Bon Jovi: ITV One Night Only

From Last Night (I'll add more as they appear):



























UGH!! PLEASE LET THIS SONG DIE!

Bon Jovi: PS 22 does 'Prayer'

These talented like whoa kids go to PS 22 in NYC and sing there hearts out, they're amazingly talented and anyone who wants to cut funding to school music programs should watch these kids on video before they vote.

They sing Living on a Prayer here, its amazing.

And with all the covers going on Jon's ego should be satisfied, yet Yesterday by The Beatles is still the most covered song.  Sorry Jon's Ego.

Bon Jovi: The Ultimate Greatest Hits DVD

I bought my copy, gotta make a few partial payments on Jon's mortgage.

Here's some details.

The DVD is on sale for on Amazon.co.uk as I posted a few days ago.  With standard shipping it comes out to $17.89 US with the current exchange rates.  Your credit or debit card should have an additional 2-3% (or more) foreign currency transaction fee for your bank to do the currency exchange, while banks are known as "lending institutions" their primary goal is to make money, not to lose it.  If you attempt to have the fee waived the nice customer service person will tell you how this is in your cardholder agreement, blah blah blah (No I didn't do this, I worked for a bank and the lady was pissed when her $10000 French, Carriage style crib she bought for her baby was 2% higher than she expected after the currency change, and she DEMANDED I return that fee, that's the one fee that we could not waive since you elected to make the purchase with your credit card, if you're spending 10K on a crib, 2% shouldn't really matter, but I guess it does.)

The DVD is all regions (Like the MSG DVD) and NTSC which means it will play in newer US players.

So enjoy some more Jovi shopping, and remember, the holidays are right around the corner.

Bon Jovi: Tour 2011

Last January I decided to bite the bullet and join Backstage with Jon Bon Jovi. I always wanted to join the Fan Club since the days of the Secret Society (I was 10-11 back in 1986, what the hell is a money order to a 10 year old?).  But I always found a reason to spend the money on something else.

Everyone talks about how you can buy tickets early, and pit seats. So last year I was late for the Circle Tour, but last night.

I now understand the excitement.

The frustration.

The complete disbelief.

More frustration.

Insert a few choice curse words.

Did I say frustrated?

How do Pit Tickets in every venue sell out in 10 seconds??? Who types the Captcha words that fast?? I mean I was getting IXXI tounequet what does that mean?

Oh did I mention the excitement when you're happy your going (Yes I still get chills every time I hear Prayer or my personal favorite Wanted live, screw the haters that are tired of those songs, go see Lady Gaga instead.)

But I'm happy, I will be road tripping it Southwest Airlines style.

First Stop, San Antonio Texas. We will pretend we're Ozzy by wearing a dress and peeing on the Alamo.

Sorry in advance Texas.

Oh wait Lady Gaga will be in San Antonio 2 days before us, so we may get invited back.

We leave Texas for the public indecency of Viva Lost Wages, I mean Las Vegas.  We're going to spend a few days in LV.  And besides Bon Jovi see a few shows (LOVE anyone? Thunder From Down Under?)

The MGM Grand show was more expensive than the Garden and appeared to sell out faster.  It's a personal rule not to head into the New York area in February, last time I did that I tailgated in the Meadowlands in 28 degree weather staying warm by drinking Godiva laced hot chocolate, standing in snow drifts.  I live in Florida, I don't want to be cold.  I don't have the clothes to stay warm anymore.  Going North during the late winter months means New Wardrobe, that I'll wear twice.

So awesome.  San Antonio (& the Alamo) and the MGM Grand.  If anyone is interested in meeting up pre or post show in either city please let me know.

Another awesome Bon Jovi vacation to look forward to in 2011!!!

Bon Jovi: In Case you missed it Bon Jovi on the X-Factor

I don't typically watch these type of shows but you know it's Bon Jovi so I watched.



Did Jon look tired or was it just me? It almost felt like he hadn't warmed up enough, I mean I know he can't hit the high notes anymore but it seemed pretty bad tonight.

Bon Jovi: Greatest Hits DVD

Awesome.  Once again not available in the US or Canada (Randomly Bon Jovi Brasil, Mexico and the rest of Central and South America are not part of the US or Canada)

BON JOVI GREATEST HITS DVD features the band's biggest worldwide smash hits in a career-spanning set of original promo videos, alongside the greatest ever live performances of each and every one of these legendary tracks.

