This is the song that got him a record contract. This song was on a radio station "local bands" record, it went from local NYC airplay to national airplay before he had a full band or a record contract. He was 19 when he recorded it for the radio station record.
This was his first song he took directly to a local radio station where they would add local bands songs, Jon did this will studio musicians he hadn’t even formed the band yet, it got picked up at a local New Jersey station where he lived and it became a hit in the top 40, then he got his original line up that became Bon Jovi, it was two years later when there 3 album hit called Slippery When Wet and they became the planets biggest rockstars! Please do Keep The Faith, Bed Of Roses and It’s My Life! Love ❤️ your going down the Bon Jovi rabbit hole🥰🎶🤟❤️
This song tells the story of a young girl who gets so little attention from her parents that she runs away from home and lives on the streets, doing what she can to survive. Jon Bon Jovi would often take a Greyhound bus from New Jersey into Manhattan, where he saw many young people trying to get away in desperation. These are the people who inspired the song.
This was their first video, in the VERY beginning of music videos. He's commented that they had no idea what to do and that they all felt very awkward during filming.
In and Out of Love, Silent Night (both from their earlier album) are really good too. If you're looking for a wedding playlist song, Thank You For Loving Me was one of the dances at my wedding in 02 (yes, I'm old)
You MUST react to ....'She Don't Know Me'!!! It was the very first song I ever heard from Bon Jovi!!! And will always and forever be my favorite song!!
You Give Love a Bad Name Video is a good one. This is a real early song and video. The girl was some execs daughter. They didn’t like the drummed concept and the girl. But it’s a catchy song and Jon is looking so fine.
Love Bon Jovi!! Can you please react to their song/video Living In Sin, Born To Be My Baby, or Jon singing Hallelujah? They are all really good. Great reaction!!🙂
You could be going down a long ass rabbit hole with Bon Jovi they got like 10 or 12 albums and the guitarist Richie sambora made a blues album while Jon made the soundtrack to young guns 2 . Also I left a comment on your bed of roses reaction to correct your misinterpretations of that and always
I love that you requested a Fru song! He's so amazing! I love how he's willing to experiment and take risks because he's making music that he's inspired to make, not what others will like!
Also the chick was some Polygram producer's daughter or so, and they didn't like the fact that hey made up the concept of the video just to stick her in
Good, debut song. Horrible video, though. The band hated it. Jon once said: "that video had nothing to do with us. It made us look like assholes". From another early album, "7800 Degrees Fahrenheit", try "The Hardest Part is the Night" or "Only Lonely" (another hilarious video, but an excellent song)

I have this on vinyl, which I bought way back.
“Runaway” is EARLY Bon Jovi and still great.

Late 70s
Loving the journey with you thanks so much love and God bless x

‘She Don’t Know Me’ is another early one. One of my faves, really 🔥🔥🔥
Yes! I was about ready to suggest this one..one of my faves too!
Get ready ,she don't know me,roulette, shot through the heart
Yes, yes, yes. Only real bon Jovi lovers know this Song. Or John Bon Jovi's Santa Fe is a master piece
Nice to see others who know there are better songs than Livin on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, Always, etc etc
Jon hates that song!!! it was not written by himself!
I've never been a huge Bon Jovi fan, but always thought this song was a banger!
Their first song.. Jon got a Long Island radio station to play it. And they put it on a home grown album. I'm from the Island I remember it well.
one of my favorite from Bon Jovi 😎👍
This is the first video I seen by you, I liked it, love the song & the FF reference makes me want to check out more.
Yes, sir!
This my favorite song by bon jovi
🔥🔥🔥
Their first two albums were great, so raw... 🤗🤘 Enjoy them!
Early Bon Jovi !!! A favourite of mine.later stuff is good as well..
Something for the pain

