Exactly! Best place to see Peter using it is on Midnight Special, "Do You Feel Like We Do" and joe Walsh, Live From Daryl's House, featuring Joe's "Rocky Mountain Way"
@@allenwhitmer8192 yeah I remember him saying that. I think he might have only heard this song once or twice in his life especially since he didn’t remember who Tommy and Gina were. Now acting like he knows this song lol.
Jon Bon Jovi was definitely a beautiful boy. There is no doubt about it. And he's still beautiful to this day. Bon Jovi, Journey, Van Halen and Johnny Cougar Mellencamp were the absolute flavor of the day.
Bon Jovi is the sponsor of homeless shelters & programs for US veterans. Jon is New Jersey royalty. 😂 People thought Bon Jovi was just a throwaway hair band but they are still rocking today 😜
Jon Von Jovi is the sweetest most humble person a great human being, marry forever and a great dad. Open a restaurant in NJ to feed the homeless and anybody that goes there hungry, he goes in person with his wife and children to serve the people, do not charge even people that aren't homeless if they want to pay something to help feed the hungry.
They actually have 2 of those now! If they can't pay, they'll have them do some dishes or something, just to give them a sense of pride. They don't feel like bums etc...bcuz they actually earned their meal! I'm sure the ones who are completely handicapped don't have to!! And that is correct, through all these years & rock star life, they still remain married today!! Him & his high school sweetheart have been married 34 years!! You rarely hear that from people who didn't live that lifestyle! Amen!!❤
@@jewls9697The story of how he & Dorothea eloped on a sudden impulse & married in Las Vegas, but didn't tell anyone about tying the knot cracked me up. Nobody knew for quite a while that they'd gotten married. If I remember correctly, Dorothea was/is a Black belt in karate.
Man, you really need to do Bon Jovi 1989 MTV music awards performance. It kicked off and proved how awesome Unplugged could be and helped make MTV Unplugged become a successful thing proving acoustic performances of rock songs could be awesome. the performance starts with this song and morphs into Wanted Dead Or Alive
There are literally devoted women [that I know] in their 50's today who have followed Bon Jovi all over the world their entire lives and still do. Crazy shit. And they're "normal" people. Like hospital bookeepers, business owners etc.
Keep the faith, wanted dead or alive, lay your hands on me, bad medicine, it’s my life, lay your hands on me, raise your hands - the list goes on…… so many greats!
I have always loved "Have A Nice Day" and "Misunderstood" although I think Misunderstood is underrated...not enough radio time. They have SO MANY great songs though so it's hard to choose a fav
Some of his Best..."Bed of Roses", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "It's My Life", "This Ain't No Love Story", "You Give Love a Bad Name"...& I could keep going!!!!!
This dropped and the world went crazy , 20 million sales later and their next tour was in 60-70,00 capacity arenas , back in the day when you physically had to go to a record store and buy your album , these were great days indeed . .. Tommy and Gina are referenced in later tunes , definitely worth checking out more Bon Jovi . Bad Medicine , You give love a bad name , It's my life , Have a nice day , all great tunes
Im a 55 year old woman and I first saw Bon Jovi live in 1987, I've now seen them a total of 48 times (not a lot compared to many) but their energy on stage is as electric now as it was then. Long may they reign supreme 🤘🤘
Richie Sambora ( guitarist) was always my crush ❤ Love Bon Jovi so many bangers. Wanted dead or alive, Blaze of glory, always, I'll be there for you. bed of roses to name a few. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
And eyeliner. I never had any use for a man who couldn't rock some kohl on his eyes. I used to have a saying - "A man can never wear his hair too long or his pants too tight." Still true.
I saw these guys in 1989, pregnant with my 4th child! What a show!!!!! He flew around like that when I saw them! Those were the days when the joints just kept rolling down the row across the aisle and they kept coming and coming! I sadly had to just pass them on to my husband at this concert...lol...Jon Bon Jovi is the real deal, a real humanitarian, a genuine human being! Peter Frampton = talk back classic!
Im 63 now. I remember when this album came out and watching the videos on MTV. My friends and I were all in love with Jon. He was beautiful then and still is. He's still married to his high school sweetheart. Jon is very generous and gives back to less fortunate. Check out his Soul Foundation and Soul Kitchen.
