bon jovi definitely made rock anthems.. like lay ur hands on me, bad medicine, i'll be there for you, always, bed of roses, u give love a bad name, wanted dead or alive.. there's too many too mention
to say that bon jovi sucks is not logical.. because 1st, each member is talented enough.. tico "the hitman" torres is a pearl endorser, sambora is a fender endorser & i don't think fender would get him a sig he doesnt have the skills.. & unlike the bands now w/c many would only know the vocalist, i actually know the names of each members (just like GnR & MrBig.. bands b4 had actually talent u'd know each of the members' names), david bryan, alec john such, tico torres, ritchie sambora & bon jovi.. & one big difference between a good band from a bad one is that a good band knows how to play live.. & bon jovi actually plays great live, check out live in london (just like DT, steve vai), their real talent really shines when playing live..
ritchie is an underated guitarist.. he definitely knows how to fit his solos.. i love that dry county long solo(kinda like aerosmith's "amazing").. i could only play one bon jovi song (wanted dead or alive..hehe, including the solo - lots of pinch harmonics there btw,hehe) but i'm proud of it..
