    My very first concert was a Bon Jovi show with Skid Row Opening for them. It was right when Skid Row had their first mainstream hit "Youth Gone Wild", which would have been right around Bon Jovi's New Jersey album if I recall. Anyways, I've stuck with them throughout the years. I've got every released Bon Jovi album plus some unreleased and import stuff. I've met them a few times and they are an awesome group of guys. I met them when Alec John Such was still with them, anyone think he'll ever return to the group? I kinda feel bad for Hugh McDonald, he is kinda the blacksheep of the group. He is officially their bass player but they do not allow him into album shoots or promo shoots because Bon Jovi has stated they could never officially replace Alec.

    One of my favorite bands growing up, partly because I grew up in Jersey.

    Although I like their earlier stuff better, the new is still far from bad.

    They deserve every bit of fame they get, but should be getting equally as much respect which they sometimes do not receive.

    I can not for the life of me remember his new song that I heard on the radio today, maybe it was a remake not sure, but I know it was him. Does anyone have a list of his most recent songs?

    Sandi, their latest song out on the radio is the title track to the new album "Lost Highway". The song just before that one was the 1st radio release off the new album called "You wanna, make a memory"

    I'm a Bon Jovi fan! Can't say I was there from the very beginning, but they grew on me later. Their old stuff is good, and I just love their new stuff. You Wanna Make A Memory is a fantastic song. There's another one on the lost highway cd that I like a lot, I think it's called Til We're Not Strangers Anymore.

    Yeah, listening to their latest album, Lost Highway kinda reminds me like I'm listening to that Australian country dude....what's his name, oh yeah....Keith Urban. The one that made it big in Nashville TN.

    Rock & roll over babe

    Bon Jovi are one of those bands everyone knows at least one song. Even people who don't even follow the glam thing... they could be as chav as they come, and still know the lyrics to "livin on a prayer".
    They will deny it of course. lol.

    I liked the first two Bon-Jovi albums (self titled, and 7800 Fahrenheit) the best. "Crush" and "Bounce" are good but not as good as anything they produced in the '80s. I wasn't a big fan of "Have a Nice Day" and didn't even bother with "Lost Hiways".

    I've been listening to them for years myself. I like them well enough, but wouldn't consider myself a really big fan.

    Loved them prior to '92. Most of their efforts after that are pretty lame.

    Up to New Jersey, Bon Jovi ruled! I can't get into any of their newer albums though.

    You Give Love a Bad Name is my favorite song.

    Bon Jovi is my favorite band of all time. But there newest album pretty much sucks because it is more into country music. But 80's Jovi will never die!! And Jon is still damn good looking!

    Lost Highway is one of my favorites by them. I thought the album with the least amount of appeal to me was "This left feels right." I'll agree, their new album has some country feel to it but its still Bon Jovi and they still maintain who they are on it. I like that they aren't trying to stay stuck in the 80's. Its the bands that do that grow stale and lame IMO. Open up your musical horizons alittle, if you can do that you'll like Lost Highway.

    Long time fan first saw them at the Rock the Bowl festival back in the late 80'z, not keen on the newer stuff that'z been released of late little too chart rock sounding. Also a fan of Richie and Jon'z solo stuff as well.

    I could never get into any of the solo projects other than Jons. My favorite solo album from him was Destination Anywhere. Best songs off that album IMO are
    Janie, don't take your love to town
    Midngiht in Chelsea
    Starring at your window, with a suitcase in my hand
    Every word was a piece of my heart.

    Wasn't much of a fan of the Blaze of Glory soundtrack either.
