Rehab brats 'giving rock a bad name'

RICHIE Sambora reckons the current crop of performers are giving rock a bad name. The Australian.jpg

Bon Jovi's lead guitarist, who co-wrote 1980s anthems Livin' on a Prayer, Bad Medicine and Wanted: Dead or Alive, says it took him 30 years to succumb to the "pitfalls" of stardom.

"I had a long time to have fun before it got to me," Sambora told The Weekend Australian in Melbourne yesterday ahead of tonight's concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, which will kick off the band's national tour. "It took me 30 years to get into rehab."

The guitarist, who along with lead singer Jon Bon Jovi also wrote You Give Love a Bad Name, said it was tougher for young performers, such as the troubled Britney Spears, as they did not have the support of bandmates.

WOWOW live report @ Nagoya

wowowNagoya001.jpg
2万人のファンがナゴヤドームに結集!コンサート開始から大合唱に
 2年ぶり14回目となるボン・ジョヴィの来日公演。今回は最新アルバム「ロスト・ハイウェイ」を携えて昨年10月に彼らの地元、ニュー・ジャージーからスタートしたツアーとなっている。来日公演の皮切りとなるナゴヤドームでは、2万人のファンが集まった。開演時刻の7時を少し過ぎた頃に、照明が消え、メンバーが登場。今回のアルバムのタイトルナンバーでもある「ロスト・ハイウェイ」でライブはスタートした。ジョンは後ろに「LOST HIGHWAY」と書かれた黒の革ジャンに黒のジーンズという姿で、まさにロックバンドの王者としての風格を感じさせる出で立ちだ。最高の笑顔ともに1曲目を終えると、そのまま大ヒットナンバー「禁じられた愛」がスタート。“Shot through the heart〜”というおなじみのフレーズで、会場は早くもステージと一体化して大合唱に包まれた。さらに「タイムマシンで昔に戻ろう!」というジョンの掛け声で、 デヴィッドのキーボードが印象的な「夜明けのランナウェイ」がスタート。会場全体は80年代に戻っているかのようにヒートアップし、「ザ・レディオ・セイヴド・マイ・ライフ・トゥナイト」へとなだれ込む。
