[@GermanLeftist]

@@patrickbateman7769 Yes, and no. Everette Bradley even played with Springsteen in the past, but he aint no Clarence Clemons or even Jake Clemons, in so far that they can be compared. David Bryan, while a great keyboard player, is no Prof. Roy Bittan. He also ain't no Dan Federici, even though that call is a lot closer. Same when comparing him to Charles Giordano. On bass, I actually have to say that I consider Hugh McDonald the superior player when compared to Gary W. Tallent. On drums though, it's a close call between Tico "The Hitman" Torres and Mighty Max Weinberg, so close in fact that I couldn't pick which one I'd say is "better". This leaves the guitars: John Shanks can maybe compete with Patti on rhythm guitar and that's it. Both Steve van Zandt and Nils Lofgren play leagues above him. On the other hand, Phil X is better than Little Steve but when Bruce lets Nils rip, OMG. Sorry, Phil, sorry Richie, Nils Lofgren is outstanding and absolutely underrated. Also, I don't even want to talk about lead singer because Bruce actually still can sing, even if his voice has also lowered with age, just as Jon's, but he still has a stage presence and can hold a note, while Jon struggles with that.

Bon Jovi absolutely smashed it, with their first album. We were playing this song for months, and months.

[@urthboundmisfit]

This wasn't their first album! It was their breakout. They did at least one album prior to this... possibly two. I can't remember now. But I had one of the older ones.

[@GermanLeftist]

This was the second single of their third record, "Slippery When Wet", which came out in 1986. While the first single "You Give Love a Bad Name" came out ahead of the album in the summer, it was a smash hit but it was the success of "Livin' on a Prayer" in late fall of that year that catapulted the album at no. 1 of the charts in several countries and Bon Jovi into international stardom. The first album was just titled "Bon Jovi" and is known today mainly for its lead single "Runaway", the first professionally written and recorded song by Jon Bon Jovi and the only song from the first two albums to have stayed a setlist staple after the successes of Slippery and the fourth album "New Jersey". The second album was "7800° Fahrenheit", the least played Bon Jovi album until 2015's "Burning Bridges" with only "Tokyo Road" making the odd appearances on setlists when the band played in Asia until the 2001 One Wild Night Tour. The first album was a typical glam metal album while the second album was darker and grittier due to Jon and Richie having both just come out of serious relationships. In Jon's case, things turned around soon after: His ex, his high school sweatheart Dorothea, and he got back together, they married during the Slippery When Wet Tour and Jon wrote a song about that, "Living in Sin", for the New Jersey record. They're still married to this day.

Let's face it, there are many great things about Livin' On A Prayer, but its genius is that late D-major-to-G-minor chord shift.

DMX was still in its infancy and required 3 phase power to run as you has upwards to 500 lights at up to 3000 watts each, need 3 pin stage plugs to handle it. Audio was thru 56 channel audio ANALOG boards. Imagine having to recreate a mix for each song.

"I'll be There for You" is one of my absolute favorite Bon Jovi songs. I'd love to see your reaction if you haven't done it already. 👍

[@daverhoden445]

"When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you." Love that song.

[@Devila103]

Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” is one of my all time favorites. I saw Bon Jovi in concert for their “Slippery When Wet” tour back when I was in high school. It was an awesome experience!

[@barbaraware1867]

This is what all the concerts were like in the 70’s. Believe me I went to many!

[@abbyteed]

Saw them in concert in Moncton, NB 2009! Amazing live. One of the best concerts (sound-wise) I've ever attended. They sound as fantastic live as recorded, which is no small feat. He was a total gentleman, professional, started on time. Of course, Wanted Dead or Alive was spectacular! I swear you could hear 33,000 people all shout-singing "I'm a cowboy..."

[@TardedWifey]

Hey! I worked that show! Got to clean their dressing rooms! Unfortunately all that was left behind was an American dime and a beer cap! However I still have my backstage pass and Playlist of what they played from the dressing room wall!Lol.. With AC/DC we got a set of drum sticks and a dirty sock! Haha!

[@waynelong3041]

MONCTON, NB!! WooHoo! I am listening from Phoenix, AZ, but grew up in Moncton (Monkeytown)! Hello, Abigail (& Tracy) fellow Canadian Maritimer's)! Cool!

[@TardedWifey]

[@dwoodw6990]

I've seen Bon Jovi in concert and the energy they give off is just amazing. He is a wonderful human as well. Check out Bed of Roses, I think you both will love it as well.

[@ronvonbon]

im 61 and worked with a cover band Oil Can Harry in Milwaukee WI for 20 years. I was part of the road crew. My nic name ended bein Ron Bon Jovi , and it was a blast omg. The lead singer Flap, he brought this black box with a long 1 inch hose, the box sat on the floor and the hose was on the microphone, and we did this song and that box made that cool sound.

[@garrison10461]

Here's a good Bon Jovi story. Went to their concert around '88 in Knoxville, TN. Halfway through the concert they lowered a catwalk over the audience. Jon was singing a song as he was walking over the audience. When he got in front of us somebody threw a stack of large plastic cups at him and hit him in the head. He was a true professional and never missed a word. He just smiled and kept singing. True story.

