I took my daughter to a Bon Jovi concert a few years ago. We had nosebleed seats, and my daughter was saying, "It's ok Mom, I'm good here." I said no, we're going to SEE the band and make a memory! I ran to the ticket line, paid an extra $600 to get better seats. The ushers took me and my daughter all the way down to the front of the stage, and John was right in front of us! The smile and excitement on my daughter's face was worth that extra $600! Money comes and goes, but that memory will stay forever!
Andrea R. Bordón -wasn’t Richie married with Heather locklear ( the lady from Dallas or Dynasty ). Richie and Bon are great musicians and a song writers
Bon Jovi gets me so pumped. Jon Bon Jovi has a restaurant that serves the homeless for free and he donated money to a family who's young daughter died mysteriously.
Dude your smile is literally contagious. Before I even hit play I seen that big smile. Ladies must love you! I grew up with this long hair stuff in the 80s. I don't prefer it now but it does bring back a bit of nostalgia
I was (again) thinking the same. Jovaughn's joy is so pure that it's actually good for my soul to watch his videos with him discovering songs that I highly resonate with as well ❤️
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive (Official Music Video) ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES ! Thanks for doing a Bon Jovi tune. Saw them in person in the 80's, and they put on the best live concerts (them, Pink Floyd, and Bob Seger all did back then
@@robynhealy4535 I've been to JBJ Soul Kitchen in Redbank, NJ. It isn't a soup kitchen, it's really a restaurant where everyone sits together and you can eat there and pay what you can. If you can't pay, that's ok too. He is awesome!
I am a 20 year who loves classic rock and old music which i have my dad to thank for. Growing up the likes of bon Jovi, guns n roses, acdc, iron maiden etc etc were constantly played in the car or around the house and still are. 😀
Livin’ on a Prayer was released as a single in support of its parent album Slippery When Wet. The song and the album itself was released in 1986. Livin’ on a Prayer features guitar work from Richie Sambora and those sounds you’re hearing where it sounds like the guitar is saying, “wa, wa, wa,” the guitar is plugged into a talk box. The talk box was used by tons of people and songs. Joe Walsh used it for Rocky Mountain Way Bon Jovi used it for Livin’ on a Prayer and It’s My Life Peter Frampton was a frequent user of the talk box The Eagles used the talk box for a song called Those Shoes Earth, Wind and Fire used it for Let’s Groove.
I was on my way to Bon Jovi when my friends and I were in a head in on. We never made it to say the least but we did all survive the accident. That is what you call living on a wing and a prayer . Still love the Man and his band . Thank you so much for playing this 😉
Saw them back in the 80s!Love them!You are opening the door to 80s hair metal/rock..this is an Awesome path!I was a rocker chick for sure during this time frame!lol
When I was in primary/grade school, all the boys listened to Bon Jovi and all the girls listened to NKOTB :) This was right around the revolution in 89 so it was all new and exciting. As I grew a little older I started to appreciate Bon Jovi and their music a lot more. Bed of Roses, It's my life and Blaze of Glory are one of my favorites as well.
I still think this is one their best , can't praise it enough , I loved to dance to this , your turn Jay, go on you know you so want to , fantastic reaction keep it up 😉.
I remember how FUN a Bon Jovi concert was to go to!! SO upbeat and positive! I screamed and sang so much I'd lose my voice! Good times!! Evem wrote a little poem about it. I miss that. More More Bon Jovi please!? Prayer was a HUGE hit for them. It was everywhere! Thanks J! Take Care!✌❤🎶😁
so glad you discovered Van Halen and Bon Jovi, loved the reactions. now you're ready for Def Leppard. I suggest going in order with two songs, Rock of Ages (1983) and Pour Some Sugar On Me (1987). the official vids are the best versions. in between those two songs their drummer lost his left arm when he wrecked his Corvette. the band went dark for a couple years while he recovered and he is still their drummer today (his legs do a lot of his drumming).
Jovaughn, happy you're having fun listening, to this music but you're really still at the start, there's loads of bands left for you to discover. And, yes these boys are pumping it out.