The phenomenal live footage includes the band's groundbreaking rooftop show on top of London's O2 Arena (never before been released on home video) as well as an exclusive performance of storming new single WHAT DO YOU GOT?, not available anywhere else.

17 ORIGINAL VIDEOS + 17 LIVE PERFORMANCES

THE ULTIMATE VIDEO COLLECTION

This DVD includes Livin' On A Prayer, It's My Life, You Give Love A Bad Name, Bad Medicine, Who Says You Can't Go Home, Have A NIce Day, Always, Lay Your Hands On Me, We Weren't Born To Follow, Keep The Faith, Blaze of Glory and MORE!

This DVD collection is available around the world, minus US and Canada. Look for it when you purchase your Greatest Hits album in November!

The Greatest Hits DVD can be purchased from Amazon.co.uk and it is all regions which means it will play in newer DVD players in any country.  Which is also what they did with the MSG DVD and I had it last December.  Stupid Universal Music.  Trying to hold the American (& Canadian) Bon Jovi fan down, don't you know we have credit cards and access to the internet???

Here are some pictures from Amazon.co.uk of the back of the DVD which videos and which performances.  Makes me wonder if next year we can expect a DVD package of the 70+ songs performed at the O2 this past June.  Hmmm Bon Jovi????  Hmmm?????  What Do You Got is live from Peru.

 

 Of course after reading the track listing I have most of the live stuff on DVD, and did they remaster the videos to look all HD on the TV (Jon & Richie circa 1986 in full HD *swoon* I'm sure Alec's goatee [and of course Alec himself] look more frightening in HD, Happy Halloween), it would be even better if the re-mastered all the VHS Videos from the 80's where they had like Slippery When Wet the videos & NJ the videos & of course Access all Areas (A Rock N Roll Odyssey) which I refuse to pay $300 for all the CDs I have just to get that DVD.  

That would be the ultimate Bon Jovi DVD set (they're still not listening I'm sure).

So to recap:

You can buy the Greatest Hits DVD from an online retailer from Europe.

Bon Jovi Needs to remaster all their video collections & Access All Areas to full 1080i/p HD and put out a DVD box set

The O2 should be out on DVD w/All 70+ songs performed (in 1080i/p HD)

Alec John Such is scary even when it's not Halloween.

Bon Jovi: Bon Jovi Greatest Hits Review

One of the first reviews of the Greatest Hits I've seen, and they don't do the Ultimate Greatest Hits (I'm sorry in some cases you get twice as many songs for pennies more the regular Greatest Hits is a rip off).  

Bon Jovi Greatest Hits Review

BBC Review

New Jersey hard-rockers of worldwide appeal release a new hits collection.

Mike Diver 2010-10-29

There’s no shame whatsoever in admitting to having some affection for Bon Jovi. If you’re of a certain age – and the spread’s wide, from teenagers to mums and dads in their 40s and 50s – then there’s every chance that significant moments of your life have occurred around this pop-rocking foursome riding high in the charts. Frankly, those who can’t sling their head back, punch the air and holler along to the chorus of Livin’ on a Prayer are likely unsalvageable from whatever depression they’ve slipped into.

As for the question of whether the group needs another best-of set, bear in mind that their last worldwide compilation of such a style, Crossroads, came out 16 years ago. That’s nearly a generation’s worth of new rock ‘n’ roll that’s up for inclusion here, then. But, perhaps wisely, the majority of these 16 tracks (an expanded double-disc version is available too, should you be worrying that Blaze of Glory has been erased from Bon Jovi history) are taken from the band’s mid-80s to early-90s globe-conquering albums. The fresher fare is yet to fully rub into the leather of rock’s already plenty stained jacket of time, but numbers like It’s My Life, from 2000’s Crush, and Have a Nice Day from the 2005 album of the same name, have clout enough to them to suggest that, eventually, they’ll be just as revered amongst the band’s fanbase as catalogue classics from New Jersey and Slippery When Wet.

Granted, one person’s classic is another’s cut that can’t be abided – but there’s a genuine universal appeal to a great many Bon Jovi tracks that puts them in the same league as U2. Sure, you’ll hate a few tracks when they’ve been playlisted into irrelevance; but time heals, and sure enough today Bon Jovi’s most brilliant firecrackers are enjoying new leases of life. No fewer than 12 of the tracks across these Greatest Hits discs will be available for players of the Rock Band series of video games to download. Frontman Jon Bon Jovi notes, in the accompanying promotional material, that these songs have stood the test of time, and for once the statement is more truth than flog-some-records hyperbole.

