He is gorgeous! I remember seeing him play in Bristol Ashton gate and he wore like a yellow, wet suit type outfit, sounds awful but when he came on to 'Keep the Faith' I nearly passed out

Dying here 😆I can totally relate

My 9yo is learning to sing Living on a Prayer in music classes at school. The Alexa has been playing it a lot when she comes home.

It’s the Slippery when wet album era for me, JBJ and Ritchie Sambora had all the hair😍

I loved Bon Jovi so much, he’s aged very well!

My sister & her friends absolutely introduced me to this era... & the whole unplugged he & Richie did at the MTV Awards

I've met him a couple of times and he's a lovely chap.

Oh my god I love this!!! What a relief & also lucky you! 😍

It's My Life JBJ is my favourite. Probably because that's when 14 and 15 year old Phos went to see him in concert (Crush and One Wild Night tours)

Show quote history

I was 13, and thought very weird by all my friends! I had all their stuff on cd!

Runnaway is my favourite song, followed closely by Never say Goodbye.

Oh god there's just so many good songs!

I was sad and disappointed when they kicked Ritchie out.

TheMurderousGoose · 02/10/2023 21:36

I'm not really a fan but he once told me he loved my accent so I've had a soft spot for him since.

ThePoshUns · 02/10/2023 21:32

Maybe @Popsicle42 , it was a while ago. He definitely gave a good show.

Pussinskool · 02/10/2023 20:45

'Always' for me. The music video, swoon!

Plus, the other two long haired dudes in it were pretty fit as well.

Long hair pretty boys were my weakness...

He's just 😍

or is this peak Jon Bon Jovi?

Yes - Living on a Prayer…

Favourite BJ song was Runaway (I’m old…), and it was all downhill from there IMO, but Jon is very, very, pretty, has a gorgeous voice and seems like an all round great guy. Just been re-watching the West Wing and had totally forgotten his cameo.

That's the album for me. JBJ by JBJ.
Summer before university 1984. Monsters of Rock at Donington.
Happy Days. ❤️

Was that the one after he’d torn his ACL and so was in a knee brace?

They came on insanely early and he was so obviously in pain but was still determined to put on a good show.

Saw them live on the These Days tour on the mid 90s. He is an absolutely beautiful man and close up he is unbelievable.

I think Always also deserves an honourable mention!

His voice on that song makes me go weak at the knees! Especially the first few lines ❤

AndAllOurYesterdays · 02/10/2023 20:27

His hair! His eyes! The smouldering.

Anyway, Livin on a Prayer for me

Popsicle42 · 02/10/2023 20:23

My longest standing crush! Fell in love with him during the Keep the Faith era. Was the first gig I’d ever gone to. These Days is probably my peak crush.

I managed to get onstage a couple of times and he really is as beautiful close up as you would think.

We got married in the same las vegas wedding chapel as him!

I enjoy his 'crush' era too 😀

MalcolmsMiddle · 02/10/2023 18:54

Big fan of a lot of their ballads, Bed of Roses a really good one.

MabelMoo23 · 02/10/2023 18:16

Love him. And I love that he’s absolutely devoted to his wife Dorothea as well
