My favorite song of Bon Jovi. It's too bad that it's not part of their greatest hits like it deserved to be. It's heartbreaking & unfortunate when you fall in love with someone who doesn't know you exist.
If I recall correctly, this is the ONLY song in the entire (decades-long!) Bon Jovi catalogue for which Jon is not credited as a song writer. Apparently the studio forced him to include this song on the album. So, I'm not surprised that it's not included on any Greatest Hits compilation, as I wouldn't imagine Jon would be too fond of it...
@@HYBRIDFINN According to the Wikipedia page, it says that they don't like to play songs prior to 'Slippery Than Wet', which they consider their breakout album. That and the fact that he did not write it are two reasons it slipped into the ether. Sad...this is my favorite Bon Jovi song and I was lucky to hear it when they headlined in the late 80's.
I stayed up all night watching MTV, just waiting for this video!!! But of course that is when MTV actually played the videos!!!!! Give me a time machine
That was my grandparents restaurant my grandmothers feed him about 1 am after the recording and he had the Martha special they always talked about what a nice man Bon Jovi is…
My husband and i went to a Bon Jovi show on their Slippery When Wet tour in Little Rock Ar. It was so awesome. They kicked ass. My husband passed away in 2013. We'd been together since I was 16 he was 17 in 1984. We went to so many great concerts. I miss him so much and those incredible times.
I have put my family thru the 7th level of hell and to their credit, they never gave up on me. For some reason, your comment just want to admit that. I don't know if I would have done the same if my wife was the trainewreck instead of me for many years.
@@scottlosey4978 say your sorry and mean it look em in the eyes then move on. Love them cherish them. In an instant they can be gone. And you can be all alone. Love is forgiveness. Love is stronger than death. Make memories every day. God bless you and yours
I think what made the 80`s so good was no mobile phones.We would wait in anticipation for an album to be released.Then take pride in owning it and play until the tape wore out.And yes it was and still is real music from real talented bands.Not youtube and tic tok Muppets.
It was a great time when you listened to the entire album!!!!!! unheard of nowadays. With instance gratification without having to hear the rest of the album
I saw them open for the Scorpions in the summer of 1984! It was my first concert ever at the ripe age of 14, and I was front and center! I barely knew who Bon-Jovi was. I was there for the Scorpions, but when JBJ took the stage...he immediately took control of the entire Savannah Civic Center...seriously! The Scorpions years of experience, is the only thing that kept Bon-Jovi from blowing the Scorpions off the stage that night! I saw and thought, the same thing that Richie Sambora said he thought when he first saw Jon perform, which was..."yep, this kids a star". You just knew they were going to be huge! It took 3 albums, but they finally got there! I have been a true fan ever since that killer summer!
a clark I saw them on the same tour - I was 16. Show was at the Allentown Fairgrounds - we came over from Jersey. You could tell most of the crowd didn't want to accept them, prob cuz they were Jersey kids. Didn't matter - I (and many others) knew they were about to become huge after blowing through a fast, heavy version of "Runaway" on the stage that night.
Rosemont Horizon right outside Chicago 1984 ,Richie Sambora guitar solo is what sticks out in my memory ,the Scorps totally rocked though,I already had this album so it was a bonus having them open up that night
@@viking8359 yeap. A lifetime! Have accepted the fact that his voice is almost gone… but he has given us decades of great songs and great performances.. and the whole band. and he’s still gorgeous 😍
People that were teens in the 50's... were in their 40's in the 80's... so they were going trough their own little bit of nostalgia. Even "Back To The Future" sent him back to the 50's.
@@mincerstephen9137 Every decade does, but that nostalgic trend doesn't usually last more than 10 years or so. Pop culture has been going through 80s nostalgia since the 2000s and still hasn't stopped to this day.
A lot of people think “slippery when wet” was when it all started, but the prior albums really showed their raw talent and had some great music a lot of people don’t even know about.
