I've seen Bon Jovi in concert 5 times and they sound exactly the same.... they are awesome to watch live!!!! And they're still around touring... since about 1983-84ish
Bon Jovi is 80s music for me! They helped define what music became in the 80s. From arena rock anthems like Livin On A Prayer, to the monster ballads like this song or I'll Be There For You. Slippery When Wet album is fire from front to back, and so is New Jersey. Young Guns II Soundtrack (Jon goes solo for this one) is also a must album for anyone who wants to hear some of Jon's best work. Also, you can't only give credit to Jon, without Ritchie Sambora, you don't have Bon Jovi, his writing and background vocals along with his guitar playing were complimentary to Jon's lead.
Bon Jovi just became the first artists to have three singles that were released in three different decades to reach over a billion views each on the same channel. Not counting views from alternate uploads of the songs: It's My Life (2000), Livin' on a Prayer (1986), Always (1994). All three were released before YT's existence.
There's a reason everyone knows his name. They're an incredible band with incredible songs. I saw them during their New Jersey tour in a small city in Wyoming. Small venue (only about 15K), but they performed like they were in front of 100,000. Amazing show. Consummate entertainers. Legend.
You just listened to Bon Jovi's anthem! Amazing song! That incredible guitarist is Richie Sambora. Jon and Richie were a magical duo, writing the amazing songs and just incredible performances! Their concerts were wonderful! They packed stadiums every time and rocked! Jon Bon Jovi is the ultimate performer! You should definitely check out some of their concert videos, especially Dry County from Wembley in 1995, or Always from that same concert. Also Keep The Faith from Giants Stadium in 2001!
My husband and I werent huge fans of Bon Jovi, didnt own any albums. I was shopping while he was in the car with our son. He hunted me down in the store and said he just heard a song on the radio and we had to go to Tower Records as soon as I was finished getting groceries. Saw the video on MTV that night. That song took them to a new level.
I saw them in 1995 in Bremen/Germany it was my first big concert at 16. Van Halen was the supporting group. We ❤ it. We went to another 5 concerts in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was a great time
Bon Jovi was ranked up with Motley Crue, Poison,Def Leppard,Guns N Roses as one of the biggest hair bands. This is from their Slippery When Wet (1986) album.Many hits from that album. It's a traveling road song."The "steel horse I ride" lyric is a tour bus. Ritchie Sambora is the lead guitarist
@@lilamuzik3385They don't take a plane from city to venue. .Traveling on the road not sleeping for days on a tour bus.They were like every other young band at the time on tour.Coming into a town late at night,Mobbed by women after the show,hotels,access to booze
@@josephvoytus3694 - Dude, every time the "steel horse" lyric was sung, it was a different vehicle shown in the video... private jets, limos, tour buses, etc. Pretty sure it's non-specific, except that they are referring to modern day transportation rather than horses. And of course there's the "loaded six-string" instead of a six-shooter. It's an allegorical song about the lonely traveling life of a cowboy, juxtaposed with the crazy life traveling around as a rock star.
the very first cassette i ever owned was Slippery When Wet. I was seven years old and have been hooked ever since. I'm now 44 and my son is twelve. His frst concert was Bon Jovi two years ago in Omaha, NE.
Bon Jovi was my first concert when i was 12 yo. He was rigged to a line that let him fly over the audience. I thought that was just about the coolest thing i had ever seen, lol. I've loved them ever since. Great reaction!! 😊
Bon Jovi was pretty dang huge, still going too. Axeman Richie Sambora on lead guitars 🎸, Alec John Such bass, Tico Torres drums, David Bryan keyboards, JBJ lead. Richie has incredible vocals, will sometimes lead this song in concert. Have seen them multiple times, 80s 90s 00s10s. We'd the best music, think of it this way, Music and TV were our social media. Not in this video, but diff band altogether, was in a huge audience in Denver back in the day. Can't see me but we were there. 😂
Saw them 3 times in concert. At 74, I've seen great performances, from the Beatles to Elvis, to Alice Cooper, and Bon Jovi is right up there with the best!
I seen him in 2018 here in NJ..where he is from at the(Prudential Center) he was FANTASTIC!!!!!!! OMG let me tell you that I fell in love with this Man/Band when I was 13 - 1993 They were the 1st Rock band I ever listened to and put me onto Rock Music 🎶 also when I sen them in 2018 that was the 1st concert I've ever been to.. AND IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!!! Love You Jon Bon jovi 🎸 🖤
