Yes, I agree.
Someone who appreciates their vision and artistic talent. And who really still enjoys their music. In today's economy, it's not about how many concerts you attend or how many t-shirts or stuff you have.

I am considering myself a die hard Led Zeppelin fan right now and I have never seen them live. LOL! I am really loving their classic music. And, the new cd Robert Plant did with Allison Kraus, too.

All the below:

- Someone who owns all the albums and them some.

- Someone who could appreciate all the songs, good and bad.

- Someone who knows EVERY song, including all covers. And knows them by album and year

- Someone who makes every attempt to see them live each tour.

- Someone who loves them because of the first 4 albums.

- Someone who could tell the year by Jon's hair style.

- Someone who has enough knowledge to make a Bon Jovi Trivia Pursuit game.

- Someone who thinks that "She Don't Know Me" is a great song even though Jon didn't write it.

You hit on one of my peeves, do you know how many Jovi's or Samboras there are on Twitter and FB? Thats pathetic. I don't mean the "jovifan" type of post, but the actually making their name a famous surname or Mrs. fill in the blank. Blaze, for the dog is kinda cool. My dog is Anastasia - I'm also a disney junkie. But it's the Dog!

Well, I guess then I'm not a diehard. I usually give BJ's songs more chances if I don't like them on first listen than I do with any other artist but if I think it's shit then it's that way and it could happen that I don't appreciate some things then (like about half of WAN).
And I hate She Don't Know Me

You're a Bon Jovi diehard if Tico is your favourite band member

I hope you are not defining yourself there pal, and if you are I hope you're 17 or something.

All reasons I am very happy about not being a die-hard. One, maybe two of those together is great. All of them? Well I know some things it does make you.

I used to think like that, that I need to own everything. I was about 19 at the time. I grew up and sold every physical thing I have of Bon Jovi. I tell a lie, in my wardrobe now is the box set (but only three discs of it) that is now my Bon Jovi collection. I love the music (some of it) nothing more and nothing less, and if we break it down to what it is, no-one does any more than loving the music.

Everything you just stated is the opposite of a Die-Hard. Just because one loves the music, doesn't make them a die-hard. It's more than that. I love a lot of music but I would never say I'm a die-hard unless I could check off everything stated above, less the hair thing.

Yep, I suspected as much. Good for you sport, I am happy to be excluded from that club anyway.

What a bizzare ****ing list. I can't imagine if you're as serious about this as you seem to be about your signature which just makes me snort in sheer amusement every time I see it.
