One thing about jon bon jovi.....he us a decent human being. He's used his fame for goid. He's been with the same woman since high school. He does charity work, feeding ppl, habitat for humanity.. He's one if those rare breed who didn't let fame rule his life. I live his music even more, because of that
He also just pulled someone back over the edge on a bridge in Nashville. He happened to be shooting a promo or commercial or something and noticed a woman who was preparing to jump a but further down the bridge. He went and talked her back over. Yeah, the silver fox is actually a good guy! ❤
... until he told the world he had lived the rocker life with lots of groupies on the side. I really don't care per se, but, WOW what a kick in the teeth for his wife for the whole world to know he screwed around on her! Not a nice human AT ALL.
He also owns a restaurant called "The Soul Kitchen", where he never charges for a meal. You pay for your meal by free will donation, volunteering your time to wash dishes, clean tables, etc. he does it because he believes that EVERY person, whether homeless, middle class, the rich elite, it doesnt matter, deserves a good meal. Jon Bon Jiovi is as much a legend in public as he is in the music industry
You are not a true music reactor until you have listened to Bon Jovi...yes, you have arrived! Yes please, more Bon Jovi!! Wanted Dead or Alive, You Give Love a Bad Name. You'll be a fan forever.
Jon Bon Jovi is an amazing musician and a incredible human being. He's always sharing his money time and influence with all kinds of charities. And he's also a real life hero who recently talked down a woman who was on a bridge, ready to jump. He was nearby with the filming crew and noticed the woman standing at the railing of the bridge and took action. He saved her life and that's just one example of the kind of guy that Jon Bon Jovi is. There are videos on RUclips showing it from traffic cams on the bridge.
A talkbox is the tube/speaker the guitarist uses. Richie Sambora is an amazing guitar player and contributes a lot on vocals too. The whole band is fantastic.
Sambora IS a great guitarist! Honestly I still love the first solo album he put out. Times moves on and I never even heard his second d and third ones, but the first one was definitely good enough that I SHOULD check out the other two.
Yeah the talk box is pretty unique. Essentially the guitar sound is pumped out through the tube into the guitarists mouth who can then articulate words or shapes to alter the sound which is then picked up by the mic and sent out to the PA. Great to see the reaction here!
Well... Freddie Mercury defined himself a "performer". And it was simply a GIANT in music. So it's not just that. It's the "easy way" the thing that ruined all.
A brilliant assessment of your own growth through open mindedness. You are the winner for allowing yourself to step outside your comfort zone. We are winners for having lived it and for living it again through you. Thanks
@@shmick6079 Everyone called it "hard rock" back then. At least here in Sweden. The hair was just part of the 80's fashion. You see it in all sorts of music from that time.
What I like more than the music from Bon Jovi is the fact that he is an outstanding and Steller human being. He made millions has millions and is so down to earth. That's why everybody loves him. He is a very well grounded and generous individual.
One of my favorite things in life is watching groups of random people come together for impromptu singalongs to this song. There's a video on RUclips of what I believe is Central Park in NYC, full of people just doing their thing, and there's this older blind guy on the bench who randomly starts singing one of the verses. As soon as he hits the chorus, I swear, every damn person sings with him. It's so satisfying 😂❤
Jon's great vocals are evident in each song. Same for the great instrumentation of his band. Don't forget....all these "hair bands" of the 70s and 80s had the best power-ballets ever written and produced. 99% are definitely worth a listening.
The genius of the Rock era was "normal" for those of us born in the mid 50's through the mid 60's. You are helping us rediscover that genius and joy and awe. Thank you!
The Mollyboy confessional, I love it! You didn't waste 23 years; you just opened your mind and heart to something new to you! I think you should learn to play the guitar to open your mind even further! The guitarist for this band, (Richie Sambora) is one of the best and most underrated.
I'm a little hillbilly granny from a small mountain town in california. I love your shows, and think you are adorable. I'm so glad you enjoy our music. Thank you for sharing with us.
