October 31, 20205 yr Bon Jovi sucked. Hard. There is no "don't lie, you liked..."noididn't. I remember the suckage as it was happening and time hasn't helped. At. All. Got nothing against Jon Bon or anyone making a business decision in the entertainment industry, but everything about that band was cringe-worthy and needed to die for the sake of western civilization.

Perhaps you need to watch this video and then come back with another response.

I had nearly my entire digital life stolen out of a rental vehicle in a smash & grab in Oakland which included my all but my first year in Buenos Aires (out of 7 1/2), so when I was in Argentina 2 months after being robbed, I went out and about and took photos of everything. I came across this photo across the street from the massive mosque & muslim cultural center in Palermo. A poster hyping everyone's favorite band playing at Estadio Velez Sarsfeld, where I saw an Ireland vs Argentina rugby match (their B-teams) in April of 2007 and The Killers in ~October of 2007. You play South America and they will love you forever.

Saw Night Ranger at Astroworld in the 80s, as far as sounding just like the recordings those fuckers were spot on, I mean spot fucking on. They put on a good show.

November 2, 20205 yr Night Ranger did pre-production for one of their later albums at the Austin Rehearsal Complex. In a hallway conversation, one of those douchebags offered to sell me their mixing console they were using to track demos. Never mind the fact that it was a generic Mackie board, they wanted more than list price for it, "because Night Ranger had used it".

November 2, 20205 yr And Brad Gillis was hilarious when he played on the speak of the devil album of Black Sabbath covers with Ozzy.
November 2, 20205 yr Author i e you can infer negligence by the very nature of the accident (am I getting this right, lawyers?).

September 12, 20241 yr I guess she was livin on a prayer up there and Jon was the answer to that prayer.
September 12, 20241 yr he was shooting a music video on the bridge. she wanted to jump because she heard the song.

Wouldn't the bridge be shut down to vehicles and bystanders? Was she part of the production crew? An extra and they ran out of craft services?

September 12, 20241 yr Okay. The point was I still they would shut it down for a music video, but I guess if they were setting up and weren't filming yet, it may have been open.

September 12, 20241 yr A buddy of mine is in a high level position in the liquor and wine biz and tons of celebs come to pitch their brand to him and his team. He said he really expected to hate Jon but said he was a good guy and down to earth. Edited September 12, 20241 yr by Dennis Taylor

September 13, 20241 yr Hate on them if you must, but they nailed it for what was popular at the time. Cheesy af, but that’s what they were going for. I said it up thread, but Wanted Dead or Alive works just fine for me.Runaway is a nice little pop tune in my book.Flame away.

May or may not have tried to leverage a couple of their sappier ones into a little back seat action when Pops would let me borrow the Oldsmobile on a Friday night in high school

I'd buy that if he had stopped writing songs, but he's been doing it for 40 years or so, and they've always been cheesy af.

And Living on a Prayer is an anthem of the 80's whether it's as song of artistic import or not (it is not). Slippery When Wet was the second cassette I ever bought after Fleetwood Mac Rumours.

September 14, 20241 yr Author Ha ha. I was just scrolling the music board to get caught up, and I got all excited to respond to this thread title. And then I realized the thread was started by... me. So, let me just say this:

Dude washes dishes most nights, and he's a multi-millionaire. Give the man some credit.
