I heard he's done a Xmas single! Not listened yet though, anyone else?
Livin on a prayer for me. 😍
Only seen him live once, about ten years ago in MCR, was disappointing as they didn't do any of their original big hits. Still good though

Oh?? That's very interesting, thanks for the update! I mean in my minds ear/eye can it top "Please come home for Christmas"? 🔥

Also that's a downer that they didn't play all the big hits at the gig you were at, I'm glad you still had a graet night but that would have really pissed me off

I think my user name gives away the fact that I'm a big fan.

I love Bon Jovi.
I remember buying Slippery when wet at 14. Though it's always been Richie for me. Gorgeous man

Still a bit of a looker eh?

Neversaygoodbye · 22/11/2023 07:35

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.

Has to be Always. Saw him I think around 2000/2001 in Cardiff.

His solo album was really underrated.

Jon's? Do you mean Blaze of Glory? Ritchie Sambora did a great one too. Stranger in this town.

& many men of a certain era... but then you have Bruce Springsteen who hasn't (unless I'm very much mistaken?)

Same goes for many male music stars. The Beatles were awful to their partners, for example. And awful to many ‘groupies’. I agree though, it puts you off them as future husbands 😉

While I think he is a great singer let's not kid ourselves he was devoted to his wife he had a string of affairs when younger he admitted the only reason they are still together is because she was very understanding as he put it .honest interview it was but probably lost respect .for him and felt sorry for his wife

You're absolutely correct, I read Nikki Sixx's memoir "The Heroin Diaries" years ago & he very indiscreetly mentioned JBJ in relation to one of many nights spent with the local, whereever they were playing, prostitutes/ groupies/ dancers on tour so yes his wife Dorothea certainly has been very "understanding" but obviously it's worked for them?

This live performance of bed of Roses is him at his absolute sexiest IMO (The thumbnail pic is NOT good though!). But he's literally singing about cheating on his wife so really not great husband material.

I didn’t know that! I thought he was one of the good guys…that has tarnished my view of him I’ll admit…where was the interview?

Around ‘92 for me, when he cut his hair. Loved Keep the Faith album. I didn’t manage to see them live until their last tour though.

Had people taking selfies with DH once at a Pub near a BJ gig we were going to. Hilarious. Wish he had his money x

My ex modelled his look on JBJ. We met in a rock club. He was stunningly gorgeous. Unsurprisingly he was very popular with women. Our DS is a looker too but doesn't have the self assurance that his father does.

That's gas! Actually JBJ's son is quite the looker but too young for me sadly.. he's engaged to that actress Millie Bobby Brown & seems like a nice enough chap

@SnapdragonToadflax A fan of pretty men with long hair? I think you and I are going to get on!

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 20/10/2023 14:48

That’s late Jon Bon Jovi I think.

Peak JBJ is the “Keep the Faith” album, and in particular the song Bed of Roses. That’s probably the time when he was most popular, I’d have said.

Although something earlier like “Living on a Prayer” is probably when he was at his best.