As with many greatest hits packages, a couple of new songs are tagged on the end – What Do You Got? is a by-the-book slowie worthy of a few lighters held aloft, and No Apologies is a rollicking barroom jam that’s high on energy if rather rattling of heart. They’re perfectly serviceable, but be fair – this is getting bought for the big-haired 80s hits, and nothing else. And that’s perfectly fine.

Bon Jovi: (Jon) Bon Jovi Mulls Solo Album After 'Circle' Tour Wraps

You know I like Jon's albums but there's magic when he and Richie and Desmond Child write together.  We shall see.

Bon Jovi Mulls Solo Album After 'Circle' Tour Wraps

It's a long way off, but Jon Bon Jovi is already hatching plans for August, after he and his band wrap up touring in support of their 2009 album, "The Circle," and a "Greatest Hits" set that comes out Nov. 9.

"I'm going to sit on a beach for August, which is usually what I do, and come September figure out what's next," Bon Jovi tells Billboard.com. Some possibilities? "A smaller-sounding solo record and/or focus more on the philanthropy and sports ownerships," he says. "I don't see any acting in the immediate future. It'll be out of the political cycles, and there's nothing else I wish I could do. I'm not a coulda, shoulda, woulda kind of guy. If I wanted to do it, I tried it, so it's not like I have any hidden desire to become a chef or anything."

Bon Jovi Up for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

If he does take the solo album route, Bon Jovi -- who went it alone on the 1990 soundtrack for "Blaze of Glory -- Young Guns II" and on 1997's "Destination Anywhere" -- predicts he'll go for "a lyric-driven, acoustic-sounding kind of thing with piano, a couple guitars, a B3 (organ) and a violin. I do these solo things oftentimes for charity, and I enjoy the atmosphere because it really gives the singer a chance to sing. You're not competing with the loud amps. So I could see myself doing a singer's type of a record. We'll see."

Before that, however, comes quite a bit of Bon Jovi group activity. The "Greatest Hits" album comes out in two different configurations -- a standard 16-song single disc and a two-disc "Greatest Hits -- Ultimate Collection," with five new songs spread across the various domestic and international editions. The project was first broached to follow 2007's "Lost Highway," but was pushed back when Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora came up with a batch of topical new songs for "The Circle."

Q&A: Bon Jovi Talks Pushing Himself On Tour

"While we're in the midst of 'The Circle' tour, this 'Greatest Hits' made the most sense," Bon Jovi explains, "because the tour's going to continue through the summer of next year. For those who have just found the band in this rather prolific decade, this is a great introduction, and for the fan who's been there the last three decades, this is everything you've ever known and then five new songs. So I feel like they're getting value added, too."

Bon Jovi says two of the new songs, the single "What Do You Got?" and "This Is Love, This Is Life," were started during "The Circle" sessions but didn't fit the album and were finished for "Greatest Hits," along with "This Our House," an MP3 download premium for those pre-ordering the album. The other two, "No Apologies" and "The More Things Change," were written specifically for the compilation.

He says he was surprised that "What Do You Got?" got the nod to be the first single. "I said, 'If anyone wants to pick a single, you tell me. What do I know?' " recalls Bon Jovi, who favored "No Apologies." "That was the one that floated to the top, and I was taken aback because it was the (last) of the five I would've picked. But people have really been relating to the lyric, and seemingly for...radio, it's a hit."

Bon Jovi has a number of appearances and events lined up in conjunction with the release of "Greatest Hits." On Nov. 7, the group will perform at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid, where it will receive the inaugural Global Icon Award. The next night will see the premiere of "One Night Only," a concert film from May's opening run at the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey, at 750 movie theaters worldwide. They'll appear Nov. 9 on CBS' "The Late Show with David Letterman," along with a webcast concert that will stream on the show's website and Vevo.com, followed by a monthlong run that includes the "Today" show, A&E's "Private Sessions," the American Music Awards, "Ellen," "Larry King Live" and "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute."

Bon Jovi resumes "The Circle" tour on Nov. 30 in Tokyo and hits Australia and New Zealand before a six-leg North American leg starts in February. The band then wraps things up in Europe during June and July, including a show at the Hard Rock Calling festival on June 25 in London's Hyde Park.

