I'll help you Nat This song was recorded on the Slippery When Wet Tour the iconic tour where they did 300 shows in 300 days He talked about how the life of a rock star your on the road you see cold faces because you don't know them ur gonna see them one day and they are gone forever you will never see them again. It gets so hectic that you can sometimes only tell what day it is from the bottle you're drinking. How does he know promoters and fans ant you are dead or alive they have paid their money, and the promoters have booked the venue they don't wanna hear ur sick, u had a death in our family or u are tired, they do not care that your flights are delayed that is why they showed the different weather it is literally u are wanted dead or alive. The steel horse is the bus the plane or the limo whichever way he travels the loaded six-string is his guitar. This song was the first song that showed people the life of an entertainer did you see the exhaustion after their shows Jon the lead singer said sometimes he would sit in his hotel and cry all night he would be so lonely his voice would hurt he would be exhausted but he knew he had to do it all again the next day because he was wanted dead or alive. Amazing song and video thank you
The song is about touring non-stop and being wanted to play shows by promoters dead or alive (sarcastically of course)...the Steele horse is the tour bus and the six string on his back is the guitar 🎸
It's a double neck guitar. In this case a six string and twelve string. Sometimes they're two six strings, but tuned differently or with different pickups for each neck to have a different sound. They're often used in live shows for songs that have two very different sounds in a song, but played by the same guitarist. In this case, it's so he can play the very recognizable intro (which is repeated throughout the song) and chorus on the twelve string, then the lead on the six string, without having to play it all on a traditional six string. Playing the intro and chorus on a six string wouldn't have the sound quality that it does, not being as bright or as full.
Nat, the die hard Bon Jovi fans know, at their live shows, when Jon says "Please rise for our national anthem"... it's this song! Continue exploring all their music... especially off Slippery When Wet and New Jersey albums!
Hey Nat. Pretty sure it's about life on the road as a rock star. Steel horse is the bus loaded six string on his back is his guitar. Sees so many faces don't sleep for days touring etc. it's always been a bad ass song. Great reaction! ❤ Oh that's the ever fantastic Richie sambora on the dual guitar and vocals.
Exactly - they wrote this about life on the road. I love songs that are clearly so personal to the band. I think you'll like their hits, they have a good mix of rockers and ballads.
This song is the band's anthem, all about being on the road. They are wanted, dead or alive" by their fans. "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all!"
@@andreabindolini7452 Livin' On A Prayer is a great song,. It is an anthem of sorts and possibly a world anthem, but Wanted Dead or Alive is the band's anthem. They have said that themselves many times. THEY consider it the band's anthem.
@@andreabindolini7452 Source would be Jon Bon Jovi himself. At a concert, while introducing the song "Wanted Dead or Alive" he told the crowd that it was inspired by Bob Seger's hit "Turn The Page" and was the band's anthem!
Saw various concerts and he never said that in my presence, but OK. Anyway, artists can have the most diverse opinions about their own work. What counts is the audience and critical consensus and, while both are undoubtedly masterpieces, that consensus is clearly oriented in defining "Livin' On A Prayer" as their signature song. A song that, by the way, the band tried to replicate over and over again, both stylistically and lyrically.
Living On a Prayer should be your next Bon Jovi song. It's got more than 1 billion views and counting. You can't do them without hearing it. You may have even heard some of it already, it's extremely famous! Then there are so many more great songs from them. Pure 80s fun & talent.
Its about how long they stayed on tour and how it wore them down, his music was so wanted fans didnt care if he was dead or alive. Richie Sambora is on guitar and him and Jon Bon Jovi were iconic together. I am pretty sure you have heard them without knowing it, the hook to livin on a prayer will let ya know
You really need to watch the live video of the Eagles, Hotel California. You will see a double guitar solo. One of the best guitar solos by two of the best guitarists. I believe they are in Maryland 1973. Just subbed, I like your channel.❤
The double guitars also can be tuned differently for different parts of a song or just another song to avoid guitar swaps and as @patrickoneill290 said, they could be set up completely different like a six string and a 12 string. Another band that used it was Triumph, check out Lay it on the Line, great song, and Cheap Trick used them a lot to name a couple of bands.
