Jon Bon Jovi On The Moment That Inspired Him To Write About George Floyd & BLM | MSNBC
Jon Bon Jovi always had something to say and somewhere to be from, not just about the party.
@Lance Wells: Would you like to read what you wrote and see what you said? By the way, I don't agree. Shakespeare wrote plays, not hard rock songs, and he had much smaller audiences.
Another Jersey boy on the right side of history !! 💪💯
Another rich celeb jumping on the band wagon for glory points more like.
You’re a class act Bon Jovi. ❤️💞💕
♥ Jon Bon Jovi ♥
@BAT THINK I'm not sure about that but I think you mean that Elvis is still alive. I disagree.
Much respect to you Jon Bon Jovi!
Bat think You are trying to fill the dump trump with dieper.Good luck 🤣🤣
Didn’t they inform him Floyd was a drug addict criminal who just had too much fentanyl and died of an overdose?
I love Jon Bon Jovi and I can relate to what he said; it's so sad and I'm glad he made a song about it too! R.I. P. George Floyd.🙏🕊❤
Art can make change in our world. Thank you Bon Jovi ❤️
👍👍👍
@BAT THINK O h ~~ NO ~~ BAD THINK ~~ FOR SURE 🤣🤣
@80sBaby90sKid • it did . Imagine - John Lennon shot.
Jon Bon Jovi GOD BLESS 🙏 ❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️ ALWAYS ❤️🙏❤️
😍😍🤩🤩👍👍
Since when is judge and jury the executioner?
@Lance Wells go talk about the Qanon conspirator that was killed at the capitol.
He is so cute! I met him when he was on Slippery When Wet Tour! Doc Magee was his manager. Very nice man.😊✌
Grew up listening to him and will continue... Love his music and sounds like he's still got it, right on the money..
We have very similar tastes, in fact we have almost all the same subscriptions. Check out dark5 as well as Michael brooks show, when you get a chance.

@@joshuapowell114 I miss Brooks so much 😔 It's still a, sick tbh.. I'll definitely check out Dark5, thanks!
@@mr.anderson3288 He didn't die of an overdose. The autopsy is literally online. He did not have enough in his system to die.. We all watched him be murdered on video, what is your problem?
@@mr.anderson3288 : Jon and his fan's are too busy jumping on the liberal band wagon to think about what really killed Floyd...fentanyl, methamphetamine and + covid Leftist...I've lost all respect for Jon!
Jon Bon Jovi, not only rocks good music, he rocks intelligence and his good looks! 🥰👍
He sucks
@@TrumpMakesLeftiesCryAgain Kinda like your mom. 🤣
@@tommyk6719 yours does it better 😋

*sigh* I love that man. That album was amazing.
Never that
@BAT THINK Don’t be daft you silly bat.
Such an important song. Words can’t describe how grateful I am that Jon put into words the horror and devastation that I felt watching the footage and hearing Mr Floyd’s pleas.
Thank you Bon Jovi and "HAVE A NICE DAY" God bless you👍👍✌
I've always loved him and been proud to be from Joizy
Because our voices are sometimes hidden in others.
@BAT THINK
He's never been cool enough to be a satanist...
dude.
😎
@MSNBC: The whole entire interview in one video would have been nice!
Jon Bon Jovi💪, is a "Rock & Roll" gentleman whose 🎶 has reached fans worldwide, on the global stage.
His work ethic away from the arenas and spotlight, is a testament to his true grit and character ✊
Thanks Jon bon Jovi
Jon Bon Jovi ~~😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Awesome just awesome.
I love the lyrics!! That line....we'll all refuse to repent'n all, even after the proof of fent'n'all. Powerful stuff Jon
I want to meet the man himself, mr. bovine Joni
Cool
I instantly liked this link..
@BAT THINK actually I'm an athiest, thanks
😥 It was horrific watching George Floyd die.
You were there? He died a week later.
FAITH LEWIS YES I'M AGREE 💯 REALLY SAD I'M SPENT DAYS CRIED 💔 HORRIBLE 💔 EXTREMELY CRUELTY
@BAT THINK
He's a marine biologist.
