This is for the Young Guns II. It had Emilio Estevez, Lou Diamond Phillips, Keifer Southerland, and Christian Slater. It’s about Billy the Kid. My personal thoughts is I love both Young Guns movies. And Emilio Estevez was friends with Jon Bon Jovi and got him to do the songs and music for the second Young Guns movie. 🤘🏽💜
@@kaycee4357 Rarely do I see a movie twice, but I watched both 1&2, twice. Great actors and I love old western type movies about famous people anyway, so....
Brad: You want this played at your funeral? Lex: No, cuz I'm gonna have Blue Oyster Cult 'Don't fear the Reaper, boy" Best comment of the year!! Dam that's a fire comment!
That entire album was a total masterpiece. So overlooked. Solo work by Jon Bon Jovi, without the regular band but with a "supergroup" of renowed artists like Jeff Beck, Elton John, Little Richard.
If you're doing MOVIE/SONG combos, you cannot possibly overlook Huey Lewis and the News "Power of Love" which was written for the movie "Back To The Future".
And it was used in ALL of them. It was the main theme to the first movie; in the second movie when Marty picks up his guitar (older Marty, at home) but can't play it because of his damaged hand, that's the song he's trying to play; and in the third movie, at the end, when Needles pulls up to challenge him to the drag race, it's the song playing in Needles' car.
Truly an underrated song. This was a huge hit at the time and seemed to go along well with "Wanted Dead Or Alive" thematically. If you are a lyrics guy like me and Brad, or if you are a fan of Billy The Kid, this song works on many levels. Check out "Las Cruces Jail" by Two Gallants for another GREAT take on rock n roll and Billy The Kid.
The ppl of Young Guns wanted to use “wanted dead or alive” for the sequel. But Jon said that he could write one specifically for the movie. This is it.
@@stixxnstonerz3450 Exactamundo when this MV came out on MTV I had just watched the two Young Guns and so I was already familiar with the clips on the video and it was so so chiling!
As well respected as Jon Bon Jovi's voice is, I'm really not sure he gets the credit he deserves. This movie was so huge at the time and the music is what pushed it over the top. (And Jeff Beck is a madman with a guitar) Blue Oyster Cult is a solid funeral pick lmao, and now "come take a dump on a delicate dish" will forever be part of my phrasiology.
They asked Jon bon Jovi if they could use his song "wanted dead or alive" he said no and he wrote this whole album for the movie he is one of the most talented song writers that has ever lived you should listen to the entire album
@@DeansMayhem the producers of the movie asked about using Wanted. I don't think the conversation as far as the where and when before Jon said no and wrote a complete original soundtrack instead
Jon disapproved of using "Wanted Dead or Alive" for the film b/c the lyrics are about musicians touring, hence doesn't match the story of Billy the Kid.
Emilio Estevez played Billy The Kid in Young Guns and Young Guns 2, he was friends with Jon Bon Jovi and he loved there song Wanted Dead or Alive so Jon went on to do a original song 🎶 for the film but in the end he end up doing the whole soundtrack to the film! John Fusco was the screen writer and producer on the first film he loved Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead Or Alive and he played it has he wrote and got inspired for the movie he got ahold of Jon to see if they could use the song for part 2 but Jon didn’t think the song fit for Billy The Kid so he came on set with his guitar 🎸 and roam and walking around with the cast and crew and while at lunch on a napkin he wrote Blaze Of Glory in about 6 minutes and the rest is history it was a #1 song! The official video for this is awesome 👏
This song is actually from Young Guns 2, which is mostly about Billy the Kid. Also not Bon Jovi, which is the name of the band. This song is a Jon Bon Jovi solo project, he did most of the soundtrack for the movie and even had a small part in it.
Minor detail: This is a solo song from Jon Bon Jovi. Pretty sure he had a cameo in the film this was written for, Young Guns II. Y’all are awesome, btw.
I saw him in a grocery store in Rumson, New Jersey. I asked someone who worked there if that was him and he warned me not to approach him because he wasn’t cool with that. I liked him in the movie “Cry Wolf” back in 2005. This was circa 2006. He was driving a black Jeep Wrangler.
I love both of the Young Gun movies,lol,I still watch them everytime they come on,it doesn`t matter what part I`m tuning in to I`m watching til the end :) Keep On Rockin'
Ohh wow... I loved this song as a teenager and had the whole album on repeat countless times. I should listen to it again. It's been some years. Greetings from Germany
This was fun. I always think of Bon Jovi as a daggy ol' 80's hair band that I can only appreciate the cheesiness of when I'm in a stupid mood. But re-experiencing songs through Brad & Lex's reactions re-frames them like that... You can see all the talent on display here & the song is really perfectly crafted. Oh and Lex is big on the slide guitar so they need to find some more of that gear.
Why does everything from this era seem so great? Is it possible that we had the best movies and music all at the same time? Every single song that gets brought up was gold. This song is one of a million great things from the 80s/90s. It's somehow perfect, and yet nothing special.
Both movies and music had a major peak in 80’s, I remember going to a new good movie just about every week with my friends, and I would be buying a new album/CD just about every week (I built up the majority of my 800 CD collection in the 80’s), now the movies are mostly based on comic books, not much else, and music, well, todays popular music is no where near as good as the average song released in the 80’s. Maybe I sound like an old man, lol, but it’s the way I feel. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/
Cause we were lucky enough to be young during this period. I was born in 1978 and experienced my childhood in the 80s and teenage years in the 90s, and I feel blessed because I remember a time before smart phones, social media and corporate nonsense that masquerades as “art”.
