i think it's a very solid rock album it's not like any of those panic reactions to the rise of grunge by many 80s arena rockers but more like an adjustment to what bon jovi did in the 80s - they didn't completely throw everything out the window what made them great in the first place i like the album from start to finish with the springsteen-esque dry country fighting with the title track and bed of roses for the top spot and for the sellout part; bon jovi was aiming for mainstream success since runaway
Europe absolutely Kept The Faith. That album actually made them even bigger over here than the US. Grunge was massive in Europe too, but it was'nt the all defining sound, as there was a huge rise in say, dance music, along with bands like Depeche Mode also scoring huge continuous success from the 80s. Europe was far more eclectic and on MTV here, you had an incredible about of vast, various music and associated shows. Bon Jovi themselves were selling out multiple nights in Stadiums across Europe in the 90s, with Keep the Faith- and These Days being as gigantic here as say, Slippery when Wet was.
I absolutely love that album. It has some Great songs like: I Believe, Keep the faith, In these arms, Bed of roses... I love the main riff of If "I was your mother"! And off course, the best Richie Zambora´s guitar solo for me is in "Dry County"
"Keep The Faith" is my favorite album of Bon Jovi, with one of the greatest song they had written "Dry County". I was 16 years old when it was released and i was not into grudge at all so for me this album was the logical following record to write and release. A Record more mature and right in the momentum of the 90's. Still love it today !!! "I Believe", "Keep The Faith", "If I Was Your Mother", "Dry County", "In These Arms", "Bed Of Roses", "Save A Prayer", and "I want You", etc... are great songs and 200% Bon Jovi)
@@gus4u2c Jon said in an interview when he hired beck for the song he said “he came in and took this cheap guitar and tiny amp and made sounds I could not understand, he is the best I ever heard”.
Keep the faith WAS HUGE back in the day. Still holds now. Several hits, Bed of Roses, Keep The Faith, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, I These Arms. And of course, the behemoth Dry County.
Greatest gift Bon Jovi and Richie gave was the acoustic live performance at the 1989 VMAs. So good, and if I remember right it help push the idea for the unplugged series. That gave us so many good albums, Pearl Jam unplugged, Nirvana, Alice in Chains unplugged was one of my favorites. Thanks Bon Jovi!
I was 15 when the album was released, and I listen to it a lot. Bon Jovi was one of my favorite artist around that time, and I would play the keep the faith and these days albums on repeat.
@@Peasant_in_a_tree your so cool talking trash online, I mean it takes real men with big balls to talk trash to strangers from behind their keyboards. Im sure every girl musr loves a real tough guy like you. 🙄👈
The first album I bought was Slippery When Wet on vinyl when I was in 4th grade and the first concert I attended was a Bon Jovi concert. I listened to a lot of that stuff but I always moved towards the more "legitimate" music after I discovered And Justice For All. Facelift by Alice in Chains was probably the album that made me basically abandon all that stuff. By the time I bought Nevermind I was turning my nose up at all of it outside of Guns N Roses. Of course there were some duds in the grunge era but it was just better music, not always from a technical aspect because CC Deville can shred, but in the beginning it was more genuine. Rock had become very formulaic which is unfortunately the fate of most genres. It happened to grunge too. Today I can listen to all that stuff from the 80s and enjoy it because it's fun music, but the initial wave of grunge bands weren't following any trend or writing songs for radio as opposed to making what they thought was the most creative and that's why it holds up better than something like Bon Jovi.
In actuality it wasn't. It was a push in the 90s across all music forms to push Gen X into an anti establishment movement. From the huge shift in rap to grunge it was to brainwash the youth into a completely different mind set.. it was done on purpose.
I really thought it was that awful band Firehouse that really pushed things over the edge and made grunge inevitable. No way 13 year old me was going to be into “Love of a Lifetime”!
