Singing and performing like he did is like playing sports on the highest level. Most people can’t even sing one single Bon Jovi song proper, he did it night after night for fourty years. Lots of respect for this man and his music.
I'm 52 and grew up loving these guys. My 10 year old daughter asked to go for a drive the other night so we could listen to Living on a Prayer at max volume, so she could roll down the windows and sing at the top of he lungs. Say what you want, but he, his band (with Richie), and this song are timeless.
my dad did that with me. i grew up loving them, sadly i lost my dad last year. Those moments driving around with him will always hold a special place in my life. i even went to my fist bon jovi concert with him.
I'm 51 and I've been in love with this guy since I was 15, it's a shame that he lost his voice but still a great artist, still with the same woman, great dad, that means that a good artist can have it all and still be great.
As a musician and not a fanboy of Bonjovi, ask yourself this, "is your father as good at his born tallent now as he was when he was 21?" We are only human. If you can touch as many people in an emotionaly good way as this man has over the last 40 years, you are a better human than me. Peace to all.
You act like Jon is doing charity. The guy is worth $410 million. Its a business and should be treated as such. If your product is inferior, paying customers have a right to complain. That simple.
@@jonboydiego999 Fair enough, if someone buys a ticket to a show where they know his vocals are going to be messed up; thats on them. But at the end of the day, we are still the customer. We gave him his fame and his hundreds of millions of dollars.
Bon Jovi no longer jumps on the audience and it is difficult for him to reach the treble in the chorus of the song ... But he gets to enjoy the expressions and funny face.that he does when singing ... That is old school Rock!
It's more than that. It is also singing a lot during a tour and the vocal cords get wore out. At 67 I still have a pretty strong voice. I haven't used my voice and I have taken care of it. He is still a legend.
Everyone changes as they age. I've always loved this song and I still do. Bon Jovi is such a big part of my youth it'll never go away. And to top it all he showed what a showman he is. 2011, Helsinki, it was raining and he slipped and tore a ligament in his knee. A sane person would've stopped there and seeked medical aid. What did Jon do? He did the rest of the concert hopping on one leg - and he didn't just stand still, he was PERFORMING. I had lots of respect for him before that, but after that he's truly among the gods of rock for me. He didn't even stop singing, we didn't realize what happened until we began wondering why he looked so pained and hobbled along mostly with one leg. Funny enough, I remembered it was a beautiful, perfect, sunny day. That's what Bon Jovi does to you. :D czcams.com/video/8OJtproWy5M/video.html
What really happened is Jon didn't work on his voice. Richie is a true artist . Jon let his voice go so they were at odds bit Jon's the face so Richie had too g.
Bon jovi rules, forever!! If an entire audience from any country, can sing their own song, word for word, right back to them, that really says something!!! My heart would be soaring! Prayer is their longest running number 1. If that doesn't say something... the best song ever written, past, present, and future! Age is just a number! Bon jovi still rocks, and still puts on a hell of a show!!! BON JOVI RULES, FOREVER! ALWAYS AND FOREVER A JOVI GIRL!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Jon Bon Jovi will always be my #1. Loved his music, have his albums. He's a truly good human who was a loyal family man & always tried to give his best. Best wishes to his future. Plenty of laurels to rest on! ❤

NOT.............FOR A FUCKING SECOND !!!!!!!!! A Few grand for him giving us a childhood, giving us beautiful memories MATE.. I'D PAY THAT PRICE ANY DAY Why did i leave that out hmmm i don't know... maybe because i didn't give him $410 Million, and i'm guessing neither did you and ... do i blame him or persecute any of the boys for collectively getting together $410 Million NO.... GOOD ON EM I'll tell you something as a fact, I grew up very poor i listened to jon as i was growing up, I listened to the words to livin on a prayer , We gotta hold on to what we got at certain interviews he said "if you really want something , you'll have it" anyway ... I listened and today i am successful and i run a successful business and i'm no longer poor, Haven't been for quite some time now, a few decades in fact a lot of that was attributed to learning lessons from Jon, ok Am i pissed... NO, I'M THANKFUL and if i was ever to meet jon i would give him money to say thank you (at least that'd be my first reaction) then my logic kicks in and tells me, he doesn't need the money (I mean, honestly ... If a person borrows a few thousand dollars from me and can't pay it back, i really don't need it either , i can do without it and it won't hurt me) so if that's the case, i imagine jon is fine. In the end, i'd probably give him a big hug and say thank you DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION Now.... Why have you got the poops ??? Would you like a big Bon Jovi fan hug Tell Uncle Martin everything.... it's ok mate don't be afraid, Just take a breath and let it all out :P but yeah, what's up with you though are you pissed or something ? would you like a million dollars or something like that
@@martinkuliza LOL! You seem to be missing the point. Celebrity worship is stupid and you clearly have a severe case of celebrity worship. Its great that Bon Jovi had an impact on your life, there is nothing wrong with that. But you seem to be ignoring that its a business for him. A job. While you might have strong feelings for him, I can promise you that he doesn't give a damn about you beyond being glad he has fans. He wrote his songs for money, he does his shows for money. He's happy for his fans but nothing beyond that. I met Jon once, Im from Jersey, he use to come into the place I worked. He was a nice guy. But at the end of the day, the worship stuff is ridiculous.