Bon Jovi is the man. His voice is amazing. I grew up in the 80's hearing this song brings back so many memories . You guys kick ass. Keep up the great job you bring to us all with such great music......
How I wish everyone could react with out worrying about being blocked. This is a great song and , to me, the best live performance was London 95, when you have over 70 thousand people singing along, there's no words. Thank you Brad & Lex for this.
So this was for the movie Young Guns 2. The producers wanted to use the song Wanted Dead Or Alive. But Jon Bon Jovi said it didn’t fit. So he said he would write a new song for them and ended up writing the whole soundtrack. Of note. This wasn’t the band Bon Jovi. This was a solo project by Jon Bon Jovi while the band was on hiatus.
This song and video are both amazing! The producers of Young Guns II originally wanted to use Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" for the soundtrack, but Jon wasn't interested in taking that route. Instead, he suggested that he write an original song for it based on the script of the movie... He put together an incredible supergroup of extremely talented and highly respected musicians and wound up writing every song on the Soundtrack, all of which are really great! This was his first time stepping out from his band and doing a "solo project", and the group included Elton John and Little Richard on piano/keyboards, as well as Jeff Beck on guitar. Awesome memories from a wonderful time in my life, and a rather enjoyable movie to boot.
You can never tell from looking at Brad if he likes a song or not. The same can't be said for Lex, you can definitely tell just from watching her reaction.
Amazing song and movie. This is YG2 so you'll have to watch 2 movies to get the full affect. First one was better imo so you'll enjoy no matter what. Charlie Sheen before he was a Warlock on tigers blood
So this song wasn’t actually a Bon Jovi (the band) song, it was made by Jon Bon Jovi solo. But the song did so well that the band ended up taking it on as theirs. The rumor is that the movie makers asked Jon to do the soundtrack but he only agreed if they gave him a part in the movie, (I guess he wanted to some acting, he was in a few other things around that time too), so there’s a scene where a bunch of people are escaping a jail or something and he’s one of those people. But the whole soundtrack was written by Jon and on this song he plays the guitar too. Now that you guys reacted to it you should go watch the official video cause it’s a video that definitely adds to the experience of the song ( and lex, Jon looks good in it too 😉😂)
this song was written by Jon for the movie young guns 2 .the director said no until Jon grabbed his acustic guitar and played it for him which changed his mind after he heard it .
The lead work and slide guitar is done by Jeff Beck one of the best guitarists, his guitar playing is way beyond anything that others do very blues and rock and abstract this man is in great demand. He is right up there with Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Richie Blackmore. Jimmy Page and Jeff were both in the same band together for a short while called The New Yardbirds.
Emilio Estevez had asked Jon Bon Jovi about doing a song for the movie and originally wanted "Wanted Dead or Alive", thinking it would fit close enough. But Jon offered to write a whole new song just for the movie and this was what they came up with. Truly amazing work!
This was for Young Guns 2. They Asked Jon Bon Jovi if they could use "Wanted Dead or Alive" for the movie. After he saw the movie he said that song wouldn't make sense and wrote Blaze of Glory specifically for them to use.
Technically, this is not the band Bon Jovi... they were taking a break after a 1989 tour. Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi recorded a solo album 'Blaze of glory' in 1990 for the 'Young guns II' movie... Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora recorded a solo album too in 1991. Thankfully, Bon Jovi reunited in 1992 for the 'Keep the faith' album.
I agree. I'm glad the band got back together. But either one of those guys could have made it as a solo artist. Richie would have done better if more people could have thought of him as "Richie Sambora", rather than "the guitar player from Bon Jovi".
In my opinion The first was much darker and real the second was more comical. I say this cause they were good men and the death of John made Billy turn dark and everyone else payed for it but they loved each are till death.
They don't play them at funerals. The songs that remind you of people is the exact kind of songs my sister and I set up with slideshows at each of our Grandparents' funerals. Songs they danced to, songs that reminded us of them, songs they liked, etc....
The first step forward in becoming a better pauser is admitting you have a problem. I'm proud of you Brad, you are willing to face this thing head on. You got this, keep your head up.lol
I just recently found your channel and what I like about it is you introduce the song and go straight into it.also I really like how the music moves lex and she gets the story
Jon Bon Jovi wrote and recorded a masterpiece. This song and the whole album really captures the whole essence of Billy the Kid in Young Guns 2. And we get to hear an epic guitar solo by Jeff Beck as an icing on the cake as well.
while listening to this track open a yt tab with a storm screaming through the rigging of a pirate ship; open another tab with an albatross screaming over all
I literally saw the title and thought "Awwwe sh*t, I'm goin' down the rabbit hole!"...with a bit of joyful glee lol. And I love my Sister rocking out over there! \☺/
What's really impressive is JBJ also did the backing vocals to blaze of glory as well! If you listen to the vocals only you can hear just how impressive his range is!
The makers of 'Young Guns' went to Bon Jovi and asked them to use his song "wanted Dead or Alive" for the movie. Bon Jovi said no but said he would write a new song specifically for the movie, which was really about Billy The Kid.
This is for the Young Guns II. It had Emilio Estevez, Lou Diamond Phillips, Keifer Southerland, and Christian Slater. It’s about Billy the Kid. My personal thoughts is I love both Young Guns movies.

