these days or should it be those days

I guess our tastes differ, neither she nor her rack hit me as being awesome or droolworthy or whatever. On a related (chauvinist) note, Elisha Cuthbert, who's also in the HAND video, is dreamy. I remember a vote on the offspring.com forums for the hottest girl in an Offspring-videoclip. But I guess this board isn't adolescent enough to ensure a similar mass-participation.

Well, is anybody here any good at video-editing?

Let's not forget the awesome fat guy in the beginning. Totally 80s. Richie has a pretty shitty haircut, but his guitar and the uber-cheesy-boygroup-"BAD MEDICINE!"-scenes are funny enough to make up for that.

I thought they were a nice size. Not necessarily incredible, but the right proportion, I guess.

And mmm, Elisha.

Sam Kinison? Oh God.

There's a guy in the crowd at the beginning listening to Sam who is freaking hot. Soneday I will stop being disappointed when the beginning is the only time he's in the video.

Richie does this little side glance to the camera a la Nikki Sixx in Wild Side at some point and totally wins me over. And then I remember it's Richie and go look at his man tits.

What Was The Deal With Sam Kinison During The Nj Days? Cos He Used To Get Up On Stage With Them Didn't He. Don't Ask Me Why But The Guy Sticking His Lips Through A Picture Of Elvis At The Beginning Of Bad Medicine (nj Videos Version) Always Makes Me Smile. I Wonder What The King Would Actually Think Of The Jovi?

Agreed.

It's like an early 'Bon Jovi - The Movie'; priceless stuff.

Lol, I see this thread has strayed just a tad from its initial route so just for the record: yes, I definitely think that These Days belongs in the top three on a BJ album ranking list. It is my favourite, along with New Jersey and 'Fahrenheit'. I would love for the guys to surprise you American fans by playing something (anything) out of it on the final leg of the HAND tour... Always fun to read the reviews when there has been a bit of a surprise element to the show

NOW, as for those mid 80s pre-Slippery videos, I just spent a couple of hours recently rediscovering them on YouTube (I do so love my new computer, which is capable of finally showing me all this stuff!) Only Lonely was always the elusive one even back in the 80s -I probably didn't see it more than four or five times during the four years I was a real Bon Jovi-addict... Always made my day (and the couple after that ) when I managed to sit in front of the telly at the exact right time in order to see it, lol! (No video recorder in our household back then *sob*) To see it again, after all this time, was wonderfully nostalgic -Jon is still remarkably pretty in it and even with the gangster-plot, it's still an enjoyable video, heh. Even the girl doesn't annoy me in the least, the way the girl on Runaway (she is downright scary!) and She Don't Know Me (it's funny how adult she looks in comparison to Jon, heheh) do.

It was also a real treat to see the video (mostly "live") for Hardest Part Is the Night.

As for Bad Medicine, I can't recall any of the things you guys are talking about. It's back to YouTube to find out...!

A video-thread probably needs to be resurrected from the vaults of his forum, lol...

Sam Kinison was just friends with a lot of the rock crowd back then, from what I can tell. Jon and Richie were in his Wild Thing video.