Bon Jovi plays a little bit of everything. They have some real bangers and some amazing power ballads. Their earlier stuff definitely went harder than their later stuff. But it is all amazing!!!
i saw them when i was like 14 with my cousin after slippery when wet came out. so much fun! you should check out “runaway” next. that goes back to their early days 🖤
That'd be Bon Jovi axeman Richie Sambora on the double neck guitar back in the day. He uses the talk box on "Livin On A Prayer," try that one. This was when they were selling out arenas for years, touring was exactly this.
So the double neck guitar? One is a 12 string and the other is a 6 string. So you can play nice slow acoustic with the 12 string and with a flip of a switch go to the 6 string and jam, bend the strings and whatnot like hard rock riffs. That's what I think but don't quote me on it lol.
You should definitely check out "You Give Love A Bad Name" (the Official Video), "Lay Your Hands On Me" (video), "Bad Medicine" (video), and "Always" live at Wembley Stadium 1995. There's a lot more, but it would take forever to list them all here.
Nancy Wilson the blonde sister from heart used a double Neck Guitar, Dream of the Archer and Mistral Wind. But i met Bon Jovi lol in the 90s a good song to review would be Blaze of Glory, it brings back some good memories. Then watch the movie Young Guns after.
Have you done any "Led Zeppelin"? Stairway To Heaven Live 1973, Jimmy Page and I think, Dazed & Confused as well, are excellent where you see Page playing a double head guitar. Anyways, Bon Jovi took this tune Live on MTV in 1989 "Unplugged" and Barefoot. Already in the works, that performance helped launch "MTV Unplugged" Check out that performance and, there's some super fab performances to check out from there.
😊😊I like to belt this one out at karaoke. It's fun to sing, because as soon as the music starts, the crowd is like "hell yeahhh !! They always sing along. 😊😊😊😊
He's just saying his life as a musician on the road is similar to being a loner cowboy out on the range in the Wild West, going from town to town, not staying one place for too long, just keep moving on. It's describing the kind of isolating life of touring, but also being successful & doing something special, rocking a million faces, but still tired and you have your bandmates with you, too, who understand you.
You should check out some of their songs live. Great live band!!! Check out Living on a Prayer, Bad Medicine, In These Arms, Bed of Roses, You Give Love A Bad Name, It’s My Life, Dry County, Hey God, These Days. The song Always from live in London is stellar, but all Bon Jovi songs are fantastic in my opinion. Lifelong fan here of 38 years!
Someone probably answered this about the two guitars, but typically the top guitar is a twelve-string for the opening and primary guitar work, and the bottom is a six-string for the solos. Don Felder of the Eagles uses the same for "Hotel California."
Yes the double neck guitar is so Richie Sambora can play both the acoustic part of the song and switch to the electric guitar lead. When I saw them for the Slippery When Wet tour he played that guitar but when I saw them for the New Jersey tour he had an acoustic guitar on a stand with his electric guitar slung on his back and he went back and forth. The double neck is easier for that transition but also a heavier guitar to lug around the stage.
Here's another new band to give a listen, if interested. "Oceans (Live) - MTV Unplugged -Pearl Jam" (by the channel: Pearl Jam) --This song by Pearl Jam is from their debut album called "Ten" released in 1991. Featuring lyrics written by lead vocalist Eddie Vedder and music co-written by Vedder, guitarist Stone Gossard, and bassist Jeff Ament, this song is a beautiful tune that captures the bands alternative rock and grunge sound.
Have you met Motley Crue yet? How about Guns n Roses……or progressive rock maybe like Rush? Rush- Canadian Band, album-2112 , song- Overture will blow your mind - there’s 3 people in the band. I saw them do that live in 1978…. yep….3 people. Xanadu, Tom Sawyer- those are highlights you’ll see too.❤️
I like Bovine Joni (always sunny in Philadelphia joke) alright but at least hits kinda sound the same. This one, you give love a bad name and living on a prayer
Powerless by Linkin Park. Its not a screamer. You gt to really hear Chester's vocal ability. It is a high favorite of mine and that is saying a lot as I don't really have a favorite LP song. For me, their music is a mood.
You ruined it with auch a huge blocker. There were much smaller ones to use. Richie Sambore is the lead guitarist. They were so high when they did this. Oh,and the reference to the "steele horse" is their tour bus,or an airplane.
Back at the height of their popularity, they were doing 300 shows a year. This song is a testament to that.
Bon Jovi. Living on a prayer, You give love a bad name, Bad Medicine, so many great songs to listen to
Yep...facts
I swear this song has one of the greatest solos ever
One of my favorite guitar solos. Richie makes that guitar scream!
Pinched harmonic.....He's one of the best at it.

