Jon Bon Jovi Chillin' on the Upper West Side

[dewnolan41]

Ok, guys so Jon wanted to be rich and famous by being unknown???? He knew and knows the price, grow up.

[JeremyKyleLuva]

I can't stop thinking how cruel this is. I feel deep sorrow for the man. He looked directely at the cam, and was not pleased. Fuck this!

[JeremyKyleLuva]

I find this inspicably cruel. He wanted to pick up his kids, he's a father that's what he is when he is not working. Singing's his job, fame is his job. He leaves it at that, you should give him some privacy. This is still wrong, and I hate the fact that someone went against Jon's wishes to keep his kids off the camera. Even his son realised someone was filming. Jon before he got in the car looked at the camera, I knew he was not pleased at all. You should learn to respect him and his values.

[uscgirl212]

shoooot. i would have just sat quietly beside him on the bench. i wouldve had to atleast sit beside him and be like "so...waiting on the bus?" hahah

[dewnolan41]

To all the backstage fans, respect was shown by not speaking to him, Jon knows that this is the price he had to pay, I have loved him for ever I am 43 years old. I have been a member of backstage, and always supported them. Thank you for posting this video. Desiree

[dewnolan41]

love it, a real person, thank you for not speaking to him, and letting him be..............

[dewnolan41]

Thank you for a real life on Jon

[BonjoviBJ]

Nice car

[joeytmichaelj27]

i would be waaay to scared to ask him for an autograph...i probably wouldv taken a short video, not a long one like this. but he probably would have heard my uncontrolable screams so....

[fitnessisgood4u]

He was losing his hair in 1997 in Destination Anywhere. He's got a hairpiece on or implants now. So what, it's only for the image, stage, etc. Great performer, still looks good for his age.

[LKMedia59]

@fitnessisgood4u OK i know it's quite a while since you wrote this comment, but Jon doesn't wear a hairpiece nor does he have any implants. It's all his own hair! Look at his interview on Larry King. Just making a point cause i love his hair! ;)

[fitnessisgood4u]

@LKMedia59 cool, ok, thanks for the reply!!

(Have a look at "Lay Your Hands On Me - Newark 11/09/07", and see if you change your mind.) Take care.

[LKMedia59]

@fitnessisgood4u Hey, i checked that video you were talking about there, the performance of Lay Your Hand On Me. No i haven't changed my mind. His hair is all natural ;) Nothing fake about Jon ;)

You're welcome for the reply btw and thank you for replying to me...since you wrote that comment a long time ago i wasn't expecting a reply!

[karencita320]

Como amo a este hombre, pero lastima solo existe uno en la tierra, si hubiera estado alhi lo buera besado y abrasado quier llorar, ojala que venga a Peú.

[karencita320]

Como amo a este hombre, pero lastima solo existe solo uno en la tierra quiero llorar , si hubiera estado ahi lo hubiera besado y habrasado, oaja que venga a Perú.

[simpledragon3]

If you all know Bon Jovi you all would know that was not him. How dumb can you all be.

[dfahmie1]

@simpledragon3 THERE is no way this is JonBonJovi. The video was taken purposely to not be able to get a clear shot of him... camera constantly moving... but, no, this is not him. REALLY REALLY obvious that it is not him.

[nikehun21]

@dfahmie1

no it is him, just with his short haire

[aotopoints]

@dfahmie1 This is,in fact ,Jon.He has an,well,apartment in that area(dont ask ,long story).His hair too ,is naturally brown.He dyes it blond at times but not as much anymore due to it being harsh on the roots and the hairs health.If you look closly again and freeze the screen at times,it is him

[sheilajbj]

@aotopoints ok, well i must ask since you said don't....i want to know the long story!!! please?!?!?

[sheilajbj]

@dfahmie1 you are very unobservant; it is him. get some glasses or something!

[WelecomeToMyWorld]

wow this was cool, not to be too much of a fan or anything lol

[bjovifan1]

Who would seriously do this to Jon?Can't he have a normal life too.Hes just sitting there.Hes aloud to do that too.You wouldnt tape someone that wasnt famous doing that.