@@delawarehistory1675 RE "You seem to be missing the point. Celebrity worship is stupid and you clearly have a severe case of celebrity worship." LMFAO...... Celebrity WORSHIP LOL Mate, Let me enlighten you to a little fact, ok 1. No it's not worship , it's Being thankful 2. I have met more celebrities in my life than i can count at this stage, I have met, Talent, Crew, (spot ops, Cam operators, Stunt people, Audio and video Engineers, directors, Producers) I'm 49, I got over celebrity worship when i was like, maybe 22 or something No mate, ... You are SEVERLY MISTAKEN I also actually have 2 close friends that are also celebrities and if i mentioned their name you'd know them. the names are not the point, the point is I AM BEYOND CELEBRITY WORSHIP, Normal people have either not met any celebrities or maybe 1 or 2 and they suffer the condition that you refer to, I have met over 100 and worked with them and i know perhaps 30 of them pretty well..... YOU'VE CHOSEN THE WRONG PERSON TO PICK FOR CELEBRITY WORSHIP LOL Now that being said 3. I am THANKFUL to Bands like Metallica, Bon Jovi, Kiss, ACDC,Led Zep for assisting me in growing up when times were tough it's not a worship, it's just simply someone saying the right thing at the right time to help you through something 4. Now further to point 3, I simply expressed my thoughts in my original comment, You then took a big right hand turn and brought money into it , SO HOW ABOUT WE DISCUSS THAT, because that seems to be your biggest concern. You say i'm missing the point........... NO MATE I DON'T THINK I AM 5 "But you seem to be ignoring that its a business for him" NOT AT ALL, I'm a business owner myself, I FULLY !!!! Understand that it's a business and i understand how it's run let me give you a scenario (Regarding my business) Let's assume ...... I build i computers (which i do ) and let's assume that i normal sell them for $1500 (which i don't, but let's assume) now let's assume that you are a pensioner and you can't afford more than $100 for a computer... I have a business and i need to make money and i need to capitalize on you, SO I DO THIS.... I build you a computer for free, i install it for free and i say nothing (but , i know deep inside that you will tell others) Now when you tell others i end up getting say 10 more clients off the back of you telling them i was a great bloke CAN WE NOT ARGUE THAT I DID WHAT I DID PURELY FROM A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW ? of course we can DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU DIDN'T GET A BENEFIT OUT OF IT ? No it doesn't DOES THAT MEAN THAT I DON'T FEEL GOOD FOR WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED ? No it doesn't I understand it, don't you worry about that 6. RE " I can promise you that he doesn't give a damn about you beyond being glad he has fans." Are you trying to make me feel bad ? Mate, ... 1. I understand that 2. he still appreciates his fans In the industry the talk is the talk and we all know who is a prick and who is a good guy and who is not liked to work with and who we do like to work with, Jon is on the Nice List in the industry and regardless of it being a business, and regardless that he doesn't know me, HE HAS HELPED ME I'll put it another way I have had customers over the years, Turned out to be Schitzophrenic, Junkies, Alcoholics, Broke TRUTH BE TOLD, i do not want to associate with them, However in my travels i have helped them all in various ways they also appreciate the help, that doesn't mean i want to be their friend, i made money on them, that doesn't mean i'm an arsehole, and it also doesn't mean that i didn't enjoy helping them Jon doesn't know me personally nor do i him, so why would he do anything other than just appreciate me as a fan ? I AM FULLY AWARE OF THIS FACT 7. RE "He wrote his songs for money" No, i disagree, I'm a musican, You write your songs (at least your good one's) because they were cool and you enjoyed them , IF AFTER THAT you can profit on them, why not ? i agree but it doesn't start to be about money. there is of course a fact that when you work out a formula for making songs you can leech off that, sure .... but it doesn't start that way and even if... he purely did it for money DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT DID IN FACT HELP ME WHEN I NEEDED HELP sometimes in life we do things and we don't realize how much it means to someone else it's irrelevant why he wrote his songs what is relevant is..... When i was young (and let's even argue, that i didn't know any better and i was star struck) in a time when life was hard and i needed help, HIS MUSIC WAS THERE (Regardless of his intent of when he wrote it) IT HELPED.. tha'ts all that matters LASTLY RE "I met Jon once, Im from Jersey, he use to come into the place I worked. He was a nice guy. But at the end of the day, the worship stuff is ridiculous. " 1. Ok, you met him ONCE... lol I mean, congratulations, I haven't , but it's not like you worked with him or you see him regularly and have coffee with him every morning 2. Exactly .. he's a nice guy, which concurs with what i've heard 3. it's cool that your'e from Jersey and i can understand how you would have seen him , that's fine 4. as for the worship stuff, I DON'T WORSHIP HIM , this is the impression