These dates are NOT CONFIRMED.  Vegas & NYC are because of the FC trips.  Orlando has been bounced about but is not listed.

One thing I would like to point out the tour starts off AFTER February 6th, which is that big football game in Dallas this year (which the Cowboys won't be playing in).  Is Bon Jovi Big game bound?  And there's no show on March 14th, which is the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductions.  Interesting.

Bon Jovi: We know where Richie was

He was playing Dad. (Awww, wait... My Parents were strict I would have never been allowed out of the house in a shirt like that at 12 or 13 much less today.) Poor Richie missed seeing Clapton perform in a little church to get his daughter to see Justin Beaver (yes, I know that's not his name and I don't care). The things people do when they have kids. Oh wait, I don't have kids and sat through the Hannah Montana Concert in 3-D. I get points too for taking my nieces and 6 friends, right?

Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner and More Support Variety's Power of Youth

A number of young stars were present at Variety's 4th Annual Power of Youth event at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. Justin Beaver, Kim Kardashian's half sister Kendall Jenner, Bailee Madison and Bella Thorne were among those who attended the event which was held to celebrate young stars and their involvement with philanthropic and humanitarian causes.

Beaver hit the Sunday afternoon, October 24 event in an orange shirt and dark trousers. The "Baby" hitmaker was honored at the gala for his work with Pencils of Promise, a philanthropic organization that works with local communities to build schools and increase educational opportunities worldwide.

"Best part was I got to surprise the charities being honored," Bieber said as quoted by Just Jared Jr. "My show tomorrow at the Staples Center in L.A. is sold out but we saved 500 tickets to give 100 each to each charity being honored to give to kids in need and let them have a fun night they deserve I know what its like to have some tough times so I hope those tickets make u kids coming smile a little. Gonna be a fun show. Thanks."

Jenner, in the meantime, looked adorable in a white blouse which she matched with a black skirt and flat shoes. Joining her were Madison, Throne, Victoria Justice and Ariel Winter. Madison opted a sparkling dress matched with a bennie and dark boots while Thorne sported an animal-printed dress and brown boots. As for Justice, she went super casual with jeans and a suit jacket. Winter herself donned a colorful minidress.

Beside the already-mentioned young stars, other attendees at the event were David Henrie, Gregg Sulkin, Katelyn Pippy, Amber Stevens, Ava Sambora, Richie Sambora, Chloe Bridges, Mitchel Musso, Aimee Teegarden, Troian Avery, Ryan Newman and James Maslow.

On the annual event, publisher of Variety Brian Gott previously said, "Variety's Power of Youth campaign has become a catalyst for philanthropic involvement. This effort is a celebration of what is one of the most generous and charitable industries on the planet."

Beside Justin Beaver, Bow Wow, David Henrie, Victoria Justice and Shailene Woodley were also named as honorees at the event, joining past honorees which include Keke Palmer, Jesse McCartney, Corbin Bleu, AnnaLynne McCord and Miranda Cosgrove.

Here's some video as well:

Bon Jovi: I bet you missed Jon performing today....

I wasn't invited to this either.  Yeah I think it will take a long time for Jon to forgive me after the avian activities of Gulf Shores (I Gave him the double barreled state bird of New Jersey With every It's Alright during that song I love so much).

*EDITED with video* Where's Tico???

MY FAVORITE BON JOVI SONG EVER!!!

Bon Jovi Performs At Baron’s Investment Conference Today

Oct. 22 2010 - 6:25 pm

Thousands of Baron Capital investors crowded into the Metropolitan Opera House this afternoon. They sat through a panel discussion among Baron’s fund managers and listened to its billionaire founder Ron Baron tell some of his personal stories of his success. But most of them were likely waiting to find out who today’s secret performer was going to be. Already Diana Ross and John Cougar Mellencamp had performed during lunch.

The guy sitting next to me whispered, “I bet it’s Bono,” after a slide featuring the U2 front man flashed on the screen with a quote about America being a state of mind, not a country.

Suspense built when Baron, who grew up in Asbury Park, NJ, and spent summers working odd jobs on the Jersey Shore, said he had picked a fellow Jersey man.

Could it truly be? Could we be lucky enough to see Bruce Springsteen in concert while covering an investment conference? Sensing our excitement, Baron quickly quashed our hopes explaining it would not be the Boss.

