Not really listen to the 2nd verse. It’s all about regret and break up. “When he holds you close, when he pulls you near, when he says the words you’ve been needing to hear, I wish I was there, cause those words are mine”
Listened to Jon Bon Jovi in a podcast talking about why Ritchie left the band. Sad to see him here. He was and still is an amazing and talented guitarist and musician.
Love the song but hated the video. It was to a movie that bombed. The 95 in London concert was way better. They extended the end which makes the song much better. Awesome. Much watch I think. The end too is fantastic. 🎉😊
They actually weren't kings of the power ballad. They are the only band of that era to chart multiple number 1 hits that were non ballads (bad name, prayer, bad medicine, born to be my baby) Only 1 ballad hit 1 (I'll be there for you)
@@BillGraper Jovi only band of that genre to survive and thrive after grunge. The innovators always survive when trends shift. The followers always die off when trends shift
Keri Russell looked very good as well, but yeah, perhaps the roles should've been the other way around. Then again, there would've been less scenes w/ Carla.
MTV was such a big deal during those times. Bon Jovi was huge as performers easily filling stadiums on tour. Although not their preference to lip synch for videos and videos often straying from the lyrics, there are some really good ones as well. "All About Loving You" is one of my favorites. "Blaze of Glory" was a solo Album by Jon used as soundtrack for the movie "Young Guns II". Would love to see you react to either or both of these.
I've ALWAYS found the difference between lyrics and video really jarring. The song, musicianship, voals, lyrics, are pretty epic. The video, in a very different way, is a 'classic' of the MTV era. But ... they just don't align, and I'm pleased you mention that each distract from the other. Not enough people do mention that, I feel. To continue your Bon Jovi journey: Wanted Dead or Alive, and Bed of Roses. Wanted is an absolute anthem, and if anything I'd say Bed of Roses is even more epic than this. Probs their biggest ballad.
Hey guys if you've never heard of them you guys should check out the rock band Halestorm, a great song of theirs to start with is "Love Bites (so do I)" their vocalist Lzzy Hale is hands down one of the most badass female leads of all time and as a musician I'd honestly put her up against any rock great
This is my favourite Bon Jovi song and one of my favourite ever songs. From the soaring vocals to the beautiful piano and amazing guitar solo it is truly fantastic. The video is really good but like you say it has nothing to do with the actual song and ends up becoming distracting. The 1995 live in London performance of this song is really great and the crowd takes your breath away. Another great ballad from them is Bed of Roses.
I think the music video portrays of a guy asking for second chance on his point of view. He was reminiscing the good and bad times. The adlib lyric mentioned: Where it ain't no luck, in this loaded dice but baby if you give it just one more try, we can pack up are old dreams and our old lives we'll find the place where the sun still shines.
I always got a chuckle out of imaginig what the painter dude thought when he came back to find the hot girl he picked up and painted had disappeared and his apartment was burning.
I have a DVD collection of Bon Jovi videos . What is cut from this on the MTV version is the fact he picked up a spray can of paint lit it on fire. That's what caused the explosion
Great song and definitely you should check the live version performed at Wembley Stadium during the These Days tour in 1995. The guitar solos give you goosebumps.
Guilty pleasure of mine. At the time you weren't supposed to still like bands like Bon Jovi. At least in my High School. But I've always loved this song.
If we are.going with 90s Bon Jovi. Try listening to Keep the Faith, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. Bed of Rose's or In These Arms. Much better then Always...lol
You need to check out Aldo Nova. He and Jon Bon Jovi were buds. Aldo has some killer songs and some of the best ballads. “Ball and Chain”, and “Someday” are a couple of favorites.
Great song, always makes me think of the tragedy of my ex. A couple other good Bon Jovi songs like this to check out from a later album You Want Make a Memory and Til We're Not Strangers Anymore
Nice reaction! Not many people react to Roulette from their second album and it's fantastic. Be different and give it a go. You won't regret it. Also, did you recognize the two actresses in the video, before they became famous?
I love the song. I hate the video. The song was written for the movie “Romeo is Bleeding”. Jon saw the screening for the movie and hated it, so he decided not to use it. He added the song to his greatest hits album and it was a hit.
The song is not a love song Jon Bon Jovi even explained it’s about a stalker who can’t let go of the girl that’s why in the vid he blows up the building killing her and that’s her ghost at the end
This is why there are very few music videos that I like. With a few exceptions, they tend to be distracting. In fact, many of them were made only to get air time for the song on MTV when MTV came along. There are a few artists that can really make their video's work with their tunes (Kate Bush, Billy Joel, etc), but mostly they end up being irrelevant.
Hey guys! Just wanted to ask if you're going to go with a 1 history episode per week? I do hope you can release them more frequently than that since there are so many Napoleon episodes :). Cheers!
I prefer Bon Jovi's rockier songs. But as far as ballads go they really know how to do one. In my opinion "Bed of Roses" is a more complete song than "Always", showing off more of Jon's vocal range.
Please check react to Bon Jovi's songs/videos "SOMEDAY I'LL BE SATURDAY NIGHT", "I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD", "LIVING IN SIN", "IF I WAS YOUR MOTHER". Love this song (Always) and the video had some famous actors in it Carla Gugino (the girlfriend), Jason Wiles (the artist), Jack Noseworthy (the cheating boyfriend), Keri Russell (the roommate).
This music video is so different from the song! I've never liked it despite loving the song. Oh man, I just thought of a hilarious music video for you guys to react to (provocative plus humour): Cheat Codes x Kris Kross Amsterdam and their song "SEX". It's based off of a song from the 90s by Salt-N-Pepa but the video is gold. Hmm, you might offend some people with stuck up attitudes though. Oh well, check it out on your own time then.
OUTLAWS - " Ghost Riders In The Sky " Southern Rock/Hard Rock 70s JAMMIN' Acoustic and Electric GUITARS. Vocal Version w/ Crazy Good! DRUMS & BASS. Highly recommend This Amazing Song 🎤 🎸🔥 it ROCKS from Start to finish
Love this song, but always hated the video. Yes, this was supposed to be on a movie soundtrack but Jon pulled it. However, the lyrics do kind of go with this. In the first verse, he says "it's been raining since you left me, now I'm drowning in the flood." Then in verse 2, when talking about the pictures she left behind, he says "one that made you have to say goodbye." Then "I wish I was him, that those words were mine." If you really want to see the absolute BEST version of the song, you should watch the one LIVE from Wembley, 1995! Amazing vocals!!
This is why I never recommend reaction videos on music videos as it usually has nothing to do with the song or it’s just to distracting from the song itself.
I don't think this is a love songs. Not the type to play at a wedding. It seems she left him and is with someone else. "It's been raining since you left me" "When he holds you close, when he pulls you near. When he says the words you've been needing to hear. I wish I was him With these words of mine"
I'm a New Jersey guy, so I'm a Bon Jovi guy. Him and Bruce Springsteen. But I will have to say that this particular song is very middle of the road, very mediocre. Not bad, not great. Heck for that matter. The video wasn't great either. PS: My wife liked it, both the song and the video.
One of the cringest videos of the 90s. I was never a fan, but I had a friend who was. And even him couldn't stand the song. Bon Jovi had many better ones.

