@@DonWaldone Yeah, I'm old, my brain don't work right anymore, the ramblings of a n old man, ignore me! It's all Westerns to me! My bad. When you think, Slippery when wet came out, I had it on constantly in my car, I still get it wrong.
Such a great song! The "steel horse" reference, although typically a reference to a motorcycle, is in this case referring to their tour bus and/or tour plane. The use of the "cowboy mentality" to describe being on the road. An outlaw touring around with a "loaded six string" on his back, talking about his guitar. The lyric line of "I've seen a million faces, and I rocked them all" is about the shows they played and people they entertained. So this entire song is about being alone on the road, during a LONG tour with no rest for the weary. Catchy tune all around.
Yes, which if they would've watched the video, they would've known, hahaha! The song alone is amazing, but the video really adds to showing how much a toll touring takes on the band.
Yes, I have seen many debates about this but idk ppl can argue what your saying. He is outlining the similarities of the cowboy life style and rock star life...from traveling all the time, when finally arriving at your location going crazy, partying, getting all the women, drinking all the liquor, etc...it's very well written.
This was used in the soundtrack for the movie Harley Davidson and the Marlborough man! Steel horse = motorcycle. Also if you love the sound look up John Cafferety and the Beaver Brown Band. Another Jersey band and the musicians actually playing and singing in the Eddie and the Cruisers movies. 2 of them. John's voice is iconic.
@@evanerys Thank you!!! I play guitar and used to play and sing in a band. I used to own a 12 string and just loved it. They have such a beautiful full sound.
@@stevebuckskinner5482 It is a very distinct sound, and I wouldn't want anyone wasting their time trying to emulate it with a 6 string. So I had to make sure someone had said it, even though I'm a lousy guitar player who can't speak on it with much expertise. But I do know that much.
@@Chualland The intricate bits in many famous classic rock songs are 12 strings, including this one, Hotel California (Eagles) & The Song Remains the Same (Led Zeppelin). It sounds to me more like a more easily strummed octave mandolin than a steel guitar.
This is definitely the original. The steel horse is the tour bus and life on the road of touring. I remember going to the store to purchase this CD when it first came out. I still have it. Bon Jovi is a great group.
oOoooH....i HaD tHe Cd....so fancy. i bought the tape with my own money in grade 5 and my sister's boombox immediately ate it. i was pretty skilled with the pencil so i fixed it. I think i still have the tape somewhere
Wife here..Loved Loved This song as a teenager..There's no explaining how big Bon Jovi was in the eighties..Radio.., Constant rotation on MTV..,(Steel horse is the tour bus)..one of the biggest lines in rock history..(I've seen a million faces and ROCKED them all)..The musicality of this song is off the chain..Thanks Again!
"Six string on my back" refers to the guitar; "steel horse" is the tour bus. This song uses Old West cowboy imagery to describe the lonely life of a rock star. At the time, starting with their debut album in 1984, Bon Jovi played about 300 shows a year, using the remaining time to work on albums. When it came time to write for their third album, Slippery When Wet, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora wrote this song about what they knew: performing to lots of people who all blended together after a while.
Before streaming, people would ask if you could only listen to ten albums, what would they be? This album (Slippery When Wet) is still on my list. So many memories of being a teenager.
Streaming,,is awesome. People my age,, have a reason to watch streaming like its our last chance. Its because,, albums used to cost 2 hours pay,and they wore out. 8 tracks were 15-20 bucks,and they wore out QUICK. Television was super thin,and inconsistent,, if you saw something , you likely wouldn't see it twice. Everyone talked about the Beatles,,but we really didn't see them, for 30 years, till streaming came around. Now you can watch or hear anything you want. As long as you can remember it.
Same here. Hanging out in Asbury Park in the late seventies into the early eighties, Bon Jovi played there alot. Never saw him, I mostly hung out at the Stone Pony with a slightly older crowd than his.
My father played 12 string acoustic. He showed me the distinctive opening a few times, trying to get me interested in learning how to play. I didn't take the bait, and I kind of regret that all these decades later.
This is the song that they wanted for the Young Guns movie - but when they went to Bon Jovi and asked he said no, I'll just write something for you - which wound up Blaze of Glory (which has very similar vibes, but no steel horses, more themed towards the old west)
@@3DJapan it does - that’s exactly why he said no to Dead or Alive in a western movie, doesn’t fit the narrative at all, even if the sound of the song would fit.
I practically grew up listening to Bon jovi songs even tho I’m not an 80’s kid. While I didn’t listen to this song as much as the others, I loved this song with it’s Wild West sounding instrumentals.
I remember buying this on L.P. Shows how old I am. I always used to say to everyone back in the day that this song would still be known, played and enjoyed in 50 yrs time. Not long to go now. Great reaction from both of you.
I have seen Bon Jovi so many times over the years. Before Jon had kids, he was asked when he had a family, what would he want his kids to know about him and his legacy. He said he would have them listen to this song. It told of him, his life and a song he was most proud of at the time. Steel horse is the tour bus. The song is about being away touring when they went straight for a few years, and the got burned out and missed their families.
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and still play this song all the time just cause it's really fun to play; and yes the intro riff is played on acoustic.
When I was young I worked at a hospital with many women. They still got all worked up when Bon Jovi came to town for a concert in 2001; I was quite an observant young lad.
@@philiphudgens4726 lol. Yeah this is exactly why as a teen I couldn't be jealous of the Sebastian Bach poster on my girlfriend's wall. Even though it had 💋 all over it
I saw Bon Jovi open for 38 Special from the 3rd row at Market Square Arena in Indy right after this record had been released. About 3 months later, they were the biggest band on the planet. Slippery When Wet literally exploded out of the gates.
I had a tape in high school with a couple of different Bon Jovi / Ritchie versions of Wanted Dead or Alive on it - including a cool acoustic only version. Amazing song. Learning the cool acoustic descending line was a right of passage for us. You can do it!
Hell yeah the steel horse is that sweet powerful American Beast Harley-Davidson well that's what it means to me. But Bon Jovi is talking about the tour bus. Another great Bon Jovi song you should check out is Blaze of Glory. It's a little underrated I'm thinking it's do to it a soundtrack to the movie Young Guns 2 but it definitely got some great lyrics.
Some people like to hate on Bon Jovi which I don’t really understand but this has always been my favorite song of theirs. Very memorable from the show Deadliest Catch. Always knew my dad was watching it when this song started playing haha
I think it's because the man himself is an insufferable prick! And then he fired Sambora just so he could have a bigger cut of the profits and proved once and for all he is a jerk. Also have you heard his new stuff? Omg he sounds HORRIBLE.... IDK what the hell happened but it's bad
@@LN-Lifer Hey I honestly don’t keep up with Bon Jovi at all, just personally liked some of their hits. Don’t know anything about the guy. Haven’t heard their new stuff.
@@Amanda-md2yy That's cool. I've always been a fan of the music. My older sister and all her HS friends used to blast this album on the school bus when I was in elementary. The entire bus sang along!
Because they used to be glam in the 80s. But when they switched the whole thing in the 90s, nobody paying attention because those are the best era of them. Keep The Faith and These Days are legendary.
I love that you both just want to say, “That was such a good song” Started with a 12 string acoustic accompanied by a 6 string acoustic before the electric cones in later.
The 'steel horse' refers to the jet planes they fly in to get to the next city for their next concert. The done itself is about life on the road when the group is on tour.
Because Bon Jovi always had that image of making music for the ladies, a bit ... corny. I think most guitarist are aware of Sambora though. I was so into them when i was younger, Keep the Faith, song and album, were main reasons for me to start playing guitar. Though this here eventually became my favorite song. There are some live versions that i prefer over the studio version.
Yeah overall not a complicated solo but what he makes out of it with the pitch harmonics and FEEL, is something else. Easy too 10 solo for me and I’m not even a huge Bon Jovi fan.
Slippery When Wet was an EPIC album. There wasn’t a weak song on the album! I had it on cassette then also New Jersey. Bon Jovi is in my opinion an under appreciated band
I remember it being a big hit in high school . I forgot all about it and how good of a song it was until 2005 when it was used at the beginning of Deadliest Catch . It was the perfect song for that show.
Ritchie made you feel that western vibe hard with this one. Everytime I listen to this one and Blaze of glory I think about the movie Young Guns with Billy the kid. Badass cowboy.... However, it can be referred to badass bikers too. Now you have to do Runaway.... Their earliest of hits and vintage Bonjovii. 😌🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
From the movies “ YOUNG GUNS” and “ young guns 2” If you like westerns, watch them. I watch them both a lot. LOL may sound corny but I love the movies!
The guitar parts are played on a 12 string Acoustic Rickenbacker guitar. Even though the “steel horse” being the tour bus is a romantic idea, the “Steel Horse” IS a motorcycle.
Wow, I specifically did a search for your channel & this song title, and it says it was uploaded TODAY! What are the odds? I just finished watching your reaction to "You Give Love A Bad Name." 🙂
Yep this is the original. It’s on their Slippery When Wet album released in 1986. This song was a MONSTER hit that year.
Was it? I thought it was later, the closing credits to one of the Young Guns movies.

