Bon Jovi plays it up in arena setting and scores big
Bon Jovi plays it up in arena setting and scores bigContinue reading...FOXBOROUGH -- Bon Jovi is all about big, bold strokes and big, easy-to-remember catch phrases: Livin' On a Prayer . Keep the Faith . Blaze of Glory . Wanted Dead or Alive . Like the New Jersey pop-metal band's sturdy, arena-ready hooks, you've heard all the lines before. But somehow, the meat-and-potato anthems -- because they bring back the promise, recklessness, and melodrama of youth -- still signify good times and a rock 'n' roll fantasy or two.

A. He's been through hell. Between the divorce [from Heather Locklear] and getting together with his new girlfriend [Denise Richards] and breaking his shoulder and [his father's illness], it's been an awful year. For my dear friend's sake, I hope that's all behind him.

Bon Jovi Comes Home to New Jersey, With Sound and Hair Still Big
Continue reading...EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., July 18 — “I’m ready for whatever: rain, thunder, lightning, sleet, snow,” Jon Bon Jovi assured the crowd at Giants Stadium on Tuesday. “I’ve come home.” Of course the main reason his band sold out three nights at this 80,000-capacity behemoth is that he never really left.

BJ PROUD HIS LYRIC EMPOWERED GENERATION
JON BON JOVI is pleased he refused to let his BON JOVI bandmate RICHIE SAMBORA persuade him to remove a FRANK SINATRA reference from hit song IT'S MY LIFE, because it's the lyric he's most proud of. Singer Bon Jovi claims his choice words have "empowered a generation". He tells the New York Post, "In It's My Life, I sing, 'like Frankie said, I did it my way'. "When Richie heard that, he said to me, 'Nobody gives a s**t about you looking up to Sinatra. There's no way we're putting that line in the song.' I said, 'Screw you - I have to sing the song every night, and I believe in the lyric.' "I was right, because that lyric has touched so many people. People too young to even know who Frankie was. Frankie could be their buddy, their brother, their teacher. "What that lyric did was empower a generation to think, 'I'm taking control of my life.'"

Out and aboutContinue reading...Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora hit Chickie's & Pete's (15th & Packer) Saturday night after Bon Jovi rocked Citizens Bank Park. They signed autographs between bites of crabs, crab fries, and lobster pizza.
Former Phillies slugger John Kruk and Iggle Jason Short also dropped by the after-party.
Bon Jovi, a co-owner of the Philadelphia Soul, has a history with Chickie's & Pete's and owner Pete Ciarrocchi. The Packer Avenue location appeared in the band's "Who Says You Can't Go Home" video and Jon gave a shout-out to the joint on an episode of "Oprah."

With marching band music on the PA system, SOUL MAN (the Philadelphia's Soul mascot - god bless him, in full costume on a swealtering nite) ran out on stage, followed by a massive PHILADELPHIA SOUL flag and a dozen SOULMATES (the dancers for The Philadelphia Soul, the Arena Football Team Jon Bon Jovi owns in town.) And the Soulmates welcomed Jon Bon Jovi on stage... and he welcomed everyone to SOULVILLE. Check out the set list:

Sambora serenaded
Sambora serenadedSo that's what friends are for. Bon Jovi played to a sold-out crowd of 5,500 fans in Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., the other night on the eve of Richie Sambora's 47th birthday.
Jon Bon Jovi celebrated the occasion by serenading his close friend on stage with a rock version of "Happy Birthday." A flattered Sambora showed his gratitude by singing a rare acoustic rendition of "I'll Be There for You."
JBJ then went on to comment about the many beautiful single women in the audience who would love to go on a birthday date with the newly separated rocker -- was he forgetting about Denise Richards? -- then warned Sambora "this time, sign a pre-nup!"

According to the tabloids, "Team Heather" and "Team Denise" T-shirts have been flying off the shelves of West Coast boutiques, ever since Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora took up with actress Denise Richards after splitting with his wife, actress Heather Locklear, Richards' (former) close friend.
Despite stardom, Bon Jovi is still working for a living

Sambora / Richards...Locklear? 73
Rocker JON BON JOVI toasted bandmate RICHIE SAMBORA's birthday on Monday (10JUL06) with some friendly advice for future relationships.
Sambora, whose prolonged and bitter divorce battle with HEATHER LOCKLEAR is expected to be finalised in August (06), is currently dating former BOND girl DENISE RICHARDS.
But, at a concert on the eve of the guitarist's 47th birthday, Bon Jovi warned him to think carefully before walking down the aisle again.
After singing a special acoustic rendition of I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU, the New York Daily News reports Bon Jovi told the crowd at the sold-out show in Hollywood, Florida, "This time, sign a prenup!"

Denise Richards Is Very Concerned About Rising Gas PricesLet she who has never been pumping gas and suddenly been overtaken by the urge to don a very scary leotard, leopard-print belt and six-inch platforms cast the first stone. No, actually this is for a Harper’s Bazaar shoot, but seriously, what has happened to Denise Richards? Her hair looks like she got too close to one of Richie’s amps at a Bon Jovi concert. Remember when she had a career beyond looking really hot, losing baby weight and giant martini-glass water ballet?

A band in a name
Continue reading...For people forming bands, arriving at a name to collectively call the group is one basic, significant step. And while some opt to choose ‘dictionary’ words or phrases relating to them (or not), there are still those who officially call themselves simply via their birth certificate names/surnames or even that of another person. Well, these group acts must be aware of the "now a name, soon a legend" catchphrase and would like to get a try in making it happen by themselves.
