I can't believe there's people on Earth who hates on this guy. I mean, he's human, not perfect at all but besides his talent, he's such a good soul, I think he helps people in a very genuine way.
Jon's affiliation with the Clinton's and supporting Hillary's campaign for the presidency explains a lot about why people dislike him or at least his politics. He adamantly hates Trump too..started over the bidding for the Buffalo Bills and swaying the city of Buffalo against Jon. Jon's a beautiful soul...but I don't like his alliance with the dirty Clintons and his anti-Trump sentiment. Hope that brings some light to your question.
If your friends with someone then its your job to support them whatever you agree with them or not .
@@dodgedabullet670 it does. That's why I don't choose if I like or dislike someone over topics like politics, religion or those kinda things. Everybody has a right to follow or support what they want. It's a shame famous people can't express their beliefs then as you and I are able to without being judged or hated.... It happens even within your family and I don't gonna hate them due to it. That's my opinion.
He' s a left-wing loon that's why. Not a thinker.
@@dodgedabullet670 i wish he would not Support The Clintons . And be a Trump Supporter because Trump is doing so much for the Americans and also for the World .i dont know if people yet know about the Clinton Foundation that they are Pedophiles
Jus Lovin this interview, LOVE BON JOVI + JBJ, Always… Thx so much for sharing it!!❤️🙏🏼❤️🌹❤️🙏🏼❤️
"Trying to find optimism in the hurt that makes you limitless." So true, Jon!!!
Jon has more than proven, he truly is a gift to humanity! Jons multi layers of talent and compassion with his wife Dorothea makes this world a better place. Thank you for the interview
Bon Jovi has such a powerful will and compassion in this world so that once came in my dreams and told me some numbers. O_O the next day I thought about those numbers and in the evening i looked at the Lotto extraction for that night and there they were ..the same numbers!! He wanted to help me win but I was too confused to play the numbers. Anyway BLESS his heart 🙏 his intention to help me survive in this world...
I think it's not only a great songwriter but a great human being. He has not let the trappings of Fame go to his head. I like that he's been married to the same wife since 1989. He seems to be a family man. No bad press. No faking his age. I do hope after his tour in 2022 that he can rehab his voice. Something was off with him and I'm hoping it's not something that can't be overcome. I remember Bon Jovi when they first came out. I've always loved their music. And they moved forward with the times. Still miss Richie even though he was the one decided to leave.
The key change is so EPIC, I can't imagine not having it. Who cares if you can't hit the notes now? We are left with a classic song with an amazing key change that also comes one beat early. Pretty epic stuff.
What a genuinely good human being Jon is. I’ve never really followed his music in the 80’s but I have a new found respect for him.
They released 2 albums in the 90s that were absolutely fantastic. Treat yourself and listen to These Days and Keep The Faith.
I’m a dyed in the wool alternative/indie music listener of the 80s/90s...was never into hair bands or glam metal...but Jon Bon Jovi is a class act as a human being and a very gifted songwriter. A cut above his peers.
BJ considered a hair band dear heart!
@@dodgedabullet670 He knows that. Comment meaning Bon Jovi was an exception. :)
How many hair bands are still writing and recording good, maybe even better songs, if they ever did?
So many interviews he looks like he’s had enough and is over it all. Refreshing here he looks....just real.
Poyda Poyderson because this was a great interviewer. Yes, very refreshing! (See my comment) you picked up in it too.
I’ve always loved Jon! Absolutely the BEST. The interviewer is impressive too-not like the norm.
I was impressed by the questions as well. Not cliche or typical. Seemed to put some thought into it 👍
Me too!!
He was like that all of his life. I went to Jr High school with Tom and even back then he was always out there thinking outside the box, being really involved in the music scene, running for student council, etc.. Really down to earth Newfoundlander.
@@andrewhayes88 Cool!
Andrew Hayes thanks for sharing that! 😀
Great interview! I’ve seen Jon get bored or annoyed during so many interviews over the years but I think he truly enjoyed this one. Thank you for asking great questions.
That was an excellent interview by an excellent interviewer. Thank you for not making this just another empty exchange. You really hit on some great topics asking questions that most interviewers of Jon do not, and it was great to see Jon light up in answering them. Great job!
Jon is very grounded for a celebrity. Sadly very few are.
Do you know him?
I tell you this guy is an example of how all of us should feel about the less fortunate in this world.
I love this guy, he has been my music hero since the day I saw him in concert in Detroit singing Dead or Alive in 1986 . He has brought a lot of joy to my life. Thanks John !!!
I LOVE YOU JON! I MISS YOU RICHIE!! Saw you so many times in concert and I wanna go back!!!
Absolute legend. At least he admits he can't do the key change. It's like Axl... he can't scream. I was privileged to grow up in the 80s and 90s. Thank the lord we didn't have social media back then!