you have formed Worship and Being Thankful are 2 different things Jon has a charity house, Now, the homeless people that he helps, I'm sure THEY ARE THANKFUL, Now, not all of them can be Bon Jovi Fans but (and if i can add this) 100,000,000 Homeless people can't be wrong LMFAO... (sorry couldn't help myself) but my point was... they don't have to worship him either, BUT THEY CAN BE THANKFUL FOR HIM GIVING THEM FOOD Now is the charity a business.. of course it fucking is.... but yeah mate, You've got me pegged wrong I'm beyond celebrity worship but i also respect who helped me when i was young and a lot of them don't even know it DOES THAT CHANGE THAT IT HELPED ME ? No it doesn't I'm just thankful mate, and i appreciate what he gave to the world (even though it was ultimately for business and profit purposes) Profit doesn't make someone an arsehole I profit very well every single day , I'm not an arsehole i got out every day (except Sunday) and i genuinely do my best to help who i can if i told my clients how much i made, i assure you their jaw would drop, but .. IT DOESN'T MAKE ME AN ARSEHOLE if i figured out how to be successful, ok I get what you're saying but.. You're incorrect unfortunately ... ok
@@delawarehistory1675 Oh.. and if you do run into jon Do me a favour, ok Tell him "There is a guy in sydney called martin who has been there from the beginning , who has never met you and wants to say thank you for the help that you unknowingly gave him growing up" I imagine if he hears this it would put a smile on his face, even though he has millions, an additional smile doesn't hurt i'm just thankful mate, that's all
Bon jovi el canta no hace play back Como otros, apesar de los años su voz sigue siendo igual y seguirá siendo el mejor de los y tiempos en rock 👍🏽 😊 ya sea de los 80, 90 o en la actualidad a las personas nos gusta y nos gustara siempre por q es su legado q se ganó a pulso
Hermosas y verdaderas palabras de un fan!!! Estoy harta de los que critican, cuando una banda te acompaño toda tu vida con su poesía y musica, siempre estará en tu corazón ❤️ aguante BON JOVI carajo!!!
Jon Bon Jovi had known vocal issues due to his high energy singing style. So it's natural that at an older age performance will degrade. What matters are the memories and the experience. Legends.
@@petera.michaelsen4657 No, they should retire. Better to remember a band when they were in their prime than to watch them slowly turn into dinosaurs, unable to move and unable to sing, using backing tracks like the fucking Backstreet boys etc.
People forget when you are a rock singer then voice will change.!!!!!! 40 yrs did a toll on his. And its because of him trying to please his fans. He puts on the biggest show then anyone. And he toured For 4 years straight. the whole band was burned out. the took a long break . But he is still the same man he was 30 yrs ago in his heart. He will always be the great Jon Bon Jovi !!!! They will always be a great band_!!!!!
All for money, he sold out, and lost his voice now he can’t sing for peanuts he was great but now he should give it up, it happens to a lot of singers but they hate losing the fame…
You wrote a wonderful comment. ❤ I agree with you & you put it so nicely. I can't believe it's been 36yrs since he's been entertaining. I Love Bon Jovi & always will. They've stayed together so long. Got me thru alot of heart breaks.
No care even the voice change..still bon Jovi..and I still admire him since childhood..... My respect for to the band bon Jovi..love u guys..36 yrs of existense
I’d care if I didn’t know he can’t sing at all anymore and bought a ticket to see his show. He’s damaged his vocal chords beyond repair after 30+ years.. It’s time to say goodbye.
Notable lo de Bon Jovi mantiene prácticamente la misma fuerza,lucidez y tono de voz a lo largo d 31 años quizás pocos cantantes logran esto y mas en este genero musical.gracias Bon Jovi por esto. 👋👋
I’m just amazed Jon was able to belt out that chorus for as long as he did even if his voice did change over the years. Imagine screaming that for as many shows as he did throughout his career. I remember probably it had to be around 15 years ago now I went to an Eddie Money concert. It wasn’t really a concert I guess. It was an outdoor festival with food and and beer and stuff and also music. He was one of the main acts. The bands would only sing a few songs. When he sang “Take Me Home Tonight” as soon as he got to the chorus he just stopped singing and told us (the crowd) “Sing it for me.” Now that’s all well and good. I’ve seen tons of singers involve the crowd, but they actually sing along with the crowd. I just know that Eddie couldn’t muster up that chorus. His voice was shot.
I would like to add, this song is INCREDIBLY hard to sing, even as strong young person. Now try singing these exact vocals for 30 plus years, on top of numerous other songs, jumping around on stage, and belting it out every single time. Jon Bon Jovi is legendary. And I’d listen to him sing for another 30 years.❤
Yes it is very hard. I've tried and I struggle with the chorus. I have had some singing training, but not too much. Bon Jovi is indeed a legend, however Steven Tyler still manages to hit the high notes in his songs and does indeed belt it out every single time he sings.