Jon Bon Jovi was also in the movie for about 1 second, he raised up out of a hole and got shot and fell back into the hole.

"Music is to movies like food is to life. Necessary." Lex has the most quotable reactions.
It was beautiful. So relatable.
I'd say it's more like seasoning to food. It's what gives flavor, but you can survive without it.
Jon's vocal on this song still gives me chills every time I hear it
Brad: You want this played at your funeral?
Lex: No, cuz I'm gonna have Blue Oyster Cult 'Don't fear the Reaper, boy"
Best comment of the year!! Dam that's a fire comment!
I laughed so hard lol
Lex at your funeral when you want, “don’t fear the reaper” you have to demand more cowbell” watch the skit on able and you will understand.
Watch SNL Skit “cowbell “ sorry
I got a fever..... and the only prescription..... is more COWBELL!!!!
She's fearless
Lex always makes me smile when she reacts to these songs. She's learning what we 80's teens knew all along. Lol
I was a 90's teen, but I get what you're saying!
Lex is such a rock chick, love it.
The closest we can get to experiencing these songs again, she's so wholesome and also has a lot of good perspective on the bands they review
I loved this movie, and Bon Jovi totally did it justice
That entire album was a total masterpiece. So overlooked. Solo work by Jon Bon Jovi, without the regular band but with a "supergroup" of renowed artists like Jeff Beck, Elton John, Little Richard.
Young guns 2 is one of the best movies made.

I think it's his top song all time or at least was at one time so I wouldn't call it underrated
OK his number 1 solo song
I love how the producer made the snare shots sound like gun shots.

@@traceyaydon814 love the whole soundtrack but my favorite song was Miracle..
God, finally I have found others who agree. What a song!

