Jon and Richie's voices together are magic. 'You Give Love A Bad Name' should be next!

And it's too freaking bad Richie's alcoholism led to him leaving/being kicked out of the band. They made some seriously great music together, but sometimes people's demons get the better of them.

That backup vocalist is the absolutely amazing Richie Sambora! Love Richie! Yes, he can absolutely sing! He actually has some solo stuff out there that is awesome. Please more Bon Jovi! They are amazing! I'll Be There For You, Always, You Give Love a Bad Name....so many to choose from.

I've never been a real bon Jovi fan. But every time they released a new single, I wanted to hear Richie's part. His voice always touches me, I 'feel' it. I still have 2 songs from his first solo album on my playlist: Ballad of Youth and Father Time. I recommend everyone to listen to them.

Bon Jovi forever Richie is an amazing singer and songwriter and an underrated songwriter and guitarist.

richie's backing vocals can't be beat! he has a great voice :)

Richie’s voice complements so beautifully Jon’s voice!

That's Richie Sambora singing backup. Hugely underrated as a singer. Also cowriter of most Bon Jovi songs starting with the second album. You should check out his solo album Stranger In This Town. Very blues oriented rock.

Great album start to finish! Richie never got the credit he deserved!

When I look back at the videos with live concert footage from my generation, I could kick myself for not appreciating what we were blessed with at the time. I had the pleasure of seeing SO many concerts during that time period of the 80's and 90's, (Bon Jovi being one of many bands)and there will never be another time like it. There was such a feeling of togetherness and just being in the moment. No distractions like smart phones, safe spaces and trigger warnings. We were just down to rock out and have a good time. And we sure did. Great reaction.

So, so true! 99% dito ..... since I did already appreciated it then. In Switzerland, this kind of music was not present in the charts. We, who bought the records and went to the concerts, were seen as quite a strange breed. Never the less, it was a great time, with great bands, fantastic music and really unbelievable LIVE shows. The singer sang, the guys played their instruments live and what you saw and heared - you got it LIVE. Not hearing 80% of the music from a laptop and selling the show as a live event as it's very often today. Even in my 50's, I still go to see bands play. But the magic touch it had in the 80''s and 90's will never be reached again!

So true we were so blessed with great bands and groups during these days especially the 80s hair bands

Hands down my fave Bon Jovi song - the stripped down acoustic version is also great. Richie's vocal contributions are often overshadowed by Jon. Love this!! 🙂❤

An iconic song for sure, the lead and transition into the solo is indeed awesome. Still magical to listen to it so many years later...

Richie was born with the guitar 🎸 in his hand I swear and his vocals are amazing

Emilio Estevez asked to use Dead or Alive for the film Young Guns II but Jon felt it wasn't quite right for a western, so he wrote Blaze of Glory, and released it as a solo song featuring Jeff Beck on guitar. It's distinct but quite similar.

Bon Jovi is incredible! YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME and IT’S MY LIFE are other standouts by them and two of my favorites.

Some of the best lyrics ever in a rock song! Jon & Richie made magic with this song

Another GREAT Bon Jovi rocker is his song from the movie, "Young Guns" called "Blaze of Glory". THAT song REALLY melds rock with the feeling of the Old West. Much as I love "Wanted Dead or Alive", I think for me, "Blaze of Glory" edges it out slightly as my favourite of the two. Whether it does for you or not, I think you'll really enjoy it!

It's from "Young Guns II" actually. 🙂

I've heard this song on the radio for decades and only now can I hear Bob Seger's 'Turn The Page' influence. The things you learn on your page, Salvo. 🙂

Jon(lyrics) and Richie (music) worked so well together. This is one of my faves. Living on a prayer was the first song I heard as a young teen in the UK.so the slippery when wet album I am emotionally attached to. When you hear the western style guitar you can imagine Jon on his steel horse(bike) with his six string on his back(guitar) driving through a western movie set with tumble weeds being blown down the street.

