Bon Jovi is an American rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Formed in 1983, Bon Jovi consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, former bassist Alec John Such, as well as current bassist Hugh McDonald.[6] The band's line-up has remained mostly static during their 26-year history, the only exception being the departure of Alec John Such in 1994, who was unofficially replaced by Hugh McDonald. The band have become known for writing several rock anthems, and achieved widespread recognition with their third album Slippery When Wet, released in 1986. Bon Jovi are well-known for songs including "Livin' on a Prayer", which has become their signature song, as well as "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Bad Medicine", "Keep the Faith", "Bed of Roses", "Always", "It's My Life" and "Have a Nice Day".

Oh cool. I love Bon Jovi.

They were on Jimmy Fallon recently.

Rainstorm Jenny

I love them too, my dad would play all their older songs on his guitar and I would sing along.

Melis

Oh fun! It's cool and how this is a bad that parents and their children can enjoy. My parents liked them, too.

My parents saw them in concert when I was little.

Awesome. I love Bon Jovi. Great music, great band, great guys, great fun.

You know, you really have to hand it to them. Rock and roll hair bands in the 80s were a dime a dozen, and most fell by the wayside and were washed up by the end of the decade. But Bon Jovi continued to be a success into the 90s and today still have #1 albums, hit songs, and sold out arena tours. That says a lot.

Melis

I think people just grew up with them. I think Jon said something like that when they were on Jimmy Fallon.

Barrybgb

Yeah, the fans have really stuck by them.

I got their "Cross Road" Greatest Hits CD from 1994. It's good, but they really need to put out a much more elaborate and extensive GH CD.

Melis

They are faithful, and that's always good.

Yeah, that's understandable. I think I have one of their CDs. I forgot which, but it has a mix of songs.

Rainstorm Jenny

I think the lead singer is hot especially with his 80s rock and roll hair too, looks sexy.

My favorite song besides Livin on a prayer would have to be Always. Just a great song.

Barrybgb

They went a little country here lately and that was a success too. They have some range!.

Jenny, Always is a good one. I can't help but pretend I'm air playing the guitar when the intro to Wanted Dead Or Alive kicks in. Lol.

Rainstorm Jenny

Wanted Dead or Alive reminds me of western movies for some odd reason. I love that song too.

Melis

That makes sense since that line was probably seen or used in westerns.

Rainstorm Jenny

Im not sure but I think they played it in a western movie. its a great song.



My dad was just jamming on his guitar to "Runaway"

Bon Jovi has some great songs.

Barrybgb

I don't recall it being used in a western, but "Blaze Of Glory" was used for Young Guns. Maybe that's what you are thinking?.
