In 1989 and because he felt like a Superman.

2. What is that weird sounding thing that Ritchie plays sometimes - like in It's My Life and LOAP? He blows into it and it makes funny sounds.
|
It's a talkbox and he doesn't blow in it. The tube brings the sound of the guitar amplifier into his mouth and he controls the sound by moving his lips and mouth. The sound is then picked up by a microphone and played to the audience.

3. The song Living In Sin is about a young couple who are having sex before they married...
|
It's about a young couple in love and their parents don't approve it. And the video you saw was the censored version.

4. Do Jon's beliefs clash with his faith at all, or is he more 'relaxed' than other religious folk may be?
|
From what I can see he's not a practicing catholic. He may be raised as one, but he doesn't flaunt it.

7. Silly question - but what was the very first song they ever released? My guess would be Runaway, seeing it was their first 'hit' song, but I'm not 100% sure.
|
First song released by the band was actually Love Lies, as the band doesn't play on Runaway. It's a bunch of studio musicians (like Hugh McDonald). But under the name Bon Jovi, it's the first song.

8. How do you say Jon's wife's name? Is it said the same as Dorothy, but with different spelling, or is it with 'ee-ah' on the end?
|
"ee-ah" at the end.

9. What kind of guitar does Ritchie prefer to play?
|
Many different ones. He's played Kramers, Les Pauls, Stratocasters etc. Nowadays he usually plays custom guitars built for him, or prototypes like the Floyd Rose guitar he played a while back.
