Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! and the band: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! suppose i better do a bit about them i guess: Bon Jovi is a hard rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Fronted by lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, the group originally achieved large-scale success in the 1980s. Over the past 25 years, Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million albums worldwide, [1] including 34 million in the United States alone. [2] Bon Jovi formed in 1983 with lead singer Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, bassist Alec John Such, and drummer Tico Torres. Other than the departure of Alec John Such in 1994 (which pared the lineup down to a quartet), the lineup has remained the same for the past 25 years. After two moderately successful albums in 1984 and 1985, the band scored big with Slippery When Wet (1986) and New Jersey (1988), which sold a combined 19 million copies in the U.S. alone, charted eight Top Ten hits (including four number one hits), and launched the band into global super stardom. After non-stop touring, the band went on hiatus after the New Jersey Tour in 1990, during which time Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora both released successful solo albums. In 1992, the band returned with the double platinum Keep the Faith and has since created a string of platinum albums throughout the 1990s and 2000s. In 2006, the band won a Grammy for best Country Collaboration for "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland and also became the first rock band to reach #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart with the same song. The band has also received multiple Grammy nominations for music from the albums Crush, Bounce, and Lost Highway. Throughout their career, the band has released ten studio albums, of which nine have gone platinum. In addition, the band has charted 19 singles to the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, four of which reached #1 ("You Give Love a Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Bad Medicine", and "I'll Be There for You"). The band also holds the record for the most weeks for a hard rock album at #1 on the Billboard 200 with Slippery When Wet, as well as the most Top 10 singles from a hard rock album, with New Jersey, which charted five such singles. ---------------------- anyone agree that theya re brilliant??
Most Bon Jovi fans gave up on him after he fucked Eddie Murphy in 1988. Link; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Bon_Jovi#Personal_life I was never a fan.
i cant believe there is a thread in art and culture on jon fucking bon jovi. this is a joke right?a funny funny joke?
dude,dont get me wrong id fuck him (he is a very good singer too),but bon jovi and culture/art dont belong in the same sentence.
All music is art. Art is subjective, I don't really like Bon Jovi but that doesn't stop it from being "art". Just because I don't like it is that means for saying it's not art? I think not. As a side note - He/they are very good at what they do. To stay on top after 20 some years is no mean feat. I still don't dig it though.
It's not a big deal when all of your fans are jersey dirtbags, or dirtbags from other parts of the world who can relate to being a jersey dirtbag. He's not "critically acclaimed", he doesn't cross cultural boundaries, he just has a loyal following of hooting and hollering idiot dirtbag fans, exhibit A being lucifer's angel.

Yeah I don't really care if he can sing or not anymore. I had such a crush on him in highschool, but then didn't we all. He still looks great!