This was my teenagehood! Bon Jovi encapsulates the 80s!! My senior class song was "Never Say Goodbye" ... so much amazing and timeless music came out of the 80s. I feel so lucky that I grew up during that time period!
Man, you couldn't go five minutes on the radio without Bon Jovi in the mid-80s. I'm a classic/hard rock guy & most of us said we didn't like the "pop rock", but we didn't turn the dial ..its good rock-n-roll. You are spot on BP, the chicks loved these guys, bonus for us when we had any of their songs on! So many memories cruisin the strip during the weekends, just jammin to great music. (You mentioned the talk box, if you've not done so you gotta check out Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like I Do"...the live version from his Frampton Comes Alive concert!!!😎🔥🤘
BP you nailed it. Bro I’ve seen Bon Jovi a lot in the 80’s. At these concerts, women out numbered us dudes almost 10-1. He was the best at being great looking, perfect hair, etc. Bon Jovi cut his hair when Grunge started. By 1995 he said he didn’t want to be known just for his hair!! True story. That’s why at first it may have thrown you off. His first album he was just 19. The rest is history. Please go back and play all his 80’s stuff. I graduated in 87’. His look was all the women wanted him and most guys wish they were him. Millions sold, unreal concerts. 🤘🏻💯🇺🇸
First, the hair the clothes..iconic. In every era, the artist pushed envelopes and then it became a mainstream way to dress. Women...Jon married his high school girlfriend in 1989 when he was 27. They are still married. In his documentary, he talks about the other women but came back and married his girlfriend who l8ved him before he was a Rock God. That lovev1 story makes him even more attractive-
Me too! One night in Pensacola, FL, and then next night in Tallahassee! Back in the day when I could go 48 hrs with no sleep and not turn into a zombie. Sigh.
I went and saw Bon Jovi in Starkville, Mississippi in 1986. Cinderella opened up for them. It was one of the best concerts I ever attended! I loved the "Hair Bands" growing up!
I saw them the following night in Biloxi!! Such a great show - packed like sardines in front of the stage and sweating til you could wring out your clothes. What a great time to be 17!
For forty years, my life theme song was Wanted Fead Or Alive... then it switched to Don't Come Lookin'. 😮😊😅 as to the pants and boots, you should check out Dwight Yoakam. 😂😅😂😂😅 love Bon Jovi!
I’m telling ya the 80s was the best time to be a teenager! As much as I hate getting old I wouldn’t change a thing! All my teen years were in the 80s and everything was great! My generation had the best of everything!
Peter Frampton did not invent the talkbox, Pete Drake introduced Frampton to it when both were recording for George Harrissons "All things must pass", Pete Drake used it since the 60's with his pedal steel
In 2010, these guys were my first real rock concert, AND THIS SONG WAS INSANE TO HEAR LIVE! Jon Bon Jovi is one of the greats in terms of frontmen, and is easily one of the humblest rockers you will ever meet. He and his mates grew up in a poor, working class New Jersey city, and has seen hard lives first hand. As a result, Jon has donated almost 15% of Bon Jovi's earnings to Habitat for Humanity. He is a true philanthropist and a true heart. You want a song that celebrates that AND is a kicking rock-country song? Watch "Who Says You Can't Go Home?", a song that donates all profits to Habitat for Humanity
this show live was AMAZING! they play to everyone not just the front rows. at their next concert they had a giant catwalk that came down and walked to the very back of the arena. seen em twice. LOVE THEM LIVE!
My youth, I went to all the concerts when he was in my hometown of Munich/Germany. My favorite was always the song Wanted Dead Or Alive... the guitar riff... I love it!
I had such a crush on him when this came out lol... hey, BP you might check out a band called One Republic... they have so many hits. One of my favorites is called "Stop and Stare".. the older I get the more the words mean to me, it's deep.
One more suggestion... "Never is a Promise" by Fiona Apple... the live version.. she wrote the song at 16, she plays it live when she was 19... just incredible.
Bon Jovi are the only band in history to have 3 videos reach a billion views on UA-cam from the 80's, 90's and 2000's, you have now reacted to 2 of them so next up should be "Always", it's a really great song!
