The Real Jon Bon Jovi

first off, you're wrong. second, if you don't agree with anything i postesd, don't post back.

I've never really 'met' Jon, only seen him outside a hotel and gotten his autograph - he was not in the mood to talk, so I just handed him my albumcover and pen (with the cap off ), he signed it and walked to his car.
But I've definately heard more good stories than bad ones about him. I would personally hate to be famous and be chased around for an autograph, so if it bothers him from time to time, I totally understand - but if he was rude to my face, I would tell him to shove his bad mood up where the sun never shines and get off his high horse - he is rich and famous partly because someone like me buys his albums

this entire thread is insane.

I'm only allowed to post if I agree with you?

This is called "General BJ Discussion"... discuss not agree or ignore
You need to find some arguments if you want to play that game.

At least Jon doesn't make you pay him money for his autograph!

Why who does that!!!??

That's an ass.

A lot of sports players do, especially baseball players. I have heard of some celebrities doing it too, but can't remember who they are. Will need too google that one

There are alot too that refuse to sign any autographs, so even though Jon might have a bad day, we are pretty lucky that he still even bothers to sign anything.

^^Tis true.
Re: Jon and his swearing about the cap being on...not one thing...who he is, what he does..nothing excuses that response from him. He has bad days...he's human and it happens to everyone. However, swearing like that at a fan has no excuse. If it had been me, I would have quickly retrieved the offending marker from his hand and said, 'oh...sorry...I thought I was handing it to Richie'

"If it had been me, I would have quickly retrieved the offending marker from his hand and said, 'oh...sorry...I thought I was handing it to Richie'"

Haha! That made me laugh.

Can you language police please take that to NBJ...
So true. I was actually looking forward to reading proper replies to this topic, and couldn't care less if some people thought that the post was hard to read or not. If you don't like it, fine, but don't ruin a perfectly good thread for discussion for the rest of us. (I'm a professional in the English language and poor use of language really annoys me but this is a message board ffs, not an English lesson).

On to the more interesting of the two topics in this thread.

I feel like that too, I've met some of my idols who have been fantastic to meet and I could tell that they also enjoyed the conversation, but I know from the mixture of stories I've heard that it's always a touch-and-go with Jon. I'd actually rather meet Richie, as from the stories I've heard he's always up for a laugh.

Jon definitely didn't want to sing ("to be honest I can't think of anything worse"), I think the thought of stepping into a crowd like that made him uncomfortable. I think he was on a good mood though during the Q&A, even though he was obviously in a hurry to go (if I remember correctly, to have dinner with Claudia Schiffer or similar).

I saw Jon earlier that day, and whilst he wasn't rude to me he wasn't particularly warm either. He did come over and sign an autograph for me, I said something stupid like "looking forward to tonight" or something intelligent along those lines, and he flashed a smile (not The Smile, but a "professional" one). I wasn't disappointed but not over the moon either.

I had a huge revelation though that day - Jon The Man is not actually that good looking, and he doesn't have that much charisma, but Jon The Singer definitely has! I've never had the urge to meet him, and now even less - he's my idol up on the stage, not necessarily on the street.

Classic!!! This is one of those comments that you think to yourself once the moment has passed, and kick yourself for not thinking it straight away.
