Bon Jovi

When Bon Jovi were scheduled to play a stadium gig in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in June, they bumped into an inconvenience: 50,000+ tickets to sell on a night that the Dutch national team play France in the European Soccer Cup.
So the powers that be have come up with a solution.
They've attracted VanVelzen to perform as the opening act. Unknown outside The Netherlands, perhaps, but within the country this singer/songwriter is already a huge star (in popularity t... MORE

Quote:"Jon Bon Jovi could be planning to run for governor of New Jersey. That's why he's keeping his house in Red Bank, even though he and his wife, Dorothea, and their four kids have moved to SoHo. That's why he performs regularly at fund-raisers for Democrats like Al Gore and John Kerry. And that's why he hired p.r. guru Ken Sunshine, who was once the chief of staff for ex-Mayor David Dinkins."... MORE

Quote: "Remember when everyone was talking about how maybe Jon Bon Jovi was going to run for governor of New Jersey? Well, it turns out he's already earned himself a much more important seat: in one of the judges' chairs of Project Runway. That's right. His Joviness will be giving Bravo's most popular show a bad name."... MORE

Another sample of Jon Bon Jovi's non rock style. I really hope he puts out a non rock cd soon. Let me know what you think.

Okay, so it's been a while. I've been overwhelmed in work and underwhelmed in the record stores, so I'm taking the time to rehash a conversation I had with my brother a couple of weeks ago. Dave - we'll call him that, because that's his name - is a fan of the band Bon Jovi (settle down, I'm going somewhere with this), who recently played the inaugural concert in London's O2 Arena (formerly the Millenium Dome). Over a family dinner Dave said that if he knew anyone willing... MORE

...he is. According to the Associated Press, the pandering, mulleted "rocker" is using the mighty, gnarled fist of litigation to prevent the owner of a coffee-based energy drink called "Mijovi" from using the name, since it contains "Jovi" and people might get a coffee-based energy drink and a talentless fossil from the 1980s who sings shitty ballads confused. It's an understandably easy mistake to make. And I quote: "_In a Jan. 22 letter, Los Angeles lawyer Peter L... MORE

You know those new electronic voting booths that say the majority voted for so-and-so, even though the majority seems to be upset that the person they voted for didn’t win the Presidential election. Well, sometimes I think this happens with Nielsen SoundScan. This week both The White Stripes and Bon Jovi had new albums. Off hand, you’d think the majority would buy white Stripes albums, given their press coverage, headlining festival spots and etc. But much like the ... MORE

This may come as a surprise to you, but Bon Jovi does not suck. I know, I was just as shocked as you, all this time, all these acid-washed years, I though they were terrible! All the signs were there: big hair, big choruses, a sensitive, yet tough growl and a slight country twang, cheesy, cliché songs about the road and America and havin' a good ol' time and findin' a gal and lovin' her real good. How could it not suck? Well, turns out that even though it's not 1986 anymore B... MORE

holy shit, this is the first time i've been able to get MOG to load in under five minutes in forever - which is partially the reason i don't ever get to write anymore. usually i have between 5 and 10 minutes of free time before i get distracted, whether because of a ringing phone, a doorbell, or even a flavor of love marathon coming on. but the great thing is that NOW, for the first time in forever, something fantastic happened that i automatically wanted to tell people ab...

So Bon Jovi has gone country, and I'm not so sure if I like this 'highway' that they are taking..they really might be lost. OK that was lame, but anyways, I am a HUGE fan of Bon Jovi, but they really have their lost their rockin groove. Their album comes out next week, and I am a little hesitant to get it. I am all about supporting the artist, so I probably will get it but still very hesitant. Although they have been rockstars even before I was born (I was born 86),... MORE

It seems Prince started a trend. No, not wearing pants with the ass cut out . I mean including a copy of your album with concert tickets.
Fans who purchase presale tickets for Bon Jovi's upcoming tour will receive a digital iTunes copy of the bands new album Lost Highway. The tour kicks off Oct. 25th, in Newark, N.J at the Prudential Center.
American Express cardholders will get first crack at online presale tickets June 12-14, and the general public from... MORE

So this month (June 19th) Bon Jovi and his band will be releasing their 10th album (Not including live albums or compilations). This raises two questions in my head: a) IS THIS GUY EVER GOING TO GIVE UP and; b) HOW MANY GENRES WILL THIS GUY COVER? Is enough enough for Bon Jovi and his crew yet, or are we still waiting for more from him? P.S. Among others who may be considered washed up releasing new albums are Paul McCartney and Rush. Also, we may as well include newcome... MORE

I already have my age posted so I don't think I am revealing all that much if I admit that I graduated from high school in 1988. I don't know if it is a tradition in other countries but in a lot of american schools the class has a 'class song'. The song that is supposed to represent the class and their feelings about and experiences during high school. My class song Never Say Goodbye by Bon Jovi. Many of you have probably not heard it (don't feel the need to ru... MORE
