WOW!| FIRST TIME HEARING Bon Jovi - Bed OF Roses REACTION

[@Americaisback25]

You just reacted to my wife's song. She passed away 2 years ago TODAY and I play this song EVERY SINGLE DAY. 😪I cannot believe you chose this song today. Thank you.

[@joyhruska9377]

My heart goes out to you. My husband passed in 06. We loved Bon Jovi. Thoughts, prayers and hugs!❤

[@bkm2797]

So sorry Bruce, I can't imagine losing my soulmate, I really hope you know that she is still with you, and you will be with her again. For now, remember all that you love about her, don't forget to look for signs.🕊❤️🎈

[@KalElCanFly]

My condolences for your loss. This is a beautiful song and Bon Jovi is my favorite band.

[@Americaisback25]

Thank you @@joyhruska9377

[@joyhruska9377]

@bkm2797 absolutely look for signs! That's great advice. I see them all the time.

[@robertg7396]

This has always been my favorite Bon Jovi song. Often, people get this song confused and think he's talking about being with another woman because he mentions his "mistress" and how tonight "he won't be alone." It's actually referring to his career being his mistress and how it takes him away from the woman he loves and wants to be with. When he says he won't be alone, that's the reference to the audience. Such a beautiful song, and you're right, his vocals are incredible on this track! 🥰⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️

[@generalsaufenberg4931]

not to forget, the blonde is his guitar^^

[@TucBroder]

The blonde is his guitar, the mistress is the fans or the stage

[@megaroli]

The MTV Unplugged version of this song is very good too. You mentioned the song Blaze Of Glory from the movie Young Guns which I think you should definitely check out in your movie channel. Hope you enjoy It If you do.

[@hibhibb5429]

I agree. Bon Jovi "Living in Sin" is one to react to!!! Bon Jovi puts on an Incredible show and nothing compares to Richie Sambora on the guitar. He's a master! Jon and Richie's vocals together are magical. They need to reunite!! These guys are Amazing!

[@CoasterTrax]

Na but as far as i know: the morning after he cheated, sitting at the piano in his hotel room, he started writing this song as apology to his wife. I can be wrong, but thats what i know from this song

[@amykienitz6311]

I believe he wrote this song for his wife Dorthia who he’s still married too. When he quit touring he started a foundation to help those in need. He owns a restaurant in New York and anyone is allowed to come in, if you can’t pay your bill you can wash dishes, sweep floors etc. and dinner is on him. He also spends time there prepping for meals, cleaning toilets, bussing tables. Just a great guy

[@bkm2797]

Thought it was in New Jersey, his and Dorothea's restaurant, wherever it is, they are an amazing couple.

[@shaun374]

Always found it a funny love ballad as it's basically "I'm sleeping with a bunch of groupies but I miss you." It's simultaneous cringe and so endearing because of its realism to what many musicians are probably going through.

[@jessicacox9261]

I don't think that's what the is saying at all. His mistress is the stage & touring.

[@PJMurphyNJ]

I believe it's in Red Bank New Jersey.

[@amykienitz6311]

@@jessicacox9261 That’s what I think also having watched a lot of his and Dorthea’s interviews that was my take also, because both are admit that they have been faithful their entire marriage.

[@caramelushca]

What I wouldn't give to have seen them live in their full glory! 💔

[@kristiefreeman5177]

A song that Jon wrote for his wife. He sleeps on a bed of nails because it is like torture being away from her. Some people think he is referring to cheating, but the blond giving him nightmares is his guitar and his "mistress" is the stage. Richie's vocals and guitar with Jon's vocals were always magical! If you want to see an absolutely awesome live performance, I suggest Dry County from Live at Wembley 1995! Jon's powerful and emotional vocals with Richie's guitar...amazing! The whole band kills it!

[@michaelparsons5299]

Well said Kristie. Right on the money. I heard Jon talk about this after the "Keep the Faith" album was released way back when? 1993, I think! Gee, I feel old! 😁

[@duliahall2009]

I've seen them in concert...amazing!!!

[@shahrg]

Dry County please

[@conan5885]

The blonde was actually Diane Lane who had been seeing, he and Dorothea was broke up at the time, not married yet. while dating Diane he realized he loved only Dorothea, and broke up with Diane.

[@darrenbrann4935]

People sleep on Richie's vocals because he's so amazing on the guitar. Jon and Richie sound so well together!

Jon and his high school sweetheart Dorothea have been together for decades now, they are an amazing couple who do a lot of philanthropy and are just good decent people. Thanks Jay and Amber.

[@skerr808]

Richie's guitar work in this song definitely shined! And, of course, Jon belting those powerful lyrics was amazing as well. I can't wait to see your reaction to "Wanted Dead or Alive." If you liked "Blaze of Glory" then you'll love that one!