Jon Bon Jovi is a good dude, he recently talked a woman down from a bridge who was going to commit suicide. I've seen them 5 times in concert and they never disappoint. Sadly his voice has gone now but he's had an op on it so hopefully it's recovering. "Dry County is great song with an awesome guitar solo"
As always, a wonderful reaction. This old lady has fully delighted in your musical journey, Molly Boy. As for Bon Jovi, others in the comments will give you the names of their plethora of rock hits. When you are in the mood for a ballad where Jon Bon Jovi showcases his incredible vocals, I strongly suggest "Bed of Roses". A truly beautiful song with the foundation of rock and roll which all the best power ballads of the genre possess. Keep on rockin'!
Don't feel bad MollyBoy. Most people your age felt the same way until they heard our music and were dumbstruck about how good rock music sounds. Tell all your friends!😊
John Bon Jovi is rock royalty.. married to wife forever.. his philanthropic endeavors are amazing… he gives back what his fans have given to him. React to Peter Frampton using the talk box while playing his guitar…. Awesome
Jon Bon Jovi is a great humanitarian. He own restaurants in New Jersey and Philadelphia where people can pay what they can afford. He also has a very low rent apartment building in Philadelphia where they also help people get jobs.
Richie Sambora on guitar! Jon Giovanni vocals! Check out Blaze of Glory from movie Young Guns 'll or Wanted Dead or Alive played beginning of Deadliest Catch TV show!❤
When you said "this sounds like it's an anthem" - must have been your subconscious speaking from knowing that chorus! "You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Keep The Faith" are also seriously catchy mainstream rock tunes that are now classics of 80s and 90s music respectively. Many tend to disregard pop/rock standards like this and bands like Bon Jovi, either because they consider them too mainstream or that it's not "rock" enough, but I think that's pretty narrow-minded. This is a gem from the 80s and yes, that chorus is anthemic! Kudos to you from this kid of the 70s who grew up on 80s and 90s pop and rock, for opening your ears and mind to much more music - and you're being well rewarded now with all these brilliant riffs, melodies, bands and singers. It's going to continue to be a great journey, so roll with it and enjoy the ride!
This was the "stay strong baby" anthem for hard rock couples living together and working factory jobs, this track kept the dreams alive when times got tough, all you had was each other and fire in ya blood. That's how I remember it.🤘🙏🎸
I had just gottern out of high schoiol when this came out, about 40 years ago. Bon Jovi were great then and they're still great now! Jon's voice is still greeat. More Bon Jovi please. One of their more recent songs is It's My Life. Another great track and a great video.
You've made my day!!! You are so young and yet you recognize TRUE talent! I grew up with 80's rock music. In my opinion it's still the best music ever made. The singing was awesome...the musicians superb....lyrics were important....it was the whole package....AND YOU'VE FOUND IT!!! Good on you young man. 😊keep rockin and rollin..... you're just getting started! Many thanks for keeping an open mind...
I really like Bon Jovi’s most well known songs. That’s about all I know of them. John Bon Jovi has an organization called Soul Kitchen where they feed hungry people with no money. They earn their meal by contributing their time by helping out. Have seen pictures of him doing dishes there. God bless him!🙏🏻💖
As far as I remember, he signed the contract allowing the band to walk away if they desired, but he promised every member that they would be millionaires. It happened !!
"Keep the Faith", "These Days", "Hey God", "Bed of Roses", "Something for the Pain", "It's hard letting you go", "Runaway", "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", "Someday I'll be Saturday Night"
gotta do Dead or Alive, Bed of Roses and Its my life....just to name a few. This song is ICONIC 40 years later still played in alot of stadiums all over the world. Richie Sambora is EPIC on guitar, have fun going down the Bon Jovi rabbit hole.
Hell yeah MB!!!! I love seeing you rock out to good music. I think even rappers & country folk love some Bon Jovi, you just can't go wrong with that kind of energy & sound.
Dead or alive is one of my favourites hope you listen and respond to that one too im sure once you here them you will want to listen to them all love your reactions of music i grew up on
And now here we go!!!!!!! I am so here for the Bon Jovi reactions! My all-time favorite band!!! Bon Jovi is amazing!!! There are so many things to watch! Try "Wanted, Dead or Alive," "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Lay Your Hands On Me." I have an entire list!!
