WHAT A SHOW!| FIRST TIME HEARING Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You REACTION

[@johncook2765]

Richie Sambora is the back up vocalist and lead guitartist of Bon Jovi. He's an amazing vocalist. I highly suggest you listen to Dead Or Alive. His vocals and guitar on that are top notch. Also he has some great solo songs of his own. Stranger In This Town is a great blues rock song by Richie. Also the songs One Light Burning and Father Time

[@daverudbarg]

Dead or Alive #1 Karaoke song!!!

[@scottNNJ]

There are acoustic versions of Dead or Alive, as well as Livin’ on a Prayer, with just Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. Both share the spotlight equally, no relegating one to the shadow like in this video.

[@crandyran]

Yes please listen to Dead or Alive y’all!! Thanks for the awesome reactions! ❤️

I was just about to say how talented Richie Sambora is , you took the words right outta my mouth…. I was totally crushing on him back in the day!

Finally!!! This is one of the greatest songs from one of the greatest bands!!! Heck, one of the greatest songs of the 80's! It was a well deserved #1 hit in 1989. 😎

[@Ancient_Drummer]

Tico Torres is such an underrated drummer. Dude just knows how to drop the right fill every time. His accents are always on point. Just a great band all around!

[@Wildflowert]

Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi had a magic that has been missing since Richie left the band. They really were a dynamic duo. Richie’s background vocals completed the songs. Listen to a BJ without Richie, its not the same. He is an underrated guitarist and singer. Please react to Richie’s solo music. React to “Stranger in this town”, “One Light Burning”, “Mr Bluesman”. Thanks for this react!

Those are good choices, but I also have to add Rosie. That one is my personal favorite.

@@scottfield5849 it’s Jon’s band, it’s Eddie’s band, it’s 0zzy’s band, there’s a reason there’s still a Bon Jovi without the lead guitarist. It’s Jon’s band. That doesn’t diminish Sambora’s talent or contributions to the band, but it’s Jon’s band. You know this…right?

Richie Sambora looks like he's always making love to his guitar 😊

[@sarahharvey1725]

Richie Sambora is the guitarist and some argue, me included, that he's just as good a singer as Jon. So much soul. Richie actually took the lead vocals for this song at a lot of the live shows. There are dozens of videos of him performing it.

[@G-grandma_Army]

Like him, but no.

[@dccraig03]

His solo album "Stranger In This Town" is excellent as well.

[@yaimavol]

JBJ's voice is shot at this point. He's lost the bass in his voice, but people still go for the nostalgia.

[@katyevogt8605]

Agreed! Richie had an amazing voice. His blues influence really comes out in his solo work. You should give him a listen! 😁

[@tcconnection]

Oh yeah, like his voice better than Jon's.

[@jp3813]

Almost 7 months since your last Bon Jovi reaction. Gotta get into more of their hits. Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora are both in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, along w/ their frequent collaborator Desmond Child. BTW, if you're gonna react to "Wanted Dead or Alive", be sure to choose the longer album version rather than the shorter music video version. Or if you wanna see Jon & Richie, choose their legendary 1989 MTV Video Music Awards performance of the song.

[@jcdvt1]

I wish Ritchie was still in the band. He and Jon’s voices blend so well together. Happy I got to see them in concert when they were still together

[@melissas4874]

Same - they should react to some of Richie's music. He's great on his own.

[@deehayes8073]

If he would get sober he could rejoin band!

[@richchadwick0626]

Dee Hayes, stop the nonsense. By all accounts he has been sober. Look at the music since Richie left. It's awful. Look at the tours: why aren't they doing stadiums in the US? Why is this current tour only 15 shows? Here's the answer (and don't let the JBJ propaganda get in the way here): because they aren't selling anything out anymore. Go to Ticketmaster and you will see how many seats are still available. Bottom line: it isn't Bon Jovi without Richie.

[@jp3813]

@@richchadwick0626 The band's music has been declining for a long time even w/ Richie. Both him & Jon have had solo careers in their primes and it proved which one could still produce hits w/o the other. Amplified by the fact that all but four of Jon's songs as a solo artist were solely written (two albums), while all but three of Richie's songs were co-written (three albums). And let's not forget that Richie didn't co-write the hits Runaway, Living in Sin, Bed of Roses, I Believe, Dry County (great guitar solo though), Always, etc... Fans do miss Richie, but a more significant factor for the live shows is Jon's voice. Decades of being the main singer along w/ aging & smoking has been catching up to him since the late 90s when he had to change his singing style for his 2nd album, and no backup singer can make up for that.

[@gunnarbiker]

They are HORRIBLE without Ritchie. I've seen them many times over the years and I've only seen them once without Ritchie and it's BAD. Bad meaning Bad not Bad meaning Good! LOL

[@wonsworld61]

One of the few "Hair Bands" of the 80's that I had any time for. They really did know to write a good catchy hook to draw you in and Richie (lead guitarist and your "back up singer") and JBJ did have a good harmony together . Another good one from the Hair Band era that you might look at is Skid Row and their Hit "I'll Remember You".

Squad....I'm so happy for you to discover these gems. The Era of Bon Jovi was unparalleled. Jon along Richie Sambora was a duo when it came to power ballads that just not reachable by any other. The intimacy of empty stadiums you mentioned, the solos by Richie, and the power of Tico Torres on the drums.... they just knew how to reach right into your heart. You have no idea what it was like growing up listening to them.... and honestly so many others. But every girl wanted to be with Jon.

[@bigoz1977]

Richie is one of if not my favourite guitarist ever. It was a shame when he left Bon Jovi cause the band IMO have gone down hill since. Jon and Richie co-wrote pretty much all Bon Jovi hits for 30 years. Can I suggest you watch Dry county live in Wembley, to see the ability of the whole band live.

[@jp3813]

Most, not all. For instance, Dry County was solely written by JBJ. But Richie and the rest of the band made it even more epic. Other hits not co-written by Richie include Runaway, Living in Sin, Bed of Roses, I Believe, Always, etc... And of course, there's also their frequent collaborator Desmond Child.

The main vocalist made sure you wanna know the lyrics because his voice is good as hell❤ it made me think what y'all think about them. It's nice to know we're on the same boat ❤😊
