Rest and rock in peace, Alec. Glad you got to be honoured the way you deserved before your passing
What!!! No 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Damn didn't know Alec had passed!
Merecido homenaje a Alex John integrante de la banda de Jon😇
Alec John Such... you deserve to be remembered.
no he betrayed the band apparently
I love alec i know he has some reasons why he did it and I understand that, i like him he deserves it.
RIP Alec :(
@@justincase6058 R.I.P Alec.
Life is just like the wind...
Dont think he betrayed the band- they were unhappy with his live performances- I think he and Jon had a fight or something like that- watched a documentary very long ago- if he left he left because of John and Richie complaining- not that he wanted to leave
Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora they were like a married couple for so long there friendship is admirable and it made rock in the 80 and even TODAY
Tico is the most underrated drummer in rock and roll. He’s beyond talented!
I love Tico Torres 🎉❤
First of all, he can’t sing Bon Jovi second of all there’s the most overrated band in history. The only reason he got in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame is because he’s a liberal! what they have #2 hit songs!
So true. I had the chance to meet him, years ago in the streets of Kõln
Richie Samboras guitar is as much Bon Jovi as is Jon is the voice. They are equal and forever joined.
@@dante8227 He definitely does now.
Well said
No way. Anyone could have played guitar in that band. He was an average guitar player with some singing ability.
@@jimwilbur2898 Creativity and charisma are factors too.
Richy Sambora maravilloso guitarrista
One of the best speeches that I've ever heard from a band . I'm glad I grew listening to their music. RIP Alec, one of the best bassist of all time.
Super boring speech actually
Richie and Jon together made the group. One without the other just isn't the same.To see these two relate onstage is awesome. They played off each other along with the other band members
RIP ALEC.
You brought it all together.
Jon and Richie will forever be one.
Jon's speech was incredible.
I met Alec Such when he bought a new home from me in Colts Neck, NJ. We became friends not just with him but with his brother and mother. We had many good times, He was a great person and was sorry to hear he had passed.
Love Richie's voice!
And the world is still living on a prayer.
unfortunatlly
Always gotta be a Debbie downer smh
Well not NOW
Richie's speech is classic. He truly loves humanity and love. He did bring smiles to people and that's what it's all about. Today's music is nothing because Humanity is shot with these artists complaining about not being nominated. Richie is all about the people loving music.
The crowd going crazy when Richie is called to the mic. THAT IS IT. Sambora needs to come back. (Am I dreaming?)
Need to come back Richie !!!...u r a part of the nucleus that may the band successful!!!
Richie is and always will be Bon Jovi! Jon is really talented too but Richie always had his back and made Bon Jovi what it was. His creativity and song writing is incredible. He knows how to feel a certain way when playing and singing, hell the man could play blind folded and make the songs sound like art. Bon Jovi needs you Richie please comeback!
Let us not forget that he has to face his demons
1000%
@@stingerfan30 Not true at all. Not true at all.
Take the lead singer and there's no band there.
Just like in Queen.
Jon's voice is magic. I would have never listened to that band if it was not his unique singing.
Writing the songs together, yes I give that to both but carrying the band to heights was that voice not the instruments.
Man Ritchie is the best lead guitar as well as the best back up singer
I have loved John Bon Jovi ever since I heard "Runaway " on the radio. Ive been a die hard fan ever since, and will die as a happy fan. THANK YOU for giving us some of the BEST music this world has ever heard. And, if Richie ever did come back, I can guarantee you that your concerts will be sold out everywhere you go. 🎸 ❤🎉
No words to express the world's greatest rock band
yes there are words - richie sambora is the sound of bon jovi.
One of the Greatest!!!!
Richie Sambora is the rock musician all instruments confounded that I've enjoyed listening the most through the course of my life. What an incredible musician.
John’s speech is one of the best, it’s interesting to hear how the band members came together. I have absolutely no idea what goes on in this music industry but this group always seemed to give out positive energy.
Is there anything Jon can not do? what a speech!
Rip Alec, you will be missed, we love you
“Wanted” is my favorite Bon Jovi song by a long shot! Greatest rock anthem ever put to tape! Rip Alec John Such 🙏
I admire him for giving honor to this parents and his own family. Really a good family man.
Congratulations Bon Jovi and all the band members!
