Is it just me, or has Bon Jovi gone... Country? email this discussion to a friend?

It's for sure they're not as hard as they were in the eighties, but have they gone so soft? Their sound is a little more country, not full fledged country, but still.
What's your opinion on this subject?

Have they! shocked lol. I grew up with Bon Jovi back in the 80's when "Slippery when wet" blew the charts wide open! They have definitely softened their musical style over the years as have many bands that have been around for a long time but they will always be out and out rockers to me! I have not heard their country influenced music yet I don't think but I guess we have to hand it to them for stepping outside the box a little; and Bon Jovi is still always Bon Jovi! happy


kllthprmqueen (50)   ranked 19 out of 201 in bon jovi  1 year ago

Haha, yea, I mean it's Bon Farking Jovi, so it's not like they suck or anything, it's just softer, and "Slipper When Wet" was amazing! I wish I was alive when it first came out. );


myLot reputation of 98/100. James72 (6974)  1 year ago

Hahahahaha! So you're making me feel OLD now? I search through page after page of zero response topics that have been sitting there for ages to be a nice guy and make you happy and then you make me out as an old fart?? lol Nice! lol. Slippery when wet by the way sold around 28,000,000 albums which at the time was pretty insane!


kllthprmqueen (50)   ranked 19 out of 201 in bon jovi  1 year ago

Noooo!
I don't mean to make you out to be old, Unless your in your eighties your still a kid. Lol.

I mean, I really didn't mean it that way, and thanks for that little extra info about the album, thats awesome! And by the way, 36, isn't that old. and I dare not say it is, especially in front of aunts lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. James72 (6974)  1 year ago

Oh so we're making reparations now?? lol And you caught me in a sarcastic humour mood today too! shocked I am a teenager of the 80's yes. Now go and listen to some Barney or something..... wink


kllthprmqueen (50)   ranked 19 out of 201 in bon jovi  1 year ago

Eat my shorts bub.
Seriously.
And I used to be afraid of barney, I'd rather listen to like Skid Row, Or Motley Crue, Slipknot, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi (Obviously), The J. Geils Band, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne...
Need I go on? Just because I'm a teenager now, doesn't mean I can't appreciate music that really kicks more a// than any song or CD produced today (unless said CD is by that of the bands from the good music years)
And Yes, Aparently I have caught you in a sarcastic moment, but quite frankly, You've caught me in one too.


kllthprmqueen (50)   ranked 19 out of 201 in bon jovi  1 year ago

Oh.. I kind of didn't mean slipknot was from the great music ages, but they are amazingly talented.


myLot reputation of 98/100. James72 (6974)  1 year ago

Well giddy up then! And what do you think of Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, Megadeath, The Doors, Def Leppard, Poison, Europe (Now who can NOT like Final Countdown!) and one of my favourites - Living Color? I have to admit that all of your choices and your overall tastes are a damn site more appealing to me than all of that hippy hoppy, rap crap I get bombarded with on MTV these days! "My humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps"..... What is up with that?? shocked And let's see how well you can keep the venom in check too shall we! wink

So many people have never heard of Living Color! If you have ready access to music look for a song called "Cult of personality" which is one of their more famous songs. They have an unbelievable guitarist called Vernon Reid..... The Beatles when they hit their drug fuelled stage came out with some great stuff too. "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" is a classic! Same with "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd and many of the earlier albums by Black Sabbath. All very, very good. And last but not least, Van Halen and David Lee Roth when he went solo for a little while! Both fantastic in their day as well. And if you want some classic Aussie rock, download some INXS as these guys kicked a@@ also. Make sure it's INXS pre-2000 though because Michael Hutchence unfortunately passsed away and the band is now fronted by some tosser that won a reality show.

well they've changed their style mainly because they're getting older but I still rock on to their older songs...

Hi kllth,

I agree. I've been hearing countryinfluences aswell.
Maybe it has something to do with aging. The guys are in the business for a long time now, so maybe there getting milder with the years.

Although I have to point out that no matter what song they release, it's always a real Bon Jovi sound. There's their signature in every song they write.

Hello, Yes I would imagine they have gone country since Bon Jovie is singing with Sugarland now. I still like their old music. But the song "who says you can't go home? I like that song. Have a good day!


myLot reputation of 74/100. yezzyk (109)  1 year ago

I usually fastforward that one;-)