Likewise✊😁best years to have been young
I've been very lucky to see jon and bon jovi in the 80s they were fantastic but they still are over 40 years and still selling out major tours not many bands can do that I do for one will always follow them now then and always
I still remember the reason I love music and it's because of It's My Life by Bon Jovi. Ever since then, I've been writing songs and all becauseI was inspired by Jon. So thank you Bon Jovi
Jon Bon Jovi is a real legend! Always clean and over performs! Love Jon!
I love this gray hair guy " that is ME" what a humble man! Jon Bon Jovi! First time I heard your music "Never say Goodbye " that time I told myself that I an fan of your band! ❤❤❤
Hearing always your music makes is my stress reliever... Always take good idol! ❤😎❤
Jon has an amazing soul. He is an amazing individual and I hope to meet him someday.
Dear Mr Bonjiovi. I foster dogs, and the last one I had was a German Shepherd. When he was put up for adoption so many people wanted him. But when a guy texted me saying he was an ex soldier with PTSD. Something inside me thought the dog should go to him.
So he came and got him he promised to love him and give him the best life.
Afterwards we kept in contact, and I told him about an ex soldier that I once knew who was homeless. I'm a paramedic and we had been sent to him for various injuries. Then one day we got a call that he had hanged himself. The guy who I had given my dog to replied 'You probably wish you had done more, but by giving me the dog you have saved another soldier from doing the same.' I just broke down, I had gone with my gut instinct and now they are a happy couple and he now has a reason to live. Aren't dogs wonderful?
michelle storey after reading this I don't think you realise how special you are
Fostering these helpless dogs finding them homes and the fact you think fully with your heart
Giving that soldier hope and something to focus on keeping him here on this earth I Thank you
A true Earth Angel ❤️
@@dreamstokeep Oh thank you so much.
Why are you talking about this here? You should post on a page about vets and homelessness...you'd connect better.
@@dodgedabullet670 Because Bon Jovi is donating the proceeds from the song Unbroken in the USA to provide service dogs to veterans with PTSD.
@mike derocco True.
Here is a my gorgeous friend Jon bon jovi I love you so much Jon with all my heart baby Brenda soares
Thank you for taking the time to make this interview. Jon, you have done more than write music. I have been on more than one occasion, in a bad shape mentally. Your songs have brought me back and are still keeping me optimistic.
Thank you so much Jon and richie, tico, david, alec and hugh. Stay safe guyd
JBJ sounds a very grounded person and really cares about his fans.
Such an inspiring, interesting and spectacular interview..... Such a down to earth realist 💯💯💯🙏🙏 So very humble after all these years.. Always your fan.. God bless Jon 🎉🎉🎉
Joyful music and positive and still cool is what we need... Come on even today Livin on the Pray 🙏 that key change what a Masterpiece
He is so right, he writes songs for a living. It's his job. His life with his wife and children is what is important.
"Wake up, we gotta do something here", such inspiring statement from an Icon, I hope all people who have more than enough resources thinks this way, then the World would be such more better place. Thank you Jon for continuing to stand and setting yourself as good example ever since, especially from your industry, Keeping your foot on the ground and not get swallowed by fame and fortune. God bless you and More power to you!
It's My Life ..... a great song that suits your style, keep it Jon
I was so fortunate to be a teen in the 1980s. This was my group !!!! Not because of the way they looked, because I truly loved the music. I've been a fan since Bon Jovi Bon Jovi their first album with she's a little runaway. And 7800 Fahrenheit second in 1985 I believe? I was 15 in 85 and the music was booming!!! In and out of Love, Burning For Love , silent night, and I absolutely loved it because Jon Bon Jovi sang in my key . the key of c 🤣😂 so I mean I would have bon Jovi blaring singing to the top of my voice when I was cleaning. On cassette tape of course in my boombox. No lie. Love the group and Jon's voice . To me and I'm not bashing any group but Sebastian Bach of skid row Vince Neil, of motley Crue , their voices always seemed as if they were so thin of substance . and when they would reach a high note or high cord it almost seemed like they were screaming the note . Of course slippery when wet. And New Jersey were both in my cassettes as soon as they hit the music stores that's a given. But as we grow older our voice is a muscle and just like all the other muscles in the human body as you age. It weakens and it also depends on if you smoked how much you smoked how much you drank ect. I love the fact he let his hair go gray and he doesn't do plastic surgery. The new stuff is good . I will always love the old stuff . I'm 50 now . And I'm still rocking to the old tunes. 🤣 And New.