Molly Boy, i love you more & more with each reaction!!😊 YES, BTW, the 80's had EXCELLENT guitarists, & vocalists, actually every musician in most of the 70's & 80's bands were TOP TIER!!🎉☺️ I am so happy, that you're enjoying more & more of the music/bands i was blessed to grow up with! We were concert-heads back in the day, going to every live show we could!! We LIVED for the experience of seeing all these greats live. We were happy, & partied like rock stars, while going to one concert after another! Growing up in the 70's & 80's were the BEST EVERRRR!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Bon Jovi's transition out of hair metal is probably the funniest to me. They go from the super perms you see here to regular haircuts and flannel shirts in the 90s. It's hilarious.
Just four blue-collar kids from New Jersey. When their first album "Slippery When Wet" hit, they were in the middle of a tour, opening for other - mostly much Heavier - bands. Their Manager actually pulled them off the tour, chartered them a flight to meet him, and as they got off the plane - so the story goes - met them on the tarmac with envelopes and another four guys in suits, and said "Here. These are your first cheques from the album, and THESE are your Personal Accountants." They left almost immediately thereafter to headline their OWN tour, and ruled 80s Rock from that moment forward.
Been waiting for you to drop some Bon Jovi! Love it. Jon's voice is incredible, but ... Ritchie Sambora (guitar) is criminally underrated. Wanted Dead or Alive and Bed of Roses are absolute classics, but ... HREE Bon Jovi songs have more than 1bn views each, Livin on a Prayer, Always. Would recommend the other two for sure. Keep up the epic content. Love it.
This was my theme song at the beginning of a marriage in 1986. Their song It's My Life was there for me 20yrs later at the end of the marriage. Bon Jovi has played a role in my life. Not sure I would have had the guts to leave without the perspective I gained from It's My Life.
***WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE*** the theme from Young Guns is a must! He was on all our bedroom walls...he was a bad boy with a cute grin and just in the past month he saved a lady from jumping off a bridge, there's a video.
It was Blaze Of Glory written for Young Guns 2 They wanted, Wanted Dead Or Alive, but Jon wanted to write another one, which was Blaze Of Glory Love all Bon Jovi songs. 🙂
@@carolynmorrissey1630 Yep right, I got to typing too quick and didn't name the song, I was trying to give one or two titles per comment but I got crazy and fired off at least 6 or 7.
Awwww.. Sweet Caroline! I love it... it was so fun to sing to when they played it at Fenway Park before a baseball game.. But even better, I got to see Neil sing it in person... its sooo fun! Maybe you can try another Neil Diamond song.. then ease in.. Yes, more Bon Jovi, please.. Have you reacted to Guns and Roses?
The instrument is called a Talk Box. Plastic pipe takes sound from usually a keyboard to mouth where the it is manipulated using voice before output through a microphone.
Awesome reaction, and imho a first-time reaction. The chorus is so ubiquitous you have to be living under a rock not to have heard it, but listening to it start to finish is a totally different thing. Going forward you'll undoubtedly react to other songs where you've heard the chorus, but don't be so quick to say they're not first-time reactions. I was 16 when this came out, and even though hair bands weren't my thing I liked this song. People poked a little fun at hair bands even back then, but Bon Jovi was always taken seriously because they're talented musicians and Jon Bon Jovi can really sing. And as others have commented, he's a decent human being--even recently talked a woman off a bridge in Nashville. If it helps to contextualize him a bit, his son just married Millie Bobby Brown a few days ago. Keep 'em coming! "You Give Love a Bad Name" would be a great one to check out next.