At 2:46, thats my then girlfriend, now wife. The blonde directly above the word FOR on the banner. Her Rock Concert Career highlight! We grew up in the 80's, Spent almost every weekend going to concerts. So lucky we saw almost all the Metal Greats! Watch the Movie ROCKSTAR with Mark Wahlberg. Its a great example of the 80's Concerts and lifestyle!
You need to check out Aldo Nova. He helped Jon get started and then later Jon helped Aldo. They were good friends. Aldo wrote the main guitar riff for the song “Blaze Of Glory”. He gave it to Jon and in return Jon released Aldo’s album Blood On the Bricks on his own Jamco Record Label.
In the 80's Bon Jovi was ranked a top five band. Depending on your feelings who you like most-least. 1-5 could be whoever you want. There's no wrong answer bc it's your opinion.
MILES bigger than Motley Crue, Poison etc. Commercially they were huge plus unlike most 80s hard rock bands they managed to slightly reinvent their sound and keep cranking out hits deep into the 90s. Their back catalogue is impressive and few bands can rival them for pure number of hits. I was into slightly heavier, less popular bands, but you had to respect these guys.
This song is off of there biggest selling album "Slippery When Wet". The video tells the tale of just how much touring they did to promote the album that is why they look so worn out in the video. The steel horse he rides is not a motorcycle as you had said but father that plane that was in the video. Taking them from one place to the other on there none stop concert tour. As he said in the song. "I've seen a million faces and I have rocked them all". Pretty much true again with all the concerts for that one record they made that changed there lives forever.
Wild wild west theme...extreme fandom and the struggles/exhaustion with life on the road (steel horse - tour plane, bus, limos, etc)....six string on his back - like a 'six shooter' for Billy the Kid (side note: song Blaze of Glory was Bon Jovi's cotribution to the film Young Guns 2 about Billy and his gang - producers wanted to use this song, but Bon Jovi said, nah ill write you another one)...should check that tune out too
Richie Sambora is a very underrated guitar player. Most of his solos are controlled and within the context of the song. 2 songs to check out to hear him rip it up are the ALBUM versions of Keep the Faith and Dry Country. Both on the Keep the Faith album.
Seen them as a band live 13 times and Jon solo live once and the concerts are amazing. Incredible experience and I love their albums but I actually prefer them live!!! ❤ Jovi Love
TOPCHEF said it probably the best way you can. That said, I’ve seen Bon Jovi Twice as a band. Both late 80s. Once on his own. All 3 times He ROCKED the house down. He is nothing,if not the most Professional Rock artist still today. He was once quoted saying, after Justin Bieber missed some shows, and was showing up late to concerts, “ Get Your Lazy Ass to Work Kid”! I loved that about him. He knew people paid money to see that artist perform. So if you weren’t doing the “musical” job YOU picked , and people paid to see… Well that’s just the guy Jon Bon Jovi is!!
This is a great video that gives fans just a glimpse of the touring experience. Most bands in reality love performing for the audiences, but absolutely HATE touring.
2019 is a dream come true of a 13 year old girl from philippines truns 46 finally met her idol in a concert golden ring in israel be in that moment of just that touching him was like flying to heaven instnatly, the concert was phenomenal
I have seen Bon Jovi three times over the years. The first time was in 1995 in Gateshead (UK). The last time was at Wembley. The video of Dry County at Wembley 1995 live shows how good they really were. Richie Samboras guitar solo is one of the greatest you will see
I saw them twice at the old Wembley Stadium in London. They’re superb live. Absolutely fantastic. I rocked out for hours! They know how to perform and they enjoy live gigs. And their back catalogue is insanely good. Honestly I grew up in a fantastic time for music. And I’ve loved the band for a very long time. Check out Richi Sambora’s solo stuff (lead guitar). Gorgeous voice.
Scenes from their long tour schedule - just kept going concert after concert. They were beyond exhausted as you can see from the footage. This particular song really showcases Jon's voice and Richie's guitar playing (and back-up singing) better than any of their others, imo.
I went to that concert in Atlanta GA. This is one of the best bands I have ever seen live. Jon is one of the all time best front men ever. They are rated 45th on Billboards top musical artists of all time. Their concerts were top concerts for their respective years. You should watch their documentary. They have had top selling records every decade for 40 years. One of the best bands and shows you will ever see.
Well, if you think 130 million records sold is big, then they're big! Yes, they were everywhere, had hit after hit after hit, on MTV 24/7, great in the studio & live & are still going (without Richie Sambora, though). One of the biggest bands ever. Jon Bon Jovi also beloved because of his charity work. He owns 1-2 restaurants in NJ that are 'pay what you can', that serves people in need free meals every day. He does a lot of great work.