@BAT THINK
You...
are truly an "Eric Cartman".
Love his determination to get history out by his music. 💖🥰🇨🇦. Dixie chicks did that and look what happened to them...mmmmmm
I wonder why he left out of the song the part about George having a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system which makes you not be able to breathe or the fact that George was saying he could not breathe when he was simply sitting in the backseat, or that George asked repeatedly to be put face down on the road and eventually the police obliged, or the fact that when George was then put face down as george repeatedly requested, george then began fighting the police. Sounds like this song leaves out the fact that the cops asked George several times if he was on anything and George would not answer, and I doubt that the song include the fact that George was just caught committing a crime as well. Leaving that stuff off leaves off a big part of the story
You two should get together and go bowling.
@BAT THINK
Oh, well...
Yeah, I guess that little slideshow proves it...
Totally convinced, here!
😄
What is your point and what is it about?
What do drugs in the system of a victim have to do with a pig kneeling on their victim's neck for nine minutes?
What if YOU were drunk, even lethally drunk?
Would you deserve to have your neck knelt upon for ten minutes?
What point are you trying to make?
@@ZeroOskul my point is tell the entire story. Why are we afraid to tell the ENTIRE story.
1. Fentanyl suppresses your ability to breathe, George had a lethal amount in his system.
2. George said he could not breathe 7 times while sitting in backseat.
3. George repeatedly asked to be put face down on the pavement. Thats the only reason he was there.
4. When placed on the pavement George started fighting.
5. George was asked several times what he was on and did not answer.
6. The coroner said the amount fentanyl was lethal.
My point is to tell the entire story. Why do we tell lies (omission is a lie) about what happened? If we are going to pick and choose what is told and what is not, why dont we leave the part out about the cop kneeling on his neck? Tell the entire story.
@@stephenharris9802 What does the entire story matter?
Do we need to know the entire life stories of the dead man and the cops who killed him to know that the pigs were wrong?
Do we need to know what everybody had for breakfast to recognize the cops continued to restrict his respiratory pathways for several minutes after he stopped moving?
What difference does it make?
What is your point about deciding what artists should choose to produce as artwork for the news to pretend it is newsworthy?
What is your point about it and what difference does it make in light of the pigs continuing to kneel on him for minutes after he stopped moving?
What is your point about it?
Will he donate profits to fight racial injustice?
No such thing as racial injustice.
@Red jam 611 Do you know if you’re a chick or a dude Today?
@Red jam 611 ÉMOC AGREV (read backwards.
@Red jam 611 RETAE KCOC BACKWARDS
Cnn blocked me
really police officers do horrible things. What about in Australia
Money 💴
2021 might be more interesting than 2020...
The moment that inspired him would have to be when he saw it go global, so he could know he could sell it to the globe.
Whenever I try to sell something globally it is only because I think the whole world would accept it.
Bon Jovi is a product who is marketing himself.
Well!!
@BAT THINK What does religion have to do with anything?
(sigh). Once again, Floyd complained of trouble breathing ten times before the cops ever laid him on the ground (at his request, because he was claustrophobic of the car). Floyd was not killed by the cops, but died of an overdose. People need to be more select when they choose their martyrs.
Yea no...the autopsy said neck asphyxiation , try again troll. The fact that you’re trying to justify the conduct of the police is inhuman, and sickening. You’re trash.
🙄😂😂😂🤣
Bonnie Jon Bovi
*_"Jon Bon Jovi - How I Took the Opportunity to Capitalize on the Death of a Black Man in America":_* There... I fixed the title of this video for you.
This fool is so angry, you just know his inbred mug resembles a used maxipad. 😡🤣
@@ronm9357 Check yourself bud. I'm not the one trying to make money of the death of George Floyd...
100% of the net proceeds from the download of American Reckoning will support Bryan Stevenson’s Equal Justice Initiative . There I fixed it for you.
Nahh you got it all wrong. He used his art to capitalize. We all should play to win.
"They" capitalized on slavery they still look down to colored people.
so corny lmaoo
Bon jovi jumping on the bandwagon tryna profit off it with his washed up career, hes a lame songwriter everyone knows