[@satoricrush]

Love that line " As I dream of movies they won't make of me when I'm dead" And that power note makes your hair stand up on your arm.

[@KevinHirst664]

Richie is underrated. His fills and solos hit different. He’s got soul.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Gosh…. They were so young there. Grew up a few towns over from him. Talking about the vocals…. Understand that Jon always sings with Ritchie (lead guitar). Watch the video again, Ritchie is always there. As Jon’s grown older and Ritchie is no longer touring, the live performances have suffered. But gosh, back in the day…. Jon’s live performance was stellar. And yes, their concerts were the best music .. ever! BTW…. He’s singing to Dorothea, his wife.

[@MsJimmysgirl]

This is one of my all time favorite Bon Jovi songs. I truly miss music like this because today's music is over produced ruining the complexity and passion in the human voice.

[@timoteo950]

Very true. Well put.

[@crestm1384]

Bon Jovi music always makes you want to blast the radio and sing at the top of your lungs because his voice is that moving.

[@samhugh4965]

You’ve stated it better than I’ve ever been able to.

[@anxofernandez3344]

The best rock ballad ever.

[@mattrihs1332]

Their concerts were legit. Saw them in 2005. They brought the energy. After doing some songs off their Have a Nice Day album, they did a "time warp" back to 1984, with their first hit, Runaway, and introduced the pyros to give it an 80's feel. Four hour concert. Best concert I have been to.

[@sunnystormy4973]

amazing !

Same when I saw them in '95 - epic concert!

"Well I´m so far away each step that I take´s on my way home" just shows the poetic quality of their song writing. Their concerts are something out of this world. You don´t get to experience that so much anymore unfortunately. But to watch Bon Jovi live in their prime was undescribable.

Bon Jovi entered the music world as a hair band and was not given the respect he deserved. As time went by, he opened up many eyes and ears and he started to get the respect, as an artist, that he deserved.

[@gitaryddcymraeg8816]

I remember Bon Jovi performing this song live in the middle of the street on a band stand in Cardiff in 1995 (they performed for free). I threw my guitar pick onto the stage and Richie Sambora used it, then threw it back into the crowd. I never saw that guitar pick ever again.

[@CARNIKELLI]

I was 22 when this came out and I was in Love with Jon. I was a teenager when they first burst on the scene and as a 54 year old I am still obsessed

[@jadakid6942]

NO ONE does a power ballad like Bon Jovi. Journey is close for sure, GnR and Def Leppard have some great ones. But Bon Jovi just makes it feel epic. “She Don’t Know Me”, “Silent Night”, “Never Say Goodbye”, “Without Love”, “I’ll Be There For You”, “Living In Sin”, “In These Arms”, “Always”, “This Ain’t A Love Song” - all great.

Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora harmonizing together is one of the great vocal duos in rock music history.

[@jamesmorrison7692]

This is one of the best power ballads ever written, and a huge hit for the band. Jon was at his peak of writing here, and when he wrote this song, he hit an absolute home run. This song is so special to so many people, as the words are so powerful and meaningful, and people interpret it to fit their own lives. It is a timeless song, and just as impactful now as it was when it was released. Jon Bon Jovi will go down as not only a great singer and entertainer, but his song writing is brilliant, and to me, this is his best work. Great reaction to an absolutely beautiful song

[@traceyaydon814]

I am in New Zealand and have seen them three times. The These Days Tour, Bounce Tour and Lost Highway tour. Our venues are not as large as overseas, so we don't have the fireworks, etc, but they don't need that. Their stage presence and playing/singing abilities are more than enough.

[@TheNotedHero]

Bon Jovi, *the* band of my final high school days. Man, we played their stuff so much, and so loud, while singing at the top of our lungs. Good times and busted vocal cords. 😅 And yes, their concerts were like that! At least the one time I saw them live in '95 it was! Absolutely epic concert!

Unfortunately, many fans have sort of turned on Jon after many years of his singing voice deteriorating. To the point that many claim that his former lead guitarist Richie Sambora (seen in this video) has always been the better singer. Both were equally great in their primes, but it's no coincidence that the backup singer has been able to maintain his voice better throughout their careers. Songs like this are reminders that Jon was a deserving lead vocalist of the band.

[@KDunn-pt9yj]

Great song! Jon is an awesome vocalist but this might be one of his best efforts. Also…what a great guitarist & backup singer Richie Sambora is. Love them all!

This is probably my favorite rock ballad. I feel that a lot of male singers, when singing about love, say what a woman wants to hear, while this song says what the man actually feels. I am wording it poorly, but basically like the most masculine love song I have heard.
