KevB Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 In previous bands I covered You Give Love A Bad Name and Wanted Dead Or Alive (where I could also do the intro wind sounds and basic keyboard bits with midi pedals, went down very well) and in another we did DL's cover of Sweet's 'Action'. Quite enjoyed doing them from what I recall, it was 6 or 7 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin8708 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) [quote name='redroque' timestamp='1361277856' post='1983705'] Both great bands in their time and liked by people at the time. As you are obviously all (most) under 25 and were not born when On Through the Night and New Jersey came out, you are clearly well qualified to throw ridicule at music your Dads listened to. In 15 yrs time, remember your attitude when your children laugh at the old man tripe you are currently listening to And ducks Too close to 50 to call and toured in the 80's with as much hair as I could muster. Thank goodness these days I can save a fortune in gel and spray Saw Bon Jovi at Hard Rock Calling last year ( I think ) and they are headlining at the Isle of Wight festival . [/quote] I saw Bon Jovi at Hard Rock Calling a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the show , great audience interaction which the American bands seem to have in bucket loads . Bon Jovi is head lining the Isle of Wight festival , so they must be doing something right . I 'll vote Bon Jovi as the better band , I have never seen so many guitar changes in a gig as much as Ritchie Sambora , pure gearstalker heaven .

Myke Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I love them both and I'm only 18 so I was nowhere near born in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It's gotta be Bon Jovi. It's so insincere. All that pretend working class lyric bollocks, when he's a multi millionaire. He's dying to be Springsteen but is just lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Speaking of Springsteen he most definitely was skint before he started selling records. I used to live in that neck of the woods and I know a guy who used to accept IOUs from him for pizzas. Nice guy too everybody speaks very highly of him. Bon Jovi not so much.

seashell Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 [quote name='Elvis Valentine' timestamp='1361285480' post='1983898'] I would say Bon Jovi are better purely on the strength of the fact that they did the soundtrack to Young Guns 2 . [/quote] Me too, for this reason. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redroque Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1361310868' post='1984502']. Bon Jovi not so much. [/quote] Seb Bach would probably agree with you if he wasn't subject of a gagging order (from JBJ for those of you too young to remember Skid Row!)

Merton Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 [quote name='Elvis Valentine' timestamp='1361285480' post='1983898'] Both appalling bands imho. I would say Bon Jovi are better purely on the strength of the fact that they did the soundtrack to Young Guns 2 . [/quote] Not true. Jon Bongiovi did it, not the band.
