Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Jon Bon Jovi - Blaze Of Glory!

[@KatyFaulkner-f6c]

Wanted Dead or Alive was first and the film maker of Young Guns wanted it for the movie and Jon BonJovi said no, but he would do a new original for it and this is the song.

[@pedromartinez-xt7ye]

Well said

[@hk45c62]

Wanted Dead Or Alive was used for the movie Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man.

[@afoolandhiscameras7658]

He did this for Young Guns 2

[@Lotus3787]

Yeah, slight edit - John Fuso states he was listening to Wanted whist writing Young Guns 2 and wanted it as the soundtrack, Emilio approached him but Jon said it wouldn’t fit so offered to write a new song which turned into the full album and gave him his first tiny cameo which started his try at acting. Black Pegasus add it to the playlist!

[@bidwell13]

I think this song fits the movie a lot better than Wanted Dead or Alive.

[@d.kyrstede3556]

"Blaze of Glory" by Jon Bon Jovi was written for the 1990 movie Young Guns II. The song was inspired by a request from Emilio Estevez, who played Billy the Kid in the movie, for Bon Jovi's song "Wanted Dead or Alive". However, Bon Jovi didn't think the lyrics of "Wanted Dead or Alive" fit the movie's Western theme. Instead, he wrote "Blaze of Glory" with lyrics that were more relevant to the film.

[@Chris55555.]

Speaking of the movie Young Guns 2, you should definitely think about starting a KZbin channel reacting to movies, love Young Guns 2.

[@holiwood72]

Young Guns. No part 2

[@DaP84]

This song came after. Emilio Estevez asked John to include "Wanted Dead Or Alive" in the soundtrack of "Young Guns 2". But John thought the lyrics were inappropriate for the movie. So he wrote "Blaze Of Glory". And yeah, this song is a masterpiece!

[@elizabethfranco1284]

This was written for Young Guns 2 . Both films Young Guns 1 and 2 are really good movies.

[@dinomustang]

Young Guns 1 and 2 are both classics. It's the rare case where the sequel is as good if not better than the original. Definitely Worth your time to watch them both

[@user-dc6ut5uu3t]

The music video for Jon Bon Jovi's song "Blaze of Glory" was filmed at The Rectory, a sandstone summit in Grand County, Utah. The Rectory is located near Moab, Utah. The crew camped on top of The Rectory for two nights to film the video. The video features aerial shots of Bon Jovi surrounded by castle-like formations. It also includes a projector screen showing the movie Young Guns II, which inspired the song. The video was shot in 1990.

[@yalandafish]

This song is for the Young Guns 2 about Billy the kid. This is my all time favorite song ❤❤❤❤ My favorite line from the movie is when Kiefer Southerland said You are not a God and Emilio Estevez said Pull the trigger and find out!!! Love that ❤❤❤❤

[@marfmang511]

[@jesusramirez-bj6qv]

This song was nominated for an Oscar

[@Shortsac72]

"Dawg... DAWG! Did you see the size of that chicken?!?!" One of my favorite lines of any movie ever! This song is a FOREVER on my playlist; and it's responsible for two speeding tickets 😆 EDIT. The movies made this song what it became. Such incredible actors in their youth all together. To get two of them together 10 yesrs later would have cost more than the whole cast of "the gang" for Young Guns. Naturally; the casting cost went up dramatically for Young Guns II.. Both such incredible movies. Add this banger song as it's headline tune.. The "Package" was completed!

[@BanditHeelerOhBiscuits]

“We're in the spirit world a**hole, they can't see us” is probably my favorite movie quote of all-time!!

[@loraelstad8941]

That whole scene was gold!

[@isaacfroeber3918]

I'll make you famous 😊😊😊

[@amyrhoades8735]

Yes! I quote this line all the time and most people nowadays have no idea what I’m talking about. I get some strange looks. Hahaha

[@jelestra]

Bit of random trivia - in case you weren't aware - Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen were both in "Young Guns", as well as "Men at Work", and several others. They are also brothers. They have at least one other brother, who also used the Estevez name, who was also an actor, if not as well known. Their father Martin Sheen Americanized his name early in his career to avoid being type-cast.