[rosefd]

First of all this video was shot just after Jon cut and died his hair brown, what you see is some of the blond still coming through. He isn't going bald.

[IzzyIsou]

Bald spot Jovi?

[conquita1]

poor Jon he have to go outside with glasses so that people can't recognize him

[conquita1]

it was obbius that he saw the camera ,Jon was looking at the camera like for 4 times

[Chicoutimi]

Jon BALD!!!!!Noooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chas6333]

Oh...so youd like him less if he was losing his hair? Typical woman....looks...looks....and looks...lets not forget money.

[owenstopp]

cool

[frank43210]

to bad girls he is going bald!

[dzoolk]

he looks funny in short hair.

[cjjcv]

yeah this is not nice, now I know he is bold

[1lovebonjovi1]

:O! I'm jealous!

Did you go ask for an autograph?? I WOULD! :D

Stalker footage! But I would do the same - you're not alone ;)

[jonbonjovino1]

i love absolutelly everthn about jon xxxxxxxx i could cry when he says "i aint gonna live for ever"!! hope i die b4 jon xxx cause he wouldnt miss me but id die of a broken heatr xxx

[jonbonjovino1]

think it would have bn better if the person videoing jon,hadnt done so!!! instead could have smiled at the guy and discretelly asked for his autoghraph, or the likes!! but thats not nice, nobody would like to be videod in the street!! if you want to c jon then go n c the guys live in concert!! thats when you can video him, but not lke this. thats sad xxx i love cn u live doing gigs, jon u r the best xxxx

[xdregina]

haha wow this is kinda weird...

videotaping an everyday guy...

yeah i know hes jon bon jovi

but hes a regular guy.

whose also super hot.... hhaha

[nukkuhplease]

i agree he should have his sapace.

all those people he is walking by don't even recognize him!

[rocklady069]

they dont saw who walk there. sorry but i would seen him and ask him for a autograph! Love Bon Jovi!!!!

[roseartese]

As a long-time BJ fan and fan club member, I find this appalling and consider it a "VIDEO-STALKER" thing. What a terrible thing to do to Jon. Poor man can't have time alone like any normal person. This person should have just gone over to him, said hi, asked for pic, left it up to him and left him alone but instead acted in a sneaky, backdoor stalker manner. A true BJ fan would never stoop so low. SHAME ON YOU!!!! ROE-ROE

[KeepsMeBurning]

i agree

[sheilajbj]

@roseartese oh come on, that's the price he pays for being famous..so what, so someone got some video of him looking like a regular guy. I think Jon would have been more annoyed with someone approaching him. I'm sure he didn't like that he was being filmed but that's the price he must pay. And not too bad a price, he's lucky he's not mobbed by women that tear his clothes off when he steps out in public, considering that he is the most gorgeous, sexy, charasmatic, talented man on the planet!!

[JeremyKyleLuva]

@roseartese At least it gave us a glimpse of his life, though in some degree it's wrong. But people do it, to many celebrities. It happens. It's not right, but it does. He's an extraordinary man.

[patluvsjon]

OMG this person needs to get a life of their own and leave Jon alone. I know he saw you mean person.Snoop bad bad

[PinkQueen94]

(L) I LOVE BON JOVI (L)

[rockira]

God, I love this man!

[lucasGrabeelfreak]

u should of goten the lisence plate if there was one but lucky

[ryandmattsmom]

Leave him alone!!!!

His fans that love him so much are the reason the guy can't go out in public without being recognized or filmed! Makes me sick.

[bonjoviland]

Jon and Dorthea have done a good job at keeping their family private, and the fact that someone has invaded that by secretly taping him getting his kids makes me feel ill. Please respect him.

[jonbonjovishot]

wow if that is not werid i dont know what that is

[ziddyz]

This video is abit creepy. But what can you do about it? I knew years ago that Jon, as a person is just a normal, standard guy. He has always stated this interviews. Even in his interviews he comes across very humble, regardless of what he has achieved with Bon Jovi. Also, he believes in very strong family views. This is proven in his marriage to Dorothea, who he has known since 1980/1981. Just goes to show what a humble, caring and FAITHFULL man he is! BON JOVI ROCK!