@@jamesstaggs4160 I have been a metalhead most of my life..Metallica was the first metal band I got into which most people had..AIC is metal so they are my fav grunge band with Soundgarden
@bltvd to be fair, ballads were written for 16 and 17 yr olds that were head over heels for their girlfriend or boyfriend. The metal heads would pretend they didn't like it in front of their crew, but would hold their girls hand and listen to it all the time in the back seat of their car. Grunge, rap and thrash metal etc were marketed to the rebellious (mostly teen boys) crowd. P.s can't stand YT censoring my 1st reply.
Young Guns 2 soundtrack is definitely one of the top soundtrack albums to me. I still listen to a few of the songs but "Blood Money" to me was my favorite. I loved the feel of it being a letter from Billy the Kid to Pat Garrett.
Bon Jovi was the first band I went crazy for as a kid. It was my introduction to music. But as I grew up and got into, metal, punk, reggae, hip hop and then moving back to Seattle and embracing grunge, I checked out on Bon Jovi. It was okay but just wasn’t interesting enough for me anymore. I will always be grateful for giving me that fist spark of interest to the thing that dominates my thoughts and time, Music. But like a lot of their early fans I just outgrew them. While a band like the RHCP, I also loved as a kid, I feel they grew up with me and that’s why their still my favorite band to this day.
I have that CD. It wasn't bad. I was sick of grudge everywhere at the time. This was different and from what I remember, it was very successful. Radio played this album like crazy.
at college in the 80's, my friend and i were driving around with the radio on, following one of their songs the dj outro-ed the song with.... "and that was bone joe vai" pronounced like steve vai.
Keep the Faith was a departure from the hit making machine Bon Jovi turned into by 1989. It's one of my favorite Bon Jovi albums. Not that I listen much Bon Jovi these days, but I stopped seriously listening to their music after Keep the Faith. Richie Sambora is still a kickass guitarist in books.
I wasn't a fan of Bon Jovi after the skating rink, but he didn't do it wrong and he didn't "sell out". Selling out would be trying to mimic what's popular. Doesn't look like he did that to me. Experimentation is another thing.
This album was huge in the UK. I literally had to listen to it endlessly in my friends cars or if I went to hang out at their houses. It wasn't my style (I absolutely was a grunge/indie in the old meaning kid). It's actually engraved into my mind whether I want it or not.
I was 19 when Keep The Faith came out and I enjoy Bon Jovi and the Seattle grunge bands equally as much. I don't hear any real departure except with Bed of Roses and the ballads getting longer. I remember hearing I Believe and I thought it's the same old Bon Jovi, which wasn't a bad thing. When I heard about Dry County it was being compared to November Rain so, rock radio had a lot to look forward to, when it came to this album through the summer of 1993.
The guy with the long blonde hair at 0:13 and Jon Bon Jovi at 0:21 - fking hell they both look stunning!! I'd kill for *both* of them!!! 😍🥵💓 *edit: also omg Kiefer Sutherland at **2:31** aaahhh he's one of my fave actors I absolutely *loved* 24 !! Binge watched it back in lockdown for 8 seasons 🔫🕓
I have a serious soft spot for that album and had the title tattooed on my shoulder when I was 20 as a reminder that things might be okay tomorrow. After terminating my mother's life support at 20 yrs old and then becoming homeless due to the subsequent debt, having that (and these days) on repeat to keep me sain and motivated to keep studying and practising and helped me to become the professional musician I am today. Also Richie's solo on dry county is VERY under rated.
Garth Brooks was the mfng man from 92-02 he was everywhere the central park concert that was aired live on TV around the world pretty sure he has sold more albums than anyone ever in any genre that may have changed not sure
There was a lively rock scene everywhere, all different kinds of styles of music and then there was grunge, many of the rock clubs closed within a few years, most were gone by the mid to late 90's, music all sounded and looked the same and was depressing. Album sales tanked by the early 2000's and rock and metal has never recovered in the u.s., but there is a lively rock and metal scene in europe, a vast market with many different sounds and styles, much like it was in the u.s. from the 60's until 1992ish.