I was so happy when he did. I used to try to picture all the big hair long haired guys with short hair to figure out if they were cute. I was 12 when this album came out but was crushing hard on JBJ.
There was a time when we were able to be close to the band, and they didn't have to worry about things being thrown at them. They didn't want Jon to let out that he was married but he was so sweet and humble it really didn't matter. Richie was gorg also!! Loved Bon Jovi
As a Jersey girl this was our anthem, still gets played to this day when we going down the shore, for all you not native to Jersey that means going to the beach 😄😉
You are so correct there, BP!! At 70, I can look back on my own music history. Each one brings it's own memories of the times I had in my life when I was down and out and music always saved my sad butt. Now I get to see the reaction of you young ones to the stuff that I grew up listening to. I love your facial features Black!!! Brings back the youth in me. Thank you so much!!!
Bob Jovi was my aunts favorite band and we couldn’t go anywhere without her playing and singing all of Bon Jovi’s songs. The last song I heard her playing was Blaze of Glory. She passed away a couple of weeks later. John Bon Jovi was around 24 when Living on a Prayer came out.
Whaaaaat WHAT!!!!! The year was 1987, my family took a little road trip/vacation to New Hampshire up north to see the mountains. I was 8 years old. One of the things my mom and dad loved doing on road trips was finding a candy store. We’d all go in and the family (we didn’t have much money) would share a white paper bag full of different treats. My dad that trip took some fudge back to the hotel. On the drive back, he took out his pocket knife and cut 5 even slices of the fudge for us all to try. He placed the knife back into the paper bag until we got back to the hotel. On the drive, this song was playing on the tape deck. Back at the hotel my dad used one of the hotel towels to clean his fudgey knife off. As we were all getting into our pajamas, my dad says to my mom. The hotel maids are going to see this towel tomorrow and say “Hey Wanda, LOOK, there’s SHIT on this towel!” Oh how we all laughed as we went to bed. My mom and dad were really cool parents who were very much in love. Almost 30 years later, this song reminds me of that trip, the song remains the same. Unfortunately my mom and Dad got divorced along the way and our tight family was never the same…..
Jon is 1 year and 6 days older than me. His first album came out when he was 21 - 1984. I was a junior in college. Perfect timing! Yup, he was just the way we liked the guys then, long hair & tight pants! Love this song! I wish I'd seen him in person back then. He still looks great, and he's 🎉🎉🎉a very humble and kind person! Trivia - Jon has done quite a bit of acting. In particular, he was on Ally McBeal as her love interest. OMG! I lived through her. He's such a great talent, and SO handsome. Thanks for the review. ❤ 🎉
Believe it or not, the talk box was invented in the 1930s. The first I heard it was Peter Frampton's "Do you feel like we do?" I saw Robert Troutman in an interview saying he liked the effect and decided to use it in his music. I think he used it in more of his music than Frampton. And, of course, "California Lovin." One of my absolute favs!!
The1Mommalau, Yeah, I thought it was Peter that brought the talk box into the limelight, made him stand out! Frampton Comes Alive, great album, played it to death,lol.
Livin' On A Prayer is one of those greatest of all time songs that is also 100% a feel good song. "Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear." I mean how could that lyric be anymore inspirational.
richie sambora is on the talk box.he wrote the music jon wrote the lyrics. this was the first song/video i heard of from bon jovi in my early teens in the uk. it was then that i knew i fancied jon and still do! esp since he turned out to be such a nice guy with solid head on his shoulders.so glad he's still here and didn't pass from any of the usual silly things rock stars do. yes i;m sure they had plenty of fans after them but jon had his high school sweetheart dorothea. they have 4 grown kids.one of his sons jake just got married to brit millie bobby brown from stranger things.
Talk box was for rock guitar masters! React to: Peter Frampton: Do You Feel Like I Do (live Midnight Special) Joe Walsh (formerly Eagles) Rocky Mountain Way (live from Daryl’s (Hall) House)
I saw them in concert when I was 20 - we had front row seats (granted no one was sitting) - he reached out and grabbed my hand. I just about died and swore I would never wash that hand lol - They were one of my very favorite groups and still are
I just watched your reaction....I saw this concert live back in Jr. High School. It was AMAZING ‼️‼️‼️ The flying over the crowd..... EPIC !!!! Saw them again in High School and that concert was amazing as well !!! And yes, Jon Bon Jovi was in his 20's in this. ❤
To me personally this is the greatest rock song. The radio gets turned up when this comes on. 💜 the other guitarist is Richie Sambora he does the talk box.
