JBJ and he was more respectful to fans

Oh please don't mention Christmas!

But JBJ looked so sexy in the video of Please Come Home For Christmas.

Thinking about that can piss you off twice as much.

Plus Cindy Crawford was in it looking fit too.

Does anyone know if she's on MN?

Lentilcakes · 18/07/2026 20:15

Jon

What are you bothered about? Hydrangeas?

Show quote history

Well yes actually.
I love hydrangeas.
I met a woman last week who doesn't actually like hydrangeas and was shocked. What is not to like? I know my sister in law doesn't like them but I thought was just her being her.

I liked Jon, when I was 15. Never saw anything in Axl Rose, or Slash. You couldn’t see what Slash looked like anyway.

Axl 😍 sexy as fuck. And less hairy.

When I was 13 or 14 how nice looking rock stars looked really mattered to me.
I can't understand actual adult women bothering about this.

And as these guys are now in their 60s they would need to be pretty pathetic specimens to think their worth really depended on adulation of their looks.

This is like Sophie’s Choice. I want to be the filling in that particular sandwich. 😂

One of them is going to be a bit gutted then at coming second.

Sex on a stick.

(I've always had a thing for floppy blonde hair thanks to River Phoenix and JBJ).

Oh sorry video doesn't work.

Was a youtube link to him titled Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses (Acoustic) Best Quality

BoarBrush · 18/07/2026 20:00

Bon Jovi absolutely. He still looks fairly good now

stepupp · 18/07/2026 19:58

I never thought either of them were very good looking.

Then JBJ cut his hair and the world literally stopped turning.

I"m not quite sure what you mean.

But yes im busy catching up on MN after a quite busy gardening day.

I just feel the last thing guys who already think they are God's gift to women need is a group of sycophants pandering to their egos by debatung how nice looking they are.

How are Tommy and Gina these days?

Show quote history

Gina’s still working the diner all day. Tommy wants his six string outta hock, but the union’s still on strike. But they got each other and that’s a lot…

MadeForThis · 18/07/2026 19:45

Bon jovi.

MySneakyLion · 18/07/2026 19:39

JBJ definitely more handsome. Then and now.

There was a dirty bad boy thing about Axel though …

Cel77 · 18/07/2026 19:35

Jon Bon Jovi. Axel was fine too though.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 18/07/2026 19:26

Jon bovi jovi definitely

ZanyMaker · 18/07/2026 19:14

Jon - by far!!

MondeoFan · 18/07/2026 19:13

Jon without a doubt

Dearg · 18/07/2026 19:12

Young Axl looks like my first boyfriend in school. I lusted after him for weeks 😍 But it didn’t last. We had nothing to talk about, and snogging in the playground was very frowned upon. Sigh .

PrettyLittleRose · 18/07/2026 19:10

JonBonJ · 18/07/2026 18:54

Hi all. Jon here. Yeah, me and Ax are always on Mumsnet. Of course.

I'm always on the religious threads about praying.
Axl is obviously on the gardening threads 😂 😂. Maybe AnonymityAnonymity could give him some advice on his roses 🌹

OMG Hi! I love your work!!!! 😆 😘
