Bon Jovi: Old but Never ‘Old’ – The Timeless Rock Legend Who Defies Aging!
What did Jon Bon Jovi and the band do to stay afloat for a long time, when most of the band members were playing music at the repertoire?
Here are 5 reasons why Bon Jovi still dominated in 2005:
- They just like you and me!
While the group’s latest recordings satisfied a handful of mischievous boys — the title of their 1986 record, “Slippery When Wet,” Bon Jovi quickly established a position that remains to this day. Basically a tour for Born in the U.S.A. – the era of Bruce Springsteen.
The band’s songs, popularity, simple lyrics (loved, farewell, thank you for being loved) are transformed into songs with a funny style. They were both popular but they were still in New Jersey, the city that gave the band access to the Midwest.
- Suitable for a wide range of genres
Jon Bon Jovi also became one of the longest-running sex icons of his generation. The smoldering eyes, smile and hair have created all the signs of a very passionate boy. He also shared his acting career with roles in (Moonlight and Valentino, U-571, Ally McBeal).
- The history of the band is free
In the past two decades, Bon Jovi has made a change when bass singer Alec John Such left the group in 1994. Before that, the band’s career was dramatic. That means not revolving around lead singers such as (a la Van Halen), drug overdoses that led to near-death (Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx), alcoholic guitarists (Def Leppard, again), gamblers (Def Leppard, again), during the years of making excellent songs that were not released (Guns N’ Roses) or random murders (the immortality of the drummer of the group Hanoi Rocks, Nicholas Dingley with Vince Neil of Motley Crue).
- Maintain trust
Unlike most contemporary artists, Bon Jovi became a rock band after a change in the musical landscape of the early 90s. They spent the decade releasing two commercial albums (Keep the Faith and These Days), as well as compiling Crossroad.
Meanwhile, the 21st century saw an uproar for Bon Jovi with three studio albums, a CD without electronic instruments and a rare record. They worked with contemporary producers (like John Shanks, the man behind Ashlee Simpson on their latest record, Have a Nice Day) but remained faithful to the group’s original sound.
- Know how to get cheap seats
As Jon Bon Jovi said in a recent interview: “We like to give people the right value for their money.”