I agree with you about this Bon Jovi song. I think it's underrated. It's one of my favorites also. Two other songs I really like by Bon Jovi that didn't get a ton of air play or love by most in the 80's are Silent Night from his Fahrenheit LP and On the Edge of a Broken Heart from that silly Disorderlies soundteack.
It's one of those songs that everyone thinks is so underrated...but you'll be surprised of how many if not millions listen to the songs that never made to the top" per say"....they hold a special place in our hearts even more than the ones " overrated"
1984, 39 years ago. To put that in perspective, listening to this in 1984 was like listening to something from 1945. Which blows my mind. And yes I do, I like Glenn Miller and Helen Forrest etc :) I vivdly remember having this on a cassette taped from my brothers vinyl, and listening to it walking our dog on a crap walkman thing with the worlds worst bright orange headphones. Earbuds were not yet invented. Not sure which I miss more, our dog (and I still do) or the 80s :) Wish I could go back!
We need more good parents like yours! My Mom discovered Bon Jovi when she was channel surfing and Bed of Roses had been released. She fell in love with Jon. She was mid-sixties at the time. She declared Bed of Roses had to be played at her funeral. November 28, 2007 she went to heaven at the age of 81 while listening to the song. Her husband of nearly 66 years, my older brother, myself were with her at home. Her dog children Sadie, Haylie, (dachshunds) Gracie, a black lab and my dachshund, Caitlin-Sadie's twin, were on the bed with her and it was very peaceful. Purely by chance the inside of her casket there were pink roses. We didn't even notice that she was laying in a Bed of Roses until visitation when someone who knew of her love of Bon Jovi pointed it out! Plus her favorite roses were pink! The song became what her 2 dachshunds, Sadie Dawn and Haylie Marie (a.k.a. Damnit Haylie) also were listening to it when they went to the Rainbow Bridge to meet her and my Dad who passed away a year after Mom. I discovered that Bon Jovi comforted them as they were VERY use to hearing Bon Jovi's music. Gracie Lynn though passed away at home in her sleep so she didn't have it played as her death was sudden. They both were great parents. I only wish everyone had the parents we did. If you enjoyed our story please give us a like. 🙂
Fun fact: this is the only song in Bon Jovi’s entire catalogue that wasn’t written by someone in the band. It's written by Mark Avsec of Donnie Iris & The Cruisers fame. He originally wrote it for someone else but it ended up going to Bon Jovi to help push their first album.
@@steveanderson1058 No need to disrespect the band. Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora are both in the Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside fellow legends Desmond Child, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, the Gibb brothers, John Williams, etc...
No shit!! No wonder I like it so much.. I always preferred Donnie Iris over Bon Jovi.. both great bands sure.. but Donnie Iris never got the amount of fame Bon Jovi did but he's not done too bad
I recorded this video in 1987. I was 16. I wasn't happier than now. I don't think that 80's music is better than the music kids listen today. I just developed my taste in music and my taste in men in the 80's and never changed.
This video is classic! The jeans,, the hair, the $20.00 wardrobe lol. Jon was in a class of his own, I always call him "angel face" because that is what he was/is. SO incredibly beautiful, take me back to the 80's please!
Such a magical era of music. For all the sh*tty aspects of my life over the years I will never be ungrateful for being born in 1960 and growing up during the greatest decades of music ever. This is my favorite song of their catalog ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was so lucky my generation was when guys wore us girls some tight Levi's and boots. That is one fine looking man. Still a very handsome man as he gets gray with the rest of us.
And now the tight jeans are back in fashion , since they came back I don’t wear my old loose jeans no more, they look stupid on me , and we wore these for years , all I need now is the boots , got the jackets ,
FYI: The woman of interest in the video is actress Beth Toussaint. (she plays both roles in video) She also appeared in Bob Seger's "Like A Rock" and "Big Mistake" by Peter Cetera music videos. Additionally, Beth has appeared on Melrose Place, Matlock, The Young & Restless as well as Cheers.