Yep , everyone loves to try it at karaoke and then realises its not easy.. even pretty decent singers. He was never the best singer ever, but he is hard to imitate.
I am a singer who at 62 can feel the difference in my voice. I have always admired both Jon Bon Jovi and Paul McCartney for singing well as long as they did. They must have been doing something right in their younger days to still be able to sing now. The other singer who surprises me is Rod Stewart. I truly thought he would lose his voice after a few years singing like he did, but he's still going!!
La voce è ovviamente diversa,ma rimane uno dei vocalist più iconici del panorama rock mondiale,e i Bon Jovi sono ancora oggi una grandissima band, anche se purtroppo Richie è andato via!
Only one version (1987) was played in the original key of E minor. All other versions (from 1988 to 2018) were played a half-step down in E flat minor. All of the performances were excellent!
I share my Birthday with him, March 2nd. The years are different. Huge crush since his first album, I was 16. Still Love 💘 him & band. I'm 51 now & what a ride. Awesome music, amazing song writer.
@@kathyroberts3667 Kathy, just wanted to say Hi. Great to hear you've been a dedicated long time fan like me. 👍 They can still ROCK. Did you notice, whenever I'm down I listen to BonJovi songs. My mood instantly changes positive. 💘 Love them always.
Rocking on as always! His spirit has never changed. Voice change happens over the year so it's normal. He is still the one and only jon bon jovi and his band will NEVER CHANGE!
Once appoint a time, I seen/heard BON JOVI…. Not so long ago, met Mr JBJ & now I c a Great Human Being that continues 2 make this World a Better Place….. I’m honored 2 state that Glad I supported Him & Awesome Band, BON JOVI 4 yrs….. Will Always til my dying day!!!💕💜💐👏🏻
I'm just thinking about how the song went from a rock song in 1987 to sounding more like a pop or adult contemporary song in 2018. Guitars are way quieter, and there's a piano? Strange when bands do this.
Back in the early 90s, some bloke at school told me he was into metal once. I just looked art him, eyebrow raised and asked for an example. He gave Bon Jovi and I laughed so hard at him, I was on the verge of passing out.
Bon Jovi probably one of our best bands ever, just wish people would get off Jon’s back, like us all he’s getting on, one good comment was about Ritchie Sambora been a strong singer in the band, so true. Keep on Rocking Jon 👍🏻
Thank you for your support and great love towards my music my dear fan, i pray your continous support doesn't stop. -How long have you been listening or watching to my music or content?
Trop cool cette chanson, c'est vraiment très très cool ! Tu es vraiment un homme incroyable et unique Jon. Y Love You Jon mon amour platonique 💟❤️💟❤️💟❤️💟

Having been a professional (gigging) musician for over 40 years, I feel for him. While I still have about 90% of the range I had then, there are a lot of "staple" songs that either have to be pitched down (like JBJ did in concert, as evidenced in ALL these clips), or done away with completely. I'm not particularly a fan of his or his music, but kudos to him for still going out and quite obviously give the audience a hellacious show.
Mi hermano era fanatico de jon bon jovi ponia a todo volumen esa musica en la casa y cada vez que escucho esa melodia me recuerda a él y nunca lo voy a olvidar
Underwhelming performances later on. So sad. And think that this one was one of my favorite songs, if not my favorite song by them. I am thankful that at least Queen found a new youth thanks to Adam Lambert. Went to their gig in Bologna and it was incredible. Best day of my life really!

No matter what their voices sound like, they hold their loyal audiences, and it’s far better than today’s crap will ever be. I like them a lot; always have. As a Freddie Mercury die hard, I love the real musicians that had raw, God given talent. No auto tune, no BS.
Singing and performing like he did is like playing sports on the highest level. Most people can’t even sing one single Bon Jovi song proper, he did it night after night for fourty years. Lots of respect for this man and his music.

2. He gave us a childhood
3. He gave us memories that we'll remember forever
And we gave hhim $410 million and fame. Why do you leave that part out?
@@delawarehistory1675
LOL
1. You sound pissed, Is there a reason for that ?
2. as for 410 Million dollars, DID YOU GIVE HIM THAT ? I didn't
i reckon over the years , all the records, tapes and some CD's , all the shirts, jackets, and concerts, I reckon a few grand on my part, Certainly not in the millions
Do i regret that........
NOT.............FOR A FUCKING SECOND !!!!!!!!!
