " hair". They laughed..and we moved up in front of them. They chatted and we talked... after the movie. Real gentlemen... all of them.

[@simonholland8500]

So Jon admits that HUGH (not Alec) came up with the baseline for LOAP! Knew it all along, so smooth 🙂

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

A.J.S. was a better touring bassist than a studio bassist.

[@jameskrieger2855]

It’s nice after 37 years hearing him give Hugh McDonald the credit for that iconic bass line. Hugh was in the shadows playing bass on every album from Slippery on… About time people knew.

[@Robil63]

Hugh knew?

[@MNWILD43]

That was a great interview, Rich. I wish it was longer.

[@Ishai1]

The interview was longer, this is just the true or false segment

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

Full interview is already uploaded u just gotta watch it

[@benjaminharriesPR]

Hugh McDonald came up with the bass line for Living on a Prayer. Confirmed!

[@shlepmessing8703]

Hugh played every base line on every record. Alec was a mess.

[@RAINE____]

One of the only times I've seen him relaxed and laughing. Good interview, he's pretty funny !

[@AM_9924]

Michael Jackson was another level of fame. Great story.

[@cromy1778]

MJJ was so incredibly famous that anybody associated with him (i.e. Bubbles) became "A list" superstars. Let that one sink in.

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

Whacko Jacko also diddled little boys and paid off the families to avoid jail time. Let that sink in

[@jag5014]

He seems very down to earth. In his recent appearance on Kimmel, Jimmy also asked him about his debut on a Star Wars Christmas album, his initial dissatisfaction with the Living on a Prayer song, and the Bubbles story, and he was just as engaged describing it here even though he's probably been asked a million times about it over the years.

[@MikeH_41-33_LII]

This was awesome.

[@DailyDoseofDerkie]

My go-to song is Runaway by Bon Jovi and the entire bar back in 2007 to 2015 would explode in applause! Big fun

[@simonbarre-brisebois4684]

Great story about Michael Jackson. Thank you for sharing it to us, Bon Jovi. By the way, KZbinrs who wants to know more information about Michael Jackson should consult the podcasts called "Michael Jackson Case for Innocence", "Red Jackson Dance" (on KZbin), "The Mjcast", and the documentaries "Square One MJ", "The Lies of Leaving Neverland”, “Michael Jackson Private Home Movies”, “Michael Jackson Take Two The Footage You Were Never Meant to See”, “Michael Jackson The Humanitarian”, and “Loving Neverland”. These multiple documents are precious and rich in information that the media refuses to adequately broadcast.

[@sunnyv5718]

After Bon Jovi returned to the hotel, Bubbles stayed out, went to a karaoke bar and sang the best cover of “Living on a Prayer” ever sung before or since.

[@jimstevenson424]

I was never a huge fan (their music was good, but it seemed like 80s pop after the 80s ended). He branched out way beyond music, and I assumed he was just a good businessman; but he is engaging, broadly talented, authentic and really connects with people (immediately). I get it now.

[@SilkyShish]

I agree. I wa never a fan of their music. But, Jon has definitely created a successful career for himself.

[@mariedelgado1613]

Hi Jon we are die hard fans me and my sister Suzanna,We love the song Legendary ❤️❤️ you are a amazing singer songwriter a really good guy , we can’t wait for the documentary it’s 2weeks away

[@howardford6991]

The pairing of "Wanted Dead Or Alive" with the opening scene in the movie "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" is one of the best song/movie pairings of all time!!!

[@moot6794]

I had this Star Wars Christmas record and would just stare at the artwork when I was a kid, I loved it.

[@Billkwando]

He was great in Moonlight & Valentino.

[@hawtmess66]

I love seeing Jon doing so many interviews while promoting Legendary. In the past 40 yrs i would get excited to see him on a talk show, talking about his personal life. It was rare. In every show he did was talk about his music. I love the new documentary because you get to hear a little bit of everything. My heart breaks for Jon but its fantastic the music catalog he has. I recommend watching it. Ive watched it 4 times

[@1craley878]

So do we, we all love those songs.

[@misterbigglesworth6852]

Tom Cruise also had a cameo in the series. He was shot in the final battle of the original "Young Guns."

[@JojoFryrocks]

I’d love to hear from any of those teenage kids who used to go in and listen to Bon Jovi’s demos!! Also, of course he’s never heard a good karaoke version of Livin’ on a Prayer, since I’ve never seen him in a bar where I’ve been singing! 😂❤

[@scottwilson3741]

Slightly off subject, but Tom Cruise also had a blink and you'll miss it cameo in the final firefight in the first Young Guns

[@7Earthsky]

Michael Jackson knew how to rock.....He should have taken jon up on his offer. They would have had fun singing each other songs together and maybe even come up with something original. :)

Jon was in a lot of movies. They should have researched that before asking him if he was in YGII and nothing else.

[@marcd1981]

I was surprised Rich didn't know that Jon has acted in several movies. And he's actually done a good job, better than some of these guys being pushed through by hollywood big-wigs. I was stationed at NAS Millington from July to December of 1985, and I arrived just before 4th of July weekend. There was a concert at Mud Island for the holiday, with Bon Jovi OPENING for Ratt. She's a Little Runaway was Bon Jovi's hit at that time, and Round and Round was Ratt's. I actually remember Bon Jovi's show more than Ratt's, and liked the music better, too.

What about the story of Michael calling him (Jon) up in 1990 to go the theater of which they both did? Jon spoke of this in the very famous MTV, "Famous Last Words" that year with Kurt Loder. Why do these guys no know of that? It's probably the single handedly most famous interview Jon has done his entire life and career. Why the selective memory?