This is their best tune and video. Just some good old boys playing some rock and roll. No glam or fancy outfits, just honest music from the heart. Love it and always will!
I never lived in the 80s, but if the most "pop" artists were the likes of Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Whitesnake & MJ, then it sounds like a magical decade for pop music.
Damn those jeans Jon and Richie are wearing... I'm 53byears old snd I still rock out to Bon Jovi!!! I took my daughter Ashley to see Bon Jovi in 2007 and we had a blast. We were so close we can see the soles on their shoes.
What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried Still it's so hard for her to notice I've tried hard to be straight There's nothing left I can say If only she would look my way [Chorus:] She don't know me, she don't know She don't see me, she don't care She can't hear me, can't hear Can not help me, she don't want She don't want me like I want her Like I wan't her got to tell her Got to tell her that I love her That I love her She doesn't even know my name I dream of when she'll be mine I dream of crossing that line And holding her so tender Dreaming it could come true So many things I would do If only you'd give me a chance [Repeat chorus]
I agree, I think he is still handsome for his age. People keep saying he’s looking old, but what makes him still so handsome is that he is growing old gracefully, no surgery when he could of done that.
Definitivamente esta canción no la escribió Bon Jovi dudo mucho que en toda su vida alguna chica le haya dicho que no. Igualmente es una hermosa letra y él la interpreta de maravilla. Ojalá la volviera a cantar en sus conciertos.
This song/video was what made me a Bon Jovi fan and I have bee one for 36 years now. This is my all time favorite Bon Jovi song. Forever and always a fan.
Like wise bought my first record at 13 still a fam now at 53 and can count myself lucky I have seen them live where they really do shine never disappoint with ever penny waiting for them to come Scotland so I can see them once again
It was definitely filmed in Benicia, CA. The restaurant was called Tia Theresa and the bar was the Brewery. Right off of First St. I grew up in Benicia, and still live here.
I simply LOVE Bon Jovi ❤️ The start of the ORIGINAL skinny jeans fashion!! 😉Ahhh, 80's & 90's music just takes me back to simpler times, SO different from today!!!! Jovi Girl 4 LIFE 🤘💯
This is my favorite Bon Jovi song, love it❤❤❤ I miss the 1980's with all of my heart 😢 It was the most beautiful and happiest time of my life. Time machine please take me back, one way ticket please❤
Music is a reflection of the times and situations. Well gen x...we truly and will 4ever be remembered as the best decade of music and life. WE ROCK ALWAYS!
Oh my! It was 1984 when I saw this for the first time on MTV. It’s how we viewed new music groups.I remember thinking how gorgeous this man was and what a voice he had. I was twenty one years old. I wish I could go back to that time. Music was just something so different back then. Artists actually had talent.
I'm 49 now, when i watch these old videos it takes me back to those days. I was fortunate to grow up in a semi wealthy family that always took photos and video. My wife has seen them all and is amazed that i had the " Big Hair" like the 80's Rockers. My buddies and i back then rocked out, we were not the best by far, but we rocked the local area with what we had, good times. I still get the rush with these videos. 80's forever in my heart...............
jay mcquaid Omg same here! 8mm when we were baby’s to vhs as we got older. Ppl are always shocked to see how my entire life has been documented lol. Btw, I’m 49 also :)
I was into Bon Jovi in the 80's and early 90's. I saw them open a few shows for other bands and then I saw them as the headliners twice. When he was out there for Biden... I almost threw up...... Come on Jon...
I'm 59 and this is the first time seeing this video. 😂🤣 Don't know how I missed it back in the day! I do remember the song though. Good vintage Bon Jovi.
Really??? Have you heard him sing lately. Absolutely awful. It’s so bad that most people are begging him not to go out on the road again because his voice is shot.
yes exzactly.bon jovi is far more attractive than most women models as they need surgery..Bon jovi knows that beauty is skin deep.He has so much more to give to us all..All round talented guy.beautiful on the inside and out.
