BON JOVI!!! - Page 2

Torn Curtain · 01.26.2008, 04:45 PM

I recently read that in the 90s Bon Jovi was so pissed off at not having any commercial success in France (contrary to many other countries) that he harassed his record company into getting massive promotion so as to top the French charts, which finally proved successful.

You won't see one from me, but I think you may have inspired Everyneurotic...

Everyneurotic · 01.29.2008, 01:06 PM

no, i'm convinced that i shouldn't bother people with bands that only i like in this board.

yes is one of them, gn'r seems to be another.

afterthefact · 01.29.2008, 01:26 PM

I agree, although sometimes I realize I am the only one who likes them AFTER starting a thread...

comparing bon jovi and guns'n'roses is like comparing sonic youth to good charlotte. guns'n'roses changed an era of rock the same way nirvana did.

Yeah, but not for the better...

Everyneurotic · 01.29.2008, 05:35 PM

actually, guns n' roses importance stems from them being the last rock band of it's class, going back to the stones, motörhead, the stooges, the dolls; swaggering drugged out songwriter rock stars the media loves to satanize and critics hate.

still, i like them because their songs were amazing.

bon jovi sucks ass. they are slightly better than the tepid crap bucket of Huey Lewis and the News
They are fucking horrible douchbags.

Guns & Roses were the genius shit compared to fuck ass bon jovi

Guns & Roses, origianlly were dangerous in a way that Bon Jovi has only ever dreamed of being. Bon Jovi is like a watered down INXS