They wrote this together with Desmond Child who also wrote "I was made for loving you" for Kiss, but also worked with Cher, Bonnie Tyler and Aerosmyth, he also cowrote "You give love a bad name". Jon Bon Jovi was 24 when this song was released.
This tour was my first concert when I was 12 yo. back in 88. I thought they were the greatest thing ever when they went flying over the crowd, lol. Still one of my favorite bands. Great reaction!! 😊
I saw them in their prime at Cincinnati Gardens with 3 other girlfriends. Too awesome! "Dead or Alive" was their finale. We were standing on our seats practically the whole time dancing! This song brought the house down. Such memories! ❤
talk box is completely different from auto-tune. Talkbox connects to the guitar and you can use the guitar notes along with your voice to create different pitch sounds.
Bon Jovi is my all time favorite. I saw this show live. His entire Blaze of Glory soundtrack is amazing. Great lyrics. These Days album is so good. Stick to Your Guns. Blood on Blood. So many greats!
This has been one of my favourite songs since it was released. You Give Love a Bad Name, Blaze of Glory, Wanted Dead or Alive, Lay Your Hands on Me are all amazing songs from the 80s and Keepthe Faith, Bed of Roses from early 90s, all must listens.
It's been in my top ten all time songs from the very first time I ever heard it. When they hit the chorus everyone sings along. Great driving song on a trip. I can play it like ten times in a row and sing along with the chorus. Keeps you awake on a long trip. Same for Radar Love.
This was my first concert. Maybe 16 years old. Cinderella opening for Bon Jovi New Years Eve in the Meadowlands NJ. 16th row floor and he flew right over my head. Great introduction to live music.
![American reacts to Posts That Prove American's Think That Only They Exist [part 2]](/img/n.gif)
"YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME" AND "BLAZE OF GLORY" BANGERS !!!!
Blaze of Glory is 🔥 My faves are This ain’t a love song and Always
❤❤❤
❤❤❤😂 Young Guns! Don't get me started... 😂😅
@@michelecox5241, I loved the young guns!
Check out the group Switch and their songs, There'll Never Be and I Wanna Be Closer.
Bon Jovi is 62 now so yes he was in his early 20s when this came out
Same age as me. I grew up listening to these guys.
I cannot overstate how big this single was when it dropped. An atomic bomb in the popular zeitgeist whose impact resonates to this day.
The talk box has been around a long time. Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh were masters at it.
Exactly! Best place to see Peter using it is on Midnight Special, "Do You Feel Like We Do" and joe Walsh, Live From Daryl's House, featuring Joe's "Rocky Mountain Way"
Man, I was just coming here to say this!!
@@suecook1326Yes!! Both epic performances!!
So was mick Mars
I think he actually called Peter Frampton up, and borrowed it.
Jon Bon Jovi thought this was a throw away song. Guitarist Richie Sambora told him he was crazy and fought for this song.
How could that be when Jon Bon Jovi wrote it about Reagan trickle down Economics.
@@jasonzartman9182 there are many sources where Jon says he wasn't impressed with the song and Richie told him he was crazy, that's a hit
@@jasonzartman9182 Just because he wrote it doesn't mean he thought it was good.
@@jasonzartman9182 More like Bidenomics. He was predicting the future.
Richie was the bigger talent, no?
The '80s wouldn't be the '80s without Bon Jovi!
Absolute Facts
The joy I felt when they revisited Tommy and Gina in "It's My Life" 😃
Yeah, I remember BP said "Who's Tommy and Gina?"
@@allenwhitmer8192 yeah I remember him saying that. I think he might have only heard this song once or twice in his life especially since he didn’t remember who Tommy and Gina were. Now acting like he knows this song lol.
They were young, this was the 80s. Next, Wanted Dead Or Alive, official video.
Jon Bon Jovi was definitely a beautiful boy. There is no doubt about it. And he's still beautiful to this day. Bon Jovi, Journey, Van Halen and Johnny Cougar Mellencamp were the absolute flavor of the day.