What family he is not even married he is a drunk that's why Jon bon Jovi kicked him out of the band and he still is drunk he's drunk right there on stage
Jon gave one of the best speeches of RRHOF ever
It was good but Alex Lifeson has the greatest speech of all time bar none
@@grahamvarey1144 i fucking hate it ............ i really want him to speak because they never get cool till that day
Jon lost me when he had the gall to mention 'THINFS' debuting at 1. So fake. Not one person bought that crap record. It was a freebie if you buy a concert ticket
@@seaneag8978 It debuted at the top of the charts in 2016. They did the "concert ticket" trick later in 2018 when they debuted two more songs (for the induction). That said, I didn't like Jon's speech that much, the fans already know the story and the other people don't really care to hear it
@@kiarao2346 You're not a mind reader. The OP has the top rated votes (plus another that said the same thing), not you.
Richie's speech was epic.
Damn, David never gets old.....
And his hair too didn't change
He's like Keanu Reeves :D
I love David. He's adorable.
hahahahaha true!!!! 2021 and hes still the same hahaha
Great tribute & gratitude to Alec from all the bandmates including JBJ. His presence and influence on the bands destiny will never be forgotten.
Without Alec, probably no Bon Jovi ever, as we know it
Thank you God for Bon Jovi 💕🙏 my entire childhood has the most amazing memories of this band. Born in 81 and proud to have been a Jovi fan since I was 4 years old ❤
Bon Jovi is and always will be the soundtrack to my life i think they are the greatest band that ever was i have alot of good memories with their music love you Bon Jovi
Not a word mentioned about their best album "These Days". So many great songs underated, without this album Bon Jovi would not be one of my favorite bands of all time.
Agreed. Amazing album
Awww. I love Richie's Mom's reaction. 💛💛💛
Joan rocks as much as his son!
I was 12 yrs old when I first heard bon jovi livin on a prayer way back in 1986 😀 and now I’m 46 and still love bon jovi ❤️ and loved growing up with em...
Probably the best acceptance speeches I've ever heard. Long but loved the history. As for the thank yous he left no stone unturned.
Jon Bon Jovi is such a wonderful, giving, talented family man, great speech!! Love him and his band.
I love Jon Bon Jovi! He is the best. Love that smile that has keep me going all this years. Thanks Jon.
The truth is
Jon brought the best out of them...he is the head
So true
You r so damn right, bro
truee.. even though most people say that jon sucks and ruined the band, however i agree with them syaing that richie was doing his won thing at another level, they are a great duo
True.
And Richie is the heart, the power train.
Thanks for all of the great music over the years, Bon Jovi! You deserve every bit of the praise. God bless and love you all! ♥️
Good to see Alec!!!
wow wow wow, what a speach by Jon !!! it appears as a little documentary and I love it as I always loved their music
I was actually more impressed with Tico and Alec. Their speeches seemed more real, and more from the heart. Jon's speech just sounded to me like he spent more time trying to write a novel than actually speaking from the heart. As many interviews and other times he's given smaller speeches, none of them ever sounded like this..like he was trying to narrate a film. lol
@@mikeanderson1370 Jon's speech sounded to me like a bit of a pity party too and how he is the most amazing person in the band more than about the band.
@@mikeanderson1370 20 minutes?? Good lord. Did Desmond Child or Max Martin write it for him?
That is the most I have ever heard Jon talk ever, come a long way, Congratulations! Jon and Richie are the best songwriters ever.
Are you serious best songwriters ever.springsteen Dylan Lennon Townsend watters Davies. Jagger Richard's Joel. Billy Joe armstrong.bono and many more are better those 2 and not even close
It was so nice to see the guys all together 😊. My favorite part is 02:05 Huey is so touched, on the verge of tears and then Richie comes to the mic, completely chilled and shouts "Clevelaaaand" 😁. That's a typical Sambora right there 😀. You can tell Jon Bon Jovi was really looking forward to that night his whole life... You know you're the front man when you get two-thirds of the total speaking time 😉. I think the organizers thought, "Gee, keep it short and sing, will ya? We have other bands to honor. Otherwise we'll still be sitting here in 5 hours" 😅.
I Thank You Bon Jovi Band for help me go on in my life when it was so hard to cope. When I lost my mother in 12 years old you were the only thing that got me to cope with in life, your music was for me a way to cope with a really difficult time in my life and I want thank you for it.
