    These days saved my life. It got me through a difficult time, I was 15 when it was released. Just in time to save my life.

    I was just speaking to my sister about Bon Jovi what a great story teller Jon is, he has this ability to bring you in. This has proved through the decades he is a master songwriter, storyteller, lyricist so I'll just say thank you.

    Santa Fe on Young Guns II soundtrack is timeless. 'These Days' & 'Bounce' are fantastic albums - probably their most underrated albums in my opinion. Bon Jovi is the soundtrack to my life.

    7800 (can't find degrees symbol) is so underrated. I still have the cassette from when I was 7 or 8 years old.

    I knew that for 10 years John had been waiting for Ritchie to come back🔥 I hope they can stand on the same stage and sing "Wanted Dead or Alive" together❣️❣️

    I was at the Calgary concert where Richie wasn't there, Jon had said We thought we can leave and not perform, or do our best to give you a great show. And they did!

    Many fans don't realize that Cross Road is actually one of the best-selling albums of all time. It ranks between Slippery When Wet & New Jersey in terms of the band's releases. A significant reason for that success was the single "Always", which recently just became their 3rd video to reach a billion views behind "It's My Life" & "Livin' on a Prayer". Even deep into the 90s when most 80s bands were struggling, they proved that they were still one of the biggest musical acts in the world.

    I'M 54 YEARS OLD NOW, AND I STILL LOVE HEAR THE SONGS OF THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME, BON JOVI.
  • @batlevi2247
    Jon’s wrong about 7800 Fahrenheit! I love that album! Songs like In and Out Love, Only Lonely, The Hardest Part Is The Night, and Always Run To You are badass songs. They deserve more love!
  • Melt my heart, my husband in 2007 sang Bed of Roses to me and a restaurant full of people following our wedding ceremony. 😊❤❤
  • The first 6 albums + the Young Guns solo album are the pinacle of Bon Jovi. Just the BEST.

    Growing up as a Bon Jovi fan (since I was 4 years old, thanks mom!) I can map my life's memories around these albums. To say this band has changed and shaped my life is an understatement... I am so excited to watch the documentary this weekend!
  • "I'll be there for you" is held close to my heart. I was a military brat, and my friends called the radio station over and over until they got put on with DJ, I still have that tape, where they tell the DJ I was moving from Hawaii back to NY because my father was retiring. My friends truly made me feel loved with that tape from the radio. What no one would know is that 4 years later, my father did business with Jon, and dad allowed me to go, and we had Chinese food in Hells Kitchen. He is truly just as nice and easygoing as he shows the world. He's an amazing human being.

  • @mikerochon2508
    I have heard the stories of why the band doesn't like 7800° Fahrenheit, although I have to say, it is one of my favorites, I still listen to it to this day. "In and Out of Love", "Only Lonely", The Hardest Part Is The Night. Good memories