I like Bon Jovi but I’ve never put them on my list of favorite bands… They have a lot of good songs, but nothing that particularly stands out. Having said that, I remember being a kid and even at their height of fame and popularity they were trashed. I’ve always found it ironic that in spite of that, they were the band that not only survived the end of ‘Hair Metal’, but thrived, having hits well into the 2000’s. I would think as much as the band has been trashed since the 80’s that’s got to be vindicating.
I like how Jon handled it. He didn't try to change his sound or change his band. He held firm and eventually the member berries revived his career through 80s nostalgia.
@@miganhawkins8390 funny, because Foo Fighters played after Pantera at Milton Keyes in 98 and not only became friends with those guys, but also won over the crowd.
Grunge was just so much more real than all this 80s rock and i liked some of the 80s rock too but Grunge was just so much better and so what if it was at times negative it had a positive effect. it’s ok to sing about negative things it’s better than not expressing it or exorcising the demons
When I hear anyone say anything about an artist "selling out" I tell them to read the lyrics as they hear TOOL's "Hooker With a Penis" and then again until they get it. Guess this channel doesn't cover progressive Rock or whatever genre our favorite Rock band's favorite Rock band (TOOL) is. Tool is my favorite band.
Jon has run the band from day one. All the other members worked for him as employees rather than band mates. At one stage he was going to sack all the members and replace them with the E Street Band.
I personaly think Keep the Faith is probably the best album of the band, not entirely pop, not entirely rock, more mature and the last album with the original members
I was a long time devoted Bon Jovi Fan, But when Jon Started getting to Political and Showing How Full of himself he really is and Greedy I started listening less and less Then after finding out how he treated the band Cinderella and his lack of empathy for Tom Keifer it was too much, Sambora I am still a fan of him because he's a stand up Guy and at least he did right by Cinderella and gave his ownership back to the Band because he has a Conscience.
Love him or hate him, and I’m not a Bon Jovi fan for the most part; but the man wasn’t wrong: grunge came and went and their still around. I’m Gen X, and I can say that from firsthand experience.
Not a fan of Bon Jovi, in fact i kind of despised them back in the 80s (was more into Priest, Maiden, Dokken, etc), but I atleast give respect to the band for not trying to do a grunge sound like a lot of the hair bands from that era tried (and failed at) during the 90s.
Maybe Kurt was high on heroin when he said that. He just wrote songs about how depressed he was in real life. How does that make him a musical genius? I never understood the big deal about the guy. The only reason he didn't fade away with all the other grunge acts is that he died and being a member of the 27 club kept his name alive. That's a really stupid club to belong to, so he had no room to talk about anybody.
i was like 14 or something when Slippery When Wet" came out and i had it, by the time "Mew Jersey" came out i had zero interest and had found all sorts of other music so i dint really care about Bon Jovi one way or the other, i also did not like or care about grunge when it happened because i was already listening to underground music from the 50s up to the 80s by that point and i did not understand why so many people thought this was a new thing. suddenly "Alternative" music was all over the top 40 stations and i was thoroughly confused why it was being called alternative as well as why people thought Nirvana had just invented a new thing. i actually really like Richie Samobora's solo album much more than Jon's or any of the Bonjovi albums. but most of all it has irritated me for 30 something years now how one style of music has to be popular and all other styles are not. i dont understnd why grunge could not have been big AND glam metal still be big as well. not that those are the two types of music i personally like but i just mean what the hell do people have against variety, why does one thing have to be cool at a time.
As much as I like the Keep the Faith album, I gotta go with the New Jersey album as my favorite album by the band. Slippery When Wet is too overplayed and too commercial.
I don’t think the band gets it’s due for being able to reinvent themselves without losing their core audience and at the same time stay true to themselves. They got big in the 80s, did their own thing in the 90s (I think both those albums are amazing) and than did the same with It’s my life. Not a lot of bands and artist have been able to both stay true and change at the same time. I’m a huge fan! That being said I think the last few albums have been weak. Have a nice day was imo the last great Bon Jovi-song.