I was never a huge fan, but this was hands down the best concert i saw. The crowd knew every word, and it was a 2 hour endorphin rush. I dropped my paycheck somewhere at the concert and it was still top 3 concerts i attended
Ahhhhhh the talk box and incredible guitar!! Please react to Peter Framton live on the midnight special. 1975. Do you feel like we do. You will love it. Thanks for the smiles 💙🎶🕊
Bon Jovi has had some real amazing songs, just brill. When Richie sambora was with them they were fab vocalists they just suited each other rock gods together. ❤❤❤
Don't sweat the 22+ years you think you could have been listening to rock. Sure, you COULD have, but you likely would not have appreciated it nearly as much as you are now. You needed that past as a hip hop fan to influence you and your taste in music. You are being introduced to GREAT music at just the right time jn your personal journey to really LISTEN to it and yearn to take it all in. You have heard bits and pieces of lots of these great songs before, but dud nit appreciate them then because itcwasnxt the right time for you to. Now is your time to HEAR, LOVE, and LEARN ABOUT truly great music of so many types. Keep up the great work!! You are slaying it. 🤘🏼❤
It makes me smile that even though MollyBoy is now a rich and famous RUclipsr with his own successful channel, he still says, "Sorry" to us little people for pausing or rewinding 😘
"Wizard on a chair", "Lizard and a bear", "Lemon and a pear", "Vivid underwear..." etc, etc. My friends and I used to try to crack each other up when this song first came out by coming up with different lyrics.
Hey MB, Bon Jovi was so huge because of the girls. The ladies crushed on John and Ritchie. FYI - the effects is a guitar talk box also known as voice box, mouth wawa, or robotic voice.
If you want to do more Bon Jovi, "Wanted, Dead or Alive". Also, for someone who digs amazing guitarists, it's also time you did more Dire Straits with Mark Knopfler ('Telegraph Road' and 'Once Upon a Time in the West', both from Alchemy Live; the official video for 'Lady Writer'; also 'Private Investigation', 'You and Your Friend' and 'Brothers in Arms' from On the Night).
Something most people don't know about Jon Bon Jovi...he owns a restaurant in NJ...a really nice place...and the food is charged at whatever you can afford to pay, or free, if you are homeless. He can often be found washing dishes at this restaurant. He's a stand up guy. We need more people like Jon.
Gotta listen to his song Wanted Dead or Alive!
Agreed.
And Bad Medicine
I'm a cowboy~,on a steelhorse i ride ~♪
Yep this absolutely
Yes!!
One thing about jon bon jovi.....he us a decent human being. He's used his fame for goid. He's been with the same woman since high school. He does charity work, feeding ppl, habitat for humanity.. He's one if those rare breed who didn't let fame rule his life. I live his music even more, because of that
Sounds a little too good to be true.
@@michelvoortman4725 I've read all of this about him too, seems like the real deal
He also just pulled someone back over the edge on a bridge in Nashville. He happened to be shooting a promo or commercial or something and noticed a woman who was preparing to jump a but further down the bridge. He went and talked her back over. Yeah, the silver fox is actually a good guy! ❤
@@michelvoortman4725 It’s ALL true. And more. Too bad you’re so jaded.
... until he told the world he had lived the rocker life with lots of groupies on the side. I really don't care per se, but, WOW what a kick in the teeth for his wife for the whole world to know he screwed around on her! Not a nice human AT ALL.
Man, don’t let people throw you off BonJovi, they have great songs.
He also owns a restaurant called "The Soul Kitchen", where he never charges for a meal.

That's really cool.
Es My idolo positivo
TRUE STORY
Wanted Dead or Alive, You give Love a Bad Name, and Jon's solo song Blaze of Glory
100% ALL of these songs!!!! 🔥🔥🎶❤️✌🏻
ohhh.. i'd forgotten Blaze of Glory! i know, i know... bad Gen X'er 😅 I'm gonna go look it up!
You are not a true music reactor until you have listened to Bon Jovi...yes, you have arrived! Yes please, more Bon Jovi!! Wanted Dead or Alive, You Give Love a Bad Name. You'll be a fan forever.
Good suggestions ❤❤ love me some Jon Bon Jovi ❤❤❤😊
Are you 14 ? 12?

I saw that on a clip! Love that,
Metalhead here, but... It's Bon Jovi man!! 👌🖤
Try Wanted Dead or Alive next.
Keep rockin. Peace 🤘
Yea, your right it is Bon Jovi 😊
@@stevefilley9765 he's not wrong

Sambora IS a great guitarist! Honestly I still love the first solo album he put out. Times moves on and I never even heard his second d and third ones, but the first one was definitely good enough that I SHOULD check out the other two.