[@evanm1815]

This song is fire!! Next should be Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi

This was a solo album by Jon Bon Jovi not the band, he was ask to write the songs for the movie soundtrack. Many artists contributed to Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory album, which was inspired by the 1990 film Young Guns II. Some of the artists who played on the album include: Jon Bon Jovi: Played vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and piano Jeff Beck: Played lead and slide guitar, including the solo on "Blaze of Glory" Elton John: Played acoustic piano and sang backing vocals on "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin'" Little Richard: Sang and played acoustic piano on "You Really Got Me Now" Benmont Tench: Played organ, acoustic piano, and more Phil Parlapiano: Played accordion Aldo Nova: Played guitar, keyboards, and more Danny Kortchmar: Played guitar, acoustic guitar, and more Randy Jackson: Played bass Kenny Aronoff: Played drums and percussion Alan Silvestri: Composed and conducted the album, and arranged strings. A real artist collaboration, produced 4 number 1 hits, lyrics are incredible for all these songs.

[@sarahberry4389]

Great song!! Killer movies Young Guns and Young Guns 2 !! Killer song! Thanks for the reaction loved it!!

[@beaupalmercoinhunter]

The entire Blaze of Glory Album was the Soundtrack for Young Guns II. What a couple amazing movies they were!!! Jon Bon Jovi was also in the movie. He gets shot in the prison break.

[@djdex68]

[@susieautrey6112]

Jon Bon Jovi wrote this one especially for the movie Young Guns II. They asked for Wanted Dead or Alive, but he didn't wanted them to use that one.

[@scottNNJ]

Interesting. I didn’t know they requested the other song, but Bon Jovi has had a cowboy motif in many of their songs, which is peculiar since they’re from New Jersey.

[@wassupinlasvegas9735]

Aldo Nova came up with the guitar riff.

[@user-EricWatson55]

"Wanted Dead Or Alive" came first. This one was on the soundtrack for "Young Guns 2". Jon Bon Jovi was the big winner at the MTV Music Awards for this soundtrack.

[@arturnienartowicz7213]

"Wanted..." was from 1986 album, and this one was written for "Young Guns II" movie (1990)

[@BryanPruett-li9zl]

Young guns 1 and 2 are flat out amazing!!!! Those are movies you really need to watch!!!! Speaking of... Emilio estevez is working on part 3 right now! No joke!!

[@christopherderoy3153]

Whaaaaaat!!!! What!!!! This entire album is fantastic! Especially the song Santa Fe with the beautiful lyric: and I blame this world for making a good man evil. It’s this world that could drive a good man mad. And it’s this world that turns a killer into a hero. Well, I blame this world for making a good man bad! That lyric is forever true. Just beautiful

[@kevinmarshall854]

Jones Bon Jovi is friends with Emilio Estevez who was in one of the leading roles in the movie "YOUNG GUNS" and when they wanted to use Bon Jovi's song "Wanted dead or alive " they refused but when they were doing the sequel Emilio asked Jon again and he asked if he could just write a new song and Jon happened to bring his guitar with him so he said he would give it a try and he said that he would see what he could do after asking what the movie was about. Jon said that the song came together in just a few hours and he went to the director and Emilio Estevez and played what he had written and they were both blown away.

[@93kingu]

Nice reaction! Drive in's? Haven't heard that term in a while. I saw Star Wars Empire Strikes Back in a drive in when it came out....I was just a kid, but still remember it vividly.

[@Bipolarbear1221]

Love this song and the young guns movies. I used to play this for my son when he was a toddler and he would put his hand up when the drums start military beat and drop it down and say "shot down" when the beat dropped! Love that memory!

[@RaichnotTHATrach]

Yes it's from Young Guns 2... Fun fact .. this was the first movie Jon Bon Jovi appeared in .. blink and you'll miss it . But it's what gave him the acting bug and he went on to star in 13 other movies, filming when not touring with the band

[@charles28971]

Awesome song and movie is a classic

[@janflewelling6277]

I'm 70. When I was little (5 or 6 yo) mom and dad would have my sister and me put on our PJ's and we'd go to the drive-in. We could play on the playground, then share some popcorn and watch the cartoons before the movie came on. We were asleep before long. Great way for parents to have date night without paying a babysitter. 🤣🤣

[@pfunk1380]

This song gives me chills every time… I grew up on Bon Jovi and Young Guns

[@beckiramsey9561]

Love Bon Jovi, love this song!!❤❤ Always was crushing on Jon! 😊

[@retro-robbo]

1986 for Wanted, 1990 for Blaze of Glory. The band took a break and Jon took to a solo project for the movie Young Guns 2 to write the soundtrack, this being the main theme.

