First time hearing Jon Bon Jovi - Blaze Of Glory | Reaction

[@dalefleming6427]

This song was specifically for Young Guns 2, Young Guns had Emilio Estevez's (Billy The Kid) brother Charlie Sheen in it.

[@theartistformerlyknownaslu3871]

They are both In the first one. Ironically enough Charlie plays the level headed relaxed character and Emilio plays the crazy gunslinger 😂

[@MarieBot-tr6lv]

@@theartistformerlyknownaslu3871 and Emilio talks about how he and Jon met when Jon wrote the song, plus 10 more, such a prolific songwriter. And there is a clip of when Jon is interviewed at his home, long hair blowing, he very serious and what the atmosphere was like when at Emilio's place and being in that studio where they recorded with Elton John and Jeff Beck; awesome interviews during that time. I keep finding these gems of history - lots of stories with Jon Bon Jovi, a true artist, lovely to look at too. would have loved to have a crush on him in Gr 10 at a time when he and Dorothea met; can you imagine the smoldering heat between those 2 both a little bit rebellious but they hung on for the next 40 plus years. She was so supportive of him to work on his talent, took a break but who didn't in those younger years. love him and Dot and their story.

[@carolyn64]

Can't beat the combo of Jon Bon Jovi and Young Guns! Just so much a woman's heart can take! I'm old now but haven't always been!😉

Oh, but I know what you mean! Lordy lordy! Those days.

[@joyhruska9377]

Whoooooo. I agree!!! Is it hot in here? Lol

Oh yeah....those were the days. The hair, the earrings and that sexy voice...mmmm. BTW, do any of you remember Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme? Last night I googled some pics of him...and let me just say...my dreams left me breathless.

I can seriously watch "young guns 2" over and over again, just to hear this song kick in at the end!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@EsotericRage]

Great song. Great movie. Definitely worth the watch.

[@michellewheatley2007]

I never drew first but I drew first blood. He wrote this for Young guns when he didn't want them to use wanted dead or alive. He told them he'd rather write them another song. This is what he wrote for them.

[@adamfanalways]

Emilio Estevez, who played Billy the kid in Young Guns 1 & 2, was friends with Jon Bon Jovi and loved his song Wanted Dead Or Alive and wanted to use that in Young Guns 2, Jon got the script from Emilio and wrote the song 🎶 in a diner during the filming of Young Guns 2, Jon went to New Mexico and played it on his acoustic guitar for the screenwriter John Fusco, who original played Wanted Dead Or Alive as mood music 🎶 when he was writing the first script and loved it and use it in the film, Jon wrote the whole soundtrack for Young Guns 2, he was up for original song at the Ocars but didn’t win but did win a Golden Globe Award for original song 🎶 he than got his band Bon Jovi together and played this song at the Academy Awards telecast! It’s a great song and both movies are worth the watch!🤟❤️ I recommend you do Bon Jovi songs Keep The Faith, Have A Nice Day and It’s My Life!

[@dawest767]

Bon Jovi also played a bit part in the movie. He has a crazy beard so you can't actually recognize him.

[@katturney]

He climbs out of the prison hole

[@pegajense]

My favorite song of his ❤❤❤ Young Guns 2 was a great movie

[@DeiGail23]

the only one solo album Bon Jovi recorded! it was for a movie!! as much as I love this Album, JBJ is so much more than this! Jersey lives in him!

[@bryanbatt3371]

The most historically accurate telling of billy the kid ever done. They researched for 3 years b4 filming both movies

He specifically wrote this for the movie.. u have to see it n you'll understand the lyrics

[@TiaRaini81]

I loved this movie! And the song is crazy..."I never drew first, but I drew first blood" is a sick ass line

[@arlopear7136]

Actually the line was "I never drew first but I drew first blood". Meaning back in the Old West when someone fired their gun at somebody they "drew their gun". He's saying he never drew first on anybody but he's so fast on the trigger he always shot his man first eventhough he wasn't the guy who drew his gun first. He's speaking through the character of Billy the Kid from the movie Young Guns 2.

[@pennylane36]

It’s from the movie young guns with Kiefer Sutherland and Emilio Estevez They wanted to use wanted dead or alive but Jon didn’t think it was the right song for the movie, so he wrote this one

[@jonahmosher3314]

Young Guns 2, and Jon Bon Jovi did the entire soundtrack just as Bon Dylan did for the 70s movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Both great soundtracks.

[@Ncroadrunnerjr]

As previous comment stated the song was written for the movie Young guns 2. They wanted to use wanted Dead or alive but John said no. So what did he do? He wrote the entire soundtrack. The movie was about Billy the kid

[@michellejackson6679]

Jon was Oscar nominated for this song.

[@jzekas21]

Watch his live performance with just Richie at the MTV music awards in 89. It started the whole MTV unplugged. You won’t be disappointed!! They sing Livin on a prayer and Dead or Alive

The movie is Young Guns 2!! Great movie!!! Now I have to watch it again! With Emilio Estevez, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kiefer Sutherland, and William Petersen. Jon Bon Jovi did the sound tract and it's amazing!!

[@deeknits]

He said, “I never drew first, but I drew first blood…”

[@joyhruska9377]

Ahhhhhh yes! Jon Bon Jovi! 😜

[@kimtalley4496]

It's from Young Guns 2. Emilio Estaves as Billy the Kid.