REST IN HEAVEN ALEC JOHN SUCH. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED. WE LOVE YOU UNTIL THE END. TO THE WHOLE BAND HUGH,RITCHIE,JON,TICO,DAVID. WE LOVE YOU ALL. MY GOD, YOU ALL INSPIRED ME. YOUR MUSIC ECHOED ALL OVER MY COUNTRY OF PHILIPPINES. EVEN KIDS NOWADAYS STILL CRAZY ABOUT YOUR SONGS. YOUR SONGS ARE IMMORTAL. LISTENING FROM THE ISLAND OF BOHOL,THE PHILIPPINES OCTOBER 08 2022
What an amazing speech. Respect Sir Jon Bon Jovi
Absolutely the greatest band of all time. Richie is no doubt the only guitarist for the band. Always know that Jon bon is the man bon Jovi is the band. Such amazing talent. Can't wait to see you again in Philadelphia
I met them all in a bar called club soda in Vancouver 1986
As a drummer in the club scene
Tico Torres and I spoke at length about the bissness
Enjoyed our drinks and smokes and laughs
Great guys memorable night
Tico is a tremendously underrated drummer. He deserves so many accolades for his incredible talent.
Those of us that are Bon Jovi fans, whether from their beginning like myself or younger generations, we are Bon Jovi FANS FOR LIFE! ❤
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE INDUCTION. God knows it took the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame LONG ENOUGH. Sweet Jesus!
~APRIL LIPKE
Jon and Ritchie you need to put whatever shit you have against each other or whatever the issue may be behind you. You're both getting older. Don't wait for something to happen to either one of you to realize you're a team, brothers, friends. You started this ride together, get back in and burn some rubber!
Chill richie wasnt drunk,he was just enthusiastic for being inducted and reunited with the band
Great speech by Jon.
“He certainly is an extraordinary man!” What an amazing man Jon is & such a talented band!❤️
Time is our most precious commodity we have
Rest in peace, Alec. Rock on. you will always be in mine and all of our hearts. I was a toddler when I found this band, when my dad used to play their songs all the time. Safe to say, I’ve been a fan of them for 10 years. I know I was kinda late, but it ain’t my fault I wasn’t born back in the 80s but, man I wish I was.
Richie is just my favorite, as not only a lead guitarist but as a songwriter, I think his speech was great, I feel like his speech is very from the heart and not as rehearsed as some of the other RRHF speeches
That's exactly why they've clashed, Jon's a structured perfectionist who wrote a speech & Richie lives life as it comes at him. They've always had a bit of a war regarding whether to work harder as Jon wanted or play harder & live life on the fly as Richie wanted. They grew apart as they aged because they weren't willing to meet in the middle any more. They're a great team & probably would've stayed together had Jon chilled just a bit or maybe Richie had been more structured or had both given in a bit. They've worked hard enough I think they deserve to relax a bit, but for some structure's what makes them happy, I guess to each his own. Just thankful they shared their music & lives with us, made my life so much more enjoyable. Had a blast at their concerts & cruising the strip blasting their songs. Some of the best days of my life.
Would go see them again today if I had the chance.
RICHIE SAMBORA IS THE SOUL OF BJ’s BAND
♥️ 🎸 🎤
I AGREE WITH YOU…!
And… besides all this, He is a extremely GORGEOUS MAN…
Lovely 🥰 lovely 🥰

I Love RS♥️🤘🏼
@@Lady-Carmakazi such true comments and i love that you didnt bash any of them just said both at the end had their responsability in their break up😢😢.
They were like Nicky Lauda and James Hunt (Jon the equal to nicky and Richie to James).
Nicky and James were able at the end to be friends because well they didnt have to work together but probably if they were teamates at something like lemans they would have clashed like Jon and Richie.
Now Jon's perfectionism wasnt there early on. It happened probably in the mid 2000s.
wow im gettin older now. i'm already 40.. these are my childhood heroes
You're my golden rockstars, Bon Jovi! You have long deserved this recognition!
Richie... it's never too late my brother!!
What an interesting, humble and lovely story from one of the world's best bands. I grew up with your songs, love every song lyrics and I will forever be your greatest fan. Thank you!
I LOVE THIS BAND. ESPECIALLY FOR JOHN STANDING UP FOR WORKERS RIGHTS. THANK YOU NEW JERSEY FOR GIVING US THESE GREAT GUYS!!
Congratulations YOU GUYS HAVE EARNED IT TRULY
I want to see Richie more.
Come back❣️
from Japan
Best acceptance speech EVER!!!!!
Jon bon jovi you deserved the rock n roll hall of fame rock on boys!!! love you
I used to own their first 4 albums on vinyl, many years ago... time to hunt down & buy those records again
Jon and Richie, Bon Jovi isn’t Bon Jovi without them together
I don't like Phil so much
absolutely agree they are the heart of it
@@bonjovifan4823 Well, it cant be helped, we all feel that way, just like when Van Halen had Gary Cherone, Cherone wasnt bad but he didnt fit, kinda the same way Phil is now, but better than no lead guitar and Bon Jovi disbanding and never be able to hear them play live again ever
Jon Bon Jovi is Bon Jovi.
