1. The best rock show on the planet.
2. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora are brilliant writers. They inspired me to write songs, which I do write alot like Jon.
3. Their music! Music like theirs touched my soul. At the time before Jovi, I was listening to rap, but then I heard Have A Nice Day and I was hooked. Then i heard Prayer, Bad Name, Its My Life, and I loved the stuff.

songs, charisma, live show and their tremenduous body of work throughout the years.
It really makes me proud to say Bon Jovi is my favorite band.

I love the music, there are always a few songs on each and every record that somehow end up meaning something to me or end up being a soundtrack to something in my life, they play some of the best live shows I have ever seen and over the years because of this band some of the closest and best friendships of my life have been formed.

Because they are the one and only band that I truly truly connect with. I cannot imagine my life without Bon Jovi in it. They make me feel like every song was written just for me. When I go to see them live no matter where i sit I feel like they are singing just to me. Because their songs say something, mean something, and are so much more meaningful than I can even attempt to describe. They have touched my soul.

The all request hour, the girl in the front row has just asked for Blood on Blood, ok, Merry Christmas young lady!" Amazing <3

Funny this comes up. Because I had a really, rally, REALLY bad week last week, and Jovi' got me through it.
I'm a fan because the songs move me. There are songs on every album that move me, that connect with me, that help me through the toughest times I've had. The fact that the music will never leave, or change. Because no matter what (I know this is corny, but frankly I don't give a shit) this band's music does make me feel like Someday I'll Be Saturday Night.

BTW, Thier ****ing awesome live show doesn't hurt.

For me it's their amazing catlogue of songs, its so vast and varied. I love all the classics and the new stuff.
They have the great party songs to sing along to with your friends (Prayer, IML, HAND etc), the awesome power ballads and love songs and real gems that really mean something and that I can relate to (Dry County, Something to believe in, the entire These Days album really). And I can't get enough of 'Wild Is The Wind' lately.

And all the stuff in between, the live performances, the acoustic versions, the huge amount of B-sides and unreleased stuff. Thanks to the wonders of the internet and YouTube we can access so much.

And finally, they are still going! They are still writing, performing and touring and they have been since before I was born. We still have more to look forward to people! That's amazing in itself.

Thats about the same thing with me. Whenever I get depressed, I just listen to Livin on a Prayer and my mood changes.