Amen sista!! 🥰🥰
Bon Jovi is the sponsor of homeless shelters & programs for US veterans. Jon is New Jersey royalty. 😂 People thought Bon Jovi was just a throwaway hair band but they are still rocking today 😜

😂 That's just one of the many reasons why we 80's rock chicks were so happy! 🤘 That's guitarist Richie Sambora on the talk box 😍
Well, he crowned Steve Perry as "The Voice." Shows Jon's musical taste is impeccable.
Yes, Freddie Mercury said the same!
@@amberrose8756 No he didn't, that is just a ridiculous rumor.
I am 62 years old and I believe Peter Frampton was one of the first big name bands to use the Talkbox
Sweet emotion by Aerosmith was before Frampton
Sweet emotion was ‘75, Joe Walsh used in ‘73, Frampton in ‘74
The first high-powered talk box was developed by Bob Heil.
I'm not that old but I remember!! Idk if y'all know who this is, but I had a big poster on my wall of Leif Garrett!! 😂❤
Man, you really need to do Bon Jovi 1989 MTV music awards performance. It kicked off and proved how awesome Unplugged could be and helped make MTV Unplugged become a successful thing proving acoustic performances of rock songs could be awesome. the performance starts with this song and morphs into Wanted Dead Or Alive
That was incredible. I still watch it to this day.
Yes please!
There are literally devoted women [that I know] in their 50's today who have followed Bon Jovi all over the world their entire lives and still do. Crazy shit. And they're "normal" people. Like hospital bookeepers, business owners etc.
I am one lol😂
At 56, I have been a dedicated Bon Jovi fan since Day One, and will be til my dying day.
I’m 58 and still think he’s the sexiest man EVER
@@kimgouge7120he’s still gorgeous
I have friends that go to every Bon Jovi concert that comes to town (I'm 52). I love Bon Jovi.
Keep the faith, wanted dead or alive, lay your hands on me, bad medicine, it’s my life, lay your hands on me, raise your hands - the list goes on…… so many greats!
Great list. Each one is a must.
Bed of roses MV!!!!! A slightly older Bon Jovi highlights his vocals and artistry!!❤❤❤
I have always loved "Have A Nice Day" and "Misunderstood" although I think Misunderstood is underrated...not enough radio time. They have SO MANY great songs though so it's hard to choose a fav
Greatest talk box performance was Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do"!!!!🎶🎼🎵
Their new documentary is amazing! Jon was so far beyond his time!!! Great reaction!
Yes, I second that. I think the docuseries is on Hulu. It’s very interesting.
@cerisewilson4088 it is on Disney Plus and Hulu I think as I am a Canadian it is on Disney plus
Where can I find the documentary? Thanks.

Jon Bon Jovi was around 24 when this song came out. Hair bands were it back in the 80s..hair, tight pants, rockin..so many pretty boys to crush on❤❤

Saw them 3 times in concert back in the day.
Incredible shows.
Check out Wanted Dead or Alive. No body pays guitar like Richie Sambora!
Peter Frampton used the talk box. You should listen to - Do You Feel Like We Do, I think from the early to mid 70's on the Midnight Special.
He just did that reaction 3 days ago....It's on his channel! 😊
I'm glad you mentioned the talk box. Peter Frampton invented it. He's an underrated guitarist. BON JOVI ROCKED IT.
Bob Heill in vented the Talkbox which was first used by Peter Drake who introduced it to Peter Frampton.

I had a friend with a Pontiac Sunbird!! Were we friends!!!!😂
The cassette? 😆
@@alexanderwarby-cooper3549 back in the day instead of having CD players in your car you had cassette tapes. 😂
@@dinaarmymom9145 I still do 😳👀
1986...he was about 24. I went to this concert in Albuquerque...it was my first concert. I was 16...definitely one of those 'best times'
My youth, I went to all the concerts when he was in my hometown of Munich/Germany. My favorite was always the song Wanted Dead Or Alive... the guitar riff... I love it!
I believe Jon was 24. Bon Jovi -" It's My Life" - Like Frankie said, "I did it my way" a reference to Old Blue Eyes.
I Remember When this song 1st came out back in 1986 and I was hooked on it!!!