[@railguy2]

Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea's volunteer-run Soul Kitchen addresses issues of food security, while encouraging community, where diners pay for their meal either by donation or volunteering.Great Guy!

[@jessiecrookall4188]

I've seen Bon Jovi several times live and it is always awesome. Lots of energy. It was my first concert, lost my voice... Lots of lights and running all over the stage.

[@user-vd4tc3xt8b]

I heard once in an interview share a story. He had exercised to short break in his musical career and acted in some movies. He then decided to dive back in with a new album. He realize that he had not really played his music in his own home. One of his children when learning Jon was going to release, stated that he couldn't be a rock star, only a movie star!

[@user-fk6wl9mq1f]

I have seen Bon Jovi three times in concert. One went extra long because the people were so lit that he said the people got extra songs to hear because he considered San Jose his second home. Turned a 2.5 hr concert into 4 hrs and it was a awesome experience

[@Lee-Leee]

Imagine the energy in seeing him perform this live! It's everything you think and more.

[@kenhamaker]

That whole CD is full of hits. They were huge in my teens.

[@jackalope70]

For sure. This whole Album/CD is gold.

[@debbieamaral1315]

Absolutely amazing in concert

[@jessejamessimons483]

When your girls go and say "Sleep" , it means that they passed out from the overwhelming goodness ‼️

[@KEEPINGitREAL213]

When Bon Jovi Slippery when wet album came out.... They took the world by storm! It was played EVERYWHERE! Man.. I could hang out with the two of you for hours just listening/watching 80s music videos. 80s were the best time of my life!

[@sharrontaylor5448]

Bad Medicine is one of my favorites

[@phildodson6141]

My favorite bon jovi song!!!!! Although my allergies for the darndest reasons always seem to act up with I'll be there for you! Go figure!?

[@phildodson6141]

I was 13 in 88........lotbof emotions during those years!

[@bronxbomber370]

My wife and I started dating in 2010 and I knew she was my special one, so for our third date, I shelled out $500 for Bon Jovi tickets to see him in Nashville. That was such an amazing concert, but I never realized how good he was till I saw him live. Fast forward to 2022 a few months after the grand opening of the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, GA we were able to catch him once again. His concert was still an amazing and he is by far one of our favorite performers. Love you guys keep up the amazing work.

[@OddWomanOut_Pi81]

[@karenperry5422]

Another must-do: "It's My Life" - another one to sing at the top of your voice!!!!

[@charlayned]

Oh, I have this story about this guy and his band! It was Christmas season, 1985 or 86. I was working at a crystal shop in Sears in the mall in Amarillo. It's late and this group of guys (the dark headed guitar player) came up to see what I had. One of them saw a crystal ball (big 80mm) and was thinking about buying it. The blonde in the long red coat kept telling him, just buy it! And so he did. After they left, a couple girls came running up asking where they were. Something made me ask "are they someone????" Very indignant, one of them said "That's Bon Jovi!" And me? "What's a Bon Jovi?" They took off after the guys. I went home and told my husband and his cousin about it and they about ripped me to pieces because I didn't get tickets and it was a major issue that I didn't know who they were. Yep. 26 and had NO idea. I do now, though. :) Love this song. And, for the record, Jon Bon Jovi is a very nice guy, so is the band.

[@TheKelinrose]

SOOO many good Bon Jovi songs, Wanted Dead or alive, Lay your hands on me, bed of roses, Runaway, You give love a bad name, It's my life, I could go on, I won't but I could. =D

[@matthewvade6553]

When the videos for this album were done, Bon Jovi was actually still an opening act. The director of the video decided he wanted to make the band appears to be bigger and more popular than they actually were at the time, so he filmed these videos with a big stage, full light show, flying thru the air, etc. You want to see how they really were live, check out the video for "Lay Your Hands on Me." That video captures their live show from their "Jersey Syndicate" tour perfectly. It's been over 30 years, and it's still in the top five shows I've ever seen.

[@PepperTex]

When I was 6 in 1986, the bully on the bus to school would play this on his jam box, over and over..he ended up being a cool guy later...still friends now😂

[@juliehouse7327]

been watching jon bon jovi evolve for over 30 years..he is doing so much for others and still sings and looks amazing..x

[@melisawilliams2380]

im 59 and this was my band for awhile, loved the big hair. I seen the Slippery When Wet tour back in 1986. Jon flew out over the audience with that swingy thing. And yes Amber this boy was soooo fine, my God!!!

[@swissmiss9437]

Awesome you did this🎉I saw them 20 years ago 2 times in Switzerland and they entertained and rocked the stage🎉Wanted dead or alive is another awesome one. I live by this song so many times. Thank you so much, great to be reminded to live by a prayer❤❤❤

[@FannyAdamsGhost]

Like Cher, John Bon Jovi went on to do some acting as well. Yes, he IS cute, he's also aged pretty well for a rock star.

[@geneticrex]

Dead Or Alive, is an all-time classic.