To their credit, almost all Glam Metal bands faded away overnight when Grunge took over, even the ones that did a “grunge” album. Bon Jovi managed to stay not just afloat but successful.
In order to stay revelant as an 80s band, go heavier. But not like grunge or Metallica. Go Power Metal. Modern Stryper does it right. They are an 80s band that sounds like a power metal band, yet still sounds like themselves. Most modern power metal bands sound like they came from the 80s. Even a band like DragonForce vocals are 80s inspired. Through the Fire and Flames has classic 80s vocals.
That's odd. When I want to remember the good times of skipping school spending nights together with my friends, guys, and girls and bonding over those albums, I listen to grunge.
He could. He’s the real deal. Bon Jovi has always been a pop oriented band, though, however they’ve chosen to arrange their songs throughout the years. They write pop songs at their core but put on a rock show.
Yeah that dude is a nepo plant to begin with. Pretty sure he ritualed Cobain to get his own gig and then ritualed the other guy to keep it going. Dave Ghoul
I'm indifferent as I never really liked any Jovi stuff personally. But for what it's worth I think from that point going forward, things definitely sound worse to my ears. But again, never was a fan, so I'm not the best person to ask.
It wasn’t a choice it was an industry shift. They threw the switch and then said “listen to this and only this” for the next five Ritalin infused years
What other albums should I do a deep dive on?

Keep the Faith is arguably their best album. Dry County is such a magnificent song.

I was a long time devoted Bon Jovi Fan, But when Jon Started getting to Political and Showing How Full of himself he really is and Greedy I started listening less and less Then after finding out how he treated the band Cinderella and his lack of empathy for Tom Keifer it was too much, Sambora I am still a fan of him because he's a stand up Guy and at least he did right by Cinderella and gave his ownership back to the Band because he has a Conscience.

Love him or hate him, and I’m not a Bon Jovi fan for the most part; but the man wasn’t wrong: grunge came and went and their still around. I’m Gen X, and I can say that from firsthand experience.
Grunge is still better.
Great video.
@@allanvanuga9196 thanks
His hair looks similar to the late 90s Soccer Mom hairdo.
Blaze of glory riiiiped harrrd
I don’t get jumping off something really
Tall and not breaking your legs like
In that one Bon Jovi music video….
Not a fan of Bon Jovi, in fact i kind of despised them back in the 80s (was more into Priest, Maiden, Dokken, etc), but I atleast give respect to the band for not trying to do a grunge sound like a lot of the hair bands from that era tried (and failed at) during the 90s.
He looks drunk in the thumbnail
Not a fan of his music in the slightest, but really enjoyed the video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Kurt Cobain didn't call him a "talentless piece of shit" for no reason.
Kurt Cobain could only play power chords and can barely sing. Anybody in bon Jovi could play or sing circles around Cobain.😅
Maybe Kurt was high on heroin when he said that. He just wrote songs about how depressed he was in real life. How does that make him a musical genius? I never understood the big deal about the guy. The only reason he didn't fade away with all the other grunge acts is that he died and being a member of the 27 club kept his name alive. That's a really stupid club to belong to, so he had no room to talk about anybody.
I thought his name was Bovine Joni.
..And if you get that reference, we can be friends.
i was like 14 or something when Slippery When Wet" came out and i had it, by the time "Mew Jersey" came out i had zero interest and had found all sorts of other music so i dint really care about Bon Jovi one way or the other, i also did not like or care about grunge when it happened because i was already listening to underground music from the 50s up to the 80s by that point and i did not understand why so many people thought this was a new thing. suddenly "Alternative" music was all over the top 40 stations and i was thoroughly confused why it was being called alternative as well as why people thought Nirvana had just invented a new thing. i actually really like Richie Samobora's solo album much more than Jon's or any of the Bonjovi albums.
but most of all it has irritated me for 30 something years now how one style of music has to be popular and all other styles are not. i dont understnd why grunge could not have been big AND glam metal still be big as well. not that those are the two types of music i personally like but i just mean what the hell do people have against variety, why does one thing have to be cool at a time.
