Bon Jovi and Rihanna - Getty Images Ahead of performing at the MTV Europe Music Awards tonight (November 7) in Madrid, Rihanna made a special appearance at a secret Bon Jovi EMA pre-show concert. As the rockers performed their classic, "Livin' On A Prayer," a red-haired Rihanna popped out during the chorus wearing a flowing sheer skirt, before taking over the second verse by her lonesome. Jon and RiRi had great chemistry as they got up close and personal during the performance. And Rihanna looked like [...]
This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing [...]
"To truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts" ---Sapphire ( Almost Famous ) Bon Jovi - "Bad Medicine"
He was sitting with his mother and then he let this loose on us. What a guy.
Let us now praise Mr. Ray Davies , founder and chief songwriter of the legendary Kinks, distinguished solo artist, general pop music icon -- and now willing participant in the famed "guest star tribute album" with the release of See My Friends November 7 in the U.K. and March 22 in the U.S. Corralling an impressive and diverse list of admirers including Bruce Springsteen , Bon Jovi , Mumford and Sons, Metallica , Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, Snow Patrol-man Gary Lightbody and Spoon, Davies revisits fourteen classic Davies/Kinks classics including [...]
Como sabéis, Bon Jovi recibirá el premio MTV de "Icono Global" en la próxima gala de los EMA , que se celebrará en Madrid el 7 de noviembre. A propósito de ese nombramiento especial, la banda decidió programar un concierto especial el 6 de noviembre en el Circo Price de Madrid. Pues bien, según anuncia Europa Press , las entradas de la actuación se agotaron ayer en poco más de 20 minutos . Y eso que su precio estaba entre los 50 y 80 € ($70-110), claro que el aforo de [...]
Dopo una lunghissima assenza che dura ormai da più di sette anni, i Bon Jovi torneranno ad esibirsi in Italia nell'unica data del 17 luglio 2011 allo Stadio Friuli di Udine. Le prevendite partiranno da giovedì 4 Novembre su Ticketone. La band di Jon Bon Jovi sta per uscire sul mercato con un ricchissimo Greatest Hits, e presto mostrerà il "Bon Jovi - The Circle Tour", video-testimonianza dei 4 concerti tenuti lo scorso maggio in occasione dell'inaugurazione del nuovo Meadowsland Stadium in New Jersey, con più di 200.000 fan totali. Ricordiamo che [...]
Photography by DarkMagoo ... Can you imagine that there was ever I time that I 'defended' Bon Jovi over Metallica in the schoolyard? So what that I was only 11 when I did that. I must been've stoned out of my fucking skull trying to convince people that those poodle haired assfaces were anywhere near the acknowledged kings of thrash metal. Anyway, that time has long gone since. What hasn't gone though is my undying love for the crappy music genre that's called Hair Metal ! It's not that I play this [...]
Bon Jovi - It's My Life "I Ain't Gonna Live Forever" Over and over again, I hear this song, but I love it!!! He seems ageless for some reason. I love this picture though, had to post it. I was reminded of this song because my friend started singing "It's My Life" by No Doubt after something that was said on How I Met Your Mother (which reminds me I have to catch up...) , and didn't even know this song??? What the heck? Anyways, everyone should hear it once, and Bon Jovi, ROCK [...]
The fourth studio album from the hit country duo, Sugarland is released October 19 on Mercury Records.
Get ready to…not fist-pump. Fist-bob, maybe.
If you've ever dreamed of owning that creepy celebrity doll lookalike of Michael Jackson or even Farrah Fawcett , then we've got exactly what you're looking for! And if you wondered what could be better than memorializing the King Of Pop with a handmade creation such as this, never fear, there's also Bella Swan and Edward Cullen dolls. [...]
At the Accept show I went to last week, I had a pretty funny moment with the boy when I said that it sounded like they were singing "We are nice" instead of "Neon nights." Which got me thinking: I mishear lyrics a lot. It could be because I'm deaf, or people just don't enunciate, [...]
Okay, let's imagine you're at a party on the beach, and as you're packing a fourth slice of pizza into your face, you overhear someone state unequivocally that Bon Jovi and The Beastie Boys are more important than Rush. You'd grimace, but, hey, sales are sales and impact is debatable. It's a party; be nice. [...]
Man, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is having a rough month. First, his arch-frenemy Steven Tyler finalized a spot on that TV show about pre-failures caterwauling hit songs while nervous. And this follows still know-it-all beardo John Kalodner's description of Perry as "completely wrong," "jealous," and "ultra-pissed off," which supposes that Perry hoped that the AI [...]
It's that time of year again. Yes, the time when we're all reminded what rock and roll legacies are about: Jann Wenner's sad attempt to co-opt the careers of some deserving (and plenty of undeserving) bands to make a few bucks at their expense. And with that, the 2011 nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have been announced. Some deserving - though unlikely in some cases - picks included Tom Waits , Alice Cooper , Donovan and those lovable Beastie Boys (yes they're rap, but they had [...]
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees were announced today. The first-time nominees include Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, Tom Waits, Neil Diamond and Donovan. Who should have been nominated? Who should already be inducted into the Hall of Fame? Let us know!
Who cares? They can induct anybody but Bon Jovi. Come on. Jovi just sucks.
Since 1986, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has been inducting those who have made an impression on the evermore detailed map of pop and rock music. And yeah, the ceremony it might be a little chintzy, and some may consider the whole think a giant joke, and the whole argument of contemporary relevance is all but hurled out the the window, and the fact that ABBA is in there and Brian Eno isn't is enough to set yourself on fire - but it beats the living hell out of any other televised American music awards show, and usually the ceremony ekes some gnarly [...]