Jon Bon Jovi is the Icon and the Lead. There are few better then Jon in his prime! Richie Sambora is a huge part of the foundation. His backing Vocals and guitar are amazing. He has a solo version of this that is really good! I'll be There for You, Bad Medicine, and Its My life will give you a variety of this incredible band!

Richie was always my favourite. His vocals and guitar made the Bon Jovi sound.

And you've still just touched the stellar greatness of the 80's and early 90's. There is a reason so many of us are disappointed of music today.

"Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi from the Young Guns II soundtrack is the follow-up to this song. Need to listen to it.

Great reaction! 52 years old here and this was MY BAND! Saw them a bunch of times back in the 80s and through the 2000's. Such awesome music. Glad you discovered them!

Lordy, I was so lucky to grow up in the 70s and 80s. The best music. I think this is my favorite song of theirs. Its so incredible watching people discover Bon Jovi to this day. Awesome.

My favorite Bon Jovi song...and that guitar solo ....my goodness!

The soundtrack record for Young guns II made by Bon Jovi is INCREDIBLE. Such an underrated gem.

At some point, the popular series entitled Deadliest Catch, used this as their theme song. Can I also dare add, this song shifted the way a lot of not fans at all and fans on the fence felt about the band Bon Jovi. Up to this point in their career, Bon Jovi had a worldwide diehard fan base; in my opinion, after the release of this song, it became exponentially larger, again worldwide 🎶🤘🙂👍🎵

That is one of those rare songs that you just NEVER get tired of!

Yet another song…….a fantastic song…..about just the utter grind and isolation and exhaustion of being on long tours. And yet being expected to but everything you have into the shows. It is no wonder so many succumbed to drugs . It’s NOT all wonderful and “romantic” to be a rock star. It’s damn hard work….and lonely. Hours on the road, losing sleep….all for those few hours on stage. It’s a trade I wouldn’t make. I’m DAMN glad that others do! Thank you to all the musicians who live such lives to bring us so much p,erasure and enjoyment!

Lol, it's cool, you're here, awake!! MY FAV!! 🔥🤩 Blessed to have seen them multiple times!! More ANY Bon Jovi!! 🥳

I love the music videos of their concerts. It takes me back.

Ahh...the rock'n roll renaissance era! Such good music! Thank you for memories!!!

Ironically, theres a whole generation of people who only know this song as the theme song to tv's Deadliest Catch. Its one of those songs where every note is absolutely perfect.

I'd have to agree... Samboras voice is stellar...and there would not be Bon Jovi without his many talents! Try 'Thank You For Loving Me' Also research the soundtrack to Young Guns 2... Jon wrote it... Performed it and even had a small acting part in the movie! Filmed near my home town in New Mexico!

In the early '80s, though out the '80's, Bon Jovi put on incredible shows!!!! I live in SF bayarea and went to all their shows here they opened for Scorpions 1st time!!! Great showmanship, very entertaining!!! This song was played on MTV like every day on the radio all day!!!! Lol

If you want to hear Bon Jovi in a completely new sound then "If I Was Your Mother" is the song to listen to. A very obscure song that only long term fans know about

way sleeping!! they're AWESOME!!!!! so glad you now know what we all know. Cheers!

Absolutely straight flames!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Always loved how the solo actually sounds like a steel horse!?! Excellent reaction dude.👍👍👍👍

Oh this was totally a popular song!! So good! I remember waiting for it to be released and bought it that day!! Love this band😊

Been my song for most of my life. Since Miami Vice.

welcome to classic 80s rock it was awesome and i was there seeing it all n i so miss it

You're awake now though!!! Your reaction is priceless! First song I heard was "Runaway" and I was a fan for life! "Runaway" was their debut single. You should react to it and see how far they have come! Love from Texas 🤠 BTW I cried when both Bob Seger and Jon Bon Jovi cut their hair!

“I seen a million faces n I’ve rocked them all” is the line!!

