[@sandim900]

Richie Sambora used a talkbox on this song, which gave it a very distinctive sound. A talkbox is an electronic device that allows a guitar player to make distorted sounds with his mouth.

[@terrylandess6072]

A talkbox receives the guitarist's speaker signal, but uses a horn driver (looks like a speaker magnet but has a very small diaphragm) with a tube attached to the front, instead of the big 'horn' shaped metal sound director. Pure analogue - not digital. The guitarist's other speaker cabinets need to lose their signal when the talkbox is in effect, and a microphone picks up the sound.

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

There have been a few guitarists to have used the talkbox over the years.... Peter Frampton was known for it... It is just like putting the speaker for the guitar in your mouth and use that sound for "talking" after a fashion and shaping the sound in cool ways.

[@aslakrantakokko5347]

More talkbox, The Scorpions and their song The Zoo.

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

@@aslakrantakokko5347 I keep asking for that one in the hopes they will try it... I would also like to see their reaction to the Scorpions "Animal Magnetism" as well, but that is a slower "heavier" ballad that is awesome, but might be "too slow" for their faster rock explorations... I know Lex would absolutely LOVE the musical sound journey of that song with her kinesthesia... that one is *SUPER* cool for soundscape qualities. Or Nazareth's "Please Don't Judas Me"... slower songs but very rich in almost surreal and encompassing music!

Its beyond intense to be at a Bon Jovi concert with 20,000 fans singing the entire song with the band, then it hit another level altogether when they get to the chorus. Never heard anything like it.

[@cydrych]

The 80’s, fueled by Jack Daniel’s, a white powdery substance and the purple cans of Aquanet Hairspray. They were the best of times. Until they weren’t. I have a few vague memories that I’ll cherish forever, one of which happened on the way home from a Bon Jovi concert, but I don’t think my body could handle that life again. I traded the hairspray for beard oil and the white powder and Jack for really good single barrel bourbon. Side note, that “woah woah” sound is made by putting a funnel with a tube attached over a speaker which the guitar plays through, running the tube to your mouth next to a microphone and modifying your mouth shape as you play. The sound of the guitar reverberates in your mouth.

[@Frostrazor]

You have no idea how huge this song was! Four weeks in a row at #1 on MTV top 20 videos. FOUR! And considering this isn't just for any one category of music - this was overall. this hit was as big as Michael Jackson songs to put it in perspective. I remember cranking this album (tape) up on my Walkman every day on my way to school - I was highschool sophomore when this dropped. It's an anthem song and really sucks you in and motivates you because of the great storytelling within. This is from an era when music was just FUN! They all looked like they were enjoying themselves - 80s music was most all about partying and good vibes. Damn I miss that era of music.

I never pretended, I was unashamed of the music I liked. I got so much stick from my metalhead mates for listening to rave music at school, one day I'd have Metallica's Kill 'Em All on my walkman, the next DJ Vibes with cheesy happy hardcore. But I didn't care what they said, music is a subjective experience. There were a whole bunch of happy hardcore covers of some of the power ballads from the likes of everyone from Foreigner to Savage Garden.

I was watching VH1 when Bon Jovi was inducted into the Hall of Fame. And all the while shaking my head at the incredulity of such a concept. Now, bear with me a little here. The festivities proceeded along, with every member given a chance on the podium, until their segment was finally over. Directly following their ceremony- and this is when it gets really interesting- Steven Van Zandt comes out apparently to announce the next segment of the proceedings. The first thing I notice is a clear sh*t-eating grin on his face. I mean, he had the proverbial 'cat that swallowed a mouse' type of smirk plastered across his face. Then he revealed the flowing: that the Academy of Music has decided that they will begin, in the upcoming year, to allow songs to be inducted into their prestigious hall- even if the bands themselves are not considered to be suitable for such distinction. BAM! There it was. Oh, the irony! Scant a breath passes between the induction of the same type of band he had just described, this announcement takes center stage. Bon Jovi could have two songs in the hall: 'Living On A Prayer' and 'Wanted Dead Or Alive.' They are not a hall of fame band. Little Stevie knew this. That's why he was smiling so hard. He's from Jersey. The irony was not lost on him. You think he ever played any of their fluffy pop soccer mom anthems on his radio show? God forbid! The fact that they got in at all speaks volumes about the art of politics and of green mail. And that they got in before YES is all you need to know about what a joke the Academy truly is.

@Brad and Lex - one thing you guys dont realize that you're doing, you're helping make music more accessible for individuals like myself who have a hearing problem. You see, Ive heard a ton of these songs that you're now listening to when I was younger but never knew who sang them, and all the smaller details. Now with you going over the older stuff, Im now able to find who's who so to speak and dig em up to learn more. For perspective, for us deaf folks, we have a hard time even distinguishing a male from female singing voice at times let alone try to make out the words to the songs. And regardless of that, youll quickly learn that the music of yesteryear is miles better than whatever is being put out today, Tom MacDonald and a few other exceptions of course.

Saw Bon Jovi open for .38 Special in 1984, yes, as an opening act. Slippery had just recently dropped and was just starting to get air time. Ironically, I had no clue who they were, I went for .38 Special, but became my FAVORITE band of the 80’s. Slippery and New Jersey got me through high school. Thanks Jon, Ritchie, Dave, Alec and the groove man, Tico. That’s one thing I miss that music doesn’t really offer any more, hope. Everyone wallows in their misery now, so much so I really think they enjoy it so much that they create it, in purpose, out of nowhere.

Bon Jovi still making music today, you can easily find recent videos of them. Probably one of favorite recent songs is When We Were Us.

They didn't take themselves seriously but they did their music. I would STRONGLY suggest Jon's (who is now 59) most recent video/song "Do what you can" Official video. It's a pre Vaccination song but about the pandemic. Shows you what he's like all these years later! (Still has epic hair and damn I'd love to be that t-shirt!) It's a great feel good song! With a horrible topic. He's a Jersey/NY guy and has a few "pay what you can" restaurants. Works there himself a lot of the time, especially has since the pandemic. With the same woman for 40ish years. Just a nice charitable guy. Another song I would recommend it you want to get into more of this type of music is "You give love a bad name" If you want mellow and feels then "Bed of Roses"

"Do people still dress like rockers of long ago?,"... man, that made me feel so old 😪.
