r/BonJovi

I know it’s a broken record to be bummed out abt what band doesn’t do, but no effort at all for the SWW 40th anniversary. Jon’s intern put up a few social media posts and that was it. The Sirius station didn’t even do any celebration. Jon could’ve wrapped this into the tour promo, they could’ve dropped some demos or rarities on streaming easily, they could’ve done a way better social media celebration, it just really stinks that he cannot care less about stuff like this.

ETA: I did buy the deluxe last year, it’s not a good deluxe edition, especially compared to what we got for New Jersey. I have also ripped audio from YouTube and made my own playlist. This is more about official work that the group has put out.

Here’s a snippet of an interview, where Jon mentions it.

For me it’s the 96 These Days tour. It looked amazing and looks like they were really rocking shows.

Personally, I have it at #4 behind These Days, New Jersey, and Keep the Faith. Despite not being top 3 for me I still think it’s a great album, and obviously it’s the one that launched the band into superstardom.

Where do you guys rank the album?

What could make seeing My Chemical Romance perform a sold out hometown show at MetLife Stadium (where they played "The Black Parade" in its glorious entirety) even more special? Seeing them end said show by covering Bon Jovi's "Livin On A Prayer".

Here's full video of what might be the most NJ rock moment of all time - in front of more than 50,000 screaming fans nonetheless.

Hampton Water fun plus Jon’s mysterious statement on the health of band members …

Hi guys,

Ordered two tickets from viagogo for the Edinburgh show but still haven’t received anything. Anyone has any information / advice if this is normal or not, considering the show is less than 2 weeks away.

Thanks

I just can't believe this masterpiece is 40 years old!!! I'll have it on repeat tomorrow 🎉. Who joins in? Without this record we wouldn't be talking BJ these days 🙌🏻😎. Forever grateful for Jon, Richie and Desmond for writing these songs.

He has a few other videos like this of Bon Jovi songs, really interesting hearing the separated vocals.

I've taken up running 🏃🏻‍♀️as a new way to workout and I want to make a running playlist with high BPM BJ songs. I've googled a bit but different sites give me different answers, so anyone here who can give me a list or advise for a decent website? 🙏🏻

Hello! Myself and my mum are going to see Bon Jovi in Dublin on Sunday 30th August - it’s my first music concert!!

I need to get a bus to Dublin from another county in Ireland (3+ hrs away) and I’ll be coming from an early shift at work that morning, so I’m wondering what time Bon Jovi will actually be on stage - as I’m trying to sort everything out time-wise!

We are really looking forward to this concert! Any and all experiences and advice for the concert is much appreciated!

For the love of God, I really need to manifest and dream that he might sing a song from These Days at Wembley??? It would be my absolute dream if he sang This Ain’t a Love Song. I saw that he sang a good part of it in 2024, and it would literally be the dream of my life to hear it live, especially at Wembley N1. To me, the best shows ever were the Wembley shows in 1995, so it would be such an incredible full-circle moment.

my step brother have Bon Jovi – Cross Road on black cassette tape we went on the road trip to the USA from canada listening to it over and over again on cassette tape in the rv

So i’m probably a younger fan than the majority I’d guess. I’m 20. Me and my Mum are going to the 2nd Wembley show and it’s a total dream come true for us both. She’s been a HUGE fan since she was a kid and saw the Bad Medicine video on MTV for the first time she tells me lol. Growing up, there wasn’t really cartoons or kids shows or anything, it was always Bon jovi music videos and interviews on the TV. When i would have breakfast before school it would be playing in the kitchen and my mum would be hitting the air guitar. I’ve been around this band since long before i can even remember and the fact me and her are going to see them together is surreal. Nothing really important here just needed to vent this to people who might care lol. Hopefully see some of you guys there! Look for the young guy with the Wings, dagger and heart tattoo!

Like a lot of people here, we just spent too much and we dont like being left in the dark. Has anyone got a resolution from ticketmaster?

New Jersey is a much loved and classic album from Bon Jovi. We're sure everyone would have their own top 5 favourite songs.

Here's ours. What's yours?

According to my cursory research (feel free to fact check and correct me if necessary), Delaware is the only US State in which Bon Jovi have never performed live a single time, and Montana and Vermont are the only other two where they've never played a major headline show (the former they've only played as an opening act back in 1985, and the latter they did a one-off performance for a radio broadcast in 2000).
