Bon Jovi sucked. Hard.

There is no "don't lie, you liked..."noididn't.  I remember the suckage as it was happening and time hasn't helped. At. All. Got nothing against Jon Bon or anyone making a business decision in the entertainment industry, but everything about that band was cringe-worthy and needed to die for the sake of western civilization.

Perhaps you need to watch this video and then come back with another response.

OK, there is no way a legit musician can be named "Kip".

I mean:

 

Gatemouth

Ludwig

Beverly

Miles

Jimi

Itzhak

Wolfgang

Dre

Kip?

 

 

I dunno... have you heard his classical works?

I mean... they're really, really good.

Woke up to this on the stereo. Bon Jovi sucks, Night Ranger might suck more. 

 

Of course Night Ranger sucks more!

I had nearly my entire digital life stolen out of a rental vehicle in a smash & grab in Oakland which included my all but my first year in Buenos Aires (out of 7 1/2), so when I was in Argentina 2 months after being robbed, I went out and about and took photos of everything. I came across this photo across the street from the massive mosque & muslim cultural center in Palermo.

A poster hyping everyone's favorite band playing at Estadio Velez Sarsfeld, where I saw an Ireland vs Argentina rugby match (their B-teams) in April of 2007 and The Killers in ~October of 2007. You play South America and they will love you forever.

Saw Night Ranger at Astroworld in the 80s, as far as sounding just like the recordings those fuckers were spot on, I mean spot fucking on. They put on a good show.

Night Ranger did pre-production for one of their later albums at the Austin Rehearsal Complex.  In a hallway conversation, one of those douchebags offered to sell me their mixing console they were using to track demos.  Never mind the fact that it was a generic Mackie board, they wanted more than list price for it, "because Night Ranger had used it".

Ok, I went back and re-listened to a bit more NR (Sister Christian, etc...), and you guys are right, they don't deserve to be in a Bon Jovi thread. I do apologize.

he was shooting a music video on the bridge. she wanted to jump because she heard the song. 

It is weird though right?.

Wouldn't the bridge be shut down to vehicles and bystanders?

Was she part of the production crew?

An extra and they ran out of craft services?

A buddy of mine is in a high level position in the liquor and wine biz and tons of celebs come to pitch their brand to him and his team. He said he really expected to hate Jon but said he was a good guy and down to earth. 

Doesn't mean his music doesn't suck.

This.

I'm perfectly capable of separating the man from his music. From all accounts, he's an amazing human being, and we're all lucky he exists and I wish fame found more people like him BUT JUST NOT LIKE THAT MY GOD

Hate on them if you must, but they nailed it for what was popular at the time. Cheesy af, but that’s what they were going for.

I said it up thread, but Wanted Dead or Alive works just fine for me.

Runaway is a nice little pop tune in my book.

Flame away.

May or may not have tried to leverage a couple of their sappier ones into a little back seat action when Pops would let me borrow the Oldsmobile on a Friday night in high school

I'd buy that if he had stopped writing songs, but he's been doing it for 40 years or so, and they've always been cheesy af.

Shit, Raise Your Hands is a great song. And Living on a Prayer is an anthem of the 80's whether it's as song of artistic import or not (it is not).

 

Slippery When Wet was the second cassette I ever bought after Fleetwood Mac Rumours.

Tell me you've never been to Nashville without telling me you've never been to Nashville.

It's been a long time.  Do they allow vehicles on the pedestrian bridges?

Anyway, Bon Jovi sucks ass as a songwriter and is clearly a quite decent human being.

He's a fucking GREAT guy.  And he doesn't "suck ass", he's just not your favorite.  He's written some fine songs. 

Dude washes dishes most nights, and he's a multi-millionaire.  Give the man some credit.
