My older brother was a fan. I was hooked after hearing YGLABN.

They quickly became "my" band to the point of obsession.

I'd sit up watching the Super Bowl simply because JBJ was interviewed at a previous game. (Which in the UK might be 2am)

Or I'd tape the BJ weekend on MTV & watch it every evening, often falling asleep with it on.

Weekly scour of magazines for Jovi references & put them in a scrapbook.

(Bare in mind the Internet didn't exist at this point - you had no quick BJ fix like you do nowadays)

I took German as a language and one of our assignments was to pick a person to speak about for a few minutes. While most people chose their mum or dad, or siblings, I chose Jon Bon Jovi. I gave a 2-3 minute talk, in German, in front of my classmates. And honestly felt no embarrassment!!

I suppose all of us here (at some point) consider(ed) them to be "my" band.