no way. I always thought of a motorcycle.
The Steelhorse was the steam engine back in the day.
This is the original. A massive hit from the 80's. 🖤
Agreed. And it is definitely much easier to appreciate and understand if the listener sees the official video.
“ i’ve seen 1 million faces and I’ve rocked them all”. Has to be one of the best “rock” Lines ever
I like "a loaded 6 string on my back"
Really. One of the best ever
Really......yeah if your are a 13 ur old girl
@Mike Griffin don’t cry. It will be all right
@@williammoore841 can't stop crying do you? Spread hate everywhere. Lol pathetic asf.
they lyrics here actually have that line wrong ...lol
This song is about being a rockstar on the road and playing in different cities.
Yep had nothing to do with Young Guns
Absolutely. Hence the Steel Horse (private jet, tour bus, limos etc).
This was used in the soundtrack for the movie Harley Davidson and the Marlborough man! Steel horse = motorcycle. Also if you love the sound look up John Cafferety and the Beaver Brown Band. Another Jersey band and the musicians actually playing and singing in the Eddie and the Cruisers movies. 2 of them. John's voice is iconic.
It seemed like an update to Bob Segar's "Turn the Page" coming out about 15 years later.
What gives it the unique sound is that it's an acoustic 12 string guitar.
An important note for those who might want to learn to play it; I came to the comments just to say that.