A Few grand for him giving us a childhood, giving us beautiful memories
MATE.. I'D PAY THAT PRICE ANY DAY
Why did i leave that out
hmmm i don't know... maybe because i didn't give him $410 Million, and i'm guessing neither did you
and ... do i blame him or persecute any of the boys for collectively getting together $410 Million
NO.... GOOD ON EM
I'll tell you something as a fact, I grew up very poor
i listened to jon as i was growing up, I listened to the words to livin on a prayer , We gotta hold on to what we got
at certain interviews he said "if you really want something , you'll have it"
anyway ... I listened and today i am successful and i run a successful business and i'm no longer poor, Haven't been for quite some time now, a few decades in fact
a lot of that was attributed to learning lessons from Jon, ok
Am i pissed... NO, I'M THANKFUL
and if i was ever to meet jon i would give him money to say thank you (at least that'd be my first reaction) then my logic kicks in and tells me, he doesn't need the money (I mean, honestly ... If a person borrows a few thousand dollars from me and can't pay it back, i really don't need it either , i can do without it and it won't hurt me) so if that's the case, i imagine jon is fine.
In the end, i'd probably give him a big hug and say thank you
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION
Now.... Why have you got the poops ???
Would you like a big Bon Jovi fan hug
Tell Uncle Martin everything.... it's ok mate don't be afraid, Just take a breath and let it all out :P
but yeah, what's up with you though
are you pissed or something ?
would you like a million dollars or something like that
@@martinkuliza LOL! You seem to be missing the point. Celebrity worship is stupid and you clearly have a severe case of celebrity worship. Its great that Bon Jovi had an impact on your life, there is nothing wrong with that. But you seem to be ignoring that its a business for him. A job. While you might have strong feelings for him, I can promise you that he doesn't give a damn about you beyond being glad he has fans. He wrote his songs for money, he does his shows for money. He's happy for his fans but nothing beyond that.
I met Jon once, Im from Jersey, he use to come into the place I worked. He was a nice guy. But at the end of the day, the worship stuff is ridiculous.

RE "You seem to be missing the point. Celebrity worship is stupid and you clearly have a severe case of celebrity worship."
LMFAO...... Celebrity WORSHIP LOL
Mate, Let me enlighten you to a little fact, ok
1. No it's not worship , it's Being thankful
2. I have met more celebrities in my life than i can count at this stage, I have met, Talent, Crew, (spot ops, Cam operators, Stunt people, Audio and video Engineers, directors, Producers) I'm 49, I got over celebrity worship when i was like, maybe 22 or something
No mate, ... You are SEVERLY MISTAKEN I also actually have 2 close friends that are also celebrities and if i mentioned their name you'd know them.
the names are not the point, the point is I AM BEYOND CELEBRITY WORSHIP,
Normal people have either not met any celebrities or maybe 1 or 2 and they suffer the condition that you refer to, I have met over 100 and worked with them and i know perhaps 30 of them pretty well..... YOU'VE CHOSEN THE WRONG PERSON TO PICK FOR CELEBRITY WORSHIP LOL
Now that being said
3. I am THANKFUL to Bands like Metallica, Bon Jovi, Kiss, ACDC,Led Zep for assisting me in growing up when times were tough
it's not a worship, it's just simply someone saying the right thing at the right time to help you through something
4. Now further to point 3, I simply expressed my thoughts in my original comment, You then took a big right hand turn and brought money into it ,
SO HOW ABOUT WE DISCUSS THAT, because that seems to be your biggest concern.
You say i'm missing the point........... NO MATE I DON'T THINK I AM
5 "But you seem to be ignoring that its a business for him"
NOT AT ALL, I'm a business owner myself, I FULLY !!!! Understand that it's a business and i understand how it's run
let me give you a scenario (Regarding my business)
Let's assume ...... I build i computers (which i do ) and let's assume that i normal sell them for $1500 (which i don't, but let's assume)
now let's assume that you are a pensioner and you can't afford more than $100 for a computer...
I have a business and i need to make money and i need to capitalize on you, SO I DO THIS....
I build you a computer for free, i install it for free and i say nothing
(but , i know deep inside that you will tell others)
Now when you tell others i end up getting say 10 more clients off the back of you telling them i was a great bloke
CAN WE NOT ARGUE THAT I DID WHAT I DID PURELY FROM A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW ?
of course we can
DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU DIDN'T GET A BENEFIT OUT OF IT ?
No it doesn't
DOES THAT MEAN THAT I DON'T FEEL GOOD FOR WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED ?
No it doesn't
I understand it, don't you worry about that
6. RE " I can promise you that he doesn't give a damn about you beyond being glad he has fans."
Are you trying to make me feel bad ?
Mate, ...
1. I understand that
2. he still appreciates his fans
In the industry the talk is the talk and we all know who is a prick and who is a good guy and who is not liked to work with and who we do like to work with, Jon is on the Nice List in the industry
and regardless of it being a business, and regardless that he doesn't know me, HE HAS HELPED ME
I'll put it another way
I have had customers over the years, Turned out to be Schitzophrenic, Junkies, Alcoholics, Broke
TRUTH BE TOLD, i do not want to associate with them, However in my travels i have helped them all in various ways
they also appreciate the help, that doesn't mean i want to be their friend, i made money on them, that doesn't mean i'm an arsehole, and it also doesn't mean that i didn't enjoy helping them
Jon doesn't know me personally nor do i him, so why would he do anything other than just appreciate me as a fan ?