I have loved Bon Jovi since 1986!! Jon and Richie are absolutely amazing! This was my favorite from that album…

I love the fact that younger generations are into the musicvi grew up with. Being a teen in the 80s was magnificent. Going to the concerts was the best. Seeing these bands live, was an experience I wish younger kids could have !

I Love how you enjoy music. Thank you for sharing!

This my favorite Bob Jovi song! It’s epic. Great vocals and guitar.

Saw them years ago, AWESOME CONCERT!!!

This is what was a true ‘band’ was. Everyone was awesome, they worked as a team and they played actual instruments. Today?

This is my favorite Bon Jovi song. Richie Sambora (guitarist) has some great music too! Saw this concert Skid Row opened for them. "Blaze of Glory" From the movie Young Guns 2 a solo by Jon Bon Jovi is Excellent also

Greetings from Northern Michigan. I love this song, I was in high school when Bon Jovi hit the scene. Keep The Faith wasn’t one of his bigger hits but I LOVE that song!

How old are you that you didn’t know Bon Jovi was a band ? I’m in my early 30’s and our parents got us into Bon Jovi when we were 10 years old they saw them so many times and we did too awesome song we miss Richie he left after over 30 years for personal reasons. Look up their new album forever it’s awesome! 👏🥁🎤🎹🪇🎸🎸🎸

Love Bon Jovi! Jon and Richie were so good together! Love all their songs! Yeah, the Seeger feel. Good one ✌️

Bon Jovi is amazing. It was my first Arena rock show! I'm 48 and I remember being blown away at age 13 when i saw them with Skid Row as the opener. I got to go with my cousins and older sister and It remains such a wonderful music memory. Lifelong fan!

Even people that hate on Bon Jovi can agree that this song kicks ass.

Jon and Richie are magical together!! Wouldn't have survived 7th grade without this tape. Lol ❤

In and out of love, Run away ( song that introduced us to Bon Jovi) , bed of roses, blood on blood, ride cowboy ride, always, Levon ( their cover of Elton John) , social disease, it’s an endless list.

Definitely among their best even though it did not sell as well sometimes a great song is not judged by popularity but by time. Certain great songs seemed to grow in popularity as the decades pass!

Sleeping is an understatement ! This is Bon Jovi, you have only touched the surface !

Yes, Yes, YES!! Jon and Rchie are such an awesome duet, they truely to Rock a Million (or more) faces. Thank you Sal, great reaction.

You're cooking with fire now🎉 Bon Jovi is my all time favorite band and thrilled that you are on the band wagon now!!! I loved your reaction to this great song.

That’s my favorite Bon Jovi song❤️

My favorites were Dry County, Always, make a memory, have a nice day, bed of roses. There is a great video of Richie singing ill be there for you at one of their concerts. I love Richies albums also. There are some great acoustic performances of Richie and jon singing together also. Richie's guitar music was awesome.

My all time favourite Bon Jovi track thank you 🎉😊

Thats how we did it in the 80s, SON!

Richie's backing vocals are gorgeous❤

I am soooooo glad I grew up in the 80’s! I was lucky enough to see Bon Jovi 5 times between 1989 and 2012. They have MANY hits. If you like the western sound with rock you need to check out “Blaze of Glory”. Written solely by Jon Bon Jovi and for the Young Guns movie soundtrack.

I gained new respect for them after I saw Jon and Ritchie perform this live and unplugged, I think it was at the Grammys? Now I have to go find that video.

You would love “You Give Love A bad Name”, “Blaze of Glory”, “Bad Medicine”… I could go on forever. Always is another power ballad that is awesome.

Yes!! They always bring it!! What ever that is!!🤘🔥

Bon Jovi are a band from New Jersey. I'm a Jersey girl who was in high school when 'Slippery When Wet' was HUUUUGE!!!! Jon Bon Jovi's Grandmother lived in my small town in NJ. So he was seen in the local market on many occasions when he came to visit his grandmother. So, as teenagers, my friends and I (with our HUUUGE Aqua Net Jersey hair) would hang out outside of that little market just hoping to see him. I never saw him. 😂😂 But I still think of him when I drive past there to visit my parents who still live in that little NJ town. ❤

So many hits. You were curious about his vocal range- Bed Of Roses really showcases that.

