I do remember some of them more clearly than others.

My first Bon Jovi encounter was in 1992 and I was twelve years old. I was at my older brothers apartment for the day and he had bought this new cd called "Keep The Faith". He said it was really good so I popped it into the cd-player and hit 'play'. After one minute listening I was hooked, for life! I guess that's also why the song "I Believe" is one of my all time favourites, it was the first Bon Jovi song I listened to!

This was in November 1992 and on Christmas Eve the following month I got the albums "Keep The Faith" and "Bon Jovi" by my parents. So when I got home, it was all listen listen listen!

My next CD was "New Jersey" and I bought that one the following spring, in 1993. I was in town with a friend of mine when buying it and I remember liking it very much when playing it at home the same afternoon.

After that I bought Fahrenheit and Slippery the same year and the year after Crossroad came out. Then I also heard the news about them playing in Sweden in 1995, so that ended up being the first time seeing them live!
Also, when I bought TD in june 1995 I remember standing outside the record shop the day of the album release. But I was so dissapointed when I came inside, they still hadn't recieved the album. But it did come in later that day so all was well!

After that came the soloalbums (especially remember DA that I bought while on vacation in south of Sweden) and then after a long hiatus the awaited Crush!

So that's my story, quite short but informative..
