Hmmmm tricky one. 'l'll be there for you' vid = phwoar, also rather partial to blaze of glory and of course the Keep the faith era. Yes I am old and he is my longest standing crush.
Love Richie and the band aren't the same without him but thought he looked like my nan in the doc.

Ha ha

Richie defo looks a bit pissed.

I think Jon should retire now. The music isn't what it was so don't ruin peoples memories by giving a rubbish concert when we've all seen him at his best

I'm up to #4 and yes, Richie Sambora isn't coming across well. Looks a bit odd too

I was wondering if anyone had posted on here about the documentary. I loved it and so much nostalgia for me! I was more of a fan in the 90s though. When you look back at the old footage, Jon and Ritchie really were stunning back in the 80s/90s. You can understand why they were so popular.

I did wonder though if the footage had been edited intentionally to show Ritchie as a bit of dick. He seemed to he half cut on the recent interviews. When they showed old clips of him and Jon together, they all seemed to be of Ritchie looking drunk and Jon with resting bitch face sitting in an interview together. I wonder if egos just got in the way. For all Jon came across as Mr Nice Guy in it, the fact that he refuses to stop even with all the problems with his voice, shows how driven he still is.

it's so nostalgic! Yes about Alec the creep... but also Richie kind of was, so what's that alla bout? (I loved him & Cher together)

We've watched 3 episodes.
It's fascinating. Ritchie is acting oddly though isn't he.
It was weird how Alec wasn't mentioned in the first 2 aside from one line about him being a nasty drunk
I was a massive fan in my youth so these documentary is making me nostalgic

I haven't been advertised this show, clearly they internet isn't that good with their algorithm advertising.

Currently watching 'luther' will have to make a Segway.

I'm also about to listen to several albums thanks to being reminded of this thread 🤷🏼‍♀️😆

I walked down the aisle to Bon Jovi's "You Had Me From Hello" - not only a lovely song but absolutely true for me and my DH.

Scorchio84 · 28/04/2024 00:06

Currently watching... not sure about all their hair?

Slippery When Wet is a core memory of my early adolescence but Blaze of Glory was around when I was first going to live gigs so this is peak for me. I had a lifesize poster I got out of a magazine from his Blaze of Glory vid so that is the peak look for me.

Totallybannanas · 27/04/2024 14:44

I think he looks good in every era. Even now i still would! I am only in E2 which was a bit emotional 😭. Music was so much better back then.

Has anyone watched the Bon Jovi story in Disney! Honestly he is so handsome 😍 wish I could go back to that era.

I just saw that advertised this morning! will definitely watch it…exciting!

Yes I am with you on this. We had corporate tickets about 10 years ago in UAE, he looks and sounds the same close up. I love that he really is a good guy, no skeletons in his closet

Waves at @Valerianandfoxglovesoup - we were at the same concert! Ours were not corporate tickets, and thus not close up, but still amazing.

Imreallytiredandanxioustoday · 24/11/2023 15:24

Seb Bach was beautiful. I loved him when I was a teenager.
The new singer with skid row is fantastic if anyone gets a chance to see them.

@Scorchio84 We also had "Thank you for loving me" at our wedding - I'm a sucker for a rock ballad.

I still have my suede fringed jacket bought from Carnaby street up in the loft but sadly seem to have parted ways with my denim jacket which had the group badges sewn on! Yep I'm that 50+ woman still dreaming of her teenage years and all the long haired rockers - Sebastian Bach, Joey Tempest but JBJ has aged beautifully!

Oh God, Sebastian Bach was beautiful. I am a sad old lady still in love with all the long haired lovelies of my youth. Paul Stanley, Nikki Six, Vince Neil.....
And now, I'm the saddo who has a massive crush on Dan Vasc, a metal vocalist on YouTube whose the same age as my oldest son😳

NooNakedJacuzziness · 22/11/2023 20:17

@Scorchio84 - some VERY tight trousers..

Scorchio84 · 22/11/2023 20:14

@NooNakedJacuzziness do I need to have a drink for this? 😆

@zurala A life sized poster?!!! Wow! I probably wouldn't have left my room 😍I loved Slippery too.. (again thanks to my sister) Sebastian Bach really did have an amazing voice though

I loved BJ when I was younger. If you want a laugh though look up the video for She Don't Know Me - soooo bad 😆

Sebastian wins for me because his voice is so incredible. But I had a life-size poster of Jon on my bedroom wall as a teenager. I'm the Slippery era.

Scorchio84 · 22/11/2023 19:41

@Neversaygoodbye this is getting better!!! My sister & her friends are the ones who got me totally into rock, they were a bit older & had all the posters, the merchandise, homemade or otherwise & I am thankful to all of them so much, what a glorious period of rock music!

My god sebastian Bach had beautiful hair & cheekbones!

Haha I've found my people! Life long fan, love Runaway but I think it's obvious which is my favourite song. Always was one of our wedding songs and my husband bought us golden circle tickets for Hyde Park 2003, it was amazing (not really his music but he thought they were great live). I'm really sad that his voice seems to have suffered.

Yes you have! That's sad about his voice, he always (pardon the pun!) had such a distinctive one..

I love that that was your wedding song, what a lovely memory