They are incredible live..saw them in 2010. He played for 3 hours and all the hits. They were one of the top bands in their era... absolutely massive with the woman..LoL.
I'm just seeing this. Richie Sambora and Jon BonJovi did an acoustic version of this song on the VMA Awards in 1989, which spawned MTV's "Unplugged" series. It featured artists performing acoustic versions of their music.
One of my first concerts. 1986 Slippery when wet tour Dallas, Tx. Reunion arena. Great memories. Nice to see young people digging this type music. Keep it up.
Yes, they were in the top groups of the 80's. I saw them in the early 80's when I was a teen with Ratt and Tesla. They were very good back then, but I'm not sure now. I got close up photos of Jon. That's when cameras weren't allowed. We didn't have cell phones back then. Just cameras.
I've been a Bon Jovi pretty much since I saw Runaway waaaaay back when on MTV.... I have seen them 5 times in concert and they are awesome!!!!!!!! This song live is amazing!!!!!!!! Jon and Richie-- the guitarist have written most of their songs.... watch some live versions... the one at Giants stadium back in early 2000s
Hey Twins! This to me is one of the best track descriptions of a hair band going on tour along with the trials and tribulations, that comes with it. Great song! Amazing track by Bon Jovi🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2:57 Bon Jovie's cool. 'Slippery when wet' was the best album he put out. Almost every song on that album was a hit. It's a must in every music collection. Where did he Rank? He's in the mix. It depends on your mood for the day & what you feel like listening to that day. 5:18 Richie Sambora. It got pretty stressful in the later years. Richie felt like he wasn't getting enough credit for all the work he put in, so he puts out a solo album to show his talent. (Richie Sambora - Ballad Of Youth) was a monster hit off that album. I still listen to it from time to time.
No bigger band in 86/87, but most guys only picked up this cassette cause the chicks liked them. This song was their best IMHO. Saw them summer of 88 in Colorado & they were good but i went to see Cinderella open for them.
I recall, in late 80s, my high school years, that Bon Jovi, U2, Bangles, George Michael were the BIG deals then. Bon Jovi seemed to REALLY peak in 1987. There is probably another band or artist or three that was big in mid to late 80s, but those stick out in my memory. Mid/early 80s were Michael Jackson (Thriller had him nearly sole focus and heavy radio play for an entire year), Pat Benatar, Journey, Foreigner, The Police, Duran Duran and a few more. OBviously we all have nostalgia for our teenage era of music, when life was complicated, but really was simpler (no responsibilities...yet). The 80s just seem so much better than any other decade to me in regards to music and maybe to teenage movies. Ah, the nostalgia. LOL
Gotta listen to the album version. They have an Extended intro that adds to the mystique and an extended ending that creates a better climax to the song.
I saw Bon Jovi in the late 80’s they are in my top 5 favorite live bands and I’ve been to about 25 concerts, I would say #1 Stevie Ray Vaughan, #2 Metallica, #3 Bon Jovi, #4 AC DC, #5 Def Leppard.
Absolutely a GOOD concerts, lol😂. This was my generation's biggest jump off to follow all hair bands after. They were the transition band for bands like rolling Stones or Pink Floyd to more pop sounding rock. ( glam-rock)
Their debut album has "Runaway", but it was not until 1986's "Slippery When Wet" made them HUGE that things took off for them. I'd say they were bigger than most of the 80's bands after 1986, and Guns n Roses had "Appetite For Destruction"(1987), but only one other album in the 80's with the only hit, ballad "Patience". 1991+ produce "hit" covers and "November Rain". Van Halen, Def Leppard and U2 were big in the 80's also. U2 has their own sound that diverges from rock(more percussive guitar than melodic), and I would not put their musicianship or vocals quality that high - I would say they're more Pop than Rock. R.E.M. was big, but their sound is so different than what I consider "Rock Bands". In the 80's there were bands from the 70's still popular producing hit songs and albums such as Journey, Styx, Foreigner, Rush, Heart, Yes, Boston, The Who, AC/DC, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen & E Street, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Eagles, Queen, and Van Halen.
I never saw them live because I wasn't even 13 yet when this song came out 😂 Regardless,they honed their skills touring and wanted to be the peoples band by being the best band to see live. After that album they toured for 300 shows in 1 year. 300 days out of 365? That's why they were sweating like madmen in this video.
I've seen Bon Jovi in concert 5 times and they sound exactly the same.... they are awesome to watch live!!!! And they're still around touring... since about 1983-84ish