This was when MTV was really the best and almost the only way for us to get to see what our music idols looked like and moved and sounded live! I would turn it on and dance around with them until the station went off late at night! They didn't stay on 24/7 back then. Bon Jovi was one of my first main crushes! After Elvis and The Beatles and Adam Cartwright on Bonanza! Oh the memories! Thanks for this so much! 🎶🤗🎧🎶👍
One of my all time faves - also check out thir songs: Blaze of Glory, Always, Runaway, Bed of Roses, It's My Life, I'll be There For You - I could keep listing but i'll stop here!
Love Bon Jovi and this song! He happens to be a good person, gives a lot to charities, still married to his high school sweetheart, good dad. An ace musician and a really good person! You did your A+ reaction!
I like that you rewound after Richie's guitar solo at 3:17 - it's just after Jon sings "Tommy put his six-string in hock. Now he's holding in...when he used to make it talk so tough.....weooooughwhoooo....mmm...it's rough...wooooowdunooodunohhh..."
I remember walking on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and seeing Bon Jovi posters. Hair for days and the pose. He was a pin up boy for sure. But he could also play and sing. Great talent.
I love this song and now I remember who sang it lol. They are a marvellous band and I remember my baby son rocking to this, he has an interest in different music now but for a few years he liked fast music he could rock to. The harmonies are good too and they could certainly play their instruments. When you smile I smile too and its wonderful just watching you. God bless you all, love and hugs and peace to you all Mary-Ellen UK
Love love this song, it’s an absolute banger! If I ever went on X Factor (I wouldn’t), this’d be my audition song... I wouldn’t reach the high notes, but I’d belt it out regardless!
You are such an 80' s Rock kind of guy. Hahaha Hair Bands, baby!! IMAGINE being a teenager jamming the heck out of these tunes!! We were starving for it!! You should also check out the band Poison, too, if you haven't. ☺
Oh lordy. I'm flashin back. Saw this flying show on a Friday, went back to arena on Saturday to get tix for Sunday. This time we got seats near where he landed. I had no voice for days!!😍😍 *YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME *BAD MEDICINE
Jon has some good music. Good human being who does some real good for people. Sure its weird walking in his restaurant and see him washing dishes. Love this song. Thanks.
So glad to have grown up in the 70/80s. The best music EVER! Jon Bonjovi also has 2 restaurants in Jersey called JBJ Soul Kitchen. You can either pay it forward with a donation or work an hour to pay for your meal. 💯
I absolutely love this song. A few years ago I actually got up in front of my church and sang it. You really should listen to anything by the band "Stryper". They were a fantastic rock/gospel band back in the day.
Excellent break down of what your thoughts are regarding this song. You described his voice the feeling you got after listening to this classic song. This song has basically become an anthem. Anyone that appreciates rock knows the words to this song. Great reaction !
Slippery when wet sold 28 million copies.It was their best album.It had a lot of hits on it.Without love I'd die for you.It is just one of my favorites.Thanks😄
My Dad’s favorite song by Bon Jovi! My dad is 76! I was able to see Bon Jovi when they just started with their hit “(She’s a) Little Runaway. You should really react to Billy Squire, an amazing underrated musician and guitarist. Start with “The Stroke”. Thanks Jay for all you do!
This song in the UK has been voted the best song of the 80’s many times over. The reason being it’s a timeless classic. Their song ‘Always’ and ‘Bed of roses’ were also massive hits in that decade, check them out. 80’s and 90’s had the best music - fact!
Amazing reaction! I had forgotten this song from my teenage years. One of the best classic rock bands. Greetings from Austria. You made me smile, not an easy thing to do! Keep going.
YAASSS BON JOVI!! I completely idolised this awesome band from childhood and now I'm 40 lol. Listen to Born To Be My Baby and Blood On Blood. Both songs from the late 80's and kinda underrated gems. Saying that though, there is a serious multitude of their songs you could listen to and wouldn't be disappointed. Legendary band.
Glad you finally got to this classic. I knew you'll feel the beat with this one. Keep on rocking these 80s hits. It's fantastic that you have a great appreciation for the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

It blows my mind that I am old enough to hear people say, " I didnt know that Bon Jovi was a band." LOL Love it
I work in a supermarket where kids don’t remember Michael Jordan playing basketball Blows my mind where time goes. 🙈
So true...it's more scary to know, it's that long ago! Yikes
It is a great feeling being a teenager in the eighties. We can tell people I remember when this song first came out.