I AM FULLY AWARE OF THIS FACT
7. RE "He wrote his songs for money"
No, i disagree, I'm a musican, You write your songs (at least your good one's) because they were cool and you enjoyed them , IF AFTER THAT you can profit on them, why not ? i agree
but it doesn't start to be about money.
there is of course a fact that when you work out a formula for making songs you can leech off that, sure ....
but it doesn't start that way
and even if... he purely did it for money
DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT DID IN FACT HELP ME WHEN I NEEDED HELP
sometimes in life we do things and we don't realize how much it means to someone else
it's irrelevant why he wrote his songs
what is relevant is..... When i was young (and let's even argue, that i didn't know any better and i was star struck) in a time when life was hard and i needed help, HIS MUSIC WAS THERE (Regardless of his intent of when he wrote it) IT HELPED.. tha'ts all that matters
LASTLY
RE "I met Jon once, Im from Jersey, he use to come into the place I worked. He was a nice guy. But at the end of the day, the worship stuff is ridiculous.
"
1. Ok, you met him ONCE... lol
I mean, congratulations, I haven't , but it's not like you worked with him or you see him regularly and have coffee with him every morning
2. Exactly .. he's a nice guy, which concurs with what i've heard
3. it's cool that your'e from Jersey and i can understand how you would have seen him , that's fine
4. as for the worship stuff, I DON'T WORSHIP HIM , this is the impression you have formed
Worship and Being Thankful are 2 different things
Jon has a charity house,
Now, the homeless people that he helps, I'm sure THEY ARE THANKFUL, Now, not all of them can be Bon Jovi Fans
but (and if i can add this) 100,000,000 Homeless people can't be wrong
LMFAO... (sorry couldn't help myself)
but my point was... they don't have to worship him either, BUT THEY CAN BE THANKFUL FOR HIM GIVING THEM FOOD
Now is the charity a business.. of course it fucking is....
but yeah mate, You've got me pegged wrong
I'm beyond celebrity worship
but i also respect who helped me when i was young and a lot of them don't even know it
DOES THAT CHANGE THAT IT HELPED ME ?
No it doesn't
I'm just thankful mate, and i appreciate what he gave to the world
(even though it was ultimately for business and profit purposes)
Profit doesn't make someone an arsehole
I profit very well every single day , I'm not an arsehole
i got out every day (except Sunday) and i genuinely do my best to help who i can
if i told my clients how much i made, i assure you their jaw would drop,
but .. IT DOESN'T MAKE ME AN ARSEHOLE if i figured out how to be successful, ok
I get what you're saying
but.. You're incorrect unfortunately ... ok
@@delawarehistory1675
Oh.. and if you do run into jon
Do me a favour, ok
Tell him "There is a guy in sydney called martin who has been there from the beginning , who has never met you and wants to say thank you for the help that you unknowingly gave him growing up"
I imagine if he hears this it would put a smile on his face, even though he has millions, an additional smile doesn't hurt
i'm just thankful mate, that's all
Uno de los mejores! Me quito el sombrero frente a él!! Su música es brillante ! Me encanta !! 😍🥰😘
Bon jovi el canta no hace play back Como otros, apesar de los años su voz sigue siendo igual y seguirá siendo el mejor de los y tiempos en rock 👍🏽 😊 ya sea de los 80, 90 o en la actualidad a las personas nos gusta y nos gustara siempre por q es su legado q se ganó a pulso
Hermosas y verdaderas palabras de un fan!!! Estoy harta de los que critican, cuando una banda te acompaño toda tu vida con su poesía y musica, siempre estará en tu corazón ❤️ aguante BON JOVI carajo!!!
ありがとう。私の人生はジョンの歌がずっと側にあったよ。今日も最低の気分だったけど、ジョンの歌で救われた。
また日本にも来て歌ってほしい。
Bon Jovi es y seguirá siendo increíble.❤
Mi sueño es ver alguna vez a Bon Jovi en vivo :(
it doesnt make a different if he make it or not, still love bon jovi 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for including bon jovi footage from 1987
As a vocalist and a ageing man I've learned how to use and learn as I grew older! As did Mr Bon Jovi as we the rest of this amazing band from Jersey!!
Боже, как трогательно.... Прекрасный человек, прекрасная музыка.
Jon Bon Jovi had known vocal issues due to his high energy singing style. So it's natural that at an older age performance will degrade. What matters are the memories and the experience. Legends.
He's never been known as a stellar singer, so it's really not an issue if his voice has deteriorated over the years
Legends? Most of their hits were written by a ghost writer.
They should lower their key.
@@petera.michaelsen4657 ...into a casket.
@@petera.michaelsen4657 No, they should retire. Better to remember a band when they were in their prime than to watch them slowly turn into dinosaurs, unable to move and unable to sing, using backing tracks like the fucking Backstreet boys etc.
