First Time Hearing Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer | REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@rhondaatkins1776]

This is one of those songs that everyone liked no matter which genre of music they favored

[@hafadude69]

There was so much variety of music in the 80s, which is why I believe it was the best time for music.

[@TheDivayenta]

Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi runs free grocery stores for the poor. He really cares what he writes about! ❤❤❤❤

[@jeffdickens9556]

The '80's was the greatest decade EVER. Graduated high school in '85 loved that decade ❤

[@glennvanzandt3011]

I respectful disagree. It was the 70s 😊

[@greg2976]

[@jp3813]

@@glennvanzandt3011 As an NBA, WWE, & Nintendo fan; I can't really agree w/ the 70s.

[@leroyrs]

I agree the 80s was the best decade for music. Way more versatile

[@gsharonali237]

hell yeah still love this music

[@garyblevins3532]

I'm 57 years old and have lived through and heard some of the best of music that was ever produced! Welcome hun

[@ToddPro]

Yep, 52 here, best music in our era!

[@rhondaatkins1776]

53, here!

[@ToddPro]

This song was HUGE back in the day, remember livin' this decade, what a time!!

[@deucesdad11]

It was a time. My first memories. Born in 79 raised on mtv

[@AnnaMarie66]

We had such fun times!! No Auto tune & NO CELL PHONES!😂100% totally living in the moments of the music & the fantastic bands! Epic!

[@AnnaMarie66]

He STILL sounds great & looks gorgeous at 62 years old!!🔥🔥🔥

[@Lumens2014]

First album I ever bought - Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi. Relentlessly played on my radio/alarm/cassette combo lol. Favourite tune is Wanted dead or alive.

[@leif712009]

Being in high school in the 80’s, this song was one we all knew and played. At the local roller rink when this song came on EVERYONE jumped up and got on the floor to skate to this one screaming the words as we skated 😅

[@SantiagoTM1]

To go back to those days Sir. In my HS, no one ever missed the High School Social Dance. U had to have dress shoes, clear shirt & tie with a Sports Coat just to be allowed in. The girls also had to dress, & damn did they dress so well. In a time when we all wore suits. Look @the NBA of the 80's & how the Head Coaches dressed to impress. Celtics@Lakers, NBA Finals & how everyone dressed.

[@FallenHellscape]

No, no, no.... Tommy lost his job on the docks. He's not a bum. He's trying to get back on his feet. And Gina is there for him.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

She didn't listen to the first sentence of the song. 😂

[@sannaolsson9106]

If you continued watching her reaction you'd see that she didn't understand at first that Tommy and Gina were together, she thought it was seperate. She realised it as the song went on.

[@sannaolsson9106]

​@@Chris-eo9khAnd yet you did the exact same thing with this reaction lol. She realises a little later that Tommy and Gina are together.

[@michaelpatske788]

We're half way there....

[@christopherking4932]

Not surprised at all.

[@dennyd9]

This was our ANTHEM!!!! Glad you found them Baby....Enjoy!

[@toycelicagt4wd]

I just love the reaction when you understood the lyrics. It took a minute, but you got there :)

[@dartanian72]

I am 52 now, damn those 80's and 90's were a lot of fun.

[@j348011]

I'm 52. We had a blast!!! And still do sometimes. I still go out to show and concerts and music festivals. I've always been a music lover of all types! The 60s through the 90s was phenomenal! In all different genres of music.

[@michelled5060]

I was 11 years old when this album came out in 1986. It got played A LOT!

[@Daehawk]

Ah the late 80s. Was so long ago now for me. Fun times. Me as a late age teenager with my first car...the fun of my life was just starting. Now Ive lived my life of fun and love. Wife I met back then and had for 30+ years passed on 6 years ago now/ Im still here listening to old music and remembering good times. What a life. Now for a little fun meds and enjoy the Easter weekend.

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

Good times and good memories, brother. Hold on and don’t let go. I’m sorry about your wife.

[@robynmawer769]

I grew up with these guys...back when they weren't famous! Lol They Rocked Us ALL!!!😊

[@Tarlkov]

This song was a 'must have' on many a mixed tape, back in the late 80s.