Becky Atwood it blows my mind that I'm old enough to say that was the music my kids listened to when they were growing up! 😂😂😂
I know right...me too
I took my daughter to a Bon Jovi concert a few years ago. We had nosebleed seats, and my daughter was saying, "It's ok Mom, I'm good here." I said no, we're going to SEE the band and make a memory!

1. Always
2. You Give Love A Bad Name
3. It's My Life
4. I'll Be There For You
5. Never Say Goodbye
Agree 💯💯💯 bed of roses is my favourite thou ❤👍👌😎🥰
Runaway, Bad Medicine
Wanted dead or alive
Living in Sin, In These Arms \m/ ( *o* )
Even though there is no official video out yet: American Reckoning
Richie Sambora, the guitarist, uses the talk box with which he achieves those guitar-like sound effects
Andrea R. Bordón -wasn’t Richie married with Heather locklear ( the lady from Dallas or Dynasty ). Richie and Bon are great musicians and a song writers
@@gocomplexsmith72 yes Richie was married to Heather Locklear but not anymore.
The 80s had the best anthom songs
"Is it a rock band?" I am so old.
Bon Jovi gets me so pumped. Jon Bon Jovi has a restaurant that serves the homeless for free and he donated money to a family who's young daughter died mysteriously.
Oh you have to hear Def Leppard ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’
He’s done it now! I’ve just come here from that video!
I still die every time I hear that song. 🤍
Dude your smile is literally contagious. Before I even hit play I seen that big smile. Ladies must love you! I grew up with this long hair stuff in the 80s. I don't prefer it now but it does bring back a bit of nostalgia
really love that smile😀
I was (again) thinking the same. Jovaughn's joy is so pure that it's actually good for my soul to watch his videos with him discovering songs that I highly resonate with as well ❤️
@@PsychoGallagher , for me too! I didn't realize it until I read these comments. He has such a freshness to him.
"Ladies must love you". LOL. Even my straight, male sweetie has a crush on J. How can you not!?!
His smile is beautiful and contagious.
I just love how you like everything. Your energy is keeping me smiling in these dark ass times...
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive (Official Music Video) ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES ! Thanks for doing a Bon Jovi tune. Saw them in person in the 80's, and they put on the best live concerts (them, Pink Floyd, and Bob Seger all did back then
I saw them 10 years ago in the uk it was immense!
"Wanted, Dead or Alive" and "You Give Love A Bad Name." 👍👍
@mysticpanther69 I bet Bob Seger was amazing!
@@whitelighttrainwreck3021 BIGTIME !! I've seen him about 9 times live. I would go every time he came to town or close by.
I’ve seen Bon Jovi twice in concert...great entertainers & Jon Bon Jovi is an amazing humanitarian ❤️
I saw them twice during the 90's. They played 3 hour shows! An amazing band, but not the same since Richie left :(
Yes Bon Jovi does some amazing charity work, even works in his own soup kitchen for the poor.
@@robynhealy4535 I've been to JBJ Soul Kitchen in Redbank, NJ. It isn't a soup kitchen, it's really a restaurant where everyone sits together and you can eat there and pay what you can. If you can't pay, that's ok too. He is awesome!
Richie Sambora is the man! He’s lead guitar, high harmonies, and the cool talk box part at the beginning.
It’s crazy to see someone just being introduced to a band or song I’ve listened to my whole life. I love it
You make me giggle at how much you enjoy this really old music and we grew up with it and this is the first time you’ve heard this. So refreshing
Him " Is this A Rock Band?"
Me : Can't catch my breath on the floor dying from laughter.
Oh God !! I'm crying now.
For me, watching you discover the music I have loved since i was a kid is pure joy! Keep rockin' my friend.
All his songs are full of energy. "IT'S MY LIFE"
Try "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi next.
Yes! Official video!
Yeah...my favorite of theirs.
My favorite too!
Yessss!!!! 💯
Yea!
I am a 20 year who loves classic rock and old music which i have my dad to thank for. Growing up the likes of bon Jovi, guns n roses, acdc, iron maiden etc etc were constantly played in the car or around the house and still are. 😀
One of the best and ultimate HAIR bands Of the 80’s love Jon and Richie
Livin’ on a Prayer was released as a single in support of its parent album Slippery When Wet.
The song and the album itself was released in 1986.