I love this song and the video is burned on my brain from the early 80's. They cut the scene at the end where the the girl in the floral dress points the gun. I totally don't get that. Such a great memory either way. 80's kids had it the best.
Yeah he could off but there's much more to jon tgan his looks truly one of the best songwriters out there and shout out to him for all yhe great charity work feeding and providing housing to those less fortunate than himself thankfully he didn't just rest on his looks
@gillianmcbean6799 well... he always said he wanted to be taken seriously as a musician and not a pretty boy...but then did the pretty boy thing every chance he could...
Song brings back so many memories after graduation 1981 and I went to Kansas just to get away from my hometown and I heard a song a few years later and it came out at a perfect time and I will never forget this song or the person I was with at that time
I'll add a little to that-I think the best music was from Van Halen's first one in 1978 to about 1991 with Guns n Roses Use Your Illusion. And that's not to say there wasn't a lot of great pop music in there too.
Kids like us being young and to hit that era the wonderful 80,s at that time in life is the best when we were in high school.im 55and only prussume that your my age or close to Madelyn.so rock on sister.peace.
Being a native Jerseyan as I am, these guys REALLY made me proud to be from there, no question about it! I knew these guys when they were smalltime, not much...now EVERYBODY knows 'em and they came from a small town in south Jersey called Sayreville, New Jersey! :-) BON JOVI ROCKS!! :-)
Here in Brazil we're taught that the correct grammar form to say the simple present is "She doesn't know me". When we see a native speaker saying "She Don't Know Me" we get confused. Could someone please reply me what is the correct form ?Thank you
Flyershockeypride I am originally from North Brunswick. Got married, started a family and bought a house in Sayreville. I'm not positive where he lived but it's funny when I'd say to someone that I lived in Sayreville. They'd say "Ohhhhh BonJovi! Did you know him?!" Lol not knowing that Sayreville is pretty big. Lol
Here in Brazil we're taught that the correct grammar form to say the simple present is "She doesn't know me". When we see a native speaker saying "She Don't Know Me" we get confused. Could someone please reply me what is the correct form ?Thank you
@@471mauricioin terms of correct grammar, you are absolutely correct. However, in terms of song title catchiness and actual beauty of the song with the way it's phrased and sung, "she don't know me" is much more lyrically pleasing to hear when sung than "she doesn't know me." Hence, the the slang usage of it.
Wow, what a great memory lane video, I still remember the day I saw this, when MTV was actually Music video's and entertainment stayed in their lane.... Richie Sambora, what a hottie.... Love Bon Jovi, heck the whole band was hot.... I miss the 80's...
I’ve stuck with the band through all the years I’m alive. Been a fan from the minute I was born but gotta say all that stuff that came before slippery still hit me good even after all this time. Love it.
I saw Bon Jovi @ Nashville North, Taylorville Illinois before Slippery When Wet came out. Venue meant for country groups. Front row. He sweat on me!!!! Showing my age, product of the 80's and proud of it!!!!!
Olá bon Jovi aqui quem fala é o Erick de Belo Horizonte eu particularmente adoro essa música e queria um dia conhecer vocês ou ir em uns dos seus shows e de quebra pegar um otografo de vocês tchau feliz natal e um próspero ano novo de mais sucessos 🎉🎉 Brasil

@@kawasakiwhiptwo5821 wrong it is Beth Toussaint as the original post says
This is their best tune and video. Just some good old boys playing some rock and roll. No glam or fancy outfits, just honest music from the heart. Love it and always will!
Such a underrated song, im shocked this wasn't a massive hit

ボン・ジョヴィっていい曲ばっかりだよね
Song was shot in Benicia , California and all of us from the bay area were there while they shotting such fond memories.
Oh my how I do miss these days? Thank you Jon for sharing your gift and your passion with us. We all love you. Never ever forget that!
I never lived in the 80s, but if the most "pop" artists were the likes of Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Whitesnake & MJ, then it sounds like a magical decade for pop music.
