Bon Jovi - Livin On A Prayer (Demo)

[christifreak12]

I want to shoot myself, in the ass, coz I like it <3

[batmayn123]

i love this version.. it has some honesty to it, dunno why

[SummernlightningUSA]

this proves that some songs sound better at a slower tempo.

[cfmagal]

Desmond Child,who helped Jon and Richie to write this song,recorded a different version for this song;only playing piano and singing it like a ballad.

[pachor2]

demo suck ass good for them they got a good producer able to fixed this messed

[Andryprayer]

Who is the singer here, Sambora o John ? ahah

Richie is a monster..

[itbejess]

The solo is so much better in the official version!

[DropDeadGaby]

Pretty Cool.

[TheCarrolltonHawks]

The only demo that I never really liked..

[sacreou]

better than the original o.O

[machucam]

la voz de richie en el coro es impresionante, sin embargo no competìa con la de jon, y estoy hablando de aquellos buenos tiempos cuando jon tenìa voz. bon jovi rocks.!!!!!!

[ezeiza69]

@machucam no, no podia competir, la voz de richie fue superior siempre, hacia lo q queria con la voz, pero mas impresionante son los coros limpios y cristalinos q podia hacer como en i´ll be there for you, o bed of roses, no se comparan ni un poco, la voz de richie es inimitable!

[ezeiza69]

@machucam y ojo! en el ultimo coro alto, del final, los gritos altos los hace jon! y richie le hace la respuesta de ese coro, y si lo pensas, richie siempre coreo y casi canto a la par de jon siempre, y nunca se qedo sin voz como jon, pero bueno, ahora en estos tiempos ninguno canta lo de antes obvio.

[avielknot]

love the photos!

[gazmundo1987]

This isn't the originally - this is a re-recorded version of the demo which they put on 2004's 100,000,000 Fans Can't Be Wrong album.

[beanolabub]

Sounds wierd without the guitar solo

[TwilightLover1295]

really good demo :)

[carl13220]

If you compare this version to the original, it's pretty clear that Bruce Fairbairn ( producer ) and Bob Rock ( mix ) are geniuses. Everything they touch turns to gold ( in Bob Rock's case, his résumé includes Motley Crüe and Metallica ). Great song anyway even without this guy's good production.

[iron0bites0the0dust]

the lyrics"oohh living on a prayer" is sung by who??..on 3:10 it becomes clear its not by bon jovi...

[Weybl]

Probably Richie

[mesembe]

probabaly ritchie or david

[ruben11450]

@iron0bites0the0dust i think it is richi sambora wjo is singing on 3:10.

[bobabgd]

he said "JUST STAY TOUGH" and we'll make it i swear............

[glamrocknroll]

bellissima! 5/5 bon jovi rocks

[linkhyliazora]

@glamrocknroll 

[linkhyliazora]

@glamrocknroll infinity out of infinity bon jovi rocks

[luigi19834]

My Favourite Bon Jovi songs ever ;) Who helps me to understand what Jon sings at 3:25? because in the original lyrics repeat always "take my hand and..." sorry for my bad english but im italian i hope you understand all ;) thanks in advance

[MDG0693]

I think he says "Just stand tough and we'll make it I swear"

[richierocks]

it could also be "Just stand tall and we'll make it I swear", btw... SAMBORA IS GOD!!

[saadalam03]

@MDG0693

Yes I think that's what they said

[DaKukaJazz]

@luigi19834 and it's richie who sings it :D

[benthemaltese27]

bon jovi rocks my first song from them

thanx 2 my friend, who got me into them!

[camel555]

Jonas Brother, WHAT THE HELL, Kev couldn't hold a candle to richies playing, can he even do a solo, as for popularity Jonas' last album was just certified platinum, I think after a year of release for LSippery when wet it had already recieved 8X certification, no comparison, plus Jonas brothers are kinda gay and not as hard as Bon Jovi

[MDG0693]

you got that right.

