About Elivs
I recently saw an old Elvis show from 1972- to think that that was the high light of Rock'n'roll...it was an quite calm ahow- comparied to Bon Jovi rock shows...
but you couid definatly see things that probably inspired Jon
(this was the first tv show broadcasted via sattelite -reminda you of a certain band that does webcasts- and stuff?)

Don't worry, the western accent makes me laugh too. I cringe every time that I hear it. As I have said before, I am from Sayreville, NJ, and nobody I know speaks that way. 
As for Elvis, I don't know about calm. Watching his earlier shows I noticed that the fans were crazy.  I only wish I was around to see him perform live.  What a show it must have been!!! |
Mouse, I was lucky enough to see Elvis live twice before he died. Once in Vegas in 1974 and then again in 1976. It was one of the best shows. In '74 he was not overweight like he was in '76. I was lucky to have a mother who loved him and was cool enough to take her kids to see him.
As far as Jon's voice, yes, it is very unique. I haven't heard anyone else that sounds like him. His voice can be rough but yet can be so smooth too. As far as his accent and speaking sometimes, I do think it's funny that he tries to be a little "southern" When he says "ya'll" I always say to myself "do people in NJ say ya'll" LOL!!
I'm a southern girl now transplanted in NJ so I can appreciate the attempt at a southern accent.