Yeah the talk box is pretty unique. Essentially the guitar sound is pumped out through the tube into the guitarists mouth who can then articulate words or shapes to alter the sound which is then picked up by the mic and sent out to the PA.
Great to see the reaction here!
The talk box can be used on a keyboard too, such as ELO "Mr. Blue Sky".
Peter Framptons "Frampton Comes Alive" album is one to listen to if you like the "talk box". He does it well. :)
The difference in today and classic rock is....today they are "performers". Classic Rock was dominated by "musicians!!!"
Well... Freddie Mercury defined himself a "performer". And it was simply a GIANT in music. So it's not just that. It's the "easy way" the thing that ruined all.
@@AlessandroGenTLeFreddie will always be a music god - along with elvis and Michael
great summation. Agree
@@AlessandroGenTLeYep, and using auto tune and computer tools in modern day “music.” There is good underground music, just not mainstream.
I wouldn't call them performers, pretenders is more fitting.
A brilliant assessment of your own growth through open mindedness. You are the winner for allowing yourself to step outside your comfort zone. We are winners for having lived it and for living it again through you. Thanks
Well said! I truly enjoy watching MollyBoy's facial expressions as he experiences these classics for the first time. Fabulous.
This is the start of the 80s reactions era... I'M SO READY FOR IT 🎸🎶
80's music is so good lol... And the 80's clothes and big hair are on the comeback. I'm fucking all for it
80's chicks were baddies lol
Probably the biggest hair metal band of the 80s… and this is absolutely the definitive song of that era.
hair yes, metal no
@@jaquestraw1 yeah they were considered metal in the 80s.
@@shmick6079 Everyone called it "hard rock" back then. At least here in Sweden. The hair was just part of the 80's fashion. You see it in all sorts of music from that time.
I wouldn't have been caught dead listening to bon Jovi back then ( even though I liked it). I was way too cool for that 🤣
Jersey’s finest! I love Runaway.
When you said it sounds like an anthem, you were right. That’s why you know the chorus. Thanks for the reaction.
It really was The Anthem for the 80’s!
What I like more than the music from Bon Jovi is the fact that he is an outstanding and Steller human being. He made millions has millions and is so down to earth. That's why everybody loves him. He is a very well grounded and generous individual.

The most iconic hair metal song of the 80s
you'll like Wanted Dead or Alive
And Blaze of Gory if my memory serves was the done for the film Young Guns ?
Yes! Those are both legit with a southern rock feel. Again to skinnard
Jon's great vocals are evident in each song.
Same for the great instrumentation of his band.
Don't forget....all these "hair bands" of the 70s and 80s had the best power-ballets ever written and produced. 99% are definitely worth a listening.
You should react to Bon Jovi’s massive 2000 comeback song “It’s My Life”, which references the characters from “Livin on a Prayer”
I love It's My Life! And LOVE Livin' On A Prayer.
And "Frankie said I did it my way" ❤
***I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU*** huge. Whoever said no to him, stupid, the likes are coming with this one! ICONIC BAND.
Seconded
OMG I grew up on Bonjovi. Their tune 'Wanted Dead or Alive' is a straight up banger. Still a favorite 80s group of mine.
I am at 51-year-old tatted nana of 5! it’s really cool to watch young people really learn about music!
Girl, this is how we keep the music alive and bridge the generation gaps and make these kids grow up to be people we want to hang out with!
Same! Just turned 53! I miss the 80s man!!
Me too ❤
@@ConspiracySmurf you’ve nailed it!
@@Rayray-kj9ccyeah, me too! I'm 52 and what I would give for it to be 1986 again!
The genius of the Rock era was "normal" for those of us born in the mid 50's through the mid 60's. You are helping us rediscover that genius and joy and awe. Thank you!
You hit the nail on the head. Actual musicians playing actual music. This was even more excited when you saw these songs performed live.

Bon Jovi is one of my all time favs. His heart is as big as his hair was back then. He does so many things to give back.
Growing up in the 80’s with this kind of music was awesome. So many memories.
Music is the best time machine!
