Jon Bon Jovi's Life in Albums, From His Wedding to Richie Sambora's Departure | PEOPLE

[@DopeNostalgia]

THESE DAYS is a masterpiece.

[@marymore7366]

It absolutely it! It‘s such a shame they didn’t continue down that route.

[@leonorgomez]

Totally agree

[@jetcity18]

It was the last truly great Bon Jovi record. That tour was also the absolute peak of the bands live powers.

[@daveitferris]

100!

[@brianschuster9277]

I was just about to comment this. The album from start to finish it great.

[@MonicElle]

These days saved my life. It got me through a difficult time, I was 15 when it was released. Just in time to save my life.

[@annashafto8823]

These Days and Destination Anywhere are hidden gems!

[@lorimrasek7611]

I was just speaking to my sister about Bon Jovi what a great story teller Jon is, he has this ability to bring you in. This has proved through the decades he is a master songwriter, storyteller, lyricist so I'll just say thank you.

Santa Fe on Young Guns II soundtrack is timeless. 'These Days' & 'Bounce' are fantastic albums - probably their most underrated albums in my opinion. Bon Jovi is the soundtrack to my life.

[@iwasthererecording]

I especially loves the violin at the end, great song!

[@heather6668]

The Bounce album is another great one. I loved every song on it. Crush is also great. I don't think they have a bad album. New Jersey is fabulous as is Slippery When Wet.

[@VictorioAdolfo]

I'M 54 YEARS OLD NOW, AND I STILL LOVE HEAR THE SONGS OF THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME, BON JOVI.

[@Seansworld17]

I’m also 54 and every time I see John I never really see him at his age I still see him the same energetic young guy.

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

[@clomwah]

I'm 24 and Bon Jovi has been one of my favourite bands ever since I was about 10 😭

[@yeahboi7562]

Well, 47 and they were my first concert experience.. rock on!

[@RhondaPuckett-ln1mu]

I am older than that. And can hear. Lol. Well most things. The worst thing would be to never hear his music again for they have been my favorite ever. Alot good bands but none touch this one. I better you will listen until last breath. I will. Be blessed and happy.

[@user-yukinko777]

I knew that for 10 years John had been waiting for Ritchie to come back🔥 I hope they can stand on the same stage and sing "Wanted Dead or Alive" together❣️❣️

[@jp3813]

Many fans don't realize that Cross Road is actually one of the best-selling albums of all time. It ranks between Slippery When Wet & New Jersey in terms of the band's releases. A significant reason for that success was the single "Always", which recently just became their 3rd video to reach a billion views behind "It's My Life" & "Livin' on a Prayer". Even deep into the 90s when most 80s bands were struggling, they proved that they were still one of the biggest musical acts in the world.

[@Wigfield84]

Always is what brought me in when I was 8 years old 😊

[@ianmccown]

I got my mother to buy me the crossroads cd in like 03 or something! I grew up on Bon Jovi!

[@Sakura_Shadows]

It was the first Bon Jovi CD I owned. A fantastic introduction to all the eras of the band at that point.

[@azimhulaimi]

Actually I bought the cassette Cross Road so that I can listen to all the best hits and it grew me as a fan from there when I was young. Bon Jovi to me is one of the best rock bands I've known. Used to jam their songs when I was in my teens. So sad his voice will never be as once what it was but he does the best he can. His bandmates are really supportive of him.

[@jp3813]

@@azimhulaimi Unfortunately, hits like "Born to Be My Baby" weren't included and "Never Say Goodbye" was excluded in the American release.

[@brandyl2183]

I love Jon. Always have since I was a young girl in the 80s. He’s still so handsome but in the 80s and 90s I thought there was no other man as beautiful as Jon. Thanks Bon Jovi for a lifetime of great music for so many of us.

[@chilly6470]

7800 (can't find degrees symbol) is so underrated. I still have the cassette from when I was 7 or 8 years old.

[@yianniszcovers]

7800f is awesome. only lonely, hardest part is the night, price of love ...etc Jon is more interested in politics that music these days.

[@shawnpooley]

I loved this album in 1985. In fact when Slippery first came out I actually remember thinking "this isn't as good as 7800 F". I wish he was more fond of it, but I remember in an interview a long time ago that he and Richie were just coming out of break-ups and it was a sad time in their personal lives and the songs were about those times.

[@rob-pm7gb]

That's crazy, when 7800 came out I couldn't get enough and the videos were great. One of their best albums.

[@Bernz66]

I still have my LP…. It is a underrated album

[@joe429t]

[@kellyejones9495]

Jon is My Hero, Always, My Superman & My Dearest Friend too; Still humble til this day, after 40 yrs & counting… TFS, Take Care!! LOVE JBJ + BON JOVI FOREVER🩷🙏🏼🩷

[@jstathon84]

I was at the Calgary concert where Richie wasn't there, Jon had said We thought we can leave and not perform, or do our best to give you a great show. And they did!

[@nikkibee6319]

That's cool the band still pulled through. :)!

