[locutusofborg278]

Bill Hicks was right...

[Runaway9721]

They should put this back on air TODAY.

[fortheloveoftunes]

0:10 Good case for a "Lie To Me" episode .-)

[joeytmichaelj27]

i dont think he was doing drugs in this...by this time they were all tired and burned out, so maybe thats why he seemed this way. anyways, hes sooo cuuteee <3

[cindylew68]

Daniel, how do u know what sucking balls sound like????

[cindylew68]

Jealous haters...the girls want him and the guys wish they were him! Haaaahaaaahaaaa! He STILL has it!

[DanielChannon]

maybe if you did more drugs bon jovi you're music wouldn't suck so much balls

[NothingSpecialVideo]

@DanielChannon Maybe you wouldn't suck so much if you got a life and focused on what's important instead of hating on them. Why would you watch a Bon Jovi video if you don't like them? Just sayin. And if they're so bad then why are they still together after so many years and why do so many people freakin love them,including me? you can express your opinion but you don't have to be so rude about it.

[sarahljbj88]

@NothingSpecialVideo LOL why are you youtubing Bon Jovi then if you hate them? dont get it.

[NothingSpecialVideo]

@sarahljbj88 Oh my God. You did not just say that. Did you read my comment at all?! I LOVE Bon Jovi! I was talking to that Daniel guy cuz HE hates them and HE'S YouTubing them, Not me. Did you like make a mistake and click the wrong name or something? Cuz the words Bon Jovi and hate should never be in the same sentence in my life, EVER. I've always loved them and I always will.

[sarahljbj88]

@NothingSpecialVideo ahhh sooo sorry!! i dont know what happened there. So sorry!!! I totally agree with you!! i was supposed to be saying that to that other person. my mistake!! Glad there is someone on here that makes sense! People who say mean things about Bon Jovi are obviously jealous of them haha, otherwise why would they be interested in you tubing them?? Losers!! :D

[NothingSpecialVideo]

@sarahljbj88 It's totally cool. Don't worry. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk! I was still kinda in rage mode :P I understand :) And they are jealous losers indeed XD Bon Jovi's awesome and haters need to get over the fact that they'll never be half as good as they are :D

[sarahljbj88]

@NothingSpecialVideo Haha no thats ok!! i would be angry if someone said that to me too LOL. Exactly - They wouldnt still be together if they werent great! Why do they STILL sell out stadiums around the world? Numbers dont lie!!

[DanielChannon]

@NothingSpecialVideo well sorry, clearly you have a thing for shitty hair bands and looks like i've struck a nerve

[benandjohnnyfans]

he is sooooooo handsome!!!!

[IWillStickToMyGunss]

Epic long hair and Epic young voice of Jon

[freakybuzz]

I like how even as he reads his "script, " he's clearly toasted.

[kizonni]

....and then he snorted a line, or two....

[ladyericle]

@kizonni not funny !!!!

[PAXOCOml]

0:30 Frehley´s comet

[VanDoodah]

Rock against drugs sucks. And he did drugs - it's obvious from this.

[frankS883]

@VanDoodah You're right but he took drugs (and sometimes became a pusher) when he was a teen, then he stopped because he understood that he could not control his addiction.

[ladyericle]

@VanDoodah how ? were you there? if he had I don't think the guy would look so good 4 his age.HATER!!!!!

[sprinter82]

These, by the way, were the 'bubbles' used on this clip if I recall:

[Pic: William Burroughs]

-The term 'heavy metal' was coined by William Burroughs in his novel Naked Lunch.

-Burroughs was a life-long heroin addict.

[ladyericle]

@sprinter82 Bonjovi is not heavy metal is rock!!! get your music right!!!!

[Themusicintheair]

This commercial might be old, but it still counts!

[MultiTalent101]

He's a great example cause he's probably one of the only rockers that actually rock and don't do drugs!

[ladyericle]

@MultiTalent101 Thankyou, other wise he woulden't look so good @ his age!!!

[ENGLANDFC12345]

Fuck alcohol fuck weed fuck cigerates why all that shit when we have ROCK!!!!!!!

[Mark87tiell]

@ENGLANDFC12345 i love weeeed

[Guitarman5150]

I love how he said, "I've been given a script...." awesome! I take that to mean not his own words! Great way to say it!! LMAO!!! He did the RAD spot but still told you in a not so subbtle way it was words being put in his mouth!

[Jovifan239]

dunno why drugs come into loud music like that lol

[YoungIvyScholar]

he rocks!

[misshair]

Not sure what made me think of this old ad this morning..god he was gorgeous..lol

kind of funny/sad/ironic that they all supposedly were high as kites back then..:/

[MOWYWewan]

@conjodidi I was just about to say the exact same thing

[sprinter82]

I remember seeing a small portion of this featured in the Metal Mania episode of Pop-Up 80s.

Note how he only says drugs are not part of his 'everyday' life. How about his 'certain-day' life?

[RUPA3322]

@sprinter82 Alo bre brdski smiri se. Bon jovi tatko

[thewaterfalloflove]

@sprinter82, you have to admire that he was honest, but why in the world would they use him as a spokesperson if he was still using them recreationally?

[IWillStickToMyGunss]

@sprinter82 he never used drugs, only bassist Alec used drugs, if they used drugs they would finish like all other rock bands from their time, but they didn't and that is why they last untill thisday and still rock your ass off

[MrRoboto81]

Coming from the guy who stopped at a pharmacy while on tour and chugged cough medicine cuz they ran outta booze...

Bon Jovi still rocks the house though!

[winterfresh76]

@MrRoboto81 hahaha good one...driving thru somwhere telling the bus driver to stop at the cvs....

[mirandacosgrovewuver]

how do you know if he did that

[MrRoboto81]

@mirandacosgrovewuver

It was in their behind the music episode

[mirandacosgrovewuver]

wat episode is that from the 80s or was it on like vh1 or something

[bucky468]

Say isn't Bon Jovi's '88 hit "Bad Medicine" about drugs? What's it supposed to mean? Wasn't Jovi's bassist Alec Jon Such fired for drug & alcohol abuse?

[GuitarLiesBleedingBJ]

Well said Jon!