Livin’ on a Prayer features guitar work from Richie Sambora and those sounds you’re hearing where it sounds like the guitar is saying, “wa, wa, wa,” the guitar is plugged into a talk box.
The talk box was used by tons of people and songs.
Joe Walsh used it for Rocky Mountain Way
Bon Jovi used it for Livin’ on a Prayer and It’s My Life
Peter Frampton was a frequent user of the talk box
The Eagles used the talk box for a song called Those Shoes
Earth, Wind and Fire used it for Let’s Groove.
I was on my way to Bon Jovi when my friends and I were in a head in on. We never made it to say the least but we did all survive the accident. That is what you call living on a wing and a prayer . Still love the Man and his band . Thank you so much for playing this 😉
Gotta love 80s rock! My 25 and 22 year old girls love it too!!🥰
Would you do “Blaze of Glory” next. Love this band♥️
That was a solo hit though! Still an epic song, can't lie.
Yeah!!..nice!!✌💛🤘
Saw them back in the 80s!Love them!You are opening the door to 80s hair metal/rock..this is an Awesome path!I was a rocker chick for sure during this time frame!lol
Yea I use to wear my hair just like that a nasty perm and a metric ton of hair mousse oh my the good old days
Would've loved to live in that era, feel like I was born in the wrong era
We all did lol. We murdered the ozone layer with hairspray.
Omg the hairspray we used 😁
Seen this tour back in the day. They were always fantastic live. Lots of energy and fun.
Bon Jovi was the first rock concert i went to ❤ It's so fun watching people experience them for the first time 👏
When I was in primary/grade school, all the boys listened to Bon Jovi and all the girls listened to NKOTB :) This was right around the revolution in 89 so it was all new and exciting. As I grew a little older I started to appreciate Bon Jovi and their music a lot more.
Bed of Roses, It's my life and Blaze of Glory are one of my favorites as well.
I love that you are discovering Bon Jovi. Seriously you can react to anything Bon Jovi and I'd tune in... and that guitar genius is Richie Sambora.
Bon Job has some great songs. Check out “Bad Medicine.”
This was the first concert I ever saw. It was mind blowing. I was 17 and watching this video brings me back to that absolutely awesome concert.
Loved it! Thank you for your reaction ❤️😃👍✌️🌼
Seen them live about 4 times. Always an amazing show. Richie is the star for me.
I still think this is one their best , can't praise it enough , I loved to dance to this , your turn Jay, go on you know you so want to , fantastic reaction keep it up 😉.
I remember how FUN a Bon Jovi concert was to go to!! SO upbeat and positive! I screamed and sang so much I'd lose my voice! Good times!! Evem wrote a little poem about it. I miss that.
More More Bon Jovi please!?
Prayer was a HUGE hit for them. It was everywhere!
Thanks J!
Take Care!✌❤🎶😁
They were brilliant live. I saw them at the old Wembley stadium in London. It was one of the greatest days of my life.
Wanted dead or alive is a good one!
Great straightforward melodic uplifting rock song, an 80s classic!
so glad you discovered Van Halen and Bon Jovi, loved the reactions. now you're ready for Def Leppard. I suggest going in order with two songs, Rock of Ages (1983) and Pour Some Sugar On Me (1987). the official vids are the best versions. in between those two songs their drummer lost his left arm when he wrecked his Corvette. the band went dark for a couple years while he recovered and he is still their drummer today (his legs do a lot of his drumming).
The hair, the leather... ❤️💫
You should react to wanted dead or alive. You’ll love it!
Classic 80’s rock! ❤️ Saw Bon Jovi live in 1988. So much fun!!!
They got a huge catalog. I like "never say goodbye" and "living in sin"
Jovaughn, happy you're having fun listening, to this music but you're really still at the start, there's loads of bands left for you to discover. And, yes these boys are pumping it out.

Love love this song, it’s an absolute banger! If I ever went on X Factor (I wouldn’t), this’d be my audition song... I wouldn’t reach the high notes, but I’d belt it out regardless!
What a wholesome response to these songs I grew up listening to! Love your reactions! These songs are timeless.
I remember seeing this music video when I was 14 and instantly fell in love with Jon Bon Jovi ❤ This will forever be a rock anthem party song!
Love this band! Seen them back in 88' and it was fantastic!!! And he's still Rocking!