A guitar doesnt make a band. The voice does, The determination, The Discipline does. All those, Jon had.
Thank you to both Richie and Jon for writing the songs.
Jon's voice gave a unique feel to the songs. So unique that you'll know Bon Jovi with your eyes closed.
Their writing style is unique too.
But there is something beautiful about a band sticking together through thick and thin.
@@sipnog3528 Agreed, while it may be painful to lose some guitarists, it won't affect fan base that much, but if a vocalist is gone, it creates a greater effect just like when Vince Neil left Motley Crue or got fired whatever, fans wanted him back badly, and the Corabi Albums didn't sell well.
Sambora is the soul of Bon Jovi, Jon was the voice , that was great band
yes.
Was the voice , his voice is crap now
А сердце группы Ричи забрал с собой.
@@allanmackay6453 OP: "was the voice". You: "was the voice".
O RLY?!
@@jp3813 yes his voice is shite now
Most "Amazing " Band Ever!! Wonderful Speech By "Jon Bonjovi"💖💖💖💖💖
I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan Thanks for your nice comment on my post, it means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via hangouts using my personal email. Also endeavor to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one texting because I don't reply unnecessary messages.
Hangouts mail: johnfrancisbongiovijr.connect@gmail.com
followed you since 84... they are the real deal...
Tico is very laid back
richie being richie 😂❤️❤️❤️💕👍
I love the joy and happiness Bon Jovi band members and their music gives me and thank them deeply for that. Peace.
A band that took the world by storm with their music. We danced and sang all the songs in the 80s..Best band.. I am sorry that Richie left, but I understand that ppl have their own dreams and who are we to have held him back. Richie got me to fall in love with the Blues......OMG his riffs are orgasmic to say the least..just the best guitar player. Yes he is also hot..lets face it... to be part of their journey is an honor. Jon, .always the happy guy..all the guys are the best artists and they should have been nominated a long time ago. My congratulations to the band for making my life better for all the good times and music..
Top Moje řeč !
JBJ with one of the best speeches ever here
Jon the ultimate charmer!
Absolutely true! A real true & sincere man... multitalented with a “good heart!” So caring & great husband & father! Jon is the total pkg. & wishing this band everything good in life!❤️
Been a fan since listening to my cassette of Runaway in ‘84... my graduation year.
I was so happy for them in ‘86 with the success of Slippery.
Great speech. :)
I love Richie s speach. Like i said 1 million times. Please come back to Bon Jovi! Love you guys all of you. Philx is good. Just not the same without regional. Jon and Richie please make up.
Lisa Lindsey Jon and Richie never fell out , Richie just wanted to be lead singer
@@richardclark8030 I know they didnt fall out. I know that.
Phil X isn’t good, just cuz he can play the chords doesn’t mean he’s good. His head’s up his ass as far as Jon’s is
@@Spazza42 Philx can play and he is very good. And so is Jon. You dont know what good music is. Jon is a remarkable man all he does. He is the best.
There are some people here that really piss me off. You wouldnt know good talent if hit you. I hate people that say bad things like this.
Such beautiful and well spoken words. This 30 minutes made me cry.
Thank you Jon Bon Jovi "the best rock & Roll ever during your time"
It s a pleasure to see you again, Alec!
One more album please.. With the original BonJovi vibes in 2021
I love Bon Jovi 💘💯 it's my life 🙏🙏🙏
Ritchie Sanbora KNOWS the HUGE importance of fanbase!! there are some few musicians AND movie stars who dont think that way.....so from a BJ fan, THANK YOU!
Wow. I am moved. Just finished watching the whole thing....
Hated to see Richie leave he's so talented. Got to see them, back in the day, when Jon flew thru the air.Memories you never forget
That speech
Daaaaaaaaaam
Epic
the best band and their music ever...
Isn’t it time “that Ritchie Sambora “ return back to his family Bon Jovi ! Also, would love to see the great “Alec Jon Such” come back for just one last tour! This would be the most memorable tour ever!
Bon Jovi is not Bon Jovi without Ritchie Sambora, it would be great for Ritchie’s heart, mind and his soul!
I guess Jon would have to unfire him as well as Alec. What was different about this band is that they were not all collaborators in terms of equal say. The band was actually Jon's employees. This has been said by the band members themselves over 20 years ago in interviews. Jon was the boss and had final say over everything and when Alec and Jon clashed in the late 90s, Jon fired him but NEVER talked about it in interviews. Same thing happened with Richie. Problems started happening and Jon fired Ritchie.
Frankly, I see no reason for them to come back since Bon Jovi's music is unrecognizable from what it use to be. The last album came and went quietly. I don't even think one song from that album has gotten much air time on radio. Plus add to that that they are all filthy stinking rich, they can just enjoy retirement.