People forget when you are a rock singer then voice will change.!!!!!! 40 yrs did a toll
on his. And its because of him trying to please his fans. He puts on the biggest show then anyone. And he toured For 4 years straight. the whole band was burned out. the took a long break . But he is still the same man he was 30 yrs ago
in his heart. He will always be the great Jon Bon Jovi !!!!
They will always be a great band_!!!!!
All for money, he sold out, and lost his voice now he can’t sing for peanuts he was great but now he should give it up, it happens to a lot of singers but they hate losing the fame…
You wrote a wonderful comment. ❤ I agree with you & you put it so nicely. I can't believe it's been 36yrs since he's been entertaining.
I Love Bon Jovi & always will. They've stayed together so long. Got me thru alot of heart breaks.
of course people don't forget
Los años 80 y 90 fue las décadas de las mejores musicas en todos los tipos en el mundo
oh so happy to have you all ❤❤❤❣❣ as my family, the band and me will always be the best, we rise by lifting others
No care even the voice change..still bon Jovi..and I still admire him since childhood..... My respect for to the band bon Jovi..love u guys..36 yrs of existense
Correct!
You got that right!
your right
I’d care if I didn’t know he can’t sing at all anymore and bought a ticket to see his show. He’s damaged his vocal chords beyond repair after 30+ years.. It’s time to say goodbye.
He’s 11 years past his time retiring. I was a super fan. It’s time to hang up his travelling shoes and enjoy his $400 million
Enamorada de Bon Jovi como aquel 1986 que mis ojos lo vieron por primera vez.
私は２０２２年に恋をした💖💞❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Notable lo de Bon Jovi mantiene prácticamente la misma fuerza,lucidez y tono de voz a lo largo d 31 años quizás pocos cantantes logran esto y mas en este genero musical.gracias Bon Jovi por esto. 👋👋
I’m just amazed Jon was able to belt out that chorus for as long as he did even if his voice did change over the years. Imagine screaming that for as many shows as he did throughout his career.
I remember probably it had to be around 15 years ago now I went to an Eddie Money concert. It wasn’t really a concert I guess. It was an outdoor festival with food and and beer and stuff and also music. He was one of the main acts. The bands would only sing a few songs. When he sang “Take Me Home Tonight” as soon as he got to the chorus he just stopped singing and told us (the crowd) “Sing it for me.” Now that’s all well and good. I’ve seen tons of singers involve the crowd, but they actually sing along with the crowd. I just know that Eddie couldn’t muster up that chorus. His voice was shot.
Great, regardless the years and their toll on his voice . Love him and the band regardless 💖🙏🏼👍🥰💖
When you're Jon Bon Jovi, you've aged, and your voice has lost some range... it doesn't matter. You're STILL Jon Bon Jovi!
When you are a professional singer that can no longer sing... it indeed does matter.
They’re the legend and still . Thank you to make this video
Ayer, hoy y siempre, Bon Jovi!!!
Classic rocker move:
Making the audience sing when you can’t hit the high notes anymore
I would like to add, this song is INCREDIBLY hard to sing, even as strong young person.
Now try singing these exact vocals for 30 plus years, on top of numerous other songs, jumping around on stage, and belting it out every single time.
Jon Bon Jovi is legendary.
And I’d listen to him sing for another 30 years.❤
Yes it is very hard. I've tried and I struggle with the chorus. I have had some singing training, but not too much.
Bon Jovi is indeed a legend, however Steven Tyler still manages to hit the high notes in his songs and does indeed belt it out every single time he sings.
Same girl. Idk why people are being so rude about his voice changing, like get over yourselves he’s amazing
Yep , everyone loves to try it at karaoke and then realises its not easy.. even pretty decent singers. He was never the best singer ever, but he is hard to imitate.
Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate ❤
@@c0wb0ykiller_08 Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate ❤
Veo que todos hablan del proceso de cambio de bon Jovi, pero nadie habla del excelente trabajo de edición...
I am a singer who at 62 can feel the difference in my voice. I have always admired both Jon Bon Jovi and Paul McCartney for singing well as long as they did. They must have been doing something right in their younger days to still be able to sing now. The other singer who surprises me is Rod Stewart. I truly thought he would lose his voice after a few years singing like he did, but he's still going!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate ❤
Genteee olha essa menininha no meio da multidão (memórias,tenho a certeza que ela se lembra desse momento! ♡
La voce è ovviamente diversa,ma rimane uno dei vocalist più iconici del panorama rock mondiale,e i Bon Jovi sono ancora oggi una grandissima band, anche se purtroppo Richie è andato via!
Only one version (1987) was played in the original key of E minor. All other versions (from 1988 to 2018) were played a half-step down in E flat minor. All of the performances were excellent!
Richie, Richie, Richie! Come back! Just for one concert! You took Bongiovi's soul with you...
Lo mejor, por siempre y para siempre.
I share my Birthday with him, March 2nd. The years are different.