[@jimsteinmanfan80]

We had lots of male rock musicians with long hair who played uptempo music: Unskinny bop by Poison, Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard, Cherry pie by Warrant, We're not gonna take it by Twisted sister and The final countdown by Europe among others. The disco era in the mid 1970's with groups like Village people, The Jacksons, Hot Chocolate, KC and the Sunshine band, Wild cherry and Boney M were even more uptempo though and so were the glam rock of the early 1970's and the early rock 'n' roll of the 1950's.

[@sasapetroski981]

Listen this when drive my car😊😊😊

[@lindataggart9076]

she loves him hes down on his luck..it all balances out..

[@christopherking4932]

Today's generation ain't listening just pretending

[@reyybarra390]

I was around when Bon Jovi came on the scene with this powerful song that was played over and over on the radio and dominated the MTV video scene!! They are true Super Stars and lot of people thought they were strange and full of themselves until they stopped to listen to their powerful lyrics a d music!! This is one of my all time songs I listen to for inspiration!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@rogercoles3973]

That guitar sound that you like is an effect called a "talk box". If you look at the video when he is using the talkbox you can see that he has a clear rubber tube in his mouth. the tube is taped to the microphone. When he activates the switch with his foot the guitar is diverted from the amplifier and sent up the tube in his mouth. he then reflects the sound from his mouth into the microphone and manipulates his mouth and lips to make the effect. at about 4:50 in your video when you talk about the guitar you can see the tube in his mouth!

[@mintoxace5571]

This song still kicks a$$ when we play it live at gigs. The crowd go crazy. 🔥

[@cherivogerl2343]

The '80's had the best music! I was in my 20's! It was an amazing time to enjoy the music!

[@jackthe_tripper2544]

We wanna see that Reel of u singing in the car driving... That's what we did. You can too. Best reaction again to my top favorite Classics ❤❤❤

[@Sirpepperoneee1stofhisname]

when your head stars bobbin the song already got yah

[@Minotaur92]

This has to be the most well known chorus/song in history, right? I can't think of another one even close to this.

[@djm4457]

Absolutely right! Go to a Bon Jovi concert and you'll hear 20,000 fans singing the chorus at the top of their lungs. John Bon Jovi just holds out his mike to the crowd and let's them take it from there!

[@c.s.m.k5737]

Rocked that in high school in the mid 90s 😁

It was the greatest time to be alive!!!

[@boxcarhobo7017]

Shot out to Tommy. I vouch for that guy. He be a real stand up Joe. Dude is a beast. He may get knocked down, but bruh always gets right back up on his feet and proceeds to crush it. Never bet against Tommy. He The Goat.

[@zealac]

He's so fine 👏 I'm grateful I grew up on this music.. Bon Jovi was my first concert❤ So glad I can go back with music & remember good times

[@kielhall8363]

He’s not a bum he’s working on the docks. That means he’s a longshoreman Gina she works in a diner, those are eateries and New Jersey they’re working together to accomplish a goal. This is what this song means.

[@GroupieDoBTS]

It was AMAZING. And we knew it.

[@zughoytim]

My first music show was bon jovi.... and it was absolutely amazing! So much fireworks hahaha. Can't stop smiling

[@stevensapyak7971]

3.30.24. At the 5:22 mark of the video, what you’re hearing is called a talk box🎸 Joe Walsh utilized it in his song, Rocky Mountain Way in 1973, another famous artist, Peter Frampton also utilized it.

[@larryjewell7048]

THE UNION'S BEEN ON STRIKE. Take note.

[@jakesmith5278]

THIS!!

[@lindakilby2979]

My Jersey Boy John Bon Jovi! Good music… good man! He has JBJ Soul Kitchen a community restaurant. Pay what you can afford, or donate, or your time as a volunteer for his foundation.

[@GunsNGames248]

Bon jovi steel horse I ride.... this song was in a lot of movies

[@DevInvest]

“Roller Coaster” is a beautiful song by Bon Jovi.

[@dwainwilder7337]

Hot song, one of his best!

[@alfredvela369]

Yeah Tommy isn’t a bum when you get laid off because of a union strike. He’s hasn’t given up. And Gina has his back.

[@thehonestman26]

Not sure if it's somewhere else in the comments, but that's not a guitar you're hearing and referring to. He's doing that with his voice over a talk box. Great effect on this song.

[@martinsv9183]

"You Give Love a Bad Name" is also good.

[@LESRome2526]

There's so much music I want to send your way to listen to. I don't know where to start. And I mean these are some certified classics!!!

