Bon Jovi suffers from no point, and no good tunes
(-_-;)
Continue reading...I can also tell you guitarist Richie Sambora is a dead ringer for Motley Crue's Tommy Lee, only Richie looks healthier. That may explain why his current wife, Heather Locklear, left Tommy and married Richie years ago. I also noticed Jon Bon Jovi looks more and more like Heather Locklear with his blonde shag haircut. When Jon and Richie sang into the same microphone for the duet "I'll be there for you" it really was more creepy than endearing. Let's put it this way: Mick and Keith don't sing "Wild Horses" into the same mic and Steve and Joe don't sing "Sweet Emotion" that way, either. But as the title of that old Knack album proclaimed, "The little girls understand."

Bon Jovi shows Jersey pride, plays the hits
Continue reading..."Hey, I'd like to apologize for the beginning of "Bounce,' " Sambora told the crowd, explaining a minor flub. "I couldn't see."Sambora and Bon Jovi then harmonized on a low-key arrangement of "I'll Be There For You" that changed the fist-pumping power ballad into something more mellow and melancholy.

It's Pop Goes the Rocker Again, This Time a Longhaired Alumnus of 'American Idol'
Continue reading...Rock stars, more than behind-the-scenes songwriters, are expected to write music full of oversize gestures and potentially embarrassing lyrics; they're supposed to write songs that couldn't possibly have been written by anyone else. And so when Mr. Bice sings "Nothing Without You," written by Mr. Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and John Shanks, it's not hard to hear it as a potential Bon Jovi song, especially when the guitars come crashing to a halt right before the chorus.

Heart, soul and hair
Continue reading...The boys in Bon Jovi were the same as ever Tuesday night at Mellon Arena -- just older.
In fact, the song "Just Older" set the stage for a funny unrehearsed moment. Guitarist Richie Sambora strode to frontman Jon Bon Jovi's microphone to add vocal harmonies on lines about standing shoulder to shoulder and sharing the sort of secrets that only friends can. When he leaned in, Bon Jovi accidentally sent Sambora's pink, feather-accented hat awkwardly tumbling from his head. After the song, Bon Jovi told Sambora, "It's a good thing you're not Tim McGraw."

Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi: I was driving in my car, coming back from band rehearsal, and I had to pull over. I was shocked, in tears. It was a heavy moment. I remember like it was yesterday. It was somewhere around 9:30 at night. I was listening to WNEW in New York. I just got a chill right now thinking about it. I'm a huge Beatles fan; it definitely invaded my brain and my heart.
