I first heard of Bon Jovi when Crossroads was released. And the only song i knew was Always, (i was in grade school). My neighbour always liked Bon Jovi and i didnt think much of them. I didnt know much either. It's My Life got me really going then i heard Bad Name and Bad Medicine and said "Bon Jovi sings those? I like those songs" The more i listened to the more i started to appriciate the band. I did all by studying when i went to the show on the One Wild Night tour and i have been a diehard ever since. Becky: You ask if we prefer old or new music? sometimes i have a hard time associating Older videos such as Wanted or Bad name with Bon Jovi like i do Misunderstood. Its really different when you think about it. I prefer this "new era" of Bon jovi (Crush, Bounce,) But more importantly i really enjoy LIVE Bon Jovi more now than older stuff. Some of the older Live stuff does not sound good at all.