Richie is 61 and worth $100 million. Alec is 68 and worth $10 million. Tico is 66 and worth $20 million. David is 58 and worth $120 million. Jon is also 58 and is the 8th richest rock star at $410 million. I think all of them should retire. They are all set for life in terms of money but the sound of Bon Jovi just isn't what it use to be and even their concerts, many of the older more famous songs they play/sing them more as ballads now because Jon's voice isn't what it use to be.
The band had a good run but now their time has passed and they should just relax from now on.
@@thereturningshadow Actually, Richie was "fired" because he just didn't show up to a concert. Didn't call, nothing. That's why it was so dark for Jon - they were essentially ghosted. I read that Richie woke up one day and realized he didn't want to be in the band anymore. He already had one successful album himself at that point. I do enjoy Richie's solo stuff better than current BJ stuff. BJ's music now feels like something the Carpenter's would have played.
@@melissas4874 Hahaha. The Carpenters.
I did not know that about Richie. Thanks for clarifying. I can't really blame Richie for wanting to leave the band since it was clearly moving in the wrong direction. When they started moving toward country that was the beginning of the end for them. If you look at their latest music videos, they are all about Jon. If you compare them to the videos 20 years ago or even 30 years ago you can see a noticeable difference. It was about the band then. I still say all of them should retire. They have played for enough years. Toured the world for decades. Made a shit ton of money enough that their grand kids would be well off, especially Jon. And Jon's voice is no longer what it use to be which is why they play all their harder rock songs as ballads these days.
@@thereturningshadow It's funny you say it's all about Jon. I was reading an article from last year where Jon is saying he misses Richie, that he feels the band is missing something without Richie and he himself is missing Richie by his side. Then he says that he can't help that Richie "went astray" and the show must go on. Just that phrase - like Jon is some deity and Richie has sinned against him! LOL
I finally got around to listening to some of Richie's work in RSO and after about 4 songs I bought the album. I've seen many say that Richie was better outside of RSO, but his influence is instantly recognizable.
Bon Jovi ,needs his voice!
Jon Bon Jovi is the real deal. I've been a fan since Slippery and I'm glad to see them in the Hall of Fame.
My heart has spoken so many times.. and never get tired of saying this.. i love this guys.. never had the chance to meet them when they had the time for a tour here in the phils.. i wasnt able to watch the concert (financial problems sort of) but i honestly love this guys.. the songs they've written and sung.. shot to my my every bits and pieces... I grew up listening their songs, till now, now that im already 45 yrs old. Never get bored listening to thier songs.. god bless u all bon jovi band..
Wonderful speech by David Bryan. Gifted, yet still Grounded, Thankyou for the Fantastic Music/Band/Memories. :)
Thanks for all the beautiful memories and good times!!!!......2021.
Guys We love you here from Philippine s, Hong kong..Pls do more projects Nothing like you guys! Your Life your values and talents shared to humanity Pls. We want yiu up there I am showing your legacy to my children inspiring them to love music and play instrumenta.. Pls do take care of your youth that is very important we want you to stay fit healthy looking as you are. We love you
Thank you Jon Bon Jovi! You deserved this so much your songs always get me through the toughest days and taught me never to give up!
A great band that produced great music. At the present time one finds music that is not music and wishes to go back to the time of these great musicians at their prime.
THANKS FOR THE HEARTFELT MESSAGES FROM ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE GREATEST GROUP THAT WILL EVER ENTERTAIN AUDIENCES ALL OVER THE WORLD, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LOVE AND ADMIRATION THAT YOU DESERVE , U WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK GROUPS EVER TO PERFORM. LOVE YOU LOADS. TAKE CARE. ANGELA,
David is too funny! Really do miss Richie!!! (My fave).Bucket list to meet him .They are the soundtrack to some great memories. People dismiss them but they really are a great band! Lucky enough to see them 9 times .. never left disappointed. RIP Alec!
I think David never getting older. Haha
I love Bon Jovi great music the songs moved me. Jon is a great frontman and songwriter and good guy with his charity. Ritchie is a great guitar player and singer and songwriter. Well deserved.
Saw these guys open for Ratt in 1985...it's wasn't even close! Knew then they would be huge!
When I first bought the album Slippery when wet I was hooked on Bon Jovi and Ritchie Sambora was that guitarist who just had his own that stood alone with soul inspired me to playing the guitar
I always find it hugely interesting to hear how all these guys got started, how they all pretty much know each other from way back in the day and how they all eventually got together and found their winning combo.