[sheilajbj]

@ziddyz faithful? ha! he's even admitted in interviews he hasn't been 'an angel' people stay married even when one or the other cheat. he is very humble in his interviews and pretty darn honest...

[JeremyKyleLuva]

Very creepy and yet wrong.

[SpiffySchmugen]

Okay I love BOn Jovi and everthing (obsessivley) but this is a liiitle creepy....:S

[beastmaster112]

only in nyc could jbj do this

[WhoDidBonJovi]

Seems like Jon knew what he was doing to blend in with less chances of being recognized because: 1)he recently cut his hair and it is not so blond anymore, 2)he didn't smile showing his perfect white teeth, 3)he wore baggy pants not his usual tight sexy ones, 4)he didn't walk with his shoulders up straight with confidence like he usually does, and 5)he didn't wear the usual incognito baseball hat. But I'm sure I would recognize him, because there just aren't that many good looking men out there.

[u2bella123]

Amen to "there just aren't that many good looking men out there" you got that right sisa!

[bball10chic]

All those people and their not paying any attention as God passes them by.....I'd be on my knees!

[AzureSkyzz]

that's hot

[lydijohnnydepp44]

wowowoww!!! salen the kids of bon jovi into de car...good job

[JBJfan2007]

Also-this was shot right after he cut his hair so he was much less recognizable at this point. Don't think ya needed to try to get the license plates though. Thats Jons BMW I think.

[JBJfan2007]

Jon is 45,not 47. I think its obvious that he knew he was being filmed. He really seemed to get in the car in a hurry. He may have been afraid of a big scene if more noticed him. Hes just trying to blend in.

[jovifan93]

stalk much?

[4erosmith]

I love this guy!

[ststephens97]

fuck me but is he becoming a slap head?!?!?

[justmedick]

i hope u know he farted big time...i was sitting next to him,what a pig

[lgaucker]

my my.. what a beautiful man.. ya gotta love.. he's not only HOT.. he's just like you and me... respect his privacy... although, I have to admit.. I see THAT walking down the street... I DONT KNOW LADIES!! YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN!! check out his Christmas video with Cindy Crawford.. damn, why can't I find that under my tree this year!! Love you Jon ! See you in March at the Wachhovia.. I'll be the one panting in the 5th row sec 123.. seen you 13 times,, this is the best seats yet!!!!!

[Nedsfan]

My brother knows his brother.?

haha,... My brothers first job was at the place were her performed before he was famous. Does that make any sense...i dont know. He's changed.

[crystalfairie]

I'm just curious...how has he changed? I'm guessing fame has gotten to him (maybe?).

[bakersbabey]

the person picking him up was his brother.. this i do know. =)~ and it must be nice to be able to not get swarmed by a bunch of lunatics.lol *hugs-Jon*

however, it is is home and peeps most likely respect him.That to me is a home. He works his a** off and he does deserve some peace accept stalkers i guess.

No matter who you are or where you are, there will always be an idiot following you.You do not have to be a well known musician.

[Marteena007]

I agree with you. He deserves some peace and respect. It's so true.

[bohochic1234]

omg stalker alert! who would film him just sitting there and follow his car with the camera. its not fair! he's still a person. Was that Dot and the kids in the car. see, family man!!!! he has more of a life than E!

[wayd2]

more and more

[katmac75]

Wpw, I don't know how kept your distance. I can't believe nobody around noticed him. If someone that even vaguely looked like him was in my home town, they would have a colony of loving fans swooning pathetically in no time.... Ahh Jon, he is gorgeous. The USA is SO lucky, why can't we have guys that look like that?

[pk1993]

haha. thats funny. its nice to know that he isnt as high maitnenced as other celebrities. lol. gotta love Jonny.

[u2bella123]

hey great video. Did anyone recognize him? I think If I saw him I would let out big scream and faint my his feet...hey there arent many men walking around lookin' like that!! am I right ladies!?

