WHO ARE THEY?! FIRST TIME HEARING! Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@victoriawoods3898]

The Lead Singer is THEE Jon Bon Jovi. The band is named after him and he and they are LEGENDS. Livin On A Prayer is a Classic, And a Masterpiece. It's just a great, great song.

[@rosamorales5282]

They're rehearsing their lifts for that nights concert. It was awesome. The lead singer is named Jon Bon Jovi. It's his band. They're still performing after 40 years. Classic.

[@wendydouglas425]

I saw them in Houston a couple of years ago (before the pandemic, obviously) and the were still great. No Richie, but I was always a Jon girl, anyway.

[@katehaynes5735]

I saw them on the New Jersey tour, my dad had to drive me because I wasn't old enough to drive!

[@kathrynkissane5144]

Your happy smile😀 Iconic song. Jon Bon Jovi is amazing.

[@marissa0894]

This band is a CLASSIC! Grew up listening to them on Sunny at night and early morning. You should also check out, “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.” If you don’t mind a slight country twist, he did a collab with Jennifer Nettles, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.”

[@tinamarie6871]

Yes! Listen to Dead or Alive..

[@josephthedreamer1508]

It's my life and bad medicine too!

[@terriweatherford6430]

Great songs!!!

[@isof1341]

Jon Bonjovi (lead singer) still makes special appearances. Many of these rockers are married to famous models, celebrities. Don't know how old you are dude but we'd see (hard)rock bands nearly every month especially in the 80's, 90's (tickets $15, $20, standing). "Queen" changed my life when I was 12 yrs old. Wish I can transported you back. Keep on enjoying the music!

[@tanswanfooken2505]

Bon Jovi is my all time favorite band,I from Singapore!

[@sandylmastin5268]

Love your reaction to the awesome Bon Jovi. Been to see them starting in the 80s. Their concerts rock!

[@AcdallasAndy]

They have sold hundreds of million records and are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jon Bon Jovi is a stand up guy and gives a lot to charity.

[@JonandZingo]

I remember when this song came out. Everyone knew it was an instant hit. I love songs that build and you can feel from the beginning intro the excitement building. The chorus hits you hard and makes you scream the lyrics! The song continues and right when you think the building of the song can not get any bigger there is a key change for the final chorus that blows your mind! We played this song in pep band and for first trumpet they were the highest notes I have ever tried to hit!

[@dianecomly6132]

No autotune back then and they had to play live instruments in concert. We had so many truly talented musicians - didn't realize how good we had it!

[@marilyngordy3670]

One thing about older music is that these musicians are giving the fans a piece of themselves with each song. Not any electronic help. Just giving themselves.

[@quinny6920]

Wooo my jersey boy Jon BonJovi. Great great band. Go down the rabbit hole with them!!!

[@cattewest]

At 74, I have spent a lot of time living on a prayer. These guys speak to and for the common people on a grand scale. Never too much Bon Jovi.

[@57essex60]

The build up was getting the set ready for the fans at the concert, Jon Bon Jovi is such a friendly and caring man, really love this song.

[@grobinson7507]

Jon Bon Jovi is the lead singer. They have been together since 1981, there first break came in 1984 with the song Runaway. Listen to Dead or Alive Bad Medicine You give Love a bad name Lay your hands on me He is married to his high school sweetheart since 1989, they have 4 children. He also has restaurants called Soul Kitchen, they are located in NJ, Philli and New York. He feeds people who are hungry for free, all they have to do is wash some dishes. Him and his Doretha started it in 2011. Just a very caring and humble man.

[@EugeneBristol-fu8iy]

Glad you like our music and getting to know what music we listening too

[@sharonpate5481]

Nothing better than classic rock and roll 🎸 music, although I like old country music too!

[@idalucero1260]

It was Jon Bon Jovi who gave Steve Perry the moniker "The Voice". He recognized greatness! I saw Bon Jovi in concert and the were awesome! Listen to "I'll Be There for You". I hope you keep reacting to Journey though.

[@TheDivayenta]

That’s Jon Bongiovi ( Bonjovi) singing lead! His lead guitarist is singing on that talk machine thingy.

[@bethcummings8214]

Early bon Jovi had the 80's hair and a lot of energy in concert. YES, it's a concert.

