Duff05 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Bon jovi has sold tens of millions of albums, become a movie star and is know world wide. He adapted his sound from the 80's albums like Slippery When Wet and New Jersey to keep with the times ( In my opinion These Days is a great album) and he was still going strong just after the millenium and his big tunes will go down in history.Do you think its time he gets the credit he deserves from critics and publications like Rolling Stone for his song writing abilities and his charisma? Yes he is chessy and sticks to the same formula but you can't argue with his success, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzigzag Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 No, you cant. just for these 4 words: Wanted Dead or Alive they definitely deserves more recognition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissirge Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Bon Jovi is alright...but would Bon Jovi be as famous if Jon Bon Jovi weren't so good-looking.....yeah right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love&hates Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I like some songs.But i can't stand the fact that all the music that they do is totally comercial , i mean they have the pure intention of selling as much they can, i know that is normal, but they should worry about make good music and that showed what they are.In this way the remind me a pop starThey are always adapting to what the public wants.In my opinion sometimes Bon Jovi don't seem to have a personality.

Rock_On Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Well since im a little little girl I'm a fan of Bon Jovi. I was born during the New Jersey era, so I went through Keep The Faith, These Days and then I saw Crush, Bounce and This Left Feels Right. And I must admit I was very very very disappointed by those three last albums. Bon Jovi (the album ), 7800 farhenheit, SWW, NJ, KTF and TD were awesome albums in my opinion, 80's rock n roll with some 90's good rock aswell and then what happened??? pop/rock, cheesy ballads, mid-tempo's *rockers* and stuff like that. So for those who said they make commercial music and all, yes i agree with yo uabout the last 3 records they released. but during the 80's and 90's I think they were truly great. and Its a shame that they dont make songs that shows their incredible talent, such as the cool Dry County, off of KTF. Now all we get is You had me from hello, Bounce and some remake of their famous songs. Yes they should definitively get some recognition for their older work, such as Wanted Dead Or Alive and all those great songs, they should really get some recognition for this, because that was rock, that was fun, that was them, tha twas what they wanted to do. Anyway. that was a long post I know but I just feel as letting this all out because it really pisses me off that people consider them as girly rock and cheesy and stuff just because they only know Its My Life, All about loving you and those things. if you dig in their past, you would see great talent and awesome songwriting.

Rock_On Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 another thing i forgot to mention, I think they should get recognition as a band, and not only Jon getting all the credits. alot of poeple know Bon Jovi for Jon and think he's the only man in there. but Sambo, Bryan ,Torres and MacDonald are great musicians too and deserve some merit!!!

gernm18 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 i think they're pretty cheesy but back in the day i used to love them.. they have some damn good ballads, and i think they're better than poison and motley crue...also these days is a pretty damn good albums definetely my favorite bon jovi cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) Liked them a lot more in my teens than I do now - KTF and These Days are pretty damn good albums, as was 'Crossroads' (Greatest Hits) when it came out (1992/93 I think). Their later albums did nothing for me though. Songs like All About Loving You and Thanks You For Loving me are a dose of very strong stilton. However I saw them live last year or the year before in Glasgow and they were amazing live. JBJ puts so so much into their two and a half hour shows, not bad at all for a guy in his forties.....LA Edited March 31, 2005 by LA_0013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock_On Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Yeah like alot of you said, Keep The Faith and These Days are really their best albums. Keep The Faith is musically the best, and These Days lyrically the best in my opinion. and yeah, later crap like all of bounce and crush is really at the top of the shit and way too cheesy for me too. but live they are still an amazing band and their old songs are still incredibly good!