[teezweez]

this girl has a brain in her head!!

ooooooi wishhh i was thereeeeee

[smp1563621]

I love jon and all but one word-stalker

[elbitaxfiles]

Jon se ve muy bien con el corte de pelo, aunque el pelo largo resalta más sus atributos. Como quiera te amo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bball10chic]

Wow, great shot, Love Jon with his new do! Pru Center Nov. 1st , here I COME!!!

[bonjovidaly]

jovigal your opinion is valued on this matter & point taken. have 2 b honest if it was me i would invited jon home 2 meet d wife n kids the man is god in our house.great 2 c him out n about in civilian clothes like d rest of us just being a normal joe soap.keep believing!!!!

[bonjovidaly]

jovi gal jon is sitting in d midlle of 8 million people in manhatt not exactly a private place.... no body bothered him r hassled him he was just another face in d crowd take your hat off 2 mr video guy 4 leaving jon in peace(almost) no harm done p.s no kids is 1 thing but just remember jon has had some of his kids on stage in front of d world many times no big deal

[jovigirl1964]

You are correct, he was not in his backayard having a family bbq. While I see your point I do still have my own opinion on the matter. It's true no real harm was done. Nad while his kids have been on stage with him stage with him it was his decision - not someone elses. Anyway, I meant no ill will towards bootytnyc (mr. video guy).

[ruth421963]

I thank whomever shot it!

Thats what I want to see{Jon being Jon}.

I'm sure he felt ppl had him in focus..

No maybe Jon wouldnt like it, Jon

realizes it's a high price for fame..and all

the bs that comes with it..I think I'd have walked by him{and maybe do a double take},he

finally looked like a "reg good looking guy". Peace, Ruth

[jovigirl1964]

As much as I admire jbjand love to see all things related to him, I think this is bordering on invasion of privacy. But, at the same time, I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing (tape it). Would I have posted such a private moment on youtube? Probably not. Yes, he is a public figure but he also has his private life and we all know how he doesn't like his kids to be brought into his fame. I bet if he's seen this he's none to happy about it.

[bonjovidaly]

rob....shame people lke u will never understand what joy jon has brought 2 millions world wide words will never explain the man is a national treasure...navasink river roads finest....raise your hands!!!!!!

[rob2252]

WTF this is pathetic he is just a person come on I dont understand all the fuss about a star all the times they are people just like us there is nothing special on them only the whole world know's him because he can sing so what ? :S

[miki03soimu]

Jon is a "person" who has sold more than 120 milion records with his rock band, and you know what is special about him? That someone has taped him when he didn't know, and what was he doing? Was he with other women, was he drunk or high? No, he was just a normal guy, a father waiting for his kids. That's what makes him special and different form all the jerks who think they are stars!

[MyUserNameIsThis2]

No way are you a stalker. Thanks for taping this, you did a great job keeping the background noise with the song :)

[daromega]

bootytnyc:

When did this happen? When did you capture him on tape?

Great video!

[evodevo69]

There's nothing creepy about this! Unless the author is a dude! haha.

Anyway, his younger brother is bald...Jon still got the good genes b/c he's like 47 and he's JUST starting to thin at the back.

[OkPero]

in the begining it seems like he saw u

[SamRitterx3]

when was this taken?

[rockchick36]

he is and always will be a sex god mmmm

[smile95007]

What a great video !!! What year was this taped ?? Jon hair looks really short and not soooo blond...love it thanks for posting...AND filming !!

[marinagonzalezf]

I saw him very close he is not tall but very handsome and sexy!!!

[OkPero]

lol all the people walkin around him and they didnt noticed that it was him :'D..

and.. I agree, w/the music and the video it looks like a movie scenes or somethin XD

[catpep04]

oh dear lord..is that a bald spot....say it isnt so!!!

[lbijerseygirl]

LOL You know it is ;)

[bonjodi]

WOW..GREAT VID. Talk about right place and right time. I can't believe no one recognised him. As I'm from Australia , we don't have many oportunities to see celeb's, just roamin the streets.

BON JOVI ROCKS!!!!

[bonjovidaly]

does anybody know the make of phone jon is using???? legend

[cjh1968]

OMG..Holy shit this is cool

[boredhousewife712]

wow... i love jovi and would love to see any of them out and about but... this is kinda creepy!!!