[@mikeesain234]

VH1 voted this song the #1 song of the 80’s. “Wanted dead or alive” is a banger by them. ✌️😎🎵

[@heathertownsend949]

He was the ban back in my day!!!!!!! Still sounds great and looks goo and does TONS OF CHARITY WORK FOR INNER CITIES!!!!!! Bon Jovi is the singer......he’s the lead.... he’s singing. Oh my era was the best music. He and his wife did soooooo much feeding homeless and kids and poverty areas. Look it up. He has used his $$$$$ for what matters and yep this is at a concert

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Bon Jovi was MASSIVE! They had a bunch of hits! "You Give Love A Bad Name was a classic, please do!

[@lorig.6207]

I love seeing your beautiful smile during these videos.

[@evilervcowart6234]

The synthesized sounding "woah, woah, woah" chant is achieved using a contraption called a talk box. The module has a hollow tube connected to it from one end, the other end being held in place on a mic stand. The guitarist, in this case Richie Sambora, holds that end of the tube in his mouth and vocalizes through it. The guitar is ran through the unit , also. The talk box allows you to modify the sound signals coming from the guitar and effect its' frequency using your voice. The talk box was invented in 1969 by an electrical engineer named Bill West. The talk box is what gives the hook in Dr. Dre's iconic song 'California Love' its' trademark sound. Bill West and his creation even appear in the song's official video 🤘

[@sarablack2547]

Thank you for the full info I have been a fan since this song and knew about the talk box but not the full history.

[@sharonpate5481]

Peter Frampton made the talk box famous. ☮️🌼♥️

[@sandywaters4940]

I grew up w/them & I never noticed that thing until about a year ago. And when I finally noticed it I always wondered what it did. So thank you for the answer b4 I even asked the question. You must have been reading my mind. LOL!! And I love the song "It's My Life" & in the video they are performing in a road tunnel. That song always gets me going.

[@LadyDoe17]

Jon Bon jovi! Lead singer!. Love this song and this video! I knew you’d love it too.

[@marykelly8362]

Jon Bonjovi is classic still married to his high school sweetheart. Still volunteering in his New Jersey neighborhood. Has soup kitchens to feed the needy. Wrote a lot if not all of their own songs. He is the lead singer and his name is the name of the band.

[@LaCineSeriephile]

JON BON JOVI VOICE IS GOLD !!! Nothing more iconic than Livin On A Prayer !! 🤘🤘 Man you have so many more songs to listen, they made 15 album from 84 to now and they still performed and Jon still wrote incredible songs after 40 years he's the best !!! Jon also made 2 solo albums that are incredible. Check out all of their songs you're not going to be desapointed, Never !!!

[@LiLiJo]

What I loved about this concert was Jon taking the risk of putting himself into a harness and swinging out over the crowd. I remember being at one of these concerts and thinking that if you weren’t lucky enough to be close to the stage he came to you for just a little bit.

[@toddedwards5144]

I cannot express how HUGE this album was in the day. I literally didn’t know anyone who didn’t own the Slippery When Wet album. It was MASSIVE.

[@stephmh6306]

I still smile like that when I hear Bon Jovi!! Listen to Born to be my baby by them.

[@lianabaddley8217]

Yes! No one reacts to that song. And it is a Damn shame!! All his songs are Great though!!

[@debra7105]

You should give the group Journey a try. Mother, Father live in Houston 1981. Bon Jovi calls the lead singer Steve Perry "The Voice" . One of the best voices ever. And it's live!

[@marybethmcknightpotts6049]

They didn't just sing,......they truly entertained It was an entire interactive show!

[@ursulajh]

This was THE biggest song in 1987 (I’m dating myself, I was 9 years old). On the radio all the time and my older sis would run to turn it up as loud as it would go. You give love a bad name was another huge hit from the same album. Love your reactions!! I don’t know if you’ve reacted to Aerosmith (my favorite band) but my favorite song of all time is Dream On. Incredible vocals, incredible message

[@irilumi]

you are listening to the Legends of music - all the names you called out - these people and bands is what the music industry was built on.

[@michelleroller8910]

It makes me happy to see this generation enjoying the music I grew up on!

[@kimmystewart6959]

This amazes me everytime I see you smile and hear the stuff for the very first time it makes my heart really huge because I saw them in concert

[@vkinney2000]

The guy singing is Jon Bon Jovi and you have to hear more of their music. It was fantastic to sing along with these songs & dance to them.

[@onthefencee]

Bon Jovi was my first band I fell in love with when I was like 10....