[xdregina]

if you're referring to what i said, reread my comment. i said kevin's guitar playing reminds me of a wannabe richie.

notice how i said WANNABE. richie is one of the best guitarists on the face of the planet. kevin on the other hand is not. i personally cant stand the jonas brothers, but, like i said, i'd compare them with bon jovi... except bon jovi is a BAND and the jonas brothers are more of a boy band. bon jovi always had an edge to them. jonas brothers have the disney channel. its different

[lionranger2432]

You are damn right!! The Jonas Brothers suck big time

[SwedishDelighter]

@camel555 "hard as bon jovi".. Lol man. Don't get me wrong, I love Jovi, but, they aint a hard rock band, dude. But yeah, I agree, Jovi are in a leauge of their own

[camel555]

@SwedishDelighter just comparing the jonas brother to them, Jovi is definatly much harder than those poofs

[ShayStuntman]

i think this is good but the proper 1 well the one i no the most i think is betta but this is still gud =]

[MDG0693]

ahm.. what are you talking about?

[xdregina]

but whatever..

BON JOVI IS, WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST BAND.. EVER!

[Fitnessboy02]

You are so right!

[lionranger2432]

Damn Right!

[fingernegl]

@xdregina Year sure, much better then Beatles, much better songwriters then Lennon & McCartney? Come on girl! Lets be honest, because you had a teen crush on Bon Jovi in 1986, doesn't make Bon Jovi the best band ever though they might be great :-)

[xdregina]

the reason why i compare the jonas brothers with bon jovi is because they are HUGE now.. well ok, jonas brothers are just huge among girls, not reall guys.. bon jovi is huge among everyone.

it just seems like the jonas brothers try to be like bon jovi.. my friends are obsessed with JB (haaa JB, BJ, funny.. & they're both from jersey), so i borrowed the new album & they have this rock-pop sound.. kevin's guitar playing reminded me of a wannabe richie.. haha

[payasoasesino25]

its a shame that you can compare a group that have been working too much during more than 20 years, 20 YEARS!!! to make a great sound in rock music with some guys that dont have any idea what rock is, and just copy the style and sound from someone else, its a pity.

[xdregina]

naw... tokyo hotel isn't good enough to say that they copy a sound, let alone a style. have you seen the lead singer's hair?!! lmao

[xdregina]

WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!

i would unfortunately compare the jonas brothers with bon jovi (not bon jovi with the jonas brothers.. or -gags- tokio hotel)

yeah tokio hotel isnt going anywhere.. they're staying at the bottom and aren't gonna get any higher, in the popular scene.

[rowag001]

One of the best!

[PrivateJoke1992]

the tokio hotel from yesterday x) well if what i say is true maybie the tokio hotel weill become the best band in the world just like them :D jbj 4 ever!

[MDG0693]

I'm sorry, but you've got to be kidding me if you compair BON JOVI with, well..tokio hotel =/.

[coleby6661]

i think that might be the keyboardist singing the high part on the key change.

thats the way theyve alwayz done it

[richierocks]

actually, it's Jon and Richie

Richie sings the "whoa we're half way there" part

Jon sings the "whoa livin' on a prayer" part

[MDG0693]

exactly

[originus]

no words... AMAZING!

[davortos]

Best ever!

[mamadukez55]

the pictures were excellent love the old photos of the band one of the best videos very rare that you see all the photos but you should have used the orignal living on the prayer song but doable it was great

[MDG0693]

thanks :)

[MajSmJz]

It's not great, but it is well sung. At least here he sung the key change in his false, rather than cut his voice. I'd say it's a wise choice.

[njboxer2oO7]

hey fuckhead thats y they call it a demo

[youngguns29]

wow never heard this!!!!

[blackrockingpirate]

WOW!!!where did you get this!!!amazing!!!

[KBX]

I think it's on the big 100.000 fans box set or whatever... It's a hidden track.

[blackrockingpirate]

I have that box set,but I can`t find it. such a great demo!

[KBX]

I hear it's at the end of "Nobody's Hero"

[MDG0693]

yes it is :), it's hard to think that Jon didn't liked it back then

[UltimateEnd622]

Yeah, but Ritchie convinced him that it was really a great song, so they tweaked a few things (mainly Ritchie using a Talkbox) and we got the amazing anthem we love now.