Yes 7800 Fahrenheit came out in 85
I was a 80s teen too! Best time to be a teenager, we are very blessed to have grown up In such a fun & awesome era, I'm a 80s girl & always will be! 🧡💜💙💚💛
@@savedbyhisgrace7573 i Was 7 or 8 years old when Bon Jovi were on the Hair Metal Spot

Wonderful interview Jon, I now have a different perspective of you and the depth and devotion of your love for your craft, your intregity to follow through with hitting those higher notes even when you're not feeling your best. I respect your ability to uplift and become optimistic because this is your GIFT to humanity 💟 and so to give that gift, you have to be the Gift. GOD BLESS YOU my friend "ALWAYS"💞
he has such a presence
A very humble human being. Thank you.
Jon Bon Jovi is an inspiration. There was a phase in his life when writing love songs suited his style. Now he has moved on to social issues. There is a time in ones life for everything. Just like, in Hinduism, it is said that man goes through 4 phases in his life: Education, Being a Householder, Going to the Jungle, and relinquishing everything.
This guy is amazing. You are such an inspiration with your music and your life Jon. THANK YOU!
He is so wonderful and humble!!!❤️❤️😗
Thank you JBJ for your help!
I am totally impressed with both you and your family and wife!
Thank you it is not always what you were but what you are totally doing!
The next generation are the help we need!
I totally understand and love the next generation, because they understand more than we ever did!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
When you see a million faces and rock 'em all over 33 years...
We can't run from aging
And his voice too
HATERS ARE PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT DO ANYTHING I LOVE THIS GUY VERY MUCH GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY!!!
Integrity... It's like the secret sauce on top of mind-blowing music.
Integrity? Ok
Rock singer Legend JBJOVI forever 👍🤘🎸 bravo 🙏👏 thanks
Oh wow, I‘m impressed about his naturalness. He seems like somebody who stayed on the ground. What a pleasant man!
Find a band where everyone isn't in the media spotlight. He flies right & no arrest records, media reports of drugs, alcohol, etc. Very clean cut! Been a fan since their first album came out.
I never really listened to Bon Jovi growing up even though we are almost the same age. But I gotta say...what an AWESOME human being with a sweet, down to earth soul, Jon is. I SO enjoy his music today and can relate to just about every one of Bon Jovi’s songs when I go back in time. I look forward to hearing the newest album and, God willing, I would love to meet and pick his brain someday🥰
He is really amazing! My favorite Band is Bon Jovi! Jon is a great person❣️
Thank you you for being alive ❤️ I wish i was born in 70s or 80s so that my teenage years is ROCK 💖
What an amazing interview.
Both interviewer and Jon impressed me immensely.
Great pointed questions, particularly the key change in Living on a Prayer.
I actually opted to listen to this while working out instead of music.
Extremely good, thank you and well done 👍.
Agreed 100%!
A one of a kind!! The best of the best❤️
Jon you're such a loving caring man. You're hair color totally awesome it makes you are rocking it!!💕
He didn’t come from a spoilt childhood..that’s the difference and makes him a down to earth guy.
Just remember, there's a difference between having money and being spoiled. Kid down the road from me was spoiled as hell, but we were working class.
What a humble human being! Excellent conversation, not a typical interview
My heart goes out to you guys for all the pain want to take it all away luv your music and helps me so friggin much........
THANK YOU
You know this day and age people can't believe someone can be humble and authentic when you have sold over 130 million albums , like how many people in his position literally do dishes and help build houses , it's incredible.
Beautiful interview! Thank you for doing what You can, and do❤️🔥🤘🏼🎶🙏🏼 🥰
Great interviewer! Probably the best questions I've heard asked to Jon! And best reactions from Jon ! Thank you for sharing!
What a great interview. This guy did I great job as an interviewer. Props to him!
17:52 You’re welcome
Clutch 🐐
Thanks!
Thank you!
Haha thanks!
Legend thank you!
Great interview. JBJ . He is so down to earth and you can tell he was raised with morals and to be kind to others. I'm glad he's still writing and recording bcuz age is just a number. His gray hair is sexy and he looks so handsome. I'm happy he sticks to what he believes. One hell of a genuine nice guy that I wish was my friend. Wish I was closer, I'd ask to work in his restaurant as a volunteer. But Im not in NJ so I'll just keep listening to Bon Jovi's terrific music.
😊❣🎼🎶🎙🎹🎸🥁❣😊
He lost his hearing, and went along with the most common questions. And smiled.
When Jon says I think we're still on novocaine and we haven't seen the end results of Covid! Brilliant way of putting it and so very very true. And yes he is a thinker & empath that's part of what makes him a brilliant and resilient singer songwriter / Artist!
He keeps it real considering the workers and fans! I just love this!!!
Why can't we have political leaders think this way???💫
I wonder what it would be like to have him running for the president, instead of Kanye West..