Instead the 4,000 guests crowded into the opera house were serenaded by “the more handsome guy from New Jersey” as Jon Bon Jovi introduced himself. He performed such favorites as “You Give Love a Bad Name” and also gave his rendition of “Hallelujah.”

Baron always keeps the identity of his performers secret from even his closest confidantes. Over the years, celebrities like Neil Diamond, Elton John, Bette Midler, Paul Simon, Billy Crystal and Rod Stewart have all headlined his events. Jerry Seinfeld performed twice, supposedly the second time as a replacement for someone who got sick just a few days before the event. One news report said Baron’s and Seinfeld’s moms are friends; the comedian is also an East Hampton neighbor of his, according to Baron, who spent more than $100 million on his 40-acre estate in 2007.

Baron, whose parents wanted him to be a doctor, got his start as a biochemistry teaching fellow and then as a patent examiner in the U.S. patent office while attending George Washington law school. He became a securities analyst in 1970 and started his own firm in 1982. He has been throwing these investment conferences for 19 years. He pays for the entire day, inviting all of his investors as his guests to hear from portfolio companies and enjoy the free entertainment. He plans the event for months. He was already giddy about it this summer when I went to visit him at his mid-town office, as a few employees sat tasting deserts for the event in the conference room.

He certainly seemed to be having fun up on stage. One highlight was when an audience member asked him to elaborate on his college experience. Baron squinted to see who had asked the question and realized it was his frat buddy. Bet his parties these days blow those old ones away. As one person said, “Ron is probably the most optimistic person I’ve met. If you had his life you would be too.”

I don’t but for a few hours I could imagine.

You'd think that as someone who writes for Forbes she would know that Dessert is spelt with 2 SS's cause you want more Dessert and less time in the Desert.

Bon Jovi: It's an Idea that will never happen, Bon Jovi plays each album in concert

Last weekend during our Gutter Girls weekend we were discussing the Bon Jovi shows we've been to over the years and songs we've heard surprises, etc.

One of the things we all thought was a great idea was a series of shows at a small venue with minimal production and during these shows Bon Jovi played 1 album in its entirety.

Now here's the thing when you buy your ticket it tells you what album is going to be played that night.  So if you don't want to hear 7800 and you buy the ticket to the 7800 night, its your own damned fault, scalp the ticket or keep your mouth shut.  And yes Jon does have to show up that night.

Now for us fans who are obsessive there should be a "box set" of tickets where you can get all the shows (for a discount cause times are tough they're just getting tougher, whole world is rough its just getting rougher...  Oh wait that's Bruce.  Sorry) and you get a little collectible box where all your ticket stubs can be displayed like the ultimate Bon Jovi fan badge of honor, I saw all the albums played in their entirety and lived to tell the tale.

Of course Crossroads and the GH are exempt because you know they're not full studio albums.

So what do you think? 

I doubt it would happen, but it's a good idea and has anything like this ever been done before?  I know Bruce played specific albums during his residence at MSG but was it on the ticket stub?

Which shows would you be particularly excited about?

Bon Jovi: AGAIN The DVD isn't scheduled for release in the US!!!

Remember when the MSG DVD came out last year and us fans in North America were basically told Oh well, our record company won't release it in the states.

Well how about the Ultimate Video Collection?  Same thing?

Greatest Hits - The Ultimate Video Collection  Release date October 29th.

Track Listing:
01 Livin 'On A Prayer
02 You Give Love A Bad Name
03 In These Arms
04 Bad Medicine
05 Born To Be My Baby
06 I'll Be There For You
07 Lay Your Hands On Me
08 It's My Life
09 Always
10 Wanted Dead Or Alive
11 Bed Of Roses
12 Who Says You Can not Go Home
13 Have A Nice Day
14 We Were Born To Follow
15 What Do You Got?
16 Keep The Faith
17 Blaze Of Glory

AND it's available in DVD only not Blu-Ray!!   What year is it?  Didn't Universal want to re-master the video's for Blu Ray release?

*Pet Peeve* Blaze of Glory is NOT a Bon Jovi song (its Jon Bon Jovi's first "official" solo release).  If you include Blaze of Glory include Ballad of Youth too.

Bon Jovi :Bon Jovi Is the prize worth 'Global Icon' from MTV?