I live about ten miles from Lincoln, NM where the actual events in the movie are centered. Love this movie.

[@jadefire1814]

You remembered correctly! It is Emilio. The "Young Guns " were, Emilio Estevez, Keifer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater and Balthazar Getty. With William Petersen (of CSI fame) as the Sheriff. This is from Young Guns II, though, if I remember right. Both films are a lot of fun! Great react as always, BP!

[@phairground]

YES! The drive-in theater where you saw The Lion King was actually on Platte, a street over from Galley. Perkins was already there and still is, but a Walmart now sits where the drive-in was. I saw the best double feature in my life there. Cliffhanger, with Stallone, and Last Action Hero, with Schwarzenegger!

[@arturnienartowicz7213]

A little curio fact: Jon Bon Jovi actually roughed it, sleeping in a tent on that plateau for the shoot of the video, while the rest of them choppered to hotel. He wanted to soak in the atmosphere, to get a better feel for the shoot. He also had a small part in the movie.

[@user-EricWatson55]

"Men At Work" starring Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen was hilarious! 😂 They wrote it themselves.

[@billkeithchannel]

BP and I have the same movie pop in our heads when Emilio's name is bought up. Maybe because the movie's commercial was on a lot and I was a fan of the Collin Hay band of the same name.

You need to listen to it again, love the lyrics to this song!

[@Tabris93]

Yes, this is the soundtrack that Jon Bon Jovi (solo) did for Young Guns 2. I strongly recommend listening to the rest of this album. Not necessarily for reactions, but just for your own sake. The lyrics and production of this soundtrack has stood the test of time and it's absolutely incredible. Especially if you have seen the movie first and know the world and the story from which the songs are based upon.

[@karenmackenzie732]

Emilio Estevez was so impressed with this song, and with Jon, he gave him a cameo in the film. If you look closely he's in one of the shootout scenes for a few seconds

[@Oh_that_mle]

The Young Guns II soundtrack is one of my favorites to this day. I received it as a gift for my birthday in 1990 and I listened to the tape until it broke. 😂

Just AWESOME

[@stevehamilton8824]

Such a damn good song! JBJ wrote an incredible song for the movie Young Guns II. Young Guns and Young Guns II are incredible movies with Emilio Estevez, Keiffer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Philips and others about Billy the Kid. So well done! This song just has a vibe. Wanted Dead or Alive was written first. This is Jon Solo but Richie Sambora (lead guitarist for Bon Jovi) helped to write and sang backup and played guitar on. This is definitely one for my playlist. Gives me chills every time.

[@MacMc691]

In our area, most of the drive-ends have been closed. One that was about ready to close years ago was kept open due to ton of area support. It has something like eight screens, it's a fairly sizeable location. The youngsters that have never had the chance to experience it, they're missing out, especially when you're in your teens, whether it's taking a date there, or being the one hiding in the trunk, good times. For the younger generation out there, go it you get a chance. Yeah, this song was a classic at the time for the movie Young Guns 2. Still holds up.

Stumbled across your channel tonight on a couple of videos highlighting country singers. I am an elderly woman that very much liked the music of Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Charlie Pride, and BoCephus. You caught my attention that you are not afraid to mention the name of Jesus, that you seem to be a man that truly loves your family. How refreshing. I like that you could look past the imagery of what seemed to be White America in the song,Are the Good days Really Over, Merle Haggard, and see that the song is for all of us, glad you didn't try to interject racism into that imagery. Thank you. You have a fan in me, an elderly, white, very conservative, old woman, born n bred in the Heart of Dixie! And you are right , we don't look at what is called the Confederate flag as an emblem of slavery, rather it is a source of pride of being just plain folk, blue collar, etching out a living , loving our families, loving God and wanting to find the joy in life, no matter what comes our way.
