I've been obsessed with Bon Jovi since I was 17. My love for them hasn't waned. Great to see recent interviews. Hes so interesting and honest. Can't wait for their documentary. Best 3 concerts I've EVER been to. No other concert compares. Bon Jovi fan forever!
He has nothing left to prove. His health is paramount and he should spend time with his family and friends. Legend 4ever ✨
Wow, I was just watching an interview that Conan did with Jon Bon Jovi in 2007. It's so interesting to see how the both of them have grown. I saw the Jon Bon Jovi band a few times. Back in 2013 at Gillette Stadium. It was the song "You want to make a Memory" that I sang to my wife Patti two days before she passed from breast cancer. I was listening to " Lost Highway" as I visited her over an 11 day period back and forth to the hospital, this was in March of 2009. I've been meditating, every day, twice a day, for 45 years now. As a vocalist, I sang 30 to 40 songs a night for 18 years a few time a week, my vocals really got worked. When I meditate, the neck area can spasm at times, releasing the stress and strain as my body goes into a deeper state of rest than deep sleep. I would love to teach Jon meditation if he dosn't already know. It will reallly help the vocal chords. God bless him and his band as we look forward to his new series "Thank you/Goodnight" covering the last 40 years work.
I've been a loyal fan of Bon Jovi for the whole 40yrs. I was 6yrs old when i got their first album titled Bon Jovi. I have every single album, single and video they've ever made including the rare ones, now even my 8yr old son loves their music. I've been to concerts when I was 8mths pregnant with my now 12yr old son and I really hope I get the opportunity to take my youngest who has severe learning disabilities aswell as other complex needs to at least one concert before Bon Jovi really do decide to quit for good. 😢😢😢😢
loves this interview! A gift to fans
No matter what, there's always going to be a song that speaks to you. I've never disliked any of their always
Love this man. I think Jon is too hard on himself. We love you Bon Jovi! ❤
Listen to your heart like Conan did; it will guide you. Let it take you higher.
I really liked the 2020 album. Real artists write about what is on their minds. It isn't hearts and flowers all the time. I would rather hear something meaningful than bubblegum pop music any day of the week.
Conan had a really good question. “Do you have someone, who you go to and show your song, for honest opinions?” I think it's super important.
He goes to Billy Falcone
@@KeithDaviesMusic try John shanks. Then shanks goes yes boss best song ever written.
I love his hair
It's fake lol
Both him and conan were balding by the late 90s now somehow they have full hair lol
@@mikedavis8008 It's not fake. Don't be stupid.
I love 2020, JBJ! Great topic album.
When you write music you enjoy rather than trying to chase hits, the fans will enjoy it too. I love their new stuff just as much as their old stuff; it’s different, it might not be for every fan, but I enjoy it for what it is and some of those new songs and their messages have got me through lots of highs and lows.
You’re right. I used to think, “Aw, this or that band ain’t what they were.” Of course they’re not, right? It finally dawned on me in my 50s that none of us are what we once were. Jon’s working hard to get his voice back to the best it can be for a guy in his 60s and I’m so glad he is. But yeah, I really like the latter albums from my 70s - 90s bands. Took me a bit to come around that different doesn’t necessarily mean bad.
Can Jon Bonjovi sing and make a song for James Bond. ? This would be great !!
Bon Jovi is huge, they don't need hits to prove themselves. They made history
Also they don't need to ruin their legacy with some average "lemonade" songs 🥱☹️
But bon jovi has hits on every single album they have put out .and brand new song legendary is already a hit has over 1.9 million plays in a week or so so its hit ..
Yeah, Bon Jovi were killer.
From Fahrenheit to These Days.
Great songwriting, phenomenal live shows.
What he's doing now is cringeworthy.
Sad...
Agree 💯 an evening with BJ is an epic show. My son (12) just learnt how to play Wanted dead or alive on a Fender guitar, made me proud as hell!
Watching the documentary right now
Where
It's coming out next month on the 26th.
Yeah but you said your watching it right now
Wrong documentary. That has to be "When We Were Beautiful" from 09.
Cheers buddy
I loved 7800° Fahrenheit but they didn't like that album and rarely play any songs from that album - SAD !
When I first bought that cassette, I played it on auto reverse with no skipping songs. One of my favourite albums.
In and Out of Love is one of their best songs ever. It's an absolute shame.
I agree and Only Lonely - it is a shame that they cursed that album like it was never released 🙁@@44CJW
@@44CJW I agree! Love that song and love the video even more. Also love only lonely and silent night ❤
wow his has really changed
Ahh come on Jon one more Slippery when Wet feeling album lol
Id be happy with a crush sounding album.
Well, I liked Bon Jovi but it was the epitome of "chasing hits" Rock band. It is great to hear, though, that JBJ can now afford to not needing to do that anymore.
They didn't have hits until they got Desmond Child to co write their songs, so clearly that was what they were going for.
@@Nathan-gd7xq I did not know about Desmond's involvement with Bon Jovi. Yeah, that explains everything. Thank you so much for the info.