[nancyphander]

I agree creepy!!!It looks like he didnt even know someone was taping him.

[nikki2giovi]

OMG!! I wish I lived near JBJ!! I don't think I'll ever find him in the street where I live(Spain).. I went to NY this summer and stayed on a friend's house, all I wished for every time I went out was to find him...

[SamRitterx3]

I ♥ the song, I ♥ JBJ too. But umm back to the song, I almost cried when Tyson Ritter from AAR and him were singing together...A dream come true! AAR && Bon Jovi in New Jersey Nov. 9 & 10 cannot wait!

[cgpalms]

another Bruce cover. He does okay.

[jovionabedofroses]

Thanks for the video clip. It is always a treat to see Jon(looking great as always)being relaxed and just enjoying life out of the spotlight. I wonder if he was picking the kids up from school? What time of day was this? This time when I watched the clip I think Jon might have known you were filming him!Just my opinion.Oh well I enjoyed and again thanks for posting. Great song btw

[bonjovidaly]

u do realize u just met god that day shame he dosent know it d man is a legend.......traveld from ireland 2 a jovi gig in jersey in 2001 i could never explian it but i'll die happy...whent 2 his house in sayerville 16 robinhood ave...then on 2 red bank where he now lives(navasink river road)jon wss in d hampthons 'chelsea clintons birthday so never got 2 meet him bin 2 25 jovi gigs have jons superman tattoo plus i got d slippery chain(ss) made only 2 in ireland my mate got d other....i believe

[MakeAMemory2]

I have already commented and think you did a great job on this, I am a huge Bon Jovi fan and I love what you did with the music..one other question, did JBJ even realize you were there?

[bootytnyc]

You know, he was wearing the shades, I kept thinking he was looking at me, probably wasn't. I was pretty far away (gotta love the 30x digital zoom). Then again, he's likely "hyper aware" of these kind of things and he may have had a feeling! Don't really know! But he stayed until the car came, so..he couldn't have been that concerned, or bothered!

It was definitely fun..and interesting!

BT

[bonjovifan93]

did jon cut his hair??

oh he's so sexy

thanks for posting it

[samborakid]

yeh he did, back to the old destination anywhere days!

[jbjdiva]

I love jbj too but I think his hair should be longer to cover the bald spot! After all if your covering the gray why not the thinning.

[rosefd]

Leave the man alone he still looks great!

[jbjdiva]

Hey I cover my gray and I must say I look pretty good too. Not an insult just a comment. I do like a blonde jovi better!

[bonjovisgirl4ever]

I love his hair he looks so good with it. I love how he's just sitting and no1 notices him lol Thanks for this jen :)

[Greatmagic]

So turns out Jon's got a new haircut, huh? And looks like the natural color of it, too.

[WrathMania]

Whoever taped this is an asshole. Get a life.

[bootytnyc]

Always a pleasure to meet someone with a light, fun perspective! Thanks for checkin' out the clip!

[slippery89]

did you go up to him and meet him?

[bootytnyc]

No. Didn't feel like bothering him. If I had, he likely would have had to walk away and find another spot to hang out! Didn't want to be a pest.

Let's hear it Wrathmania...what I did was even worse!

It really just depends on whether or not you think he's being adversely affected by the clip!

"Stalking" sounds like a pre-meditated act. I just stumbled

into this, had the camera handy and, yes, I stopped for a minute and filmed him!

Nothing but Love for JBJ and all the Jovi fans!! BT

[JoviLove07]

And we all thank you for it!!!!!!!!!

I for one--am damn glad you were there!!

[smile95007]

you did ok! congratulations ! if I was me I'd couldn't help to go to say to him how much joy his music brings to my life since 20 years now...

First time I didn't notice about jesse and steph then I read the comments here..thanks everybody ! I guess I only have eyes for the dad..hahahha also I thought was and old video from 97 or so by the way his hair looks..can't believe this was just a few weeks ago...you're lucky..you know ??thanks again for sharing !!

[WrathMania]

Heh, thanks. Likewise, I always love to meet people who have nothing better to do with their lives than stalk someone for two minutes.

