First song you heard by them?

Would probably be "You give love a bad name"which rocked. Some chick had Slippery When Wet on her walkman and she gave it to me to listen - I really wanted to do her and thought that listening to her music might be a good way in. It wasn't, but the song rocked.

Do you rate them as one of the great rock acts?

Easily. Have seen others who many, many people rate and they do not stand up, particularly live. But that's the next question. Still making good songs over twenty years after Prayer.

Any song, video clip or album that brings back a particular good memory for you?

Was in Santa Fe Gold(Old strip club in Melbourne) and was on a bucks night - girls everywhere. In walks Bon Jovi - the whole band - and bam, just like that, the bucks night is forgotten and every stripper in the place is all over those basttards. Had to tip my hat to them. Not a song or clip, but a real life encounter. Had a quick chat and ahandshake and told JBJ he was a bastard for getting the attention of every chick in the place. He shouted the bucks party a round of beers as way of making it up. Nice bloke.

Have you seen them live? What did you think?

Seen them live three times, and they are easily in the upper echelon of live acts in the world. Saw U2 the week before this time, and there is simply no comparison

Anything else you care to discuss re Bon Jovi?

One of my fave bands. Continue to work hard eventhough they don't have to

First song you heard by them?
Livin On A Prayer, loved it.

Do you rate them as one of the great rock acts?
Over 25 years as a band, and still making albums that, for the most part, fans are happy with. So yeah, I'd rate them. And still tourning the world to sold out shows in large arenas. Also one of the few bands to always include Australia in what they do. Some big name bands have never come here, some have come once. But Bon Jovi are here every 3 years or so.

Any song, video clip or album that brings back a particular good memory for you?
Not a good memory as such. Just many visions of their songs playing at BBQs, parties and such. Had a mate who was full on into thrash metal, and bagged me for my 'wussier' taste in music. But he always enjoyed what Bon Jovi did strangely enough.

Anything else you care to discuss re Bon Jovi? To me, come across as decent guys. Never hear of them doing fucked up things involving fans, drug binges, etc. Have just let the music do the talking, and it's spoken volumes.

[jjhewlett]

First song you heard by them?
You give love a bad name

Do you rate them as one of the great rock acts?
Yes! Still kicking ass after 25 years. One of the last great bastions of hope for rock music

Any song, video clip or album that brings back a particular good memory for you?

Always dug the bed of roses film clip. Nothing beats a guitar solo ontop of a cliff!

Have you seen them live? What did you think? Seen a live concert video, that was pretty cool.

Anything else you care to discuss re Bon Jovi?

If there were more bands like Bon Jovi & less acts like Lady Gaga the world would be a better place...