“It’s not a outsize, it’s about connection.”- Bon Jovi
BRAVO Monsieur Jon Bon Jovi !! Que Dieu vous bénisse pour toutes les personnes que vous aidez🌟💖
Loved the song, Bed of rose's.
I see that humidifier going in his room next to him. I really like this guy and hope he’s healthy. It sounds like he has a little trouble getting 100% breath. I’m having to rebuild my body and we’re about the same age. Wish him well! Shows he’s sensitive and not living in a bubble. Pretty cool. It’s much harder to be honest about where the world is heading for our children. He’s a dad and you can really see how having a family has given him a true concern for the future.
Thankyou, I was wondering what the smoke was. JBJ is one totally awesome guy 😍🤩🥰🥰
Amazing outstanding beautiful human being Gracias Señor Bon Jovi

I once watched an interview with Jon saying how he doesn't listen to his own music (studio recordings) once they have been finished. And when he hears them years later, he's always like "oh thats how I sang that line" or "thats how the particular tune was played".
You can see him here bobbing his head about as he's listening and enjoying the moment.
Have such respect for u Jon ur a class act helping people 😁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
It was just on the news about world kithens....
So much love for the people
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH
Excellent hearts dammmm
Everyday and always soooo
Cool...
What a good guy! I hate that people are tearing him down on his new tour. He’s given great music for years and years and years and a few years back put on one of the best show s I’ve ever seen. So what he can’t sing like he did back then. Leave the man alone.
"LIKE FRANKIE SAID I DID IT MY WAY" - GREAT LINE FOR A SONG! I GOT IT - HOW DID RICHIE MISS THIS ONE!
Have always loved this guy, great artist, fantastic human, down to earth, brilliant interview 👍💖
Fellow Newfie here! Still home! Great vid.
It defies all human logic to not like JBJ. He just comes across as a genuinely good person who truly gets it when it comes to both the business and joyful aspects of making music. Not all are like him. He's won life in a big way no matter what happens now. American music has his fingerprints (and the band's) all over it for the last thirty plus years.
Be proud your music hrlped so manyyyyy people....
You might not realise
Thay and you have dance moves the energy from that so friggin cool....man you
Dont give yourselves enough
Credit but thats so much better not all big headed again luv all you guys
I truly love this guy
When my mom was in school she loved Frank Sinatra, scratched Frankie on the back of her ruler! Someone else called him Frankie! Jon you are awesome!
Love u so much, Bon Jovi! 😍❤🇧🇷
A really good interview with an awesome man.
love him so much from Pakistan 🥰
I pray with this man a lot so I'm going to wondering how he's doing and how he's dealing with covid God bless him so he's got great hair he's still one of the one of my best rock and roll musicians of all time him and Gene Simmons and everybody that I grew up listening to
I wish their was better changes. I keep trying to pray for it and I'm not seeing the changes I want. Id like to wish Jon luck.
Bonjovi one of the only 80s bands still surveyed and thrives and still can fill areanes or better ,while there peers are playing the nolstegia circuits state or county fairs clubs etc.They are lucky and have die hard fans with or without radio,they survied pop boy bands,rap,alternative,grunge,the loss of sambora etc.130 million records and counting.Some of their best work was in the 90s and sold very well also during the seattle scene
Great interview!
Brilliant interview! Really thoughtful and interesting questions and answers. Clearly well researched, and I felt Jon gave a very open and honest response and explanation to things. I absolutely love that key change, (And I personally do believe it's the best in the world of modern music to date) but I bet it's played hell with his vocal chords!
This guy is ALL CLASS
Everyone who does interviews needs to take lessons from this guy.
And the Frankie line is great.
i miss you ❤
As a teen in the 80's Bon Jovi RULED!!!
In 2021...HE (*THEY) STILL DOES
It was indeed a special time the 80's with all the big-haired rock bands being household names and making fun times for teens back then with the likes of Van Halen, Guns N' Roses, Def Leppard, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, Europe, Motley Crue as well as heavy metal bands with similar success such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Metallica.
Wow. Jon seems like a real soul. I wonder if he knows about the documentary "Out of Shadows"?
Key is something that he should change to make him song easier to sing. There's nothing to regret. Song is legendary.
What a man an an artist!!!
I love this man. Awesome interview
He is a good human being. June 8, 2024. USA
Jon Bon Jovi ⚘⚘⚘⚘
Loved this interview. I've been to a Bon Jovi concert and I know what his solution for the key change in Living On A Prayer. They start in a lower key now. Definitely a weird experience when you've listened to the recording hundreds of times. But you forget quickly because they are seasoned performers and are brought straight to the story.
Remains the best 👍😘❤
Really nice interview 👌
Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Frankie Valli, Dean Martin, all gave Italy a good name
