Anyone ever played in a Bon Jovi tribute?

[NickH]

+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

when bon jovi played gateshead stadium sometime back in the 90's (?) they were so loud i could hear them from my house about 2 miles away...

so i got out my bass and played along...

now i can say that i've jammed with bon jovi, but they didn't know it at the time

good luck with the band

Not sure if he's on here, met him a while ago, but didn't stay in contact!

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.......

You've got 2/3 of the band right there.....

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.