One of the biggest best
Top touring band whenever they go
Over 150 million records sold
Band together 40 years
Remarkable
And yes, they put on an awesome show! Saw this tour in Lakeland, Florida in '86 at 20 years old! Yes, I'm that old! 🤣
Great song, i also love them singing Dry County. It's a real epic.
You are such an 80' s Rock kind of guy. Hahaha Hair Bands, baby!! IMAGINE being a teenager jamming the heck out of these tunes!! We were starving for it!! You should also check out the band Poison, too, if you haven't. ☺
Bon Jovi Wanted Dead Or Alive next!!!
I saw Bon Jovi live in concert 10 years ago it was amazing. This was my favorite performance of theirs!
Great Rock bands are the ones that make you smile and get that good energy. 🌷
I love how open you are to try all kinds of music, from opera, to eighties hair bands to modern. Keep it up man!
Bon Jovi was one of the first Hairbands. She Don't Know Me is my favorite from them.
The key change towards the end makes my soul explode.
Oh lordy. I'm flashin back. Saw this flying show on a Friday, went back to arena on Saturday to get tix for Sunday. This time we got seats near where he landed. I had no voice for days!!😍😍 *YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
*BAD MEDICINE
I love Bon Jovi!! They have so many great songs!! You have to continue reacting to them!
Jon has some good music. Good human being who does some real good for people. Sure its weird walking in his restaurant and see him washing dishes. Love this song. Thanks.
When Jon says “You live for the fight when that’s all that you got” gives me chills every time💯💯💯
I remember them playing this when I would go rollerskating when I was a young pup
Great great group 🌟🌟🥰🌟🥰🌟
I grew up on this music.Love the 80's.
One of my favorite bands and definitely my favorite song! I love that you love it!!
So glad to have grown up in the 70/80s. The best music EVER! Jon Bonjovi also has 2 restaurants in Jersey called JBJ Soul Kitchen. You can either pay it forward with a donation or work an hour to pay for your meal. 💯
I absolutely love this song. A few years ago I actually got up in front of my church and sang it. You really should listen to anything by the band "Stryper". They were a fantastic rock/gospel band back in the day.
Alwayyyyys loved this tune & John Bon Jovi, but reallyyyyyy enjoyed ur reaction to it ! Haaaaaa 🤣
I love your enthusiasm, and seeing the joy on your face as you listen brings a smile to mine. ❤️
Another band I saw live in the '80's. So many good memories.
I remember this was always a hit at the disco lol I'm showing my age now lol
Right out of New Jersey. This was a huge hit everywhere. This is their signature tune.
If you watched the show "Everybody Hates Chris" this song is in the end of the final episode.
Excellent break down of what your thoughts are regarding this song. You described his voice the feeling you got after listening to this classic song. This song has basically become an anthem. Anyone that appreciates rock knows the words to this song. Great reaction !
Slippery when wet sold 28 million copies.It was their best album.It had a lot of hits on it.Without love I'd die for you.It is just one of my favorites.Thanks😄
My Dad’s favorite song by Bon Jovi! My dad is 76! I was able to see Bon Jovi when they just started with their hit “(She’s a) Little Runaway. You should really react to Billy Squire, an amazing underrated musician and guitarist. Start with “The Stroke”. Thanks Jay for all you do!

Amazing reaction! I had forgotten this song from my teenage years. One of the best classic rock bands. Greetings from Austria. You made me smile, not an easy thing to do! Keep going.
This guys know how to rock a concert! They sound so good live and are sooo generous. They are on time and the show was about 3 hours long!
DANG!! You make me smile. I enjoy how you enjoy the songs and music!!
YAASSS BON JOVI!! I completely idolised this awesome band from childhood and now I'm 40 lol. Listen to Born To Be My Baby and Blood On Blood. Both songs from the late 80's and kinda underrated gems. Saying that though, there is a serious multitude of their songs you could listen to and wouldn't be disappointed. Legendary band.
Love your reaction, great pick. This song is so hype, they have so many hits. Awesome band.
Glad you finally got to this classic. I knew you'll feel the beat with this one. Keep on rocking these 80s hits. It's fantastic that you have a great appreciation for the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
I hear this song every time i go to Dodger's stadium. they play this song during matches. now i know the singer and the name of song.
