Default Jon story from early in his career

http://www.metalsludge.tv/home/index...=235&Itemid=52

20 Questions with Corky Gunn:

Jon Bon Jovi = 7 (You have to really admire where he came from and what he made himself into. Has really gotten better and better as a singer, and knows how to control his voice. First time I met him I didn’t even know who he was. Me and Bruno Ravel were backstage at Motley, on the Shout tour when they were opening for Ozzy. Bruno says, “Hey, it’s that Bon Jovi dude!” I was like, “who?” BonJovi had just signed to Doc McGhee for management and was hanging around on the Motley tour to learn a few things. He was very quiet and just watched EVERYTHING. He was learning not so much what to do, but what NOT to do. So I didn’t know who he was. Bruno went up to him and I took a picture. I was like, “Forget this geek, lets party with Motley!” Bruno knew who he was before he had ANYTHING going on. We went up to Bon Jovis room to have a drink, and then Nikki and Tommy started beating on the door. Screaming that they wanted to see if Bon Jovi had any chicks in there! No, just me and Bruno! So he opened the door, they saw it was me and Bruno (the party maniacs) and we went with Nikki and Tommy to do more krell. Bon Jovi stayed behind and continued taking notes!)

You know - some lucky bastards get it all; looks, musicianship, a head for business etc. When you run into someone such as that don't question it - just enjoy it.

At the mo' he's both, when he's working on the soul team he's just a bussiness man. Who knows really, the dude can be both if he wanted to just as long as he doesn't loose any authenticity on either side.

hahahahha...that's an awesome story! thanks for that!
But the fact that a singer says that "he gotten better and better as a singer" makes me question his credibility. That's really funny!

And beside, what the hell notes was he taking:

Lesson 1:
Make up is good

Lesson 2:
Don't drink too much alcohol cause you are going to puke

Lesson 3:
Don't forget to plug in the guitar or you might end up like Mick Mars
