NickH Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 +1 to Bon Jovi being a ton of fun to cover. We do Livin' On A Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive and they're both great. I wish we were back in the days when rock n roll was silly, irreverent, sweaty and joyous*. Too many tortured "artists" worrying about if their angsty emo-dirge correctly reflects the sorrow and misery of their lives. Give me Lay Your Hand On Me any day of the week. * Oh sh!t, that was the 80's. Nevermind, disregard the whole post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 [quote name='Sibob' post='677045' date='Dec 7 2009, 07:27 PM']James Crofts (Shuker Endorsee last I checked) used to play for Bon Giovi. They've done loads of Euro tours and big gigs in the UK etc. Not sure if he's on here, met him a while ago, but didn't stay in contact! Si[/quote] He still was last summer - was speaking to him after they played the Farmyard Party (big bike rally)! Nice guy and a really good band.......

pete.young Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 OK all you JBJ lovers, time for a quick straw poll. If you were looking for a Bon Jovi number to cover, would Sleep When I'm Dead be on the list? Someone in the band suggested we have a crack at it, but I think it's one of the more obscure songs and less likely to get a reaction from non-JBJ fans than some of the more well known songs.