Bed of roses the official video is his best vocal in my opinion. Amazing song!!
I agree, the video gives a different message than the song. The song is awesome! Gives an inner look at Jon's vocal range.
I always hated the video. 😂

#1 ROCK BALLAD OF ALL TIME... LISTEN TO THE SONG... DON'T WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO... LISTEN TO THE LYRICS
Bon Jovi has so many amazing songs and this one is no exception. Legendary band.
Bon Jovi - Never Say Goodbye or I'll be there for you💯🔥
Awesome song and te live version of their 1995 concert is pretty good too!
Listened to Jon Bon Jovi in a podcast talking about why Ritchie left the band. Sad to see him here. He was and still is an amazing and talented guitarist and musician.
This video and “lie to me” by them as well is 🤌🏽🤌🏽
Dramatic and also great songs. Give it a shot guys 🙏🏽
Love the song but hated the video. It was to a movie that bombed.
The 95 in London concert was way better. They extended the end which makes the song much better. Awesome. Much watch I think. The end too is fantastic. 🎉😊
Bon Jovi could really rock, but man they were the KINGS of the power ballad!!!
That's true.. Living on prayer also perfect
They actually weren't kings of the power ballad. They are the only band of that era to chart multiple number 1 hits that were non ballads (bad name, prayer, bad medicine, born to be my baby) Only 1 ballad hit 1 (I'll be there for you)

@@BillGraper Jovi only band of that genre to survive and thrive after grunge.

@@Ryan-ku2ez Yep, and they even did a grunge-like song (Prostitute). I discovered it back in 1994. It was the B-side to "This Ain't A Love Song."
Bruh... Who cheats on Carla Gugino?!!! This video began a lifelong crush on that beautiful work of art.
Keri Russell looked very good as well, but yeah, perhaps the roles should've been the other way around. Then again, there would've been less scenes w/ Carla.
Great vocals on I'll Be There for You, Bed of Roses, and Blaze of Glory also.