Kevin Cheng it was great to be alive then. music was great
This is not pop this is glam metal.
Trads Um, no it’s not! It Rock... plain and simple.
Ok.:)
But I think that is more pop than rock.It's pop-rock.
Damn those jeans Jon and Richie are wearing... I'm 53byears old snd I still rock out to Bon Jovi!!! I took my daughter Ashley to see Bon Jovi in 2007 and we had a blast. We were so close we can see the soles on their shoes.
What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried
Still it's so hard for her to notice
I've tried hard to be straight
There's nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way
[Chorus:]
She don't know me, she don't know
She don't see me, she don't care
She can't hear me, can't hear
Can not help me, she don't want
She don't want me like I want her
Like I wan't her got to tell her
Got to tell her that I love her
That I love her
She doesn't even know my name
I dream of when she'll be mine
I dream of crossing that line
And holding her so tender
Dreaming it could come true
So many things I would do
If only you'd give me a chance
[Repeat chorus]
Thank-you very much for your Lyric information.
Dedicated this song for Faiza Novas 2211🙏
Thank you so much for sharing..👌👍👍
Bob Jovi had many big hits but I really believe that this is the one that opened doors for him
Agree, this one showed what this band could do.
He's 61 and still looks so handsome.
I agree, I think he is still handsome for his age. People keep saying he’s looking old, but what makes him still so handsome is that he is growing old gracefully, no surgery when he could of done that.
You are not going to like what is going to coome out about all famous people.
Glad those pants didn't hinder Jon from having kids later on :))
No one wore them better though! ;)
Kkkkkkk
Come on.. it looked like he was smuggling a tube of chapstick lol
But they helped with the high notes
@@robertchandlerjr5672 a tube or a 4-pack tube ;)
この曲にオリジナルがあると初めて知る❗️
ホントに今でも大好きな曲⭐️
Back when music was music
Definitivamente esta canción no la escribió Bon Jovi dudo mucho que en toda su vida alguna chica le haya dicho que no. Igualmente es una hermosa letra y él la interpreta de maravilla. Ojalá la volviera a cantar en sus conciertos.
No la escribió Jon, es la única canción en toda su carrera donde él no participó en la composición de la música y no escribió la letra tampoco.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Yeahh fantastik,song,sound,back,sing,show,band,play,vide-clip!!
This song/video was what made me a Bon Jovi fan and I have bee one for 36 years now. This is my all time favorite Bon Jovi song. Forever and always a fan.
Like wise bought my first record at 13 still a fam now at 53 and can count myself lucky I have seen them live where they really do shine never disappoint with ever penny waiting for them to come Scotland so I can see them once again
My first Bon Jovi song and video. I fell for Jon and his music ❤
I miss and love Bon Jovi in the 80’s and I wish they played this song more.🩷Love🩷
Jon bon Jovi is class ,not only gave his name to the band.but is a great singer...
It was definitely filmed in Benicia, CA. The restaurant was called Tia Theresa and the bar was the Brewery. Right off of First St. I grew up in Benicia, and still live here.
the sensitivity in this power ballad is intense! early brilliance from this band
No! I don't know You. You remain a enigma. My favorite mystery. ❤
This is the first video I saw on MTV of Bon Jovi. I fell in love and still do. I'm 67😊❤
What a voice 03:37!!! Great Bon Jovi era 80's
I simply LOVE Bon Jovi ❤️ The start of the ORIGINAL skinny jeans fashion!! 😉Ahhh, 80's & 90's music just takes me back to simpler times, SO different from today!!!! Jovi Girl 4 LIFE 🤘💯
The Canadian tuxedo with a small wife beater cowboy boots and that pretty smile you're awesome Jon bon Jovi
This is my favorite Bon Jovi song,
love it❤❤❤
I miss the 1980's with all of my heart 😢 It was the most beautiful and happiest time of my life.
Time machine please take me back, one way ticket please❤
I have same opinion with you.