First song I heard by these guys…..definitely got my attention for a minute.❤️🎼🤘😎
Ah, the beginning. This was Jon"s demo song that got him signed to Mercury records. Nice reaction brother
Wow! This is like the anthem of my youth, I ran away like 10x til I finally left home at 16....
THIS group is the bomb
THIS📀 SONG IS THE 💣 LOVE❤ THE VIDEO 🎥🎬
This is their breakthrough song that put them on the Charts!!
Without a doubt, this is my favorite Bon Jovi song...bar none. They had other good songs, but I feel this was their best song.
Holy crap your reaction to this was awesome and hilarious 😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌🔥
This was their first video, in the VERY beginning of music videos. He's commented that they had no idea what to do and that they all felt very awkward during filming.
Bon Jovi was my first doorway into Rock music, hair metal. Then came Def Leppard, Poison, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC and Scorpions
This song was born before there was a band...Hugh Mc Donald played bass..Alda Nova on guitar..Roy Ritten on keys..
Tim Pierce played the guitar and it's Roy Bittan on keys.
@@csrboltfan2643 yeah..you are so right!
My mistake !!!
I`m enjoying your Bon Jovi journey, so far you`ve only scratched the surface of their hits. I have a suggestion for you, Dry County
Wembley stadium 95
The great Tim Pierce played all of guitars on this song.
This is the best Bon Jovi song. Takes me back...LOL
More Bon Jovi songs to check out "It's My Life", "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "Someday I'll be Saturday Night".
In and Out of Love, Silent Night (both from their earlier album) are really good too. If you're looking for a wedding playlist song, Thank You For Loving Me was one of the dances at my wedding in 02 (yes, I'm old)
Ever John Frusciante song is a whole new world of experiences and emotions. Raw emotions! ❤️
You MUST react to ....'She Don't Know Me'!!! It was the very first song I ever heard from Bon Jovi!!! And will always and forever be my favorite song!!
This was their first single. 1984.
AAyy this is the very first hit single - 1983 I think.
1st song they recorded.
JUST LISTEN IT'S MY LIFE
This song is from 1984, from their first album "Bon Jovi".
Oh lord those lavender leather jeans. Brings back a lot of memories. Wow.
Bon Jovi “Make a Memory” is a good song
Thank you for Loving Me!! Wedding Playlist worthy!!
Every Red Hot Chili Pepper song is a different experience. Power of Equality is very relevant and amazing!!!❤️
Hate to break it to you but this is bon Jovi
Pretty sure this was their first single ever released
“Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles, “More Than Words” by Extreme
You Give Love a Bad Name Video is a good one.
This is a real early song and video. The girl was some execs daughter. They didn’t like the drummed concept and the girl. But it’s a catchy song and Jon is looking so fine.
Love Bon Jovi!! Can you please react to their song/video Living In Sin, Born To Be My Baby, or Jon singing Hallelujah? They are all really good. Great reaction!!🙂
Haven't heard this in forever, great reaction as always! Would love to see you react to twnety one pilots new song Shy Away!
You need to listen to Keep The Faith By them their best song in my opinion!
You need to do Bang a drum with Bon Jovi and Chris ledoux. You'll love that song.
2 words for you: DRY COUNTY! I doubt you will give that guitar solo anything less than a 10.
I love that whole album!!!❤️
👏👏👏
This Ain't a Love Song ..gotta do that one.
Did you here It's My Life by Bon Jovi? ;] because it's completely different vibe! ;)

Please for Memorial Day do Trace Adkins with the West Point Glee Club live at the CMA’s “Till the last Shots Fired” you won’t regret

Try "She don't know me" and "Only lonely"..
Jesus man, back then it was about the music. We never cared about the meaning of the videos
Checkout Running away into you by John Frusciante. A banger from an amazing artist during a hard fase of his life.
I love that you requested a Fru song! He's so amazing! I love how he's willing to experiment and take risks because he's making music that he's inspired to make, not what others will like!
They never liked this video either. They didn’t understand what the director was thinking. Jon and Ritchie both said they never understood it.
Also the chick was some Polygram producer's daughter or so, and they didn't like the fact that hey made up the concept of the video just to stick her in
Final fantasy 15 is my favorite
More recently it was on Stranger Things
Yo what about that killer remix
Listen to Bon Jovi. Lost highway
On a scale of 1 to 10
How do you rate John Bon Jovi's *FIRST* song
Do some performances bad medicine performances live at london 1995 come on
Please react to born to be my baby bon jovi
Preachers daughter for you.
Bon jovi actually hated this video.
The majority of 80's videos are terrible.
Bowling for soup 1985 check it out
Good, debut song. Horrible video, though. The band hated it. Jon once said: "that video had nothing to do with us. It made us look like assholes".
From another early album, "7800 Degrees Fahrenheit", try "The Hardest Part is the Night" or "Only Lonely" (another hilarious video, but an excellent song)
Great song, terrible video
