Jon Bon Jovi once gave a perfect response to a reporter who questioned his creativity for not changing up his music during live shows. He said that the songs aren't just his-they belong to his fans. He doesn’t have the right to steal their memories by altering them. Those classic hits hold special places in people's lives, and he respects that by delivering them just as fans remember. It's about honoring the connection and nostalgia his audience has with the music. That’s why Bon Jovi has stood the test of time!

Jon Bon Jovi was very smart, he was the only one that had the recording contract out of the band, he paid his band as employees, he made them all philthy Rich. He went through the 80s pretty much sober, and handled his business as if it was a business. While most of the other 80s bands just squandered all their earnings and partied really hard. He has some really catchy hits, one of those guys that had at least one song that everybody liked.

Bon Jovi was the king of ballads and catchy songs like this, "Never Say Goodbye", "In These Arms", "I'll be there for You". For something more energetic, try the "Born to be my Baby", the "Living on a Prayer" anthem, or "It's my Life". Tons of hits.

This is one of my favorites. When I was younger I would go to a friend's house to listen to the guys jam and play songs. One of the guys is now playing with Bon Jovi. He put up a guitar video of him playing on KZbin. Bon Jovi contacted him and the rest is history. This also reminds me of what I did for a woman that I believe to be the ultimate woman for me. I went out and bought 3 dozen roses and de-thorned them. I put one dozen in a vase. Then the rest I put in a horse shoe shape on my pillow and bed. She came over to my place and I told her to close her eyes and picked her up and carried her into my room and put her down in a bed of roses. The look in her eyes was priceless when she saw the rose. Very special moment. Thanks for your reaction videos. Have a great day.

It's Richie Sambora in the mountain. Jon said he already did that for Blaze of Glory video, so he said send Richie. Jon Bon Jovi wrote the song "Bed of Roses" in a hotel room while hungover, and the lyrics reflect his feelings at the time. The song was first featured on Bon Jovi's 1992 album Keep the Faith and was released as a single on January 11, 1993. The song is 6:33 long on the album and 5:05 long in the edit.

My favorite Bon Jovi song is one that almost no one talks about "Miracle". This song is a poignant reflection on the struggles and the need for hope in the face of adversity. The lyrics convey a sense of weight and burden, as if the protagonist is carrying the world on their shoulders, a conmmon metaphor for feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. The song speaks to the human condition, the search for meaning, and the desire for a miraculous intervention in difficult times. It's so good 👍🤓👌

Great reaction to an amazing rock band. Whilst watching this I looked up Jon Bon Jovi and was surprised to read that "During a stop in Los Angeles on The New Jersey Syndicate Tour he secretly took a trip to Las Vegas and married his high school sweetheart, Dorethea Hurley, at the Graceland Wedding Chapel. The couple have four children: A daughter, Stephanie, and the boys. That melted my heart. Can you react to Always next please, another power ballad but I think you'll be all in for hearing it. That and Livin' On A Prayer. I also love their song Bad Medicine which is a bit more rock and less ballad if that's what you're looking for. As far as the shredding and piano on the mountain top, apparently the music video producer wanted Jon up there, but he said "I was on top of a mountain in 'Blaze of Glory', send them" (Richie Sambora and David Bryan)!!! My first thoughts are it's all show, I mean where's the power source for the electric guitar? And maybe it's a fake piano, though maybe they did airlift a real one up there, who knows. They were really up there though, special effects weren't that great when this came out and I think we'd notice if it was green screen, which is all they had back then I think.
