Jon Bon Jovi

[Ladysmith]

Well done for saving a woman jumping off a bridge!

Especially as the bridge is dangerous as it's slippery when wet!

He obviously told her to keep the faith!

[eusebiovic]

He said to her..

If you jump then make sure you go "DOWN IN A BLAZE OF GLORY!"

[Ladysmith]

Funny thing is he achieved massive fame in the 80s when big hair/bombastic rock was the thing, but as time has gone on, it's clear that all the time he really wanted to be Bruce Springsteen.

Not really surprising considering the New Jersey connection...

They are often associated with the 80s but in truth they were much bigger in the 90s, especially in Europe. If you want to surprise an America Rock fan, tell them that Van Halen supported Bon Jovi in the 90s, it's true but they wont believe you.

There was a poster (can't remember who) who was proper obsessed with Bon Jovi.

Sounds like a proper cool bloke 

[Far Cough UKunt]

Wasn't he in that German U Boat film?

Always comes across as a decent bloke when I’ve seen him interviewed. 

I’ve been on the bridge in Nashville too. Only everyone was throwing themselves off when they saw me approaching 

[Swiss.]

I'm not a fan nof his music at all but he comes accross as nice bloke. I think he's an underrated actor and I love Vampires: Los Muertos  (John Carpenter) and a a really good UK drama The Leading Man.   

[Swiss.]

His son is into Stranger Things

[Lee Trundle]

Ah yes!  It was Bell.  Thanks.

[only1billybonds]

Trunds.

Think that was Bell.

They were very good at what they did but what they did was very ordinary in some people's eyes.
Different tastes and all that. Not for me but that dont mean they were shit, the album sales and sell out stadium tours suggest that they were very well liked around the world.

No of course he fucking wasn't,  those are possibly the most cringworthy lyrics ever written. Fucking poodle rock cսnt. 

You have run a very good thread - you are a cock!

Slippery When Wet is one of the best albums of all time!

She’d just said goodbye to onlookers, and he shouted ‘Never Say Goodbye’.

It’s a good job it wasn’t Dave Lee Roth. He might have told her to go ahead and jump.

[mallard]

As he approached she shouted, “It’s my Life”

[Grumpster]

Should have let her go out in a blaze of glory

[Far Cough UKunt]

Was he living on a prayer?