Always Perfection from BON JOVI 🎸 FOREVER is going to be a PLATINUM ALBUM 💿
Maybe in the States, for us in Europe I doubt😮
Dale a tu cuerpo alegría Macarena, John
Macarena is a light flamenco- Sevillana style pop rumba, very syncopated and with a catchy Melody and rythm, and funny lyrics.
I have a degree in Music Composition , and its billion dollars hit for a reason.
Cheers from Spain!
😍
Please don't chase them but try to write them. The stuff over the last 13 years is just like a songwriter rinse and repeat. I wish he would just be jon bon Jovi again. Quit trying to be bono, Springsteen and Dylan. You have written so many great songs in the past. Dry county alone is epic.
100%
I agree with you. I like some of the songs even on the newer albums, which are more interesting musically, but the songs they've picked as singles over the last 15 years are so generic. Of course Bon Jovi was never a progressive rock band, but man, they had "Dry County", "These Days", "Hey God" as singles. Geez, even "Bed Of Roses" didn't really have the typical pop song structure. So if Jon says he's not interested chasing hits anymore, then he shouldn't be pumping out these radio-friendly singles.
Get John Shanks out of the band!
John shanks destroyed that band, ever since he got involved it turned to manure
@@wheres_bears1378 yep. If anyone watched when we were beautiful documentary, David, tico and Richie all in nice ways, say the obvious. David, said it's good enough to stay, not bad enough to leave. That sounds like well what else am I gonna do.
I cannot believe he’s got gray hair
He’s been totally grey for at least the last ten years. Perhaps longer lol.
That's not real look at his hair in 97 98 he was going bald
@@mikedavis8008 you are talking absolute BS
He's IS 62 you realise?
@@mikedavis8008 Nope
Was Conan interviewing John or himself?
I like Conan. He’s great. But c’mon man let your guests speak!
Yep he keeps making it about himself
Unfortunately he's not interested in rocking hard either anymore 🙄. I mean, honestly the last six seven albums are just insufferable. Dude, you're not Springsteen, Bon Jovi the band's roots are in playing hard rock, "hair" metal. Last great album was Keep the Faith, and that was varied, but also rocked.
These Days was their last good album .
These days was my favourite album. But I do like bounce and lost high way
Who are you to say what is good or not? It's music man, enjoy it or don't listen to it. There is no good or bad here.
@@denniskrottje012I’ll say what I like. I’m entitled to my opinion. If you don’t like it then 🖕🏻 off 😁 lol
Cuz he is Rich and has a lot of Money that’s why
Conan makes every point about himself
Wish I had Conans hair
No. No, you don't.
I wish I had hair. Jon's, Conan's...hell, at this point I'd take Trump's hai.....😐😑😐.....you know, I'm doin' okay as is.
It's not real he was balding by late 90s that's hair transplant
@@mikedavis8008 Do you feel the need to point that out on every single comment ? We get it. It's your opinion man, go away now 🙄
When you want a hit you call in the pros like Desmond Childs.
God damn Desmond is so talented, he helped Bon Jovi and Aerosmith write a lot of amazing hits + a bunch of hits with a bunch of other well known artists.
Bon Jovi have had a lot of hits without the pros being involved too.
Or Max Martin.
Desmond child and Max Martin the 2 most important songwriters in pop/ Rock music
Why do their heads seem so big?
man Jon really needs to stop smoking cigs...it really ages a person
He looks great for 62 you know ? It's the obsession of bein lean at all costs that shrink faces like this. Somebody said that a certain age, you must choose between a lean body or a nice face...
@@ArmandQ. yup i understand that but he's been a smoker for years too
Bon Jovi is looking like an old woman these days.
Strangely that's what I thought at first, like on older italian lady for some reason...🙄
Alice Cooper soo needs to retire.
I couldn't disagree more, chase hits.
That garbage 2020 album wrecked his legacy in my opinion. That, and more than one embarrassingly bad tours!🤷🏻♀️
I was a HUGE fan, but stopped buying albums after that shit one that Richie was still on.
It got even worse after that, so I don't even listen anymore.
@@sarge9733albums including Keep the faith I am listening to on a daily basis. All after trying to listen was like taking lemonade after good brandy, there was a song over and there but nothing worth of memories.😢
Yeah 2020 was rubbish album
His legacy cannot be wrecked, there are too many good songs in the catalog.
Jon Bon is officially cooked. Let the legacy ride into the sunset.
He recently had vocal cords surgery, he sounded definitely better on the last live show, although he says it's still not 100% healed. Might get a bit better in the future, ho knows ?🙄" officially cooked" is something people have been saying for most part of a decade. Get on with the times.
Their last two albums were not good. I defend this band, but I want Tommy and Gina not Do What You Can and wear a mask.
I call bullshit. Jons rewritten prayer at least a half dozen times. If i have to hear another 'new' bon jovi song about how an aging multimillionaire has done it tough but done it his way , stuck it the the man and shown the world im gonna puke.