[efytuf]

dont go away! buuuuuuuuu

take me with youuuuu

[cacwy]

omg! i thought the same thing!!! lol!!!

[minnima]

isn't he the most beautiful man over the earth???!!!

[fedebjalways]

It's kind of rare to see a rockstar walking down the street like that! I know he is a human being and he has a life but it is still odd. The background music is perfect, it's like a short movie, it couldn't be better, congratulations!

[maurrdh]

Looks like Jesses cut his hair after returning from Italy. Jon cut his too, i love it, he does look younger. Thanks for posting, and Prudential Center, here i come!

[musikbabe550]

Why/when were they in Italy? They were just in the Hamptons not a week ago! And Canada for American Idol....boy they get around...

[razorbladerocker]

What the hell happened to johns hair

[jovibaz]

cool pal but i would have been right over 2 shake his hand for all his cool music he has made over the years thanks:-)

[jbjlosthighway]

thanks for this. and it kinda looks like hes loosin his hair in the back a lil. but i still love him. lol thanks again for this.

[frcampi]

His daughter and son are with him. If you pay attention, he will signal to them and they both hop in the car.

[jbjlosthighway]

yeah i saw that.

[KriszBJ]

thanks for filming these moments, I like it very much. On which day did you make the video?

[bootytnyc]

It was two days ago, Thursday afternoon!

[mariagcavallo]

=( I don't like his hair like that. But thanks for posting. =)

[thewanderer2008]

To the losers who posted the negative comments:

Shaddap! Fortheloveofbonjovi!!

I'm no stalker but if I'd been there with my video camera I would have definitely done the same thing!

Thanks bootytnyc for being alert and catching this and for sharing with us Jonny fans!

[sdenises2007]

Thanks so much for sharing this!

[ezeq1982]

Se esta quedando dolape atriqui.

He is lossing his hair in the backside.

[boscoNY911]

thanks for posting !!

[optimumreader]

Thanks!

[elibonjovi04]

Thank you. ;)

[PsychoRules]

What's pathetic is some saddo stalking Jon during his own time just going about his business! I felt guilty watching this!

[bootytnyc]

you know what, had he been kissing another woman, or picking his nose it would have been a different story. He was chillin, he looked great, I didn't bother him. His whole life is about people seeing him and how good he looks!  Lighten Up!

[scaramouche132]

a mi me da igual le queda igual con super melena, media melena, o cortito como en el disco destination anywhere asi me encanta. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡besujis¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[sandybj]

yo lo prefiero kon la melenillla rubia. El pelo así le hace mas viejo!!!!!!!!

[nataliabonjovi]

lmao....love it, he knows he is good look at the way he walks lol!

[babaganoush12]

'Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,

I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.'

ah ah ah ah stayin alive....LMFAO!

[nataliabonjovi]

EXACTLY!!!! lmao!!! he got it all goin on!!!

'wooot look at me walk this road!!'

[amrice]

[MakeAMemory2]

Wow..I didnt realize Steph and Jesse were getting in the car too!! Jesse's hair is so short!!! I noticed the bald spot too..say it isnt so!!! He still looks 10 years younger with the new hair!!! He is still so delicious!!!

[JoviLove07]

hilarious!!!!! I think I saw a slightly thinning spot on the back of his head though...eeeeek!! say it ain't so!!!! He's looking so 1997ish with the new look..

[MarsdenGirl07]

omg, that's what my mom said..he's balding..OH NO!!

[MarsdenGirl07]

Aww, he was picking up Stephanie and Jesse..how cute..You saw them getting into the backseat..he is such a good dad! :)

[JoviLove07]

Jesse got a buzz too! they must have had a family haircut day!!!

[dida1209]

LOL

[MakeAMemory2]

What do you think the guy on the bench is listening to on his IPOD? Thanks for posting this...so fun!!!

[JoviLove07]

Bon Jovi???? maybe that guy will see himself on here and respond...he missed his chance to meet the man of my dreams..lol

[MarsdenGirl07]

Notice how he is walking, the man is just strutting his shit..hehe
