First time hearing Bon Jovi "You Give Love a Bad Name" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@kellifranklin4432]

One of the biggest stadium rock bands of all time. They are one of just a few of the hair metal bands that survived the 80s and managed to stay successful. Just great rock by one of the most charismatic lead singers to ever do it!

[@daletolmich6459]

Stadium Rock? Don't recall them ever having a stadium tour?... They've played stadiums... with other headliners. Other bands... festivals... maybe the music was played at a stadium event... but I personally don't recall them ever being a Stadium Rock Band. They tried though.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

When I was a teen in highschool, everyone had the album "slippery when wet", you couldn't go anywhere without hearing one of the many great singles playing, great stuff!

[@peridotdiamondruby]

They were my first concert, Drove an hour to see them and was so excited to see them I left my car headlights on and came out of the concert with with a dead battery lol I was sixteen! Had to call the parents to come get us and the car towed. No cell phones back then either. It was a great night 🎶

[@jeremykent3481]

First tape I ever bought myself this one and living on a prayer where my favorite songs on it.

[@raycluney7466]

Jon Bon Jovi is the lead singer. “Wanted Dead or Alive” from the same album is solid too.

[@marcieharreld286]

Played during breaks at many sporting events...maybe that's where you heard it....other than the radio!!! Kick ass concerts too!!!🤘🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵🥁🎸🎹🎧🎙🎤

Yeah I was just out of high school when this was popular. Props to Bon Jovi. Still going strong almost 40 years later. :)

[@justmemadison]

Me, too! Well, I was almost out of high school.

[@sw828]

I could see how much ya'll loved this one right from the beginning. You could not sit still. I smiled the whole time watching that. Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince dominated my childhood. This takes me back!

[@blgeiger71]

Love it so much, y’all! Their very first number 1 song from “Slippery When Wet” in 1986. Singer is Jon Bon Jovi of Sayerville, NJ!

[@lorijones8147]

This song takes me back to 1987.. I was 16 and blasting this as I was driving around... Yes, this was all over the radio then.. .and in Concert They sounded the same and it was freakin awesome! I saw them twice.. and both times are super memorable.

[@grobinson7507]

This was written about his relationship with Diane Lane, she is an actress. The relationship didn’t last long, he said this isn’t the life for me. He went back home to NJ and started seeing his high school sweetheart Dorothea and they have been happily married since 1989. Lead singer is Jon Bon Jovi on of the biggest groups of the 80’s

I remember seeing this, pre album release, when I lived in Germany at Monsters of Rock 1986. The concert had four main acts; Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Ozzy, and The Scorpions. Great show!

[@yooperman1916]

Was at that concert too, had a great time.

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

In 86 and 87 you simply could not escape this track. It was everywhere, constantly.

[@toddshaw843]

Saw them in 86 when this song came out, i was in the eleventh grade, thanks for bringing back the memories

[@nitab1971]

You have to watch Jon sing, it's a treat to watch him perform! Try live or original videos if you can with rockers like Bon Jovi!!

[@I.am.Iain-81]

One of the best bands to ever pick up/ sit behind an instrument. Bon Jovi have that very rare staying power and have been rocking for decades. Their music has a timeless quality and they write their own songs. Some other songs of theirs to check out, Runaway - Die For You - Born To Be My Baby & Hey God 🤘

[@barrelhorse56]

Great reaction Asia and bj 🥰‼️ love bon Jovi and the I totally agree with yall and the lead singer is Jon bon Jovi Asia ❣️❣️❣️

the whole slipery when wet album is a total package album is great.

[@renewilliams7600]

Asia and BJ, I went to a Bon Jovi concert in L.A. when they were on their Bad Medicine Tour. I have never ever seen a Reaction to the song "Bad Medicine". I watch ALOT of reactions. Im surprised since that song was a big hit. I believe the album is titled Bad Medicine. So Im saying all that just to suggest maybe sometime you could do a reaction to "BAD MEDICINE" It has been so long since I have heard that song. Thanks and have a Blessed night.

[@ShannyShan20]

Bad Medicine is a great, great song! And fun video!

[@justmemadison]

First time hearing "You Give Love a Bad Name", well, you must have never been driving next to me and my friends...you would have heard it blaring from our car stereo. lol. There are some artists that really need the video and Bon Jovi is one of them...he's nice to look at. Richie Sambora never disappoints either.

[@lrsrosebud]

Even if you’ve never heard this song before, you can’t help but rock out to it!

[@jeffpendergrass9481]

Saw them in 1987...Great live show and my favorite band. Look at Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar on Me.' The video is great. The 80's were awesome!!

[@er926villan]

John Bon Jovi one of the best artist! One song I have not seen many listen to was his first greatest hit…Runaway!

[@paschamaryalophand9200]

[@michaeldixon7001]

I was 17 in 84 so awesome people now days dont know wat they missed so fun and worry free...

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Always react to them with live performances. You can’t beat Jon at a concert. He is so charismatic, coming and going. LOL. They put on a great show, so many hits they can’t sing them all in one concert. Touring this year.

[@punkydoodle4774]

And the concert footage of this song is great. They look like they're thoroughly having so much fun. You should watch it, even if you don't react to it.

[@csblame]

If it’s 90’s or before. Anything starting at the 2000’s with Crush tour you really start to hear the decline in his voice.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

@@csblame Really? Do you sound the way you did in the 1980s? Either you’re a fan or you’re not. There’s no decade limits. I’m the same age as Jon, from the same area in NJ and Italian. If you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself.