Richie Sambora not only guitar but good singer!
Bon Jovi ruled the mid to late 80's. They were the biggest rock act in the world.
There's a reason everyone knows his name. They're an incredible band with incredible songs. I saw them during their New Jersey tour in a small city in Wyoming. Small venue (only about 15K), but they performed like they were in front of 100,000. Amazing show. Consummate entertainers. Legend.
Steel horse refers to the tour bus. This is a song about the life of a musician on the road
Or limo, or plane.
Richie Sambora is the guitarist. Alec Jon Such on bass guitar, David Bryan on keyboards, and Tico Torres on drums. Jon Such recently passed away.
You just listened to Bon Jovi's anthem! Amazing song! That incredible guitarist is Richie Sambora. Jon and Richie were a magical duo, writing the amazing songs and just incredible performances!

that different sound from the guitar at the start of the song, was Richie playing a special double neck, 12 string guitar

Watched bon jovi live twice. Once in a small venue and large arena. Exceptional performer. Probably ranked to 10 in the 80s. Super popular.
MILES bigger than Motley Crue, Poison etc. Commercially they were huge plus unlike most 80s hard rock bands they managed to slightly reinvent their sound and keep cranking out hits deep into the 90s.

At their peak, Bon Jovi were almost as big as Michael Jackson. They were massive.
They weren't nowhere near Michaels fame. lol
Highly recommend watching Wanted dead or Alive live from London 1995. They are excellent live!

I was listening to Jon Bongiovi when no one knew who he was. 😂
Saw them in '93 at Milton Keynes bowl UK..... no other word ..... AWESOME 🤘
I have seen Bon Jovi three times over the years. The first time was in 1995 in Gateshead (UK). The last time was at Wembley. The video of Dry County at Wembley 1995 live shows how good they really were. Richie Samboras guitar solo is one of the greatest you will see
I saw this tour. It was amazing. Cinderella opened…
Here is our Cinderella reaction for Nobody's Fool!! th-cam.com/video/O0UPVp0mFvM/w-d-xo.html
Along with Deff Lepard and Kiss Bon Jovi puts on the best shows I have seen live.
Check Out Our Def Leppard Playlist!!
I saw them twice at the old Wembley Stadium in London. They’re superb live. Absolutely fantastic. I rocked out for hours! They know how to perform and they enjoy live gigs. And their back catalogue is insanely good. Honestly I grew up in a fantastic time for music. And I’ve loved the band for a very long time.

Definitely should watch Bon Jovi lay your hands on me next
I saw them live, and they were absolutely fabulous!
I went to that concert in Atlanta GA. This is one of the best bands I have ever seen live. Jon is one of the all time best front men ever. They are rated 45th on Billboards top musical artists of all time. Their concerts were top concerts for their respective years. You should watch their documentary.

Hey Guys, The Steel Horse They Ride Is A About The Limousine , Planes and Tour Buses They Are In On Tour Going Around The Country!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys for exploring our music back in the day. Keep going Boy's!!!
Well, if you think 130 million records sold is big, then they're big! Yes, they were everywhere, had hit after hit after hit, on MTV 24/7, great in the studio & live & are still going (without Richie Sambora, though). One of the biggest bands ever. Jon Bon Jovi also beloved because of his charity work. He owns 1-2 restaurants in NJ that are 'pay what you can', that serves people in need free meals every day. He does a lot of great work.
My first concert 87' the Slippery when wet tour. Awesome live. Second concert the year after also Awesome! Lita Ford was the opener.
Saw them live several times! Not in the videos.. I wish. They were totally awesome!!!!!😊😮
Dry County by BonJovi Live Wembley1995 is another classic and fire performance, the solo and the voice of jon is so pure talent!!!🔥
This is a guitar anthem. Yes it is playlist worthy.
They are incredible live..saw them in 2010. He played for 3 hours and all the hits. They were one of the top bands in their era... absolutely massive with the woman..LoL.