I had such a crush on him when this came out lol... hey, BP you might check out a band called One Republic... they have so many hits. One of my favorites is called "Stop and Stare".. the older I get the more the words mean to me, it's deep.
One more suggestion... "Never is a Promise" by Fiona Apple... the live version.. she wrote the song at 16, she plays it live when she was 19... just incredible.
YES!!! This was one of my requests! LOVE IT!!!! Now you gotta react to "Wanted dear or alive" or "Bed of roses" by Bonjovi
Wanted dead or alive 👍
For what it's worth, I really like your new studio setup better!
Bon Jovi are the only band in history to have 3 videos reach a billion views on UA-cam from the 80's, 90's and 2000's, you have now reacted to 2 of them so next up should be "Always", it's a really great song!
'you live for the fight when that's all you've got' - such powerful lyrics
I remember crying when Bon Jovi cut his hair!!! lol Also, he used to sneak into Nashville and sit in the back of some small bar and take notes!
🤣🤣🤣
I was so happy when he did. I used to try to picture all the big hair long haired guys with short hair to figure out if they were cute. I was 12 when this album came out but was crushing hard on JBJ.
@@tsblonde510 Yes JBJ and Steve Perry!
Their concerts were the best time!! Singing every word to every song, so many memories. Love your reactions!
Such a great band. Living on a Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name, honestly the whole Slippery When Wet album is 🔥 🔥🔥.
You need to add Radar Love by Golden Earring to your driving list.. one if the best road songs...Bon Jove always rocks!
There was a time when we were able to be close to the band, and they didn't have to worry about things being thrown at them. They didn't want Jon to let out that he was married but he was so sweet and humble it really didn't matter. Richie was gorg also!! Loved Bon Jovi
As a Jersey girl this was our anthem, still gets played to this day when we going down the shore, for all you not native to Jersey that means going to the beach 😄😉
You are so correct there, BP!! At 70, I can look back on my own music history. Each one brings it's own memories of the times I had in my life when I was down and out and music always saved my sad butt. Now I get to see the reaction of you young ones to the stuff that I grew up listening to. I love your facial features Black!!! Brings back the youth in me. Thank you so much!!!
The only rock band I saw in concert. He’s a beautiful man. ❤
I was 18 when this came out. Loved the 80's!!!!!!❤
Guitarist Ritchie Sambora was married to tv darling back when, Heather Locklear...
Bob Jovi was my aunts favorite band and we couldn’t go anywhere without her playing and singing all of Bon Jovi’s songs. The last song I heard her playing was Blaze of Glory. She passed away a couple of weeks later. John Bon Jovi was around 24 when Living on a Prayer came out.
The video is a fun look at rehearsal and then show...good times back then
Whaaaaat WHAT!!!!!
The year was 1987, my family took a little road trip/vacation to New Hampshire up north to see the mountains. I was 8 years old. One of the things my mom and dad loved doing on road trips was finding a candy store. We’d all go in and the family (we didn’t have much money) would share a white paper bag full of different treats. My dad that trip took some fudge back to the hotel. On the drive back, he took out his pocket knife and cut 5 even slices of the fudge for us all to try. He placed the knife back into the paper bag until we got back to the hotel. On the drive, this song was playing on the tape deck.
Back at the hotel my dad used one of the hotel towels to clean his fudgey knife off. As we were all getting into our pajamas, my dad says to my mom. The hotel maids are going to see this towel tomorrow and say “Hey Wanda, LOOK, there’s SHIT on this towel!”
Oh how we all laughed as we went to bed. My mom and dad were really cool parents who were very much in love. Almost 30 years later, this song reminds me of that trip, the song remains the same. Unfortunately my mom and Dad got divorced along the way and our tight family was never the same…..
Jon is 1 year and 6 days older than me. His first album came out when he was 21 - 1984. I was a junior in college. Perfect timing! Yup, he was just the way we liked the guys then, long hair & tight pants! Love this song! I wish I'd seen him in person back then. He still looks great, and he's 🎉🎉🎉a very humble and kind person!