John was Oscar nominated for his Young Guns 2 soundtrack.
You two should check out "I'll Be There For You," "Born To Be My Baby," and "I'd Die For You" by Bon Jovi.
Yes the song is from Young guns 2 I can't wait for Young guns 3 alias Billy the kid it's being filmed right now
Shame ya didn't do the video to this song, it's great
Agree.
LEX IS THE LIGHT OF THE VIBE
Bon Jovi's first song with some balls.
"Because we're in the spirit world, a**hole. They can't see us" YG1
Lex, feels the music. She comes out with the abstract & emotional response that fits the feeling. Brilliant!
Now this is Bonjovii do Wanted Dead or Alive next. I love to see your reactions when the music blows you away. Keep on reacting 👍

I could be wrong but I think the blocking occurs on official music videos (or mostly on), so doing lyric videos removes that risk/worry
"In these arms" is a great song, the whole Keep the Faith album is awesome..Bon Jovi into the 90's!!
So this was for the movie Young Guns 2. The producers wanted to use the song Wanted Dead Or Alive. But Jon Bon Jovi said it didn’t fit. So he said he would write a new song for them and ended up writing the whole soundtrack.

Songs to play at funerals are: "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum, or "Hi De Ho: by Blood Sweat and Tears. Such Fun songs!
Sort of surprised they haven't come across Spirit in the Sky yet, +1 for that one I know they'll appreciate it.
If you're doing Blood, Sweat, and Tears, I'd go for the Laura Nyro tune "And When I Die".
Brad. look at me. turn to your left. That delicate dish will never be dumped on.
Young Guns 2 is an awesome movie. Bed of roses by Bon Jovi is a great song too. Love your channel.
Bon Jovi nailed this song...love them or hate them....pure gold. Lex knows it. Keep that smile up....whew :D

You can never tell from looking at Brad if he likes a song or not. The same can't be said for Lex, you can definitely tell just from watching her reaction.
If you are going to watch young guns you should check out the movie tombstone which is amazing with many great actors and great lines.
Amazing song and movie. This is YG2 so you'll have to watch 2 movies to get the full affect. First one was better imo so you'll enjoy no matter what. Charlie Sheen before he was a Warlock on tigers blood

Well now you have to watch Young Guns 1 & 2! Classics!
This was for Young Guns 2. They Asked Jon Bon Jovi if they could use "Wanted Dead or Alive" for the movie. After he saw the movie he said that song wouldn't make sense and wrote Blaze of Glory specifically for them to use.

Thankfully, Bon Jovi reunited in 1992 for the 'Keep the faith' album.
I agree. I'm glad the band got back together. But either one of those guys could have made it as a solo artist. Richie would have done better if more people could have thought of him as "Richie Sambora", rather than "the guitar player from Bon Jovi".
Officially this was just a solo project for Jon Bon Jovi but Richie Sambora (guitarist for the band at this time) played on it and did backing vocals.
Young guns 2. Definitely a recemended watch. My opinion is the best if the 2. Emilio Estevez as Billy the kid. Awesome movie.
In my opinion
The first was much darker and real the second was more comical. I say this cause they were good men and the death of John made Billy turn dark and everyone else payed for it but they loved each are till death.
They don't play them at funerals. The songs that remind you of people is the exact kind of songs my sister and I set up with slideshows at each of our Grandparents' funerals. Songs they danced to, songs that reminded us of them, songs they liked, etc....
I love the sound of someone hitting a railroad spike.
I think what I love most about Lex, you can tell she can apperciate a song that will be a classic from jump, she has and ear for it
Your right!! Music feeds your soul!.
Long live Billy the Kid!
the movies are fantastic and the soundtrack , each song revolves around this movie. The soundtrack is fantastic.

Lex's Analogy about food compared to Music Notes is AMAZING!! She right on with that!! 💯❤️❤️😁
Young guns was an epic film. Loved it as a yoyungster growing up.
Just one of many great songs by Bon Jovi an iconic band
THANK YOU!!!!!! IM SO DAMN GLAD SOMEONE DID THIS SONG FROM YOUNG GUNS FIRST MOVIE!!!
y'all should listen to the 1996 concert from london especially hey god they rock the hell out of that song
The makers of 'Young Guns' went to Bon Jovi and asked them to use his song "wanted Dead or Alive" for the movie. Bon Jovi said no but said he would write a new song specifically for the movie, which was really about Billy The Kid.
Young guns 1 and 2 are both classics, well worth the watch