Loved your reaction! ❤️👍🏻

[@candyalmetrabaxter7871]

OH yeah!!! the survival anthem of all time...and here is my Rock bias...Jon Bon Jovi

[@espenvippen]

He sang Once upon a time, not so long ago Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike. You should do more of that. Join a trade union and organize yourselves. Then it will be better for everyone who works. So he is not a loser, but a man who demands a reasonable salary. Greetings from Europe.

[@Lophophorawilliamsii]

All the girls melt with Bon Jovi

[@jsutigers8954]

Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi is the Shiss🎯

[@Thedesertguy75]

Best decade ever, hands down. 🎉🎉🎉🎉Gen X!!!

[@kristiefreeman5177]

Tommy and Gina are a couple. Tommy lost his job because the union went on strike. She is bringing home her pay to help out. He is not a bum. Glad to see you picked up on it later in the song!!

[@romysan1]

This came out of the 70's music. I saw them live circa "85......They did some great music...ran hard for about 15 years and then......?

[@tomshorraw8704]

Lots of great music in the 80's

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

I was a teenager in high school when this album EXPLODED. My friends and I were all in love with Jon Bon Jovi and we all had big hair here in New Jersey. Bon Jovi are Jersey boys ❤

[@aragorn1ring]

Even growing up in the 90s we would blast this in the car with the windows open and just belting out the chorus not caring who we offended lol

[@Trifler500]

He's talking about some tough times, but it's uplifting music. :)

[@pulses33]

When this song came out in 1987....me and one of my best friends (RIP JOHNNY) would walk all over the neighborhood with a boombox jamming this song!!! Those were the days !!

[@leroyrs]

1986

[@indianboy72]

I was there. It was amazing!!!!. Never be anything like it again.

[@EM-cs3lb]

Don't try to understand the song instead just flow with the music and enjoy it because this is one of Bon Jovi and the band best songs ever

[@hunter77771]

Mannn..bon jovi was just too fine back then...and he still looking good today...lol...i love this song forever..n the video

[@TheRealKymiPoo]

🧡 OMG! My cousin was so in love with Jon it was sickening. I like this song but she made me not wanna hear it for years! Teenagers r weird! Lol 😂 TFS!

[@bretthackett4124]

Please do bed of roses and always. And yes, this is in my time and you're exactly right!

Richie Sambora on guitar, one of the best in rock...also as the previous have said on a talk box to give his voice that sound.

[@susananderson1495]

Listen to their song, Lay you down on a Bed of Roses. Beautiful song.

[@RonaldCanfield-m2r]

"It's My Life" has a similar vibe and even makes reference to Tommy & Gina from this tune. "Wanted Dead or Alive" is another standout from them.

[@henriksarkozi134]

She is so beautiful

[@storyvilledistrict]

Dead or Alive is my favorite

I love Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi is the lead singer and he is so cute and a very nice guy! Richie Sambora, the lead guitarist is pretty cute too! They were one of the premier "hair bands" of the eighties! Check out their hits, "You Give Love A Bad Name" and "It's My Life"!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CJ-Fischer]

I liked when Phil X joined the band. He was incredibly

[@shorty9617]

Not to mention he so cute!

[@teresamcclendon9029]

I had a great time!🙏🏼❤❤❤🙋

[@mickem4322]

Yep, we had some great Parties to this one.. Now perhaps do "Wanted Dead or Alive" .. The Guitarr player Richie Sambora actually has got a better voice than Jon, so don`t be afraid to react to some of Richies Solo songs .. "Father Time" , "Ballad of Youth" , "Stranger in this Town" , "Church of Desire"...:D

[@clarenceparker7832]

Hey Ashley, Jersey Boys Up!! Bon Jovi the first song( Livin On A Prayer) 1986 that made them famous! If like that song, check out there other hit song "Wanted dead Or Alive"!! well young lady you take care and stay safe! AR Squad Out!

[@mikeaninger7388]

HOLD ON!!! Tommy is a dock worker, not a bum! A longshoreman. It has a union. The union strikes, demanding more pay, and nobody works.

If you wanna check out some super soulful stuff from the 90's. Check out some fionna apple. Criminal is a good start, or, across the universe (which is a beatles cover)

[@highlogic518]

Now that you watched that video you need to check out the husband and wife who sang this song at a gas pump in a Jay Leno prank. No reaction request just enjoy and thanks for your reactions.I was in my 20s during the 80s. You take me back to really nice places.