[@JuanMorales-en5zy]

The 80s!!! If I Had A Time Machine That's Exactly Where I Would Go, Keep Up The Reactions Brother

[@kimdinius4181]

Jon Bon Jovi is singing. You found a good band to explore. I've seen them live several times, they're always a bunch of fun. You're reactions are always fun, thanks for making me smile 😁❤️

[@malindaegdorf8861]

Band is named after the lead singer Jon Bon Jovi. Awesome music! So many great hits! Check out Wanted Dead or Alive, You Give Love a Bad Name, Bed of Roses, Always, Bad Medicine, Blaze of Glory!

[@DWilsonLPN]

That is Jon Bon Jovi! He is completely awesome, even today!

[@yolandacg6740]

Amazing rock band! I grew up with all their songs, especially this one. They turned their songs into classics for all generations in the United States and Europe. I remember when my friends and I went out on Saturdays, we always listened to "Livin' On A Prayer" and we moved our manes like them on the video, fabulous memories! Thanks for react to them

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

Oh, how I miss the 80's! They were all so handsome, my 13 year old self was in love.

[@carolinagirl7596]

I grew up in the era of hair bands and still love them today like I did back then. I love that you’re reacting to Bon Jovi.

[@Kim-hc5si]

Yep - you’re gonna love Bon Jovi. Follow the comments - you won’t be sorry! 🔥🔥🔥

[@BoudicaAngel7359]

I was at their opening night's concert, in , Jersey, for the Slippery When Wet album tour. Great night and yes Jon flew in the air on wires and came from the ceiling on a trapeze! Great album and night!

[@jillhornby5604]

My favorite group of all time, you should check out all their stuff. AMAZING

[@mrichards2211]

Yes! Try “Bad Medicine”, “Lay Your Hands on Me”, “Living in Sin”, “You Give Love A Bad Name”, “It’s my Life”-- I have many more but don’t want to put a thousand up lol❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

[@melissakardos3715]

I had my son in 1989. I was 16. This is our song. Lol. We both made it !

[@elizabethgari4909]

The lead singer is Jon Bongiovi. He named the band with the phonetic spelling of his name...Bonjovi. Fun fact...his father was a hair dresser and cut and styled his hair. When his brother was in high school he used to sell locks of John's hair to the girls at school

[@margaretstutts4362]

I love seeing the young experience my music. The 70-80s had great music. Wanted Dead or Alive was written for the movie Young Guns. Jon and Richie Sambora wrote the songs. Jon Bon Jovi is the lead.

[@catandcaboodle6492]

You gotta check out "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi. The big hair is gone but the sound sure isn't. It's My Life is a power house of a song, just like this one!

[@katiem9644]

It is so awesome to see your generation loving our wonderful music from the 80s and 90's. Just warms my heart to see you rockin to it!

[@thewhippersnappershow]

Bon Jovi were never drinkers or drug users. These are sober artists 🙌 Key change to higher. Like who can sing that high??!

[@mariannegoldweber1577]

They had a comeback song with 'its my life'...youll love it.

[@markpriest5064]

My man, you are in for one hell of a ride discovering 80's music! You will not find a bad song. Everything suggested to you is gong to be fire! I wish to god I could here it all for the first time again! You young folks are lucky to discover the greatest decade of music.

[@HauntingPepper]

I am a total bon jovi fan girl. You need to check out "blood on blood" ...one of their most underrated songs

[@warrenburlingame1172]

Never say goodbye is another great song by Bon Jovi

[@tiacalhoun3841]

That’s Jon Bon Jovi singing and 80’s hair bands are the best, u can’t go wrong with any of em…..u should definitely do Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard

[@patriciacleary9146]

Love some Bon Jovi! 💝💖❤️ Please do Wanted: dead or alive. You give love a bad name too... excellent! 🎶💯💕 Jon is married to his high school sweetheart. That's Jon singing.

[@Keithsangel]

First concert I ever went to was Bon Jovi & Skid Row. I was 13 & it was the best concert!

[@lynnoserb6398]

Those were the good concerts back then

[@emiliasilva1836]

BonJovi is best song

[@irenea.4944]

Find their concert in Zurich. Bon Jovi believe it or not they were never asked to play the Super Bowl. Stadium stoppers in the 80s. Richie Sambora on lead guitar

[@christiekraczek6522]

You really should check out Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora on tje VMAs. Just them 2 and the guitars. It is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

[@thewhippersnappershow]

My son with Down Syndrome- Livin on a Prayer-is his favorite song 🎵

[@juliehouse7327]

jon is still singing...this band has always been amazing..x

[@susane4576]

My favorite band! I've seen them 10 times in concert! Wanted Dead or Alive!!

[@maxmess1235]

Awww this takes me back!