Born to follow is basically born to be my baby - just sing one chorus over the other...
And now EVERY song they release sounds the same, its all bland grandpa pop youd hear in a dentist waiting room. You can litterally chop and change different songs together and you can not tell the difference...
True
Meh. Don’t listen then. I like the new stuff and the message of positivity it sends. Idc if it doesn’t apply to Jons life, it speaks to me.
@@OfficialAshArcheryour a saddo that’s why😂
Don't give the AI ideas.
@@OfficialAshArcher you're entitled to like it, just as I'm entitled to call him out on cutting and pasting bits and pieces of his old catalogue to write 'new' songs that are all in the key of monotone.
Jon BON Jovi IS THE NUMBER ONE FAN OF JOE BIDEN!!! WHAT A SHAME!!! Jon BON Jovi . 😢😢😢
Versus the Orange stain
Jon owes his career to his rich dads connections
His dad... who was a marine and then a barber?? Yeah, big money there.
JBJ seems like a great guy but it blows my mind that people take him seriously as an artist. Slippery When Wet was a joke when it came out at the same time as actual good albums by R.E.M., U2, Prince, etc. One of the reasons Guns & Roses debut (also from '87) was so successful was that it was a refreshing hard-rock antidote to shlock hair metal like Bon Jovi, Poison, Motley Crue, etc.
Well, Jon Bon Jovi was able to grow out of that hair-metal thing, both in terms of image and music. He went from "You Give Love A Bad Name" to "Dry County", and the latter is an epic song that doesn't have to hide from anything U2 or R.E.M. ever did. Jon is also a smart businessman who thinks ahead. No offense to Guns 'n' Roses, but if you're being completely honest, they still rely on only two albums to this day and self-destructed their career back then, whereas Jon was able to keep a band together for a long time.
@@aleccopile big guns n roses fan but yeah 37 years out this year and only 4 studio albums.
I like almost every band you mention including Bon Jovi.
Slippery when whet newer sounded like a joke to me, its not my favorite Bon Jovi album now, but it was a great album at the time for me.
Bon Jovi`s melodies and harmonies got to me more than the lyrics and there wasn't any other band that sounded like Bon Jovi.
Jon and Richie sounded amazing when singing together. Poison had one song i really really liked but other vice i always looked at them as Motley Crue wannabees.
Ill admit that i forgot Bon Jovi a couple of years when Guns & Roses showed up on my radar but then came Jon`s Blaze of glory album and Bon Jovi`s keep the faith and Bon Jovi was back on my list again for good. Jon had incredible power in his voice in his prime.
We got some different tastes i guess.
Blaze of Glory, Keep the Faith, These Days, Destination Anywhere-all epic albums that cemented his legacy as an artist.
What you consider “good” is subjective. You are mentioning very different types of bands. I see rock, hard rock, pop, alternative🎉🎉 rock, and hair metal represented in your examples. Hair metal was very different than the other aforementioned genres, and I surely never thought of Bon Jovi as being in the hair metal camp as you’re saying. The hair was there, but it stopped there, lol. Their songs definitely classify as rock to hard rock with some occasional elements of metal and pop. They really don’t sound the same as most hair metal bands.
Anyway, Bon Jovi and JBJ have clearly stood the test of time. Not really sure why you’d have trouble with anyone taking Jon seriously as an artist . . . but then again, you mentioned Motley. Motley sure as heck isn’t a band to take seriously. They were a huge joke, and they can’t even play their instruments or sing live anymore as witnessed by thousands of concert goers who have captured footage of tons of proof. Bon Jovi members are not doing that. Their songs really tell a story that people can relate with. They aren’t simplistic catchy rhymes of hair metal fame that sound like a grade-school student wrote about their first boyfriend/girlfriend while in the 4th grade, lol. As a guitar player, I can attest to the fact that the musicality of the chords are complex and interesting rather than being boring open chords on repeat. The riffs are complex and unique.
I don’t know what you’re missing about Bon Jovi, but they sure as heck aren’t a laughing stock like Motley. I would agree that REM and GnR have incredible material, and their music is definitely more similar to what Bon Jovi has done. GnR is more Hard Rock to Metal, and REM is more alternative and rock . . . but ppl who like those bands will typically enjoy Bon Jovi, and are usually not huge hair metal fans with the exception of a handful of songs like “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “Scool’s Out for vs
But the over point is that I just don’t see how you can say Bon Jovi is merely “Shlock hair metal” when they only looked the part ever so slightly for a couple of years in their entire career, their music catalog doesn’t sound anything like hair metal and would classify as rock/hard rock, and their the musicality level of their songs are complex with really thoughtful lyrics (that aren’t kitschy and gimmicky like Motley, Poison, Ratt, Twisted Sister, et al.). You can’t just toss Bon Jovi in with the hair metal boys. Totally different animal.
I'm sorry, say again?
New Jersey was last album that was good from bon jovi. Keep the faith not bad but..new jersey last good album.
These days is last best