Trivia - Jon has done quite a bit of acting. In particular, he was on Ally McBeal as her love interest. OMG! I lived through her. He's such a great talent, and SO handsome. Thanks for the review. ❤ 🎉
Believe it or not, the talk box was invented in the 1930s. The first I heard it was Peter Frampton's "Do you feel like we do?" I saw Robert Troutman in an interview saying he liked the effect and decided to use it in his music. I think he used it in more of his music than Frampton. And, of course, "California Lovin." One of my absolute favs!!
The1Mommalau,
Yeah, I thought it was Peter that brought the talk box into the limelight, made him stand out!
Frampton Comes Alive, great album, played it to death,lol.
underrated bass line. love it.
I saw it live when I was 16. I'll never forget it. They ROCKED!
Livin' On A Prayer is one of those greatest of all time songs that is also 100% a feel good song. "Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear." I mean how could that lyric be anymore inspirational.
richie sambora is on the talk box.he wrote the music jon wrote the lyrics.
this was the first song/video i heard of from bon jovi in my early teens in the uk.
it was then that i knew i fancied jon and still do!
esp since he turned out to be such a nice guy with solid head on his shoulders.so glad he's still here and didn't pass from any of the usual silly things rock stars do.
yes i;m sure they had plenty of fans after them but jon had his high school sweetheart dorothea.
they have 4 grown kids.one of his sons jake just got married to brit millie bobby brown from stranger things.
Talk box was for rock guitar masters! React to:
Peter Frampton: Do You Feel Like I Do (live Midnight Special)
Joe Walsh (formerly Eagles) Rocky Mountain Way (live from Daryl’s (Hall) House)
Exactly !!! used many times before Sambora’s use in Bon Jovi .. Staple for some guitarists in the early to mid 70’s ..
Bon Jovi shows were always amazing… especially the Slippery When Wet tour
Graduated high school in 89. We all had hair envy. lol. Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Warrant, White Lion, Cinderella. So many more.
I saw them in concert when I was 20 - we had front row seats (granted no one was sitting) - he reached out and grabbed my hand. I just about died and swore I would never wash that hand lol - They were one of my very favorite groups and still are
I just watched your reaction....I saw this concert live back in Jr. High School. It was AMAZING ‼️‼️‼️ The flying over the crowd..... EPIC !!!! Saw them again in High School and that concert was amazing as well !!! And yes, Jon Bon Jovi was in his 20's in this. ❤
To me personally this is the greatest rock song. The radio gets turned up when this comes on. 💜 the other guitarist is Richie Sambora he does the talk box.
They wrote this together with Desmond Child who also wrote "I was made for loving you" for Kiss, but also worked with Cher, Bonnie Tyler and Aerosmyth, he also cowrote "You give love a bad name". Jon Bon Jovi was 24 when this song was released.
This tour was my first concert when I was 12 yo. back in 88. I thought they were the greatest thing ever when they went flying over the crowd, lol. Still one of my favorite bands. Great reaction!! 😊
I saw them in their prime at Cincinnati Gardens with 3 other girlfriends. Too awesome! "Dead or Alive" was their finale. We were standing on our seats practically the whole time dancing! This song brought the house down. Such memories! ❤
talk box is completely different from auto-tune. Talkbox connects to the guitar and you can use the guitar notes along with your voice to create different pitch sounds.
I have followed many reactors and you are by far my favourite! Your reaction to our Aussie icons is awesome 😊
Bon Jovi is my all time favorite. I saw this show live. His entire Blaze of Glory soundtrack is amazing. Great lyrics. These Days album is so good. Stick to Your Guns. Blood on Blood. So many greats!
This has been one of my favourite songs since it was released. You Give Love a Bad Name, Blaze of Glory, Wanted Dead or Alive, Lay Your Hands on Me are all amazing songs from the 80s and Keepthe Faith, Bed of Roses from early 90s, all must listens.
It's been in my top ten all time songs from the very first time I ever heard it. When they hit the chorus everyone sings along. Great driving song on a trip. I can play it like ten times in a row and sing along with the chorus. Keeps you awake on a long trip. Same for Radar Love.
This was my first concert. Maybe 16 years old. Cinderella opening for Bon Jovi New Years Eve in the Meadowlands NJ. 16th row floor and he flew right over my head. Great introduction to live music.
Bon Jovi was a star in the mid 80's....this tour was huge!
