You: "Bon Jovi doesn't really seem like a rock band." Me: Sir, I'll have you know that not only has Bon Jovi seen a million faces... they've rocked them all.

[@deepfryerhouse6885]

I read this as that line was sung

[@benjaminharris5946]

Best comment!

[@leeneely6510]

Brilliant

[@sherryarflin726]

Hahahahahaha!!!!! I love that!

[@lollylolly8186]

He used to say f$&@ed back in the late 80’s.

[@sherryarflin726]

Richie Sambora is totally underrated as a guitarist and has really good vocals himself.

[@payney23291]

Absolutely, the new Bon Jovi music is seriously missing Richie

[@sherryarflin726]

Amen my friend.

Facts

[@AimeeFleck]

Agreed

[@melissamackie7141]

Agree

[@midkingsteve]

This song is about being on tour/on the road in the rock band. Never sleeping, drinking, working hard but playing hard, and he is comparing it to a cowboy as a metaphor. The loner part is definitely right. That's part of the comparison. Great reaction!

[@edwardcooper7979]

Steve Trowbridge is 100% correct about the lyrics.

[@Kevin_Mccalister99]

that's truee

[@tomchesley2604]

Well typed... Kinda like "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger....put it on the list....

[@catherinetodd5163]

Yep, the steel horse is the tour bus.

Renegades!! Mount up!!

[@NikkiSixxFreak]

I never get tired of seeing young people react to these songs I grew up on. I was lucky to grow up when I did.

[@lauriesworld7008]

I was just thinking the same thing lol

[@Meltog]

The 70’s & 80’s were the best. Great music, black light posters, ball chairs, disco, Clove cigarettes, surfing, drive-ins, incense, house parties, cruising, beach combers, wine coolers, Pukka shell necklaces, dittos pants, hip huggers, bell bottoms & halter tops. Cowabunga! Good times.

[@moniquefleming3738]

Amen to that. Our generations music was epic!

[@debsreno911]

Couldn't agree more!

[@J.L.Nelson]

I totally agree! Riding our banana seat bikes, drive in theaters, recording our favorite songs off the radio praying the dj wouldn't talk until the song was over, Casey Kasem's top 40, and on and on. Oh I wish we could time travel back, the 80's were the best!

[@sopdox]

The lyrics in this video are a bit messed up. And yes, Bon Jovi is every bit a rock band. Lead singer is John Bongiovi, the band is Bon Jovi. This song is about touring and being on the road for months at a time. So many great Bon Jovi songs, Living on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, Runaway, We Got It Going On, Bad Medicine, I’ll Be There For You

[@tinaevans2123]

Hin name is spelled Jon

[@sopdox]

@@tinaevans2123 It isn’t. His name is John Francis Bongiovi Jr.

[@lkey4045]

[@SuperPlacido1]

@@lkey4045 Yeah!

[@Meltog]

@@tinaevans2123 ...John is half Italian his real name is John Francis Bongiovi jr. The group name “Bon Jovi” is a play on that. His stage name is spelled Jon.

[@klong0001]

"I wasn't gonna check out Bon Jovi... just because their name is Bon Jovi..." Famous last words towards a band that has been around for over 30 years and sells out damn near every concert. I love your reactions to Bon Jovi. It's refreshing to see someone so young getting into some of the best music there was. Please tell me you've watched the video now, the song is about his life on the road, the steel horse is the tour bus.

[@LFRFAMILY]

*I LOVE YOU JOJO! You’re doing an AMAZING JOB & I’m so super proud of you!🖤*

One of my favorite Bon Jovi songs. This and “Blaze of Glory” from Jon’s first solo album are 2 of my favorite songs. Thanks for reacting to it!

Isn't that one from the Young Guns soundtrack?

Also for a train.

[@kennethgoin628]

@@joyceneal6169 Weren't trains called an "Iron Horse?" Any time I've seen those two words together with a picture, it's always been a train.

[@kennethgoin628]

I know "motor pony" doesn't sound as tough or cool, but that was always my favorite cycle slang term. It's just funny in a dorky kind of way. I'm trying to remember, without looking it up, if the video showed the "steel horse" being the tour bus. I just can't recall a motorcycle... but I'm OLD! Haha!

[@autumnwhitaker5872]

To me steel horse was anything with a motor that has horse power that got you from place to place.

[@markdaube507]

I have seen them LIVE and they sound just as good. An amazing show with super talented musicians.

[@YODAthejedi88]

Theyre honestly incredible live 🥺🥺 I go through withdrawals every time they go on tour and I see them, withdrawals literally walking out of the stadium haha 🤣😭

[@juliebrockett3471]

Hey Jo Jo, great reaction! Bon Jovi was a great 80’s rock hair band! Jon Bon Jovi singing and Richie Zambora on lead guitar and back up vocals. Both excellent! This song is about life on the road “I’m a cowboy (loner) “on a steel horse I ride” (buses then planes) “I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve ROCKED them all” (they did, too) They don’t block too much, so you gotta check them out live!! “Livin on a prayer” and “Blaze of Glory” and there is more suggestions below!! Be well and God Bless... from Texas!!