Steel horse is Jon’s motorbike 🏍️
Yes double neck giutatar
I think he rides a girls bike
The double guitar first made its appearance with Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin ...
The song is about touring non-stop and being wanted to play shows by promoters dead or alive (sarcastically of course)...the Steele horse is the tour bus and the six string on his back is the guitar 🎸
And Jon Bon Jovi did say Wanted Dead or Alive meant if they died . The value of their music would sky rocket!
You Give Love a Bad Name
Living On a Prayer
Bed of Roses
Lay Your Hands on Me
Never Say Goodbye
Blaze of Glory
This ain’t a love song
Blaze of Glory
Always
I’ll be there for you

This song was sound track for the Ned Kelly movie
This song is the band's anthem, all about being on the road. They are wanted, dead or alive" by their fans. "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all!"
The band's anthem is, wthout the slightiest doubt, Livin'On A Prayer

Richie the lead guitarist live has used a 3 neck guitar before Moscow 1989. Richie Sambora is very underrated.

Nancy Wilson from Heart used it too. ❤
This song is about being on the road, playing concerts, constant travel and tired you get:)
Another brilliant road song about being wanted by everyone and still feeling alone.
It’s got that outlaw feel to it. Old West cowboy.
Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer should be your next song!!! It's Fire!
It’s the touring life and fame
The song Raise your hands is underrated in my opinion
Bon Jovi plays a little bit of everything. They have some real bangers and some amazing power ballads. Their earlier stuff definitely went harder than their later stuff. But it is all amazing!!!

One of the best concerts, 87, 90’s and in 2000’s
One of my favorites I hope you listen to from them is Blaze of Glory.
It's a Gibson double neck . 12 string top, 6 string bottom. You can change between the two with a flip of a switch.
That'd be Bon Jovi axeman Richie Sambora on the double neck guitar back in the day.

Love those pinch harmonics on that solo.

“Living on a prayer” for sure if you want to see how great they are. Video is awesome and so is the song.❤❤
Hi Nat... great song, great reaction. Hope you are well and keep on keepin' on!
Thank you and I hope you’re doing good as well!
Bon Jovi Always is beartmelty ballad. Try it!
the 2 necked guitar haas 6 strings on one neck, 12 on the other. Richie Sambora plays this kind of guitar a lot.
Yes the double neck guitar is so Richie Sambora can play both the acoustic part of the song and switch to the electric guitar lead.

The double neck is easier for that transition but also a heavier guitar to lug around the stage.
There is a 5 neck guitar ! 🎸 And a 3 and 4 neck guitar and you have just now seen a 2 neck guitar 🎸🎸
The top neck is a twelve string. What he's using for the little intro. The bottom neck is a 6 string. What he uses for everything else.
Here's another new band to give a listen, if interested.

Rush- Canadian Band, album-2112 , song- Overture will blow your mind - there’s 3 people in the band. I saw them do that live in 1978…. yep….3 people. Xanadu, Tom Sawyer- those are highlights you’ll see too.❤️
Check out Bad Medicine, Lay Your Hands on Me, Little Bit of Soul for a more upbeat vibe from them.
Nat we still need that Fear Factory homie. Autonomous Combat System my good man
❤❤❤ My favorite is Blaze of Glory ❤❤❤
I like Bovine Joni (always sunny in Philadelphia joke) alright but at least hits kinda sound the same. This one, you give love a bad name and living on a prayer
🤘🔥🤘
The double neck guitar is so the player can change guitars in the middle of the song without having to strap on a different guitar 🎸 ☮️👵🏼
❤
Featured in Young Guns movie
Bad Medicine, Living on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name
Young guns movie
Powerless by Linkin Park. Its not a screamer. You gt to really hear Chester's vocal ability. It is a high favorite of mine and that is saying a lot as I don't really have a favorite LP song. For me, their music is a mood.
This ain’t a love song by Bon Jovi PLEASE
Yes! That’s a great one too!
It was about their time on the road, or in the air, steel airplane
You watched the video but you weren’t paying attention if you still question what this song is about.
Nat!!!
Wasup my guy!
Similar song “Young Guns” from the movie same title. This one flew a bit under the radar.
Blaze of Glory is the song from Young Guns II - my bad.
2 guitars tuned differently. so they don't have to swap.
Ever ever ever ever stop a solo
You ruined it with auch a huge blocker. There were much smaller ones to use.
Richie Sambore is the lead guitarist. They were so high when they did this.
Oh,and the reference to the "steele horse" is their tour bus,or an airplane.
TH-cam is weird, I wasn’t able to use anything smaller without the video being blocked