Huge crush since his first album, I was 16. Still Love 💘 him & band. I'm 51 now & what a ride. Awesome music, amazing song writer.
Yea, I am 58. Still love them
@@kathyroberts3667 Kathy, just wanted to say Hi. Great to hear you've been a dedicated long time fan like me. 👍 They can still ROCK. Did you notice, whenever I'm down I listen to BonJovi songs. My mood instantly changes positive. 💘 Love them always.
Rocking on as always! His spirit has never changed. Voice change happens over the year so it's normal. He is still the one and only jon bon jovi and his band will NEVER CHANGE!
Once appoint a time, I seen/heard BON JOVI…. Not so long ago, met Mr JBJ & now I c a Great Human Being that continues 2 make this World a Better Place….. I’m honored 2 state that Glad I supported Him & Awesome Band, BON JOVI 4 yrs….. Will Always til my dying day!!!💕💜💐👏🏻
Upon
LoL…. Yes, Thx Siri!! I’m Southern & she doesn’t always understand my accent…. Guess, I should type it myself….
I'm just thinking about how the song went from a rock song in 1987 to sounding more like a pop or adult contemporary song in 2018. Guitars are way quieter, and there's a piano? Strange when bands do this.
There was always keyboards
it always was la bamba... now is LA BAMBA!
@@gavindalziel9022 piano though? And I can hear the piano more than the guitars in later versions.
Cómo el pocos
Desde que lo escuche la primera ves me gusto su música
Y de joven tube la oportunidad de conoserlo en Reyno aventura
Fue muy amable
He"s voice still great and handsome too. Bon jovi never die legend singer ❤
BON JOVI FOREVER! 🎵🤘🎵
목소리가 변해도 괜찮아요
여전히, 앞으로도 계속 사랑합니다~
본조비 포에버~~
Back in the early 90s, some bloke at school told me he was into metal once.
I just looked art him, eyebrow raised and asked for an example.
He gave Bon Jovi and I laughed so hard at him, I was on the verge of passing out.
８０年代の若き日の時代、あの頃は貴方はデビューしてから、スーパースターになりました。とても光輝いている貴方の笑顔が今にも思い出です。貴方の祈りのリビオンを、聞かせて🎤🎸😎
Bon Jovi es uno de los buenos buenos los sigo de siempre mostruos
There are songs that will outlast lifetimes, this is one of them.
Nobody gets younger... but he still ages gracefully. ;-)
Recording and live sound equipment has also come along way. At least the Talk Box still sounds as cool as it ever has.
Muito bom, fantástico
El tiempo pasa ,pesa,pisa.lo disfruté muchísimo en los 80'👍
Обожаю! Какой же ты классный! Столько лет прошло,а ты всё равно ЛУЧШИЙ!
Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate ❤
Bon Jovi probably one of our best bands ever, just wish people would get off Jon’s back, like us all he’s getting on, one good comment was about Ritchie Sambora been a strong singer in the band, so true. Keep on Rocking Jon 👍🏻
Beautyful song ! And on such performance or big concert, you need a back vokal as support. Jon Bon Jovi has all us as support in singing his song.
87nem era nascida ainda, mais amoooo esse cara de maisssssss
Tbm sou muito fã dele...Apesar de ter 21! acho que não tem idade pra escolher nossos ídolos!!!
Tahun saya lahir tahun 87
Loved him then Love him now! ALWAYS!
Immer wieder faszinierend ❤❤❤
Living on a Prayer is my favorite song!
I think if Richie was still there, he would have talked to Jon & let him know his voice was not up to par. Very sad. 😞
Probably why Ritchie quit, he didn't want to rip off the fans.
Thank you for your support and great love towards my music my dear fan, i pray your continous support doesn't stop.

Maravilloso
Having been a professional (gigging) musician for over 40 years, I feel for him. While I still have about 90% of the range I had then, there are a lot of "staple" songs that either have to be pitched down (like JBJ did in concert, as evidenced in ALL these clips), or done away with completely. I'm not particularly a fan of his or his music, but kudos to him for still going out and quite obviously give the audience a hellacious show.
I LOVE this guy. He's quite the entertainer.
Mi hermano era fanatico de jon bon jovi ponia a todo volumen esa musica en la casa y cada vez que escucho esa melodia me recuerda a él y nunca lo voy a olvidar
También mi hermano ,en el año 1989 subía el volumen murió en el 2009 y me trae nostalgia
Underwhelming performances later on. So sad. And think that this one was one of my favorite songs, if not my favorite song by them. I am thankful that at least Queen found a new youth thanks to Adam Lambert. Went to their gig in Bologna and it was incredible. Best day of my life really!
Just as awesome as they were from day 1!

Absolute legends of rock .. no matter the year ..
No matter what their voices sound like, they hold their loyal audiences, and it’s far better than today’s crap will ever be.
I like them a lot; always have.
As a Freddie Mercury die hard, I love the real musicians that had raw, God given talent. No auto tune, no BS.