[@AmericanMick13]

WAS a great 80s hair band? Zambora?🤔

[@rubenterlouw7746]

no busses or planes...the music industry is the ,,steel horse,,.

[@kasie680]

Sambora not Zambora

[@timogrady5723]

@@rubenterlouw7746 Interesting...I've never heard that analogy but it makes sense. But I did see an interview with Jon back in the day and he said the steel horse was the tour bus and it was about the irony of always being surrounded by millions of people but yet the road left him feeling lonely. But I can see your perspective of the industry as the steel horse since once he was on it he had to keep going

Their performance is such a huge part of their music! Jon is the best, i was so in love with him back in the day! Still am, I'm 75 now and I still see him in my mind lke he was! He's still performing and is a really good man doing a lot of good in this hurting world of ours 🤗👍! I really was bummed when he cut his hair, but I got over it, mostly 🤥😏.

[@Meltog]

I still love long/ish hair on a man. Earrings too. When my husband and I met, he had long, wavy, black hair.

[@tuttasb5338]

I came to your channel as a Dimash Dear but had to watch your reaction to this as I've been a die hard Bon Jovi fan for almost 30 years. I've travelled all over Europe to see them live, first time in 1995, last time in 2019. Bon Jovi is a rock band from New Jersey, their third album Slippery When Wet made them world famous in 1986. The lead singer Jon Bon Jovi's last name is Bongiovi so they changed it to Bon Jovi. And yes, you should have watched the video, it's epic. It also gives you a better understanding of the lyrics, it's about life on stage and the life of touring the world as a rock star. What I like most about Wanted is Richie's guitar and Richie's backing vocals (Richie Sambora). Sadly Jon's voice is no longer what it used to be, it makes me sad to hear him sing now but I've had the pleasure of seeing Richie Sambora live (solo) a few times and he still sounds amazing. Just have to say, standing in a stadium with 40000 people or in Hyde Park in London with 93000 people, everybody singing Wanted Dead Or Alive together with Bon Jovi is an experience you don't forget. I think maybe this video of "Livin' On A Prayer" live from London in 1995 can give you some feel of what it was like to attende a Bon Jovi concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3m0k399fJ2GqJo

[@ErikNapitu]

Bon Jovi is my favourite band growing up, as time flies I discovered more and more fantastic bands but they will never replace Bon Jovi, I put them in one special place in my heart altogether. If you want check "Something To Believe In" which is my personal anthem, and "These Days" my favourite Bon Jovi song.

[@countryheart5521]

These days was one of my fave albums, amazing.

[@ErikNapitu]

@@countryheart5521 Mine is These Days, coz I was still a toddler when SWW and NJ came out 🤣. But sure it's one of the greatest Rock albums known to mankind and it was the one that hoisted Bon Jovi straight to the league of rock legends

[@gmlcajun]

Bon Jovi is a damn good band you should do more they give good performance you might want to check out some of their videos✌️❤️💯

[@murrannlehovitch6204]

Open your heart and mind. There is sooooo much good music out there. Really enjoying your reactions.

[@kimtalley4496]

This song and Blaze of Glory are both off of The Young Guns soundtrack. This song in particular I think he's talking about the ins and outs of touring.

[@blgeiger71]

Actually, this was from their third studio release entitled "Slippery When Wet" and was definitely one of their most popular songs/videos...

[@phillipmills474]

the producers of youngguns 2 wanted to use this song in the movie... Jon said NO but offered to write the entire album/soundtrack all he wanted was a small part in the movie... which he got

[@lollylolly8186]

No although it has the same melancholy tone as the Young Guns album.

[@cindysellari4705]

Blood money from that movie is a good song 😊

[@youravgjoe42]

Bon Jovi is the lead singer Jon Bon Jovi's last name. They are from my home state: New Jersey and they were one of the great hard rock bands of the 80s. Living on a Prayer is their big hit that is a karaoke favorite. The song is about the loneliness of life on the road for a touring rock star. On the road all the time the people come and go.

[@mardanhar82]

Jon bon Jovi was actually born Jon Bongiovi. FYI.

[@paulbolin7513]

This is one of the greatest rock songs ever produced

[@michellepresho517]

[@karenpapadopoulos2443]

Bon Jovi and Cinderella was my first concert ♥️!

I think you know the Bon Jovi song, “Livin’ on a Prayer”. Great to see you back at school! I remember that feeling after a long break at home. And I like your jumpshot form. Hoping you play on your college team!

[@TheBlackQueen]

I think he did that with his dad, either it was that or The Final Countdown. It was a car reaction I believe.

[@geraldinekennedy9929]

I listen to Bon Jovi all the time. I have seen them live so many times. But that reaction you gave when the song ramped up a level - I still get that every time when I listen to them!!!!