Thank you for loving me will satisfy your song and video combination
Should've done Wembley 95
Jon's vocals are amazing. Richie was always my crush though 😂 Great reaction and Peace out guys ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Me too!!

Must to listen this song ALWAYS live from London'95😊
What a gig.. 🤘
@@marksnellingphotography It was amazing! I was there. 13 years old and fell in love with Jon and the music that night!
A live version of Bed of Roses is great too. Such talent.
In these Arms is an underrated song by the group. Great message and a rocking tune
*The song was released in 1994 as part of their first Hits-Compilation "CROSS ROAD -- The Best of BON JOVI".* ⬅🎸
I played the death out of this compilation in the 90’s
@@tristanoleary7595 same
You guys should check out..
I'll be there for you, wanted dead or alive,, you give love a bad name!!

Never say Goodbye and Want Dead or Alive are my absolute favorites, and way back from their first album She Don't Know Me and Shot through the Heart
Guilty pleasure of mine. At the time you weren't supposed to still like bands like Bon Jovi.
At least in my High School. But I've always loved this song.
My favorite is Blaze of Glory ❤❤❤
I was listen this on Mtv during 90s... Kid 10 years old 😊😊😊
My big sister and her husband, who have been a couple since they started dating in late 1994, fell in love over this song.
Old Bon Jovi is the best Bon Jovi . Try In and Out of Love 🤟
Never Say Goodbye and Without Love are awesome by Bon Jovi
If we are.going with 90s Bon Jovi. Try listening to Keep the Faith, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. Bed of Rose's or In These Arms. Much better then Always...lol
Keri Russell from Felicity, Carla Gugino and Jack Noseworthy are all in this video!
ITS MY LIFE IS A BANGER!
You need to check out Aldo Nova. He and Jon Bon Jovi were buds. Aldo has some killer songs and some of the best ballads. “Ball and Chain”, and “Someday” are a couple of favorites.
This song is one of my guilty pleasures.
Love the song not the video. You should check out Bed of Roses.
Try Jon's song "Blaze of Glory."
This is back when Jon could sing!
This song is fantastic love it 🙏😁🤘
❤love the song but I'd rather watch the live version at Wembley 1995. The best. Love Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi - Thank you, please❤🔥🔥🔥👍😁
Looking back at this video now, I think the director of the video is conveying the message of the danger of ecstacy back at the time. 🤘😂🤘
Great song, always makes me think of the tragedy of my ex. A couple other good Bon Jovi songs like this to check out from a later album You Want Make a Memory and Til We're Not Strangers Anymore

The song is not a love song Jon Bon Jovi even explained it’s about a stalker who can’t let go of the girl that’s why in the vid he blows up the building killing her and that’s her ghost at the end
She'd already left the building before it blew up.
@@jp3813 seems it was her ghost through the wall
@@Manchestertreblewinners That would've freaked him out. lol
I love this song ❤
Very radio friendly song...pure poprock
❤❤❤❤
Just need to say Jon was cute cute cute in this video. 😉😅 he doesn't sound bad either. 😂

Wanted dead or alive next
Listen bon jovi ,live in wembley (95)
I love how Sam was so engaged and than Phil had to break it up. She looks hot, I think Phillip got a little jealous.
I love the song but hate the video. I think Jon's best vocal performance may be in Bed of Roses

The video with the band just playing the song is much better, this video is distracting

Video and song don't mesh for sure. You really just need to close your eyes and listen to the song and soak it in.
I'm a New Jersey guy, so I'm a Bon Jovi guy. Him and Bruce Springsteen. But I will have to say that this particular song is very middle of the road, very mediocre. Not bad, not great. Heck for that matter. The video wasn't great either.
PS: My wife liked it, both the song and the video.
This song is way too epic to be just in the middle. Hence, it has endured across generations for decades w/o being a meme.
Jangan mereaksi video tapi dengar kan musik dan lagu nya yng disukai diseluruh dunia kecil tua muda. Anda mungkin tidak tau musik kayak nya
That's why don't need to watch videos.
One of the cringest videos of the 90s. I was never a fan, but I had a friend who was. And even him couldn't stand the song. Bon Jovi had many better ones.
Cope
Cope
#1 rock ballad of all time. Stop watching the video an listen to the song. Ya couldn't be more wrong about anything in your life friend 😂
Agree
I've been a Bon Jovi fan since the beginning. This is one of my all time favorite ballads, only beaten by never say goodbye