Yes, Richie's backing vocals is what turns this from a good song into a great song.
@@bramford7e Absolutely. That acoustic unplugged version they did was one unbelievable performance.
I would go as far as saying that he's actually the better singer after checking his solo stuff.
Arguably a stronger vocalist than Jon!
The live acoustic version with only Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora is magical.
This is definitely the original. The steel horse is the tour bus and life on the road of touring. I remember going to the store to purchase this CD when it first came out. I still have it. Bon Jovi is a great group.

theme tune from the movie Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Great song and movie.

In concert, when they would sing the line “I’ve seen a million faces” the spotlights would hit the crowd and it would drive the fans nuts.
I love that you both just want to say, “That was such a good song”
Started with a 12 string acoustic accompanied by a 6 string acoustic before the electric cones in later.
So many memories growing up waiting for this video to play on MTV.
Richie Sambora's playing... so underrated!
Man, the lyric video you guys chose did not do this song justice. 😂
Lmao yeah whoever did this video missed a lot of words and seemed to make up whatever they wanted too….
They F'd up the most important line "And I've ROCKED them all" Ouch!
If the guitar goes "WWRAAANGG" - it's electric, but if it goes "Tee-Tee-Tee-Teee" it's acoustic.
Wait til they hear a steel-bodied National acoustic. Played with a slide.
You’ve never heard Pete Townsend play acoustic.
The smile on brads face says it all
Outstanding work by the entire band. Richie's guitar and vocals make this performance absolutely epic.
The 'steel horse' refers to the jet planes they fly in to get to the next city for their next concert. The done itself is about life on the road when the group is on tour.

that's definitly a live show you two would have loved, they were great on stage
The Bongiovi family lived a few blocks from us when I was a kid - my brother and sister were friends with Jon's sister Donna. :-)

always nice to see serious Brad light up
"One i played on Rockband as a kid"
FML, i am officially acknowledging i am old, lmao. I just began high school when this song came out.
The steel horse is the tour bus, the sometimes lonely life on the road is the theme of this song.
I got to see them with Skid Row in 1988 on the Slippery When Wet Tour. Great show!
My favorite album and probably my favorite Bon Jovi song. So good. Good ol' cowboy rock times.
First album I got, begged my mom for it. MTv was playing this so much. Must of been 5th grade. I listened to this so much lol
Think I blew a few speakers cranking this song as loud as it would go. Solid rock classic.
The video for this song brings the song into its true perspective.
One of the best songs about being on the road as a band.
Bon Jovi = Genuine Energy
I love this!
I saw them in concert we thought it was going to be corny but it turned out to be the greatest concert I've ever seen.
This song ROCKED when they used it in Miami Vice.
A band from new jersey on the east coast singing about being a cowboy on the road became almost a national anthem
One of my all time favorite songs of theirs.
From the movies “ YOUNG GUNS” and “ young guns 2” If you like westerns, watch them. I watch them both a lot. LOL may sound corny but I love the movies!
The story is that they wanted to use this song for Young Guns 2, but Jon Bon Jovi didn't think the lyrics fit, so he wrote Blaze of Glory for them.

I believe this was on Rock Band. This is an original. Bon Jovi put out sooooo many great songs!!
Man this song was such a great choice as the theme song for Deadliest Catch commercials.
My personal favorite Bon Jovi song.
Cinderella has a song on the Heartbreak Station album called Dead Man's Road that is a western-sounding masterpiece.
That intro guitar is a 12 string electric, it is perfect to set the time of the song!
It was the opening song on Discovery Channel’s “ The Deadliest Catch” now and for years in the past.
Was a senior in HS, heard this one a billion times