Best album Slippery when Wet❤
I'm a little hillbilly granny from a small mountain town in california. I love your shows, and think you are adorable. I'm so glad you enjoy our music. Thank you for sharing with us.

That “thing” is called a talk box. You mouth the notes into a tube while noting the guitar. Great reaction!!

Wanted Dead or Alive, It's My Life and just Jon Bon Jovi, Blaze of Glory
After all these years , this song is still popular.
This was the "stay strong baby" anthem for hard rock couples living together and working factory jobs, this track kept the dreams alive when times got tough, all you had was each other and fire in ya blood. That's how I remember it.🤘🙏🎸

I think what made guitar solos great back in the day is the music that surrounded it.
I saw them in concert at least 10 times!! They were definitely THE best hair band of the 80's!!
The smile on your face says it all!!! Bon Jovi rocks.
***BAD MEDICINE*** was another big one. I can name ten more big ones. You have to do more!
Wanted Dead or Alive HAS to be next. Their best song.
These guys were the absolute hottest band on the planet for about 2 years after this album came out.
Thank you so much. Bon Jovi. Motley Crue. Metallica. Def Leopard. Some of my favorites.
Find the top 25 bands and then find their best of albums and spend a day with each one and then you will be on your way. :)
A finalist for Best Rock Song of the 80s.
Hell yeah MB!!!! I love seeing you rock out to good music. I think even rappers & country folk love some Bon Jovi, you just can't go wrong with that kind of energy & sound.
There are soooooo many great bands from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, and so little time to react to them all!! Keep on rocking it Bro!

They go from the super perms you see here to regular haircuts and flannel shirts in the 90s. It's hilarious.
Just four blue-collar kids from New Jersey.
When their first album "Slippery When Wet" hit, they were in the middle of a tour, opening for other - mostly much Heavier - bands. Their Manager actually pulled them off the tour, chartered them a flight to meet him, and as they got off the plane - so the story goes - met them on the tarmac with envelopes and another four guys in suits, and said "Here. These are your first cheques from the album, and THESE are your Personal Accountants."
They left almost immediately thereafter to headline their OWN tour, and ruled 80s Rock from that moment forward.
They put on a great show. Really talented group of guys.
Here before the bots. Love me some 80s hair metal! Thanks for the upload!🎉
Been waiting for you to drop some Bon Jovi! Love it. Jon's voice is incredible, but ... Ritchie Sambora (guitar) is criminally underrated. Wanted Dead or Alive and Bed of Roses are absolute classics, but ... HREE Bon Jovi songs have more than 1bn views each, Livin on a Prayer, Always. Would recommend the other two for sure. Keep up the epic content. Love it.
This was my theme song at the beginning of a marriage in 1986. Their song It's My Life was there for me 20yrs later at the end of the marriage. Bon Jovi has played a role in my life. Not sure I would have had the guts to leave without the perspective I gained from It's My Life.
***WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE*** the theme from Young Guns is a must! He was on all our bedroom walls...he was a bad boy with a cute grin and just in the past month he saved a lady from jumping off a bridge, there's a video.
It was Blaze Of Glory written for Young Guns 2
They wanted, Wanted Dead Or Alive, but Jon wanted to write another one, which was Blaze Of Glory
Love all Bon Jovi songs. 🙂
@@carolynmorrissey1630 Yep right, I got to typing too quick and didn't name the song, I was trying to give one or two titles per comment but I got crazy and fired off at least 6 or 7.
Great to see young people open up their minds to more and more genres. There is so much great music out there.
John Bon Jovi does a lot of humanitarian work.He was 1 of the first in my book to give back. 😊
Awwww.. Sweet Caroline! I love it... it was so fun to sing to when they played it at Fenway Park before a baseball game.. But even better, I got to see Neil sing it in person... its sooo fun! Maybe you can try another Neil Diamond song.. then ease in.. Yes, more Bon Jovi, please.. Have you reacted to Guns and Roses?
Glad you're expanding your music experience!
The instrument is called a Talk Box. Plastic pipe takes sound from usually a keyboard to mouth where the it is manipulated using voice before output through a microphone.
