I'm not expecting a lot of people here to like this band since they're (or at least they were) pop metal to the extreme, but I think they're awesome so enough of that.

Anyway, they're probably one of my favorite 80s rock bands. Their songs are catchy and fun as **** to listen to. My favorite songs would have to be Runaway, Wild In the Streets, Livin' On a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, Born to Be My Baby, etc. I don't really take a liking to their newer stuff though, especially their newest album which is pretty much a country rock atrocity, but their old stuff is some of the best hard rock in my opinion. They're not exactly the most technical skilled band around (which I hardly care about anyway), but their songwriting is top notch if you're into ultra-catchy glam/pop metal.

It's My Life makes me wanna strangle whoever is playing.

I like It's My Life lol.

Livin On A Prayer is one of my all-time fave songs...You Give Love A Bad Name, Bad Medicine, Runaway, pretty much all of Slippery lol.

I also really love "Always"..slow, but it's so good.

Am I the only one notices the similarity between It's My Life and Bryan Adams's Summer of 69?

Comus · 05-01-2009, 02:45 PM

Didn't really see any similarity, just listened to both on Spotify, only thing it reminded me is that I really like some really bad music.

They hit big just as I was getting into Metal ('86) and they were the antithesis of what I was getting into but c'mon. They do what they do and admittedly do it well. Wanted Dead Or Alive is a great Rock track

You wanna tell me how to live my life?

I never knew Bon Jovi's band was considered anything related to metal.

They were a Rock band who broke big in '86 the year that I got into Metal so anything like this was considered lightweight if you was digging on Iron Maiden and Metallica etc that's all. That sort of thing goes on now with Fall Out Boy par example.