[@GhostDrummer]

The entire Young Guns II sound track was recorded by Bon Jovi. Cool trivia fact about the movie…Bon Jovi was actually in the movie. He and Emilio are great friends. Jon wanted to be in the first movie. Emilio told him they were getting ready to shoot the second movie and he wanted Jon to be in a scene. He had to wear a fur coat because of his tattoo on his shoulder. This clip shows Tom Cruse in Young Guns and Bon Jovi in Young Guns II kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpfJl5aQmcmsqLc This is the interview talking about the scene kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXysZIuAedefgbc

[@andreabindolini7452]

In 1990, producers of the western movie "Young Guns II" (with Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland and others) asked for "Wanted dead or Alive" (published 4 years before) as soundtrack; Jon Bon Jovi agreed, but later realized that the lyrics won't fit, so instead of that song, he wrote (as a solo artist, without the band) a new piece, pretty similar, called "Blaze of Glory", another huge success. And along with that song, he wrote an entire album with the same name, with the support of a supergroup that comprised Elthon John, Little Richard and the renowed guitarist Jeff Beck! A masterful work: ironically, the album turned out far better than the movie. Quality is so high that this song is probably my least favourite of that album!

[@rickallen3104]

Young guns movies are probably two of the best movies ever made

[@cotter4523]

This song is ONE OF THE BEST SONG FOR A MOVIE AND YES IT WAS PERFECT 👌 FOR YOUNG GUNS 2

[@michellejackson6679]

[@jeffrichards1537]

Young guns is one franchise where 2nd movie was as good or better than first. Both are awesome

[@JessH1]

I'm so glad you did a lot of them. They are the best. I just love them

[@keeplivin084]

Jon Bon Jovi actually appeared in Young guns 2

[@vacantalleyways]

The whole young guns 2 soundtrack was written by Jon during a break for the band (they actually didn't even know if they'd ever get back together after New Jersey). Songs like Miracle, Blood Money, Bang A Drum and Santa Fe are all highlights off it but overall a great album!

[@rachel.en3101]

I love Bang a Drum!

[@katturney]

Me three! That duet is just 😍

[@polo5569]

The first young guns movie had a line that was sampled by Warren g and Nate dogg in their song Regulate. The whole first few lines before Warren g starts to rap and the "Regulators mount up" came from that movie.

[@jonahmosher3314]

Jon Bon Jovi did the entire soundtrack to Young Guns 2, and had a cameo in the movie. It was kind of like an “ode” to the movie Pat Garret and Billy the Kid from the 70s, in which Bob Dylan had a role in and also did the entire soundtrack.

[@dennisanderson7034]

Absolutely awesome album. Great movie soundtrack.

[@marilyngordy3670]

Damn, now I want to watch Young Guns again! There is a man who claimed to be Billy the Kid in Texas in his 80s. Had the scars that the kid had. Said he wasn't killed the way it was said. So maybe those lyrics about him living to be wise had something to do with that.

[@lisa_jetsgurl642]

Most people think of a 'Wise Man' is someone that is much older. Jon is asking, "Will I grow old?" Like before I can be a wise man, I need to grow old enough to be one.

Bon Jovi are a Rock! They did this Song for the western Movie “ Young Guns”!

[@grobinson7507]

He did as a solo, not with the men from Bon Jovi. The movie is Young Guns 2, Emilio Estevez who play Billy the Kid, Jon and him were friends and I guess from what they said he got the script from a Emilio and Jon wrote this song for the 2nd movie.

[@andreabindolini7452]

Some ideas for the next Bon Jovi songs (with videos): "Born to be My Baby", "Bad Medicine", "Keep the Faith", "Bed of Roses", "This Ain't a Love Song", "Everyday"

[@katturney]

There is a song on this same soundtrack that is a duet with Chris Ladoux called, Bang a Drum. It is a great song. And if you’ve never seen the Young Guns 1 & 2 movies, they are great.

[@jonahmosher3314]

The duet version with Chris Ladoux came out well after the movie. But it was cool that Chris did this song later on.

[@michaelpalmer9966]

This song is from the movie Young Guns 2. The same band had another song called Wanted Dead or Alive which was from the first Young Guns movie.

[@kimtalley4496]

Yeah this is from Young Guns 1 and 2 about Billy the Kid played by Emilio Estevez. Both are great movies if you've never seen them I highly recommend them.

[@jonahmosher3314]

It was just from Young Guns 2. He did the entire soundtrack.

[@krispecore17]

This was epic! Great reaction!

[@jmhaces]

Jon Bon Jovi wrote and performed the soundtrack for the movie "Young Guns 2," which is a western about the death of Billy the Kid (played by Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen's brother). The movie also features big names from back in the day like Keifer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips and Christian Slater as members of Billy's gang. "Blaze of Glory" is the title track and the record features a bunch of legit guest musicians like Little Richard and the legendary Jeff Beck, who plays the guitar solo for this song. It's a Jon Bon Jovi solo record and not a Bon Jovi (the band) record, though.

George strait has 60 number ones on the country charts.... Bon Jovi or other big acts are number ones on billboard top 200 the main chart that you want a number 1 on

[@csblame]

That’s still impressive to have 60 number one hits! I love George Strait. But also not just him having country number 1 hits but a lot of people also don’t realize that George Strait doesn’t write his songs. He has and has had for decades song writers fighting to get their songs picked up by Strait. Jon and Richie have done all their own writing. Yes they have had some co-writers sit in and some to edit. But Jon and Richie have written so much stuff and even have written hits for other artist. So not knocking George Strait but having 60 number 1 hits and having 60 number one hits you wrote is two totally different things!

[@jamestate5059]

The producers wanted to use the Bon Jovi song Wanted Dead Or Alive for the movie Young Guns 2 but Jon said it really didn't fit and wrote this song instead then ended up writing the whole soundtrack.

[@Meltog]

The words are, "You asked if I'll grow to be a wise man, and I asked if I'll grow old". He knows he'll be hanged for the aforementioned "drew first blood" of the man he killed.