Yes, they were in the top groups of the 80's. I saw them in the early 80's when I was a teen with Ratt and Tesla. They were very good back then, but I'm not sure now. I got close up photos of Jon. That's when cameras weren't allowed. We didn't have cell phones back then. Just cameras.
Bon Jovi was at the top of the 80's Rock scene amongst the best. I saw them twice in the 80's and they were Awesome.
They were AWESOME live! Seeing him in those leather pants....!❤❤❤❤
I've been a Bon Jovi pretty much since I saw Runaway waaaaay back when on MTV.... I have seen them 5 times in concert and they are awesome!!!!!!!! This song live is amazing!!!!!!!! Jon and Richie-- the guitarist have written most of their songs.... watch some live versions... the one at Giants stadium back in early 2000s
Seen them live in concert on this tour, awesome concert yay 🤘😆👌🎸🎸🥁🎤🎹
Never saw them in concert, but I did meet Jon at an event once. He is a nice, very chill guy. He considered going out for dinner and drinks with us.
Hey Twins! This to me is one of the best track descriptions of a hair band going on tour along with the trials and tribulations, that comes with it.
Great song! Amazing track by Bon Jovi🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bon Jovi was bad ass in the day! They were one of the top groups for a while! Still great to listen to just about anywhere you go

My wife drags me to their concert every time they are close, and yes they sound good live.
Bon Jovi was way up there in the 80's,n they just came out with a new album a month ago,😍
Lol - Bon Jovi - played through a biscuit tin !!
And - yes - they were good live - back in 1987 (or 88) - Melbourne Australia
There was nobody bigger than Bon Jovi in the 80's.
Next song, Blaze of Glory from Young Guns 2 (the movie)
Back in the day he was dreamy to a young girl lol
'Steel Horse' is the Limo/Tour Bus/Jet Plane
Bon Jovi, my first ever concert!!❤❤
They were great live. I think most bands pre 90’s bands basically sound as good live as they do on the album
I recall, in late 80s, my high school years, that Bon Jovi, U2, Bangles, George Michael were the BIG deals then. Bon Jovi seemed to REALLY peak in 1987. There is probably another band or artist or three that was big in mid to late 80s, but those stick out in my memory. Mid/early 80s were Michael Jackson (Thriller had him nearly sole focus and heavy radio play for an entire year), Pat Benatar, Journey, Foreigner, The Police, Duran Duran and a few more.
OBviously we all have nostalgia for our teenage era of music, when life was complicated, but really was simpler (no responsibilities...yet). The 80s just seem so much better than any other decade to me in regards to music and maybe to teenage movies. Ah, the nostalgia. LOL
How do y'all not know the guitarist!! haha, love the channel.
Being a teen in those times was such a blessing🥲
Excellent reaction. Great song
The guitarist is Richie sambora
Gotta listen to the album version. They have an Extended intro that adds to the mystique and an extended ending that creates a better climax to the song.
I saw them back in 2012 and they were awesome❤❤
❤❤❤Bon Jovi ❤❤❤
I saw Bon Jovi in the late 80’s they are in my top 5 favorite live bands and I’ve been to about 25 concerts, I would say #1 Stevie Ray Vaughan, #2 Metallica, #3 Bon Jovi, #4 AC DC, #5 Def Leppard.
Absolutely a GOOD concerts, lol😂. This was my generation's biggest jump off to follow all hair bands after. They were the transition band for bands like rolling Stones or Pink Floyd to more pop sounding rock. ( glam-rock)
Steel horse is the tour bus
That's more sense. I always thought the steel horse was the guitar.
Favorite 80’s band and this was my favorite song! ❤️🔥🤘🏼 Check out Living on a Prayer, Shot Through the Heart…
Their debut album has "Runaway", but it was not until 1986's "Slippery When Wet" made them HUGE that things took off for them. I'd say they were bigger than most of the 80's bands after 1986, and Guns n Roses had "Appetite For Destruction"(1987), but only one other album in the 80's with the only hit, ballad "Patience". 1991+ produce "hit" covers and "November Rain". Van Halen, Def Leppard and U2 were big in the 80's also. U2 has their own sound that diverges from rock(more percussive guitar than melodic), and I would not put their musicianship or vocals quality that high - I would say they're more Pop than Rock. R.E.M. was big, but their sound is so different than what I consider "Rock Bands".
In the 80's there were bands from the 70's still popular producing hit songs and albums such as Journey, Styx, Foreigner, Rush, Heart, Yes, Boston, The Who, AC/DC, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen & E Street, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Eagles, Queen, and Van Halen.
I wasn’t in any of the clips, but a lot of the scenes in this video were shot in my home city of Pittsburgh.
Richie Sambora and Jon Bon were an amazing team. Check out Richie on some of his solo stuff.
This song is about the rigorous life of being on tour.
BonJovi was even better in live.
I never saw them live because I wasn't even 13 yet when this song came out 😂 Regardless,they honed their skills touring and wanted to be the peoples band by being the best band to see live. After that album they toured for 300 shows in 1 year. 300 days out of 365? That's why they were sweating like madmen in this video.
Бон Джови великолепен и сейчас!!!
