Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora MTV 1989

[galaga15]

You can tell they love making music together, it's like they feed off of each other. Awesome

[cruehead355]

this was the only time i enjoyed richie's guitar play

[Carribeth1205]

This was the beginning of the "unplugged" concept. I love how young they are. Hubby and I have lived without a safety net for 25 years now so this is my song for us. Thanks guys.  Love you.

[DIMITRAAAx]

oh myyyy, Richie's playing is magical <3

[Tolis119]

ΑΜΑΖΙΝG HAIR OF JON

[chabadoogi]

Gawd sing it high, hard, and right for Living on a PRayer, that was just to get by.

[bamabelle327]

I miss the MTV I grew up with...

[Brain245able]

@bamabelle327 Well , I for one , hate the MTV i grew up with.

And of course by that i mean i was born in the wrong fucking decade (2000)

But , at least we have memories.

[bamabelle327]

@Brain245able lol, I'll definitely agree with you, bud. I'm only -almost- 24, but I have vivid memories of old school music videos and celebrities giving funny public service announcements.  MTV introduced 3-year old me to Kurt Cobain. They introduced 20-year old me to Jersey Shore. I think that sums it up.

[willeagno2006]

puta que paril cara sou fa do bon jovi a anos nao tinha visto isso ainda

os caras sao fodasticos

[MrsZany]

.This surely has to be the most iconic MTV VMA video of all time!! A performance about real music and musicians playing from the soul. Strip the glitz, glamour and hype that suffocate the performances of today. This is raw talent at its very best. Jon and Ritchie owned the stage and should be crowned for starting what later became the MTV Unplugged series following this performance " so keep your pseudo punk, hip hop, pop rock junk and your digital dj..." I say!!

[80slover93]

[so90909090]

I fucking love this ♥

old MTV was kinda good,,, now is just shit

[dr00p5]

[ioel83]

[vivijud]

THAT'S WHY THEY DESERVE THE GLOBAL ICON ACCOLADE!!!!

[sommma200]

Richie and Jon have a good voice, but together they are unforgettable

[kboleen]

Man , this version really captured it. It still makes the hair on my neck stand up.

[DeckHeaded]

This was a great performance! The only other performance at the VMA's that can compare to this is Queensryche's acoustic performance of Silent Lucidity at the 1991 VMA's.

[Tolis119]

Loving  song

[Yair2794]

0.00 - 7.38 EPIC

[emwat88]

PERFECT COUPLE!!!

[flame9902]

best performace ever to be on mtv, not like all this gay shit they have today

[led96zeppelin]

@flame9902 oh yeah,that paramore or gay stuff like kudai or katy perry, that's shit

[08xlisa]

@flame9902 look at mj's performance, and change your mind

[AlwaysSomething]

@flame9902 This was the "gay shit" back then. They were considered a hair band and therefore GLAM. Although, if you were someone who appreciated music, you realized they actually were talented musicians with great iconic songs. People didn't want to admit to being closet Bon Jovi fans. Besides GLAM is (Gay L.A. Music) and certainly they are not from L.A. Great music transcends genre and time. Great performance period!

[Johnzar1996]

who can play the guitar beter than richie sambora

[rudedawg675]

Truly one of the coolest performances ever.

[barongm77]