The always awesome Amit (@tigrs99 on twitter) pointed this out.  And Rolling Stone has a lot people who decide who goes into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, if this is the global feeling, things don't look good, which is "Alright" since doesn't millions and millions of units sold and millions and millions of fans around the world mean more than some hall of fame?

Jon?

From the Spanish version of Rolling Stone (Translated by Google, Sorry No Habla Espanol):

Bon Jovi Is the prize worth 'Global Icon' from MTV?

The music channel will present the award at a gala in Madrid for being "one of the most beloved rock bands and more influential over the past 30 years." Are five reasons why this is a wrong decision. By Ivar Muñoz-Rojas

"It is clear that Bon Jovi has reached iconic status worldwide as one of the most popular rock bands, most beloved and influential over the past 30 years. "These words referred to the Executive Vice President of Music and area MTV talent, Bruce Gillmer, the group will receive the award 'Global Icon' in Madrid on November 7, at a gala organized by the chain in Spain is leading the music mogul. He argues that the award, the first which gives the multinational brand in its history, gives those in New Jersey because, in his words, "For years, MTV and Bon Jovi fans have given their unique and incredible experience." The band will come to the capital to collect this recognition of spirit as big as open. But is it deserved? Here are five arguments against this decision.

1. His best moments were nearly 30 years. We saw it in its passage through the festival Rock in Rio Madrid 2010, last June: a concert by Bon Jovi now and Jacuzzi to the past, that movie in which some colleagues are quickly an unexpected trip to the 80. That is, when the band attacks with live Runaway or Bad medicine -those hits of the eighties filled with lacquer, energy and good tunes, the cries of fivefold, when interpreting recent songs off viewers. Bon Jovi was detached from reality and present at the same time by the hair was cut for his album Keep the Faith, 1992.

2. Songs are too similar to each other. Okay, for 90 Bon Jovi stayed on the charts, most Taliban say in this matter, but always mellifluous ballad at that stage that gave success to the group (and some surgery , will be assumed). How many would be able to differentiate Bed of roses to Always, then their biggest hits in five seconds? Because, besides, eternal melodramatic, his ballads are very similar to each other. And it is worth mentioning as an example of success moved, revitalizing and recent It's my life, from their album Crush: progress has, but already has ten years and start with vocoder (the pileup that robotized human voice), is modeled that of Livin 'on a Prayer, its most successful (fourteen years younger).

3. Say you like Bon Jovi is marginal. With this band of mature passes as with former super sales as Roxette, Bryan Adams or, national, modesty aside, times have changed (as they said in one of his biggest hits Celtic Other that fall into this category), and Bon Jovi have left a halo beater long. An example material: H & M we can buy shirts with air vintage other glories as Guns N 'Roses, Motörhead or Madonna, not of our players, however. That theorem that everything is cyclical fashion breaks with Bon Jovi and 120 million records sold. By the way, how many current bands to mention Bon Jovi as a major influence?

4. 50% of the group remains unknown to the masses. Bon Jovi is a clear example of metonymy, that figure of speech with which they become part of the whole (for example, we wash the car when it comes to your body). As we do not know if Jarabe de Palo is Pau Dones or this band, or Revolver is the same or not Carlos Goñi, for many uninitiated Bon Jovi is synonymous with its Rubiales and spunky singer, Jon Bon Jovi, of 48. And this is an error: the name behind five people. Although it is true that Tico Torres (57, drums) and David Bryan (48, keyboards), who have been in the ranks of the group since its inception, could walk quietly, and at rush hour, and the Gran Via without anyone recognize them. And that is not itself an icon.

5. They are the worst icon ever. And speaking of icons: the symbol for the band and is on the cover of Have a nice day (his ninth album with new songs of 2005) is nonsense even greater than, for example, the Metallica name without his arrows (as presented by the band on Load, album of 1996). Music Video In the title track to this job teenagers flooded, with sprays and stickers, the city (as they did, but in reality, punks Black Flag in Los Angeles, in the early 80). It all ends with a concert sprawling, unplanned, to blush a little and produces a similar feeling of seeing your mother with two glasses of most New Year's Eve. And that is not worthy of an icon.

Erratum: In fact, as you say in various comments, the effect you hear in the outbursts of the songs It's My Life and Livin 'on a prayer is made with a vocoder , but with a talk box. On the other hand, to prevent confusion that induce the text, we refer logo is only used with Bon Jovi album Have a nice day, which is not the only one who has used the band: the classic heart pierced by a dagger remains a hallmark of the group.