Their best song IMO❤❤

"I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all"

My favorite song of theirs! ❤️

There is an acoustic version of Wanted Dead or Alive that is simply outstanding. Two singers, playing two guitars.

Background vocals: Richie Sambora I absolutely love this song! Try out It's My Life. If you listen to it you'll know why I suggest it.

Probably my favorite Bon Jovi song; doesn't get more iconic than them singing this. Just as Johnny Cash's Hurt showed images/video from his life and made the video elevate the song so much, this video does as well- real scenes from the band's touring life that really informs the song and elevates it, making it real and powerful. You can't have great 80's Rock without Bon Jovi.

Them pretty boys from Jersey! Gave it all they had for sure.

I saw them live touring for this album (Slippery When Wet). They were awesome!!

Yeah I blasted this from my car at age 17 in 86 repeatedly.

I am shocked to hear you say it didn't perform as well as some of their others. I don't know about the charts or whatever, but I was in high school when this song came out. And don't get me wrong, I LOVED it and I loved Bon Jovi. But I'm not even kidding when I tell you that there was a period of time where I heard this song probably 3 or 4 times an hour on the radio. You would not believe how overplayed it was. Now that some time has passed I can again appreciate what a tremendous song it is. Richie Sambora is just as amazing as Jon Bon Jovi, some of his solo stuff was great too.

Being a Jersey Girl, needless to say these men made me proud. They are around my age. I grew up listening to Bon Jovi and JOURNEY. You just can’t ask for more

Living on a prayer. Bed of roses. Tons of songs. Richie Sambora guitarist and high harmonies married Heather lockleer years ago

Jon Bon Jovi is a great singer and Richie is great also. These guys made good music.🥰😘♥️💋🦋

Dead or Alive is hands down The ALPHA and The OMEGA of Bon Jovi! Even those who don't like Bon Jovi Love This Song!

Livin' on a Prayer is another good song. So many from this group.

Richies voice is more of a classic one, Jon got the "raspy-ness" .. They were awesome back then !! One of the few Rock concerts I`ve been to which had a 50/50 male vs female audience !! ( I wonder why ?? :D :D ).."You give love a bad name" next ?? .and if you want Richie Sambora doing a solo song I`d try "Stranger in this Town" or "Fathertime".. He`s got a great great voice !!

Richie Sambora is an amazing singer in his own right. His first solo album Stranger in this Town is so good.

My favorite Bon Jovi song. Emilio Estevez wanted to use it in Young Guns. Jon didn't think the lyrics about the stresses of touring fit, so he wrote Blaze Of Glory for the film instead.

This was a huge, huge song, I'm not sure about the charts. It was on MTV 24/7 and everyone was watching MTV back then. We were all like you, fascinated by it, rewatching the video & listening to the tape over and over.

I also want to add that he’s also a stand up guy; married to the same woman for decades and does so much to give back.

Coming from a long time Bon Jovi fan, it's great having you watching this classic. Now, I could give you a list of 10-15 songs to listen to next, but I know that is not how this works. So I will recommend that you listen to "Bed of Roses", their greatest ballad.

My Favorite Band EVER! You need to watch Jon & Richie's performance at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards........Acoustic "Living on A Prayer & Wanted Dead or Alive".......the performance that started the MTV Unplugged series!

Awesome reaction, Salvo. Your reaction is making me want to make a compilation of this song. 😅Hope you're well!

La mejor banda del World....

By far and away my favorite Bon Jovi song. It gives me goosebumps. And the video is fantastic.🔥🔥🔥🔥🤠

One of my favorites Thank you

The backup vocals are done by Richie Sambora , who has an amazing voice on his own . You need to check out Richie Sambora's solo album called Strangers In The City & listen to the song One Light Burning .

Implementing the Western-style “riding a horse into town” music with the lyrics was genius.