I feel just like you do 😢
Yes!
@@kimberlymayes4061 That's greatest.
@@tommitchell4570 Thank-you very much.
Music is a reflection of the times and situations. Well gen x...we truly and will 4ever be remembered as the best decade of music and life. WE ROCK ALWAYS!
Oh my! It was 1984 when I saw this for the first time on MTV. It’s how we viewed new music groups.I remember thinking how gorgeous this man was and what a voice he had. I was twenty one years old. I wish I could go back to that time. Music was just something so different back then. Artists actually had talent.
RIP Alec John Such!!
I'm 49 now, when i watch these old videos it takes me back to those days. I was fortunate to grow up in a semi wealthy family that always took photos and video. My wife has seen them all and is amazed that i had the " Big Hair" like the 80's Rockers. My buddies and i back then rocked out, we were not the best by far, but we rocked the local area with what we had, good times. I still get the rush with these videos. 80's forever in my heart...............
jay mcquaid Omg same here! 8mm when we were baby’s to vhs as we got older. Ppl are always shocked to see how my entire life has been documented lol. Btw, I’m 49 also :)
I was into Bon Jovi in the 80's and early 90's. I saw them open a few shows for other bands and then I saw them as the headliners twice. When he was out there for Biden... I almost threw up...... Come on Jon...
I read his biography. Man did he put in his time to get noticed... Glad he kept trying, or we would have never heard these amazing songs...
Who wouldve known these guys would go on and be one of the biggest bands in the 80s after this song and album.
They knew.
I'm 59 and this is the first time seeing this video. 😂🤣 Don't know how I missed it back in the day! I do remember the song though. Good vintage Bon Jovi.
Bon Jovi just gets better and better. Oh how Ioved growing up in the 80s.🤩🤘🏽
Really??? Have you heard him sing lately. Absolutely awful. It’s so bad that most people are begging him not to go out on the road again because his voice is shot.
Love this song,remember seeing the video and saying...This is what i want to be...Not exactly,but still a great memory...JBJ Rocks!!!!
Freue mich wenn Jon nochmal nach Deutschland kommt. Nocheinmal Jung sein wäre mega schön
David's face didn't change at all!😍
This is my all time FAVORITE Bon Jovi song...!!!
Exactly, I feel that this one is underrated.
+Nedyah74 Mine, too.
yes exzactly.bon jovi is far more attractive than most women models as they need surgery..Bon jovi knows that beauty is skin deep.He has so much more to give to us all..All round talented guy.beautiful on the inside and out.
This one and Runaway are the top of his👍
Remembered my old boyfriend-Lance
I love this song and the video is burned on my brain from the early 80's. They cut the scene at the end where the the girl in the floral dress points the gun. I totally don't get that. Such a great memory either way. 80's kids had it the best.
Jon was like a male model that actually had talent, he could have made it on his looks alone.
Yep
Yeah he could off but there's much more to jon tgan his looks truly one of the best songwriters out there and shout out to him for all yhe great charity work feeding and providing housing to those less fortunate than himself thankfully he didn't just rest on his looks
@@gillianmcbean6799 He's a good soul for sure.
@gillianmcbean6799 well... he always said he wanted to be taken seriously as a musician and not a pretty boy...but then did the pretty boy thing every chance he could...
@@jasonl1942 I guess if you looked like he did in his prime it would be hard to avoid.
I miss that time so much! That feeling, it doesn't exist in this time...
Blame it on John shanks
Sn nostalgic age.
Song brings back so many memories after graduation 1981 and I went to Kansas just to get away from my hometown and I heard a song a few years later and it came out at a perfect time and I will never forget this song or the person I was with at that time
j'adore ce groupe depuis des années
Best decade of music in my humble opinion is 1979 to 1989
I'll add a little to that-I think the best music was from Van Halen's first one in 1978 to about 1991 with Guns n Roses Use Your Illusion. And that's not to say there wasn't a lot of great pop music in there too.