Awesome reaction, and imho a first-time reaction. The chorus is so ubiquitous you have to be living under a rock not to have heard it, but listening to it start to finish is a totally different thing. Going forward you'll undoubtedly react to other songs where you've heard the chorus, but don't be so quick to say they're not first-time reactions. I was 16 when this came out, and even though hair bands weren't my thing I liked this song. People poked a little fun at hair bands even back then, but Bon Jovi was always taken seriously because they're talented musicians and Jon Bon Jovi can really sing. And as others have commented, he's a decent human being--even recently talked a woman off a bridge in Nashville. If it helps to contextualize him a bit, his son just married Millie Bobby Brown a few days ago. Keep 'em coming! "You Give Love a Bad Name" would be a great one to check out next.
Next banger of theirs: You Give Love a Bad Name!
Yes!!!👍
Yup!
Oh yeah, never apologize for replaying this song
I was never a huge fan, but this was hands down the best concert i saw. The crowd knew every word, and it was a 2 hour endorphin rush. I dropped my paycheck somewhere at the concert and it was still top 3 concerts i attended
Ahhhhhh the talk box and incredible guitar!! Please react to Peter Framton live on the midnight special. 1975. Do you feel like we do. You will love it. Thanks for the smiles 💙🎶🕊
YES!
Bon Jovi and Journey were everything when I was in High School! Love your reactions!!!
My first concert. I was 16 and got tickets for my birthday. Love Bon Jovi! Me and my best friend. We sang our hearts out to them!
Bon Jovi has a deep catalogue! 'Wanted Dead or Alive', 'Lay Your Hands on Me', 'You Give Love a Bad Name', 'Bad Medicine' etc. Great band.
Great reaction/deep listen. Glad you are continuing to enjoy your music journey.
Bon Jovi has had some real amazing songs, just brill. When Richie sambora was with them they were fab vocalists they just suited each other rock gods together. ❤❤❤
The Slippery When Wet and New Jersey albums are just full of classic 80s pop rock
Don't sweat the 22+ years you think you could have been listening to rock. Sure, you COULD have, but you likely would not have appreciated it nearly as much as you are now. You needed that past as a hip hop fan to influence you and your taste in music. You are being introduced to GREAT music at just the right time jn your personal journey to really LISTEN to it and yearn to take it all in. You have heard bits and pieces of lots of these great songs before, but dud nit appreciate them then because itcwasnxt the right time for you to. Now is your time to HEAR, LOVE, and LEARN ABOUT truly great music of so many types. Keep up the great work!! You are slaying it. 🤘🏼❤
Oh wow, brings back lots of memories! Great song and they have much more. I personally think they are underrated!
Your growth in music is great. Us older folks were so privy to so much great music in our young years that have lived the test of time.
It makes me smile that even though MollyBoy is now a rich and famous RUclipsr with his own successful channel, he still says, "Sorry" to us little people for pausing or rewinding 😘
We actually LOVE the rewinds!!!
"Wizard on a chair", "Lizard and a bear", "Lemon and a pear", "Vivid underwear..." etc, etc. My friends and I used to try to crack each other up when this song first came out by coming up with different lyrics.
Haha, funny😂
Hey MB, Bon Jovi was so huge because of the girls. The ladies crushed on John and Ritchie. FYI - the effects is a guitar talk box also known as voice box, mouth wawa, or robotic voice.
Yes, the girls loved him because he seemed "sweet". :)
@@ConspiracySmurf They actually thought he was hot with a nice butt 😂
My very first concert was Bon Jovi and Cinderella when I was 11. I seen them again when I was 18.
If you want to do more Bon Jovi, "Wanted, Dead or Alive".
Also, for someone who digs amazing guitarists, it's also time you did more Dire Straits with Mark Knopfler ('Telegraph Road' and 'Once Upon a Time in the West', both from Alchemy Live; the official video for 'Lady Writer'; also 'Private Investigation', 'You and Your Friend' and 'Brothers in Arms' from On the Night).
Something most people don't know about Jon Bon Jovi...he owns a restaurant in NJ...a really nice place...and the food is charged at whatever you can afford to pay, or free, if you are homeless. He can often be found washing dishes at this restaurant. He's a stand up guy. We need more people like Jon.