A poser changing his hair style to fit in? I'll alert the media.
As much as I like the Keep the Faith album, I gotta go with the New Jersey album as my favorite album by the band. Slippery When Wet is too overplayed and too commercial.
I don’t think the band gets it’s due for being able to reinvent themselves without losing their core audience and at the same time stay true to themselves. They got big in the 80s, did their own thing in the 90s (I think both those albums are amazing) and than did the same with It’s my life. Not a lot of bands and artist have been able to both stay true and change at the same time. I’m a huge fan!
That being said I think the last few albums have been weak. Have a nice day was imo the last great Bon Jovi-song.
To their credit, almost all Glam Metal bands faded away overnight when Grunge took over, even the ones that did a “grunge” album.
Bon Jovi managed to stay not just afloat but successful.
I have never liked a Bon Jovi song! I say that proudly he could disappear I would never care!
America isn't the world. "Keep The Faith" was a huge hit in Asia as well.
was pretty big in Australia too, was my first bj record and tour seeing them live.
In order to stay revelant as an 80s band, go heavier. But not like grunge or Metallica. Go Power Metal. Modern Stryper does it right. They are an 80s band that sounds like a power metal band, yet still sounds like themselves. Most modern power metal bands sound like they came from the 80s. Even a band like DragonForce vocals are 80s inspired. Through the Fire and Flames has classic 80s vocals.
Make me look like Nirvana 😂😂😂😂😂
I quite enjoyed the Keep the Faith album, I especially liked the song Dry County.
Grunge bands lasted less than 5 minutes.
Bands like pearl jam, Alice in chains, smashing pumpkins and others still have successfull tours these days.
Dry your eyes Snowflake, Kurt and Eddie can't hurt you anymore.
Well Jon you're not that bright so that's not surprising.
Thank you for the post! ✌🏼😊
Grunge>Bon Jovi
When I want to feel despair, depression, and hopelessness… I listen to grunge.
That's odd.
When I want to remember the good times of skipping school spending nights together with my friends, guys, and girls and bonding over those albums, I listen to grunge.
Ok boomer
You tried.

Thanks for taking a break from sniffing your dead grandma's panties to stop by and talk music.
Jon: "I can still rock with the best of them." No. No, you can't.
He could. He’s the real deal. Bon Jovi has always been a pop oriented band, though, however they’ve chosen to arrange their songs throughout the years. They write pop songs at their core but put on a rock show.
yes yes yes he could.Easily....
Sambora was always the most talented out of the group .
Seeing as how one of the tenants of Grunge was Authenticity, this would’ve been cringe and laughable.
Bon Jovi is a Christian band that doesn't market themselves as one.
Bon Jovi just lost a lot of my respect but I am sure his millions will cheer him up.
I don't buy that story Dave Grohl told for one second.
Yeah that dude is a nepo plant to begin with. Pretty sure he ritualed Cobain to get his own gig and then ritualed the other guy to keep it going. Dave Ghoul
You're defensive 😅
Grunge is way better than anything Bon Jovie put out. Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Mother Lovebone are way way better
Yooooooo
These Days [1995] is the Greatest Album of All Time
Don't understand why people seem to love this album. Keep the Faith is their last good album, IMO. These Days sounds like pure vanilla.
😳
What is with all of the Bon Jovi hate?
Jealousy or just plain arrogance elitism that's why!
yikes, pretty boy jon's face didn't age well. I remember kurt cobain saying in an interview how ridiculous bonjovi was wearing flannel in the 90s🙄
I'm indifferent as I never really liked any Jovi stuff personally. But for what it's worth I think from that point going forward, things definitely sound worse to my ears. But again, never was a fan, so I'm not the best person to ask.
I can't believe we gave up that awesome 80's music for the farce known as grunge.
It wasn’t a choice it was an industry shift. They threw the switch and then said “listen to this and only this” for the next five Ritalin infused years
