@Bluecat279-Totally agree, I would much rather hear this played on the radio than, you give love a bad name or, other songs of his that they have wore out through the years!!
Wow, I remember this like it was yesterday!!!! Those were the days, big hair and great music!!! I love Bon Jovi, they are the best. If you missed out then, start listening to them now, you won't be sorry!!!!!
after hearing this...ya gotta realize they couldve just faded away like all other hair bands - this song sounds so 80's....and I AM a fan. They got sooo much better begining with slippery right thru their latest albums
Haha Bon Jovi is my favorite band of all time, ALL TIME! I have 287 songs my i-Pod, BUT, I have to say this is probably the first time 'Bon Jovi has Lip Synched. lol. It's kinda funny, you can see Jon cutting the verses off, as the recording is still playing. If you listen to this version, and the live version in Japan, you'll see the difference lol.
There aere that times, when they were just guys, not international superstars.. Wow, they didn't know, that after some years, the became rock superstars.. Love them <3
oh man i remember this, some friends and i saw these guys warm up the scorpions in glens falls ny the night before. we woke up the next day and these guys were on tv. we were like, wow man we just saw them last night!
This is an amazing find. Thanks to my friend for sharing it with me. Whoa...So funny that Dick has to tell him to introduce himself. ROFL Are you kidding me....Ha aha aha...Funny thing is that they definitely don't need introductions now. LOL. But gotta smile at the outfit and moves that were all the rage back in the day. You know I think he is in better shape later on though and those jeans are slamming hot. Thanks for uploading this. I will share it with Bobby Kidd too. Awesome!
So true about them. I was fortunate enough to be there. I loved the 80's and still do. Hope you can not miss out on my friend Bobby Kidd's rise to fame. Swarms of JBJ fans are starting to take notice. At least get to be his friend now on facebook just in case. He is a wonderful person too. He sings a bit like JonBonJovi but he is still his own star. Check out his YouTube channel BobbyKidd. Telling you...I am getting my backstage pass NOW while he is starting out. He will be in USA soon too.
This is amazing!!! I love Bon Jovi!!!! I had the misfortune of completely missing the entire 1980s due to the fact that I hadn't been born yet. He was and still is super hot!!! So is Richie Sambora!! I totally wished that I had been living in the 80s because, contrary to most opinions, I actually love the 80s hair and style!!! It just looks so cool on stage!!! Rock on Bon Jovi!! Lets keep it going for another 25 years!! I love you and will always love you!!!
But at least I got to go to see them live last year on June 25, 2009!!!! They are freakin amazing live!!!! It could qualify as the best day of my life!!! When Richie stepped out on stage, I literally could not breathe due to the fact that he was right in front of me!!! It was awesome!!! I will never forget that night, ever!!!!
@RichieBonJovi I'm 47 yrs. old and Jon is 48 yrs. old, I seen them @st. in Vegas! I got front row seats thanks to my 7yr. old nephew whom is now 29 yrs. old it was 1988. The sad thing is Jon and Rich were already burned out from touring and you could see the dark shadows under his eyes, he was feeding the BONJOVI machine and it was taking it's toll, thank God they rested and he remains beautiful!
@RichieBonJovi I am so sad too cuz I didn't know of them back then. I was only 10 years old. I heard of them in 1986 when they came out with "You Give Love a Bad Name" and i was instantly in love. I just wish I had heard of them sooner cuz maybe I would have been able to meet them before they got so big and then I could be the mother of Jon's children instead of Dorthea. i know I'm terrible but I love him so much it makes me cry!!! :*(
@RichieBonJovi I am so sad too cuz I didn't know of them back then. I was only 10 years old. I heard of them in 1986 when they came out with "You Give Love a Bad Name" and i was instantly in love. I just wish I had heard of them sooner cuz maybe I would have been able to meet them before they got so big :*(
@RichieBonJovi I lived it, I am in my 40s, so I remember the video for this song, and Runaway came out when my eldest sister ACTUALLY ran away from home, She musta been a drama queen
Don't make fun of his shirt... lol. It's amusing..in a way. I love you Jon, and your strange style. Is it me? Or does he look like a little kid? Awhh, sooo adorable!
@Chummy8Me I think Jesse Camp was inspired alot by this style. People give the 80's alot of crap yet love Anime. Sheesh, and they say *I* talk outta both side of my mouth. Racists! j/k
There is nothing funny about this video. I was 21 and he 22 yrs. old and he helped me at the time get over a broken heart. I thought wow, that's weird, all of sudden I see this guy on a rock magazine walking by and that was it, Jon Bonjovi is pure magic.
Wrong! Living on a Prayer by Jon, Richie and Desmond Child, You give Love a Bad Name, silent night, just to name a few and the list goes on, oh and wanted Dead or Alive!
duhhh!!! of course.. Desmond was in a lot of songs, and not only him but few others.. what i meant is that this song has the distinction that its the only bon jovi studio release that was not written by a member of the band... it was written by Marc Avsec
Too bad that the band the song was meant for - FairWarning , ( Now LaFlavour - who had the hit song Mandolay in '79) - got screwed. It was originally recorded and sung by them.
Wait, what happened? Was it something in rock and roll or your personal life. If its personal don't tell me, but if its something rock and roll do tell.
Wonderful!! I like the shredded clothes from Jon. And, of course, this long hair. I wuold like it more, when I can run one's fingers through his hair. Thnx for sharing my friend.
Everyone is talking about how Michael Jackson was the greatest of all. Look at this beautiful man, naturally. He is a Superstar and still living, what a doll!
Jon have the music running through him , but also i think ate to much junk food . I heard them say they did in my magazines from the 80's