[@csblame]

@@Mainecoonlady. Chill out! I did not knock him. People age and musicians often abuse their voice. Jon abused his voice! That’s not being mean. That’s being real! If people are new to Bon Jovi they need to see the magic that was the 90’s and before. Let’s face it. He can’t even sing most of the hits anymore. That’s fact!

[@ScreamqueenarmyBlogspot666]

The official video to this song is awesome, you should check it out

[@johnthegreek5836]

Bon Jovi what an awesome group and the band really jammed

[@tashrif46]

They sang this during their Hall of Fame induction and it was incredible.

[@Frostrazor]

The lead singer is Jon Bon Jovi. you've heard "Living on a Prayer" which has a very similar sound - likely that's the familiarity you're feeling. The official music video is from an era when music videos were played on MTV - and an era that videos were good. This one makes the song even cooler cuz the video is super hype and fun.

[@normaalexander27]

One of my favorite’s (you Give Love A Bad Name) 🎵🎵

[@stephieholland2967]

its my life is a good tune

That is a dynamite song from Bon Jovi! They are jamming hard. Some Desmond Child magic in it!❤

[@geoffsullivan7902]

80’s….yeah ! Definitely a lot going on in the 80’s. Hits were dropping every week, it was crazy and beautiful to be a part of for sure. Saw a lot of concerts, did cover band for a lil bit, no technology- so you can’t cheat. That’s not easy and everyone was on tour so we heard it and saw it live. My ears hate me, but I’d do it all again, especially 1984. 🤘😎❤️

Geoff.... ABSOLUTELY! All that u just mentioned!👍♥️👏🤩

Love Bon Jovi. So many great songs. Wanted Dead or Alive is a great song by them

[@robynmawer769]

From Woodbridge, NJ,where Richie Sambora lived. Slept till 4 pm every day. We used to knock on his bedroom window to wake him up. Lol I dated Gary,lead singer,bass player for rival band in Justyn Tyme. He live around corner from Jon & we went to a party where all bands were. Probably 1982. Bon Jovi..Bongiovani) He disrespectfully asked me out. I called him an A-hole. I was obviously with Gary. I grew up in Woodbridge also.

[@robynmawer769]

Love the music tho. 2 songs about me..pretty cool. I turned him down and he wrote about it. Respect. We were kids

[@thorfinsky1427]

"Never Say Goodbye" would be a great song to react to!

[@Charityf100]

I LOVED seeing them in concert in mid-80's!❤

[@jessegreen6138]

Asia and BJ you might want check out "Livin on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive". "Wanted Dead or Alive" was written for the movie "Young Guns".

[@csblame]

Blaze of Glory was written for young guns. And it was also a solo album. Wanted Dead Or Alive actually isn’t really about cowboys, it’s really about life on the road touring.

[@seandobson6221]

This album was one of the first rock cassettes I was allowed to have. As a preachers kid my music was limited when it came to music I could listen to at home. I wore it out. But I’ve got it on my iPod and it gets regular play on my retro playlist

The group is named after the lead singer Jon Bon Jovi (stage name his actual name is John Bongiovi). He founded the group.

[@jzp931]

My 23 yo son knows all these songs from 70’s 80’s 90’s to present. He’s a Bon Jovi fan and thinks he’s born in the wrong decade lol.

[@tinahairston6383]

Bon Jovi was named for the lead singer, Jon Bongiovi and it's a play on his last name. Check out Blaze of Glory which is his one of his solo numbers written for the movie Young Guns 2. The man can act too. He had a small part in Young Guns 2, was on the tv show Ally McBeal starring Calista Flockhart, the movie U-571 with Matthew McConaughey, the movie Moonlight and Valentino starring Elizabeth Perkins, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kathleen Turner, and Whoopi Goldberg and several others. Got to see them back in '89 during their Jersey Syndicate Tour supporting their 4th album, New Jersey, when I was 19. Seems a lifetime ago, lol. I love that I share my birthday with him and Dr. Seuss, lol.

Slippery When wet Album is their best album they ever done, IMHO. I would sit for hours just listening to this album until my cassette wore out, Then bought the cd of it, and wore out my CD player with it on repeat. Need to check out the ENTIRE album. There is no bad song from this album.

I agree bro. She sounded right on with this song.

[@txrojas]

The song was originally written by Desmond Child for Bonnie Tyler under a different name. The song was rejected so Desmond took it to Jon Bon Jovi. It was actually written before Jon was dating Diane Lane. The lyrics were rewritten and the title was changed to “You Give Love a Bad Name” and the rest is history.

Today the world lost a brilliant talent in the producer, engineer and musician Richie Podolor. Richie was an amazing musical guide for Three Dog Night from its very first record at MCA and he continued producing for us right on through to our new album, that is just about to be released. Despite his low-key demeanor, Richie was a powerhouse; beginning in the 1960’s he worked as a producer, engineer, musician, composer and arranger for countless artists including the Monkees, the Turtles, the Electric Prunes, the Grateful Dead, Donovan, the Dillards, Chris Hillman, and Black Oak Arkansas, as well as Steppenwolf for whom Richie engineered their huge hits “Born to be Wild” and “Magic Carpet Ride”. Scores of artists, songwriters, producers and engineers have been impacted by Richie’s ideas and techniques. He was a great musician and a dear friend. Richie Podolor will be missed even as his talent still rests in the music and musicians that he touched