Kids like us being young and to hit that era the wonderful 80,s at that time in life is the best when we were in high school.im 55and only prussume that your my age or close to Madelyn.so rock on sister.peace.
Miss the 80's so much. 😢 I wanna go back. Best music and decade ever. ♥️
agreed!
Being a native Jerseyan as I am, these guys REALLY made me proud to be from there, no question about it! I knew these guys when they were smalltime, not much...now EVERYBODY knows 'em and they came from a small town in south Jersey called Sayreville, New Jersey! :-)
BON JOVI ROCKS!! :-)
Here in Brazil we're taught that the correct grammar form to say the simple present is "She doesn't know me". When we see a native speaker saying "She Don't Know Me" we get confused. Could someone please reply me what is the correct form ?Thank you
You show the "correct" form, but the form used in the title is idiomatic, or colloquial usage ;)
Flyershockeypride
I am originally from North Brunswick. Got married, started a family and bought a house in Sayreville. I'm not positive where he lived but it's funny when I'd say to someone that I lived in Sayreville. They'd say "Ohhhhh BonJovi! Did you know him?!" Lol not knowing that Sayreville is pretty big. Lol
The introduction of the song they play without feeling is enough. Bon Jovi is different.
Jon's face at the end is hilarious. He's thinking "Are you kidding me? She's been following me this whole time?" 🙂😍❤😂
Con esta canción me convertí en el mayor fan de bon jovi... 2019 y todavía disfrutando esta joya ... saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽
David Sitt somos 2
Unfortunately, this song reminds me of the most intense crushes that I have ever had that never came to fruition. I still love the song though.
Still one of my favorite Bon Jovi songs.
Being the boy just wanting to ask HER, for a dance
This nocturne is so mellow and fabulous.
I want to be back in the 80s

Hell yea
@@471mauricioin terms of correct grammar, you are absolutely correct. However, in terms of song title catchiness and actual beauty of the song with the way it's phrased and sung, "she don't know me" is much more lyrically pleasing to hear when sung than "she doesn't know me." Hence, the the slang usage of it.
ME TOO.
MTV Flashback Friday March 22 1985 VJ is Alan Hunter VHS tape 6 hour uncut
Happy Anniversary to Bon Jovi,40 years of career this year,glad to see him live in the 90's
Time is our worse enemy when it comes to life. Love to turn back time and go back to this Era of music. Love bon jovi forever
Wow, what a great memory lane video, I still remember the day I saw this, when MTV was actually Music video's and entertainment stayed in their lane.... Richie Sambora, what a hottie.... Love Bon Jovi, heck the whole band was hot.... I miss the 80's...
OMG I miss my youth. Always listening to this song before I go to school, now I'm fifty and still listening to it with a smile
they filmed the video in my little town of Benicia California I was 14 and the hill he was walking down was one block from my house
Teresa Murphy how lucky
+Teresa Murphy
SWEEEET!
+Teresa Murphy I love your sleeping cat.
Guess they needed a windy place!
No they used a wind machine for that
I’ve stuck with the band through all the years I’m alive. Been a fan from the minute I was born but gotta say all that stuff that came before slippery still hit me good even after all this time. Love it.
I saw Bon Jovi @ Nashville North, Taylorville Illinois before Slippery When Wet came out. Venue meant for country groups. Front row. He sweat on me!!!! Showing my age, product of the 80's and proud of it!!!!!
I absolutely love the kick-ass solo in the middle of the song: it's one of the finest solos I've ever heard !
Great song. Great video. Great times! The 80's. I remember them well. I miss them so much. This song brings me back everytime :)
Olá bon Jovi aqui quem fala é o Erick de Belo Horizonte eu particularmente adoro essa música e queria um dia conhecer vocês ou ir em uns dos seus shows e de quebra pegar um otografo de vocês tchau feliz natal e um próspero ano novo de mais sucessos 🎉🎉 Brasil
