First Song That Really Got You Hooked?

Are you a new fan?! I always figured you were a fan like since like the Slippery/New Jersey era.

My brother was listening to Keep The Faith and I got hooked on it. After that Everyday was when I started becoming serious.

Yep. Coming up on the first anniversary of my first album purchase! LOL God knows I'm old enough to have been a fan all along, but I wasn't. I need a time machine so that I can go back and do this right!

It seems like I'm always telling/typing this story, LOL. So, without going into it all. ALWAYS. I heard it when I was...6,7 and I totally fell in love with it. I couldn't get enough...I was such a cool kid, huh. That song has a lot of memories with it for me. Some good, some not so good. My first memory of it/Bon Jovi is some vet was in the house, and putting our doggy down And he was taking him out in a bin bag (no word of lie, a ****ing bin bag!!), and me and my brother and sister...we were kneeling on the sofa, watching out the window crying and Always was on the radio or something. And then I heard it in the car on the radio, I think it must have been out around then, cause it was played A LOT. And I remember it being my favourite song at such a young age. And it's still one of my very favourites, ever. After hearing Always, I heart some of their other songs from my sister/radio...mostly from These Days.

But after a while I lost interest in them, being all young and stuff. I went through the pop/boy band thang. But then I rediscoverd them again at around 12. It was watching something on VH1 about them, I just rememberd that I used to really like them, and yeah yeah, I admit it, fell in love with Jon's looks too...and then decided to go out and get Crossroad. The rest is history. Ain't that cute.

That was NOT a coincidence! Long live the Garden State and the two best bands in the world.

No specific song for me. Two worn-out tapes of Fahrenheit and Slippery got me hooked around 1990.

It's My Life. Can still remember seeing the video for the first time and loving the tune. I assumed they were a new band, then my dad lent me Crossroad. The rest, as they say - is history.

Me well wayyyy back in 86 I remember hearing bad name and prayer.

Then i got SWW and heard wanted - I was hook, line and sinkered as they say.

Livin On A Prayer

It's My Life, You Give Love A Bad Name & Wanted, in that order. Took me three songs to make me go, "wow this band's really kickass... I better see what else they got...". And then I got everything, and I keep getting everything and tickets, lol.

And the rest, as they say, is history!

Sorry, I didn't say that in my post and I didn't wanan feel left out
