It's basically a song about him always being on the road and away from his wife and the stage is his mistress who keeps him away from home. There's more to it, but that's the main theme of the song.
Perhaps, but 'some blonde gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed' sounds to me more like the real thing rather than a metaphor, especially considering he's a rock star on the road. Perhaps its literal and metaphorical at the same time. At any rate, I imagine his wife wasn't loving the song.
@@sonofjay817 That line about the Blonde causing nightmares in the first verse is later mentioned in the beginning of the 3rd verse: "Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked And she's giving me the eye Well I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died Ooh yeah" He was saying he had dreamed he had said yes and dreamed she was in his bed.
So sad his voice now is shot and he can’t perform this song or others like he did years ago. I saw them in concert back in 93 and many times since so grateful 🙏🏻
@@maryhuhnke8496 gettting older sucks I was just stating it is sad he can’t sing like he used to I’m sure it upsets him as well. I just saw him perform a week ago at a drive in and he did his best but you could see him struggling which made me sad to see. I’m in his video he made in Philly and met the whole band on the set of Who Says you can’t go home. Amazing talent and humans all around helping others.
Yes! They are gonna be performing in my city the day before my birthday, there was a time I wouldn’t miss it for the world, but it’s just too hard to see him now with the strained voice.
When he sings "I want to be as close as the Holy Ghost is" this is referring to his Catholic school upbringing. At a dance the Nuns would always say leave enough space between you for the Holy Ghost.
the song is about life in the music industry that is his bed of nails and the stage is his mistress while the sweeter side of the song is about how he misses his wife and what he wants to do for her
Back in the day, they played two nights in the city lived and I got to go to both. Both nights were awesome but they were different in the best possible way.
You have it right. People think when he says “ while my mistress she calls me to stand in the spotlight again” he is talked about cheating is but he’s not very special place, he is talking about being on the road does the music its self in the people in the audience.
🙌❤️The stage is his spotlight about missing his wife and being on the road the mistress is the road! Please, please do Keep The Faith! Thank you for doing this song and Bon Jovi period, soundtrack to my life! I’ll Be There For You is a must! I also love Have A Nice Day and It’s My Life!
If you think that's versatile, you should check out the more country type Bon Jovi songs like Who Says You Can't Go Home, Lost Highway, and Do What You Can. My personal favorite Bon Jovi era is 2000s. I like stuff like It's My Life, Everyday, Have A Nice Day, Welcome to Wherever You Are, All About Lovin' You, Say it Isn't So, What Do You Got, and Misunderstood!
You know the guitar solo on top of the mountain top was shot on a real mountain top with a helicopter. The same helicopter that dropped him off. Remember years before green screen
While you are at a Bon Jovi week give Hey God a try, you’ll hear another different sound from them. Also if you find the time for Something For The Pain. You are reminding me of how much I used to love Bon Jovi with this reactions. Yes, I listen to Hypocrisy and Amon Amarath and I still love Bon Jovi.
@@jamestate5059 yep. People seems to be recommending mostly love songs. But most of my favourites are like Hey God, Dry Country, Blood on Blood, Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night...
I suggest as one of your artists of the week please do Pink. Preferably her live performances. She's the youngest and the 10 artist to be given The Icon Award by The Billboards. Her live performances at the Grammys, AMAS, Billboards, Brits Award shows along with her footage from Iheart shows and her concertsare untouchable. That is unless there's another performer that sings live hanging upside down, off a 34 story building, flying over a crowd, lifting a man while singing and bending backwards. Start with her best live performances then pick your favorites from there.
For Madonna: start with “ like a prayer, then do “ borderline” “ Vogue” . Then, Justify my love” and “ what it feels like for a girl” both banned from MTV.
Emotional song, yeah it's a love song, but with some very dubious undertones. Please react to some more music by twenty one pilots, they have a new album out, Scaled and Icy
New subscriber here. I really enjoy your reactions. You really need to react to alter bridge. They are the best rock band out there right now IMO. React to Blackbird first
Alright let me try and help you out with your misinterpretations . Video of always was dark hair girl and the guy are boyfriend and girlfriend the other girl was her roommate and he cheated with her . 2 bed of roses is a song to his girl saying because he's always on the road he realizes how much he loves her hence bed of roses and on the road touring is torcher to him being away from her hence bed of nails
For a guy at your age, and this song feels new to you, then maybe you should stop reacting to music. Classic songs like this is a must know in a mans life. Come on

Jon and his wife were high school sweethearts and have been married forever. This was written during a strained time in their marriage
Another amazing song by Bon Jovi from the album where Bed of Roses is - Dry Country
"Tonight I won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely". Truth
My favorite Bon Jovi song
Bon Jovi had a great 25-30 year run that if you didn't live through it you just dont know. It was like Elvis or the Beatles in the 80s
Bon Jovi's "Thank You For Loving Me" should be on the wedding play list,
That was my wedding song!
So sad his voice now is shot and he can’t perform this song or others like he did years ago. I saw them in concert back in 93 and many times since so grateful 🙏🏻
It's been almost 25 friggin years! Damn give the man a break!

@@jzekas21 I'm following what you're saying. It makes me sad too! I've seen him in concert a few times, but never met him.
Yes! They are gonna be performing in my city the day before my birthday, there was a time I wouldn’t miss it for the world, but it’s just too hard to see him now with the strained voice.
Listen to Bon Jovi... sing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. You will be amazed!
Ritchie is such a great guitarist.
Woo-hooo, great job brother, as always. In These Arms plz
LoVe BON JOVI + JON is My HeRo, he saved my life!!🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹This songs one of my favs/beautiful too!!🙏🏼 Ty 4 sharing this!!!👏🏻🇺🇸
When he sings "I want to be as close as the Holy Ghost is" this is referring to his Catholic school upbringing. At a dance the Nuns would always say leave enough space between you for the Holy Ghost.
One of my fave songs! Bon Jovi are #Legends. ☺🥰♥
Bon jovi's "Keep the Faith", GnR's "You could be mine" and ACDC's "Big Gun" will always manages to get skiped by reactors..
That's because they're not that good.
« I wanna lay you down on a bed of roses » 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹
So romantic, I never get tired of this song.
You gotta do Whitesnake "Still of the Night" soon. You can thank me later.
Thanks Holla for reacting to one of my favorite ballads ever! Bon Jovi rabbit hole forever my friend! Thanks again.
Remember listening to this my senior year in highschool. Popped this song in the cd player and it was over!
He wrote this song for his wife Dorothea and the mistress in the third verse is the stage
Time to check out This Ain't A Love Song, and Born to Be My Baby 🙏
the song is about life in the music industry that is his bed of nails and the stage is his mistress while the sweeter side of the song is about how he misses his wife and what he wants to do for her
At every concert he would pick a girl in the audience and sing to them on stage for this song. Amazing. 🌹❤️
Back in the day, they played two nights in the city lived and I got to go to both. Both nights were awesome but they were different in the best possible way.
Great Song
Yes please Madonna!! And by the way I looove Bed of Roses!!! And your reactions too!!
You have it right. People think when he says “ while my mistress she calls me to stand in the spotlight again” he is talked about cheating is but he’s not very special place, he is talking about being on the road does the music its self in the people in the audience.
React to Ritchie Sambora's first solo album, all album has top 10 guitar solos!
Rosie solo sounds like Born to Be My Baby