[@truecolors967]

Bon Jovi Bad Medicine song is 🔥🔥🔥

[@coreyz.2800]

Bon Jovi is an early rock/metal band. The lead, Jon Bon Jovi, is a legend. And not just musically. He owns a chain of restaurants where homeless/unemployed folks can come in and have a full meal no problem and just put in a little work to pay their tab. Like, get a full course lunch, put in like 20 minutes washing dishes or something, and call it square. People get fed, and they leave feeling a sense of pride and dignity because it wasn't some "charity handout." They earned it. For a lot of people who are in a bad way financially that can be a huge difference maker and give them the confidence and motivation they needed to get back out there, get back on their feet, and not just "get a job" but chase their dreams.

[@nathankooi8722]

I'm not a Bon Jovi fan. However, this is one of my all time favorite songs! Thanks for reacting!

[@andrewschliewe6392]

Nice you are hitting the heavyweights of rock, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Bon Jovi

[@garthvanheerden1222]

this song, and several of the others from this time of his work, was featured in the movies young guns 1 and 2 which were the movies about the life and times of the cowboy billy the kid. the songs from that album are very much rock but from a western point of view. it was a mish mash that he did really well, and pretty much the entire album was amazing.

[@mimiloveee9]

They are a rock band love ..livin on a prayer n many many more greats from them ❗❗❗

[@wayneb8620]

This song is the theme song from a film called "Young Guns 2", about Billy The Kid, staring Keiffer Sutherland and Emilio Estevez.

[@seanmole8134]

Blaze of Glory is on the soundtrack, not this one, but they are both excellent songs.

[@Neonbob]

Being from NJ. Growing up @Seaside Park. Hanging out with these guys at the white stage. Bios on Bon Jovi. You can't deny they Rocked Your Socks off. Flash back memories of better times.

[@bigredfella13]

Love your enthusiasm for the music, it reminds me of when I first listened and reignites my own enthusiasm

[@lovetocheerx0x0]

Correction, Hair Metal Band!!! JoJo, only 1 of the most popular of all time, cuz the ladies loved Jon. The story is about touring endlessly, and not being home. The Steel Horse refers to their touring bus. Back in the day, bands didn’t have private jets (but they have one now 😁), they toured on private buses. But don’t forget, he’s seen a million faces, and they ROCKED THEM ALL 😁😁

[@lcruce]

You listen with an open mind and heart. That is what I love about you. God bless. Keep up the good work.

[@JamesFromTexas]

One of the greatest songs of all time! Tells a pretty relatable story. Sounds just like my time in the military. I saw a million faces and while I didn't rock them all, a few did get their minds blown.

The video is great. Check it out. You will probably like a lot of Bon Jovi songs. They are all pretty lit and the dude has pipes. This song is pretty much about being a rock star, life in the road. Btw, his name is Jon Bon Jovi...he can't help having the last name, glad you didn't hold it against him. 😁 Also, Bon Jovi is his last name but also the name of the whole band.

[@827dusty]

He's talking about being on the road all the time being a "Rock Star" doing 5 concerts a week in different cities. I can see how he wouldn't be sleeping very well. Watch the video of him on the tour Bus and planes traveling across the country performing.

[@dennisd.7971]

You make me feel like when I heard these songs for the first time when I was young, 30 years ago! Thanks man!

[@ChanelStuff]

The song is about his life as a rock star. The "steel horse" is his tour bus. The "loaded six-string" on his back is his guitar. He talks about all the people he's met very briefly. The life of a rock star is performing a concert, loading back up on the bus and trying to sleep while you're on your way to the next one scheduled the next day. I'm sure it's exhausting. His name is Jon Bon Jovi... doesn't matter if you like it, it's his name LOL

The Irony of you listening to this in your dorm room when juxtaposed with me hearing it the first time in my dorm room back in the 80s is excellent!! You couldn't turn the radio on in the mid to late 80s without hearing one of their songs...this one was right at the top...they have a great catalog of music and you won't be disappointed should you choose to dive deep....the whole Slippery when Wet album was straight fire!! So many great songs from them. These Days is one of my favorites, but it wasn't huge on the radio!

Basically rock comes in so many different flavors. What you are listening to is best described as Hair Rock. These rockers were all known for their big hair and guitar solos that typically grabbed people's attention with solid well done hooks that seem to draw attention.

[@TheTracystamand]

One of my favorite rock bands ❣️

[@danielmiller8156]

Bon Jovi, at the time was a rock band. Years later they transitioned into country music. Even in this song, you could hear some of the influence of change. Bon Jovi did the soundtrack album for Young Guns 2, a western movie about Billie the Kid. A touch of country and bluegrass added to his already epic sound gave him a series of #1 hits from the album and influenced the direction the band would eventually make into country music. People from all genres transition to rock, but this is a rare instance where the opposite is true. He is also one of the rare talents that can play a 12 string guitar at an iconic level.

[@jacquelinef404]
