Default How Did You Become A Bon Jovi Fan????

I'd like to know, how and when did you become a Bon Jovi fan!!!!!!!!
Maybe you can tell us a little story????

About me: I watched TV, and saw a film (a film that I liked) and suddenly I heard in the background some beautiful music. It was: "this romeo is bleeding..........". And I loved this song from the first moment on: ! But I didn't know from whom it was!! And some time later I saw in TV the video clip!! (of Always) And I was so happy, because now I knew who sang this beautiful song!!!! I recorded the clip and watched it very very often! And then I went to a shop and wanted to bye a CD. So I bought Crossroad, and I loved it also very much, the whole CD. And so it went on, I bought another BJ- CD, and another and liked them all!!!! And I went to a concert, and to another one.... and they were great!! And this is how I became a fan!!

So you see, I'm not a fan for a very long time! Since 1998, I think!!! But now I'm still a fan, and I hope it wil go on forever!!!!!

In 1986, I didn't know the words to "Bad Name" and my two best friends teased me about it. I listened to the radio all weekend one weekend to catch the song and when I heard it I loved it. Needless to say, those two friends think they created a monster and eventually came to regret ever teasing me for not knowing that song.

My friend introduced me to the music with a casette of Keep the faith! She used to have her walls covered with posters of Jon in the early 90s. But now times have changed and I'm the fan and she isn't anymore...

I think it was in 1989, when I've heard "I'll be there for you". I loved it so much, that I bought the vynil of "New Jersey" at once. And it rocked. So I became fan imediatly.
NJ is still one of my favourite BJ albums (together with KTF) and I still have that vynil recording in my collection.

Actually everything started out in one of my bandīs rehearsals in 1999. I started to sing a song Iīd written and one of the guitar players said something like: "Hey... do that again, it sounds very much like Bon Jovi."

At that time I thought Bon Jovi was "Ugly", "Janie Donīt Take Your Love To Town" and "Always"

But then I found the Fahrenheit record one day and bought it. I just loved that. I asked myself if that was the same Bon Jovi I think I knew. Then I bought Keep The Faith which is my fav album and it touched me deeply

By that time I was already a BJ admirer, but then I bought Crossroads and became a huge fan. These Days, Crush and OWN were next and now here I am ready for Bounce

at first i HATED bon jovi from my deepest inside... but a friend of mine tortured me at parties with them- actually we had a lot of fun with him turning the music on- i'd switch it off within two seconds then they wouldn't let me come near the stereo again and i had obviously lost... then they always played prayer and i hated the beginning (with the ice cubes falling into the glass)- so it went on and when i heard lay your hands i "liked" it (<-- should mean it didn't drive me nuts)- then after ten parties i really started liking this song and a few others- and after ten more i decided to buy their new album thence (these days)- i heard hey god...not bad... i heard sth for the pain and that was it- since then i'm a bj fan

I became a fan in 1992 when I first heard KTF. I loved it immidately.
But the funny thing is, that back in 1986 I LOVED Raise your hands (then I didn't know that it was from BJ), and after I became a fan in 1992 I bought SWW....I heard Raise your hands and thought "I know this song from somewhere, yes, it's this song I used to hear back in 1986...omg, it's BJ!" Since then I'm a die-hard fan.

Interesting story here...

I was digging through casette tapes that were piled up in my family's entertainment center. This was back in, I guess 1993

Well, I stumbled upon a copy of "Keep The Faith." I asked who's it was, and my mother said it was hers. She let me listen to it and I liked it.

However, after a few weeks of listening to it, my mom told me she wanted it back so she could listen. From there on, I completely forgot about it. Then...

It wasn't until 1997 when I found a copy of "These Days" that belonged to my mother as well, that I became a "true" fan. I wore that tape out!

So thanks to my "hard-rockin mama" for turning me into a Jovi Fan! I love you ma!!!

Take Care,
Norm