[@marcoardon777]

Wow. Amazing. Who played guitar for that night? Greetings from Ontario 🇨🇦

Why? Did he cheat?

[@jasonl1942]

That's great considering it's a confessional song about Jon and his cheating.

[@EM-cs3lb]

No matter what but Jon Bon Jovi and Ritchie Sambora are a perfect blend of rock, ballad, slow rock etc... I wish you guys will collabarate again very soon. God bless the band

[@zakkiblakk]

Growing up as a Bon Jovi fan (since I was 4 years old, thanks mom!) I can map my life's memories around these albums. To say this band has changed and shaped my life is an understatement... I am so excited to watch the documentary this weekend!

[@Lauren_22613]

Me too!!! At 4 years old also! I have sooo many fond childhood memories of Bon Jovi! 🤘🏼🩷🩷🩷 Even my current license plate to this day commemorates slippery when wet 😊 So psyched for the documentary!!

[@pacochuquiure5459]

The first 6 albums + the Young Guns solo album are the pinacle of Bon Jovi. Just the BEST.

[@GalenJoyce-ff2cp]

My favorite is New Jersey.

[@warlock____]

agreed. absolutely the glory days. also count richie sambora's solo album in there as well

[@theandiller]

Their best work to this day actually is Lost Highway. You can’t beat it from an artistic point of view! It was so different from anything they did before. The lyrics, the arrangements - the best!

[@Bernz66]

@@theandillerHave to check that one out…. I stopped listening after New Jersey…. I started getting into heavier music after that back then….

[@BadHorsie1]

I fully agree. Everything up to 1995 was great then there's a bit of a decline to 2005. Everything after 2005 is nonsense.

[@JJShaw1210]

"I'll be there for you" is held close to my heart. I was a military brat, and my friends called the radio station over and over until they got put on with DJ, I still have that tape, where they tell the DJ I was moving from Hawaii back to NY because my father was retiring. My friends truly made me feel loved with that tape from the radio. What no one would know is that 4 years later, my father did business with Jon, and dad allowed me to go, and we had Chinese food in Hells Kitchen. He is truly just as nice and easygoing as he shows the world. He's an amazing human being.

[@hawtmess66]

I was 17 when i heard runaway. I was hoping you werent going to be a one hit wonder then i was thrilled with the hits after hits after hits. Your music changed my life by the feelings it gave me and changed the way i felt about music in general. Youre the only band i play always. Thank you for changing my life regarding music and feelings. Congratulations on 40. I happen to be 40 also since i found you when you started

[@Tessa-dg4no]

All bon Jovi s tunes are to me cool and awesome I am glad bon Jovi feels better and is still singing and miss bon Jovi s voice and the band tess❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@missscofie1825]

I've been a fan since the beginning saw them when they were an opening band and then twice after when they were at their peak ! BEST BAND EVER

[@getchapull4370]

Massive respect to this guy & the rest of the band, my real love is hard rock & metal, the first Jovi album up to Keep the faith are excellent, it doesn't matter what I think of the music after Faith, people change, music changes, tastes change, the music this band has given us is a true gift, Runaway, bad name, prayer, wanted, faith, bed of, always, I'll be there, bad medicine, blaze, the list goes on & on, for me Jovi's masterpiece has always been Wanted dead or alive, as a teenager this tune stopped me in my tracks, it's so good it should be illegal, its music of champions. Is there a better cowboy rock song?! Not for me, for that reason alone I can't dis this band or music they have released since. I've seen them twice, Jersey & Faith tours, both amazing gigs. Thank you for the music guys, it's timeless & will live on forever. Cheers...

[@terrijovi6100]

I have been on the ride since my first concert in 87 and it has been Bon Jovi Forever since...

[@batlevi2247]

Jon’s wrong about 7800 Fahrenheit! I love that album! Songs like In and Out Love, Only Lonely, The Hardest Part Is The Night, and Always Run To You are badass songs. They deserve more love!

[@pacochuquiure5459]

Jon is wrong on many things but specially on his asessment about 7800 Fahrenheit. Better album cover, title and songs than the 2020 album by a million miles. I recommend every hard rock fan or even casual rock fan to listen to 7800 Fahrenheit.

[@BigCityNights87]

💯 couldn't agree more

[@h4wk3y308]

Silent Night is cool too… love it…

[@Laissez-faire402]

Definitely not as good as the debut, Slippery, New Jersey or Keep the Faith, but better than anything afterward.

I have heard the stories of why the band doesn't like 7800° Fahrenheit, although I have to say, it is one of my favorites, I still listen to it to this day. "In and Out of Love", "Only Lonely", The Hardest Part Is The Night. Good memories

[@richardmahfouz4392]

It's amazing that he doesn't like his BEST album, I don't care about the artwork or the name of the album, the fact is musically and lyrically 7800 degrees fahrenheit is his BEST album. The reason he doesn't like it is because it didn't sell well, and that's not because it isn't a great album, it's because it was released at a time when other more established bands at that time also released albums and unfortunately it just got lost in the shuffle, but it's a fantastic album, his best in my opinion, yes even better than Slippery when wet.