[@lauradawson7964]

I saw Bon Jovi perform a show in Manchester, UK during the early 2000s. I was at university in nearby Lancaster and my housemates and I all loved his songs so we arranged a house trip to see them. I think they had a new album out but they were kind enough to sing all the golden oldies - the whole crowd knew all the words and sang along and it was fantastic fun! My first live music show and it was awesome!

[@debsday5445]

Classic. Love Love Love 💘 it. Still going strong 💪 We had it so good back then 🤩

[@mikewarker4445]

It’s my life is a must listen

[@petemayhew8420]

Once again you kill it. All the way to the freaking end!!!

[@marilyngordy3670]

Real music is meant to hit your soul on a cellular level.

[@rhondaholtfrazer7800]

Jon Bon Jovi had a girlfriend thru highschool and after graduation. When they begin touring she broke up with him. She didn't want to get hurt. After 5 years on the road touring non stop they finally had a break. He went home and married her..Dorathea. They're still married to this day.

[@bpankey1976]

The 1980's rocked!

[@karenpapadopoulos2443]

Bon Jovi and Cinderella was my first concert 🤘🎸🎶♥️!

[@carolynm3523]

The lead singer is Jon BonJovi

[@kellyfitzpatrick8857]

The big hair bands of the 80's were never my favorite but I really like Bon Jovi.

[@AnnieAnnieBuckwheatCakes]

Livin on a Prayer aka The Ballad of Tommy & Gina. The soundtrack of my youth. We took it for granted with the awesome music we had.

[@alicesmith7020]

If we had only known Anne

[@jim2571]

You should try Bon Jovi's "Have A Nice Day"! Its more recent and is a great example how their music has evolved.

[@crissylee6080]

Bonjovi are my all time favourite band. You should definitely do You Give Love a Bad Name next then Lay Your Hands on Me, Wanted Dead or Alive, Blaze of Glory, Keep the Faith, Bed of Roses, Something For the Pain (the most 90s video ever), It's My Life, Have a Nice Day, I could go on and on.........

[@jewls9697]

Jon Bon Jovi!! Him & his wife have been married 40 years. In that business, that's almost impossible! Jon & his wife also have 2 restaurants in New Jersey where you pay what you can or nothing if you can't!! What a testament to their great character!! You'll really love...Wanted Dead or Alive!!

[@sherrystanko2669]

Check out "Wanted Dead or Alive" and the "Hallelujah" video. Classic band!

[@AdamtheGrey02]

I'll add one more that's a Canadian band called Haywire from the 80s as well. Their song 'Dance Desire' has an excellent beat to it.

[@horrorchick793]

When my little one was a baby, I used to play this song at bathtime. Oh.....good memories

[@neolithiumproduction]

Seriously would recommend "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi. That song is the perfect hype song to get you ready to take on the world.

[@dana_brooke_27]

Being from NY.. I had great access to Bon Jovi. I saw them too many times to count. Met Jon on several occasions and the whole band once. Jon's mother is really a nice lady. They put on a great show!

[@pambaum5974]

Love me some Bon Jovi. They are still together today

[@lanamatlock2561]

I'm sure you can understand why my generation swears we have the Best music ever. You should check out RUNAWAY by Jon bon Jovi

[@MrFrankenass]

I was 20 years old and living in Japan when this album dropped, it was crazy, You need to listen to Its My Life which also references Tommy and Gina

[@LadyGator1983]

Welcome to the world of Bon Jovi!!!! The lead singer is Jon Bon Jovi! Another band from the 80s that you might want to check out is JOURNEY!!!!

[@deannawalker7022]

Classic good music. The 80's had great music, clothes and hair.. Jon Bon Jovi is the lead singer. This was done at an actual concert. A lot of rock bands during this time did concert music videos. Bon Jovi never had a bad song. They are still making music....

[@christiekraczek6522]

That's Jon Bon Jovi😍😍😍

[@Kazeemi2810]

The 80's had the best hair and the best jackets...and of course, the best music!! G'day from Australia!!

[@mariwulff9748]

MY FAVORITE BAND EVER 💜💜💜💜

[@lenarobinson]

I’ve seen them live several times here in London. One weekend I saw them on the Friday night and then the next night again on Saturday at The Royal Albert Hall. What a weekend. I’ve loved them since I was a teenager in the 80’s. I do love Jon Bon Jovi, but I love Ritchie Sambora’s voice even better. Loved your reaction. In my day, these were the coolest guys on the planet.

[@hopegilbert5778]

I have seen them 3 times live so good.
