Default Bon Jovi Influences In Songs
I know this has been posted before but i would like to make a big list of all the song influences in Bon Jovi's and even Rips Off... I Would like for you to collaborate if I miss any song: Here we go...

Bitter Wine: Wild Horses (Rolling Stones)
Standing : Dig In (Lenny Kravitz)
Joey : Levon (Eltohn John)
Two Story Town : One of Us (Joan Osbourne)
Captain Crash : Stay Young (Oasis)
Rosie : Hide Your Heart (Kiss)
You Give Love A Bad Name : If you Were A Woman (Bonnie Tyler)
Church Of Desire : Is This Love (Whitesnake)
Shut Up & Kiss Me : Proud Mary (CCR)
Simpathy : Seven Days (Bob Dylan)
August 7 : Rockin In The Free World (Neil Young)
Lucky : Drops Of Jupiter (Train)
Undivided : Hash Pipe (Weezer)

PD: I'm not meaning AUTO-RIPS OFF like It's My Life clones, The distance and Love me back to life... etc

Thank You!!

Translating the word "auto" suggests that it refers to cases in which the band ripped of their own work. Good list by the way.

Also: Runaway - Hold The Line (Toto)

Aerosmith Cryin' <---> Bon Jovi Hearts Breaking Even, though I don't know who ripped off who, but IMO Cryin' is better.

I would stick in Crazy there too. Crazy sounds to me more like Hearts breaking even, and Crazy is a rip of of Cryin anyway, i always used to get the two mixed up - theyr even on the same album next to each other!

And i think 'Get a grip' was before These Days so yeah its a rip off. And i know for a fact that Crazy is one of Richies personal fav songs/vids as i saw him talking about it on Vh1 and select it as his choice to play.

These Days (the guitar work at least) is quite bluesy and hence quite Joe Perry-ish anway.

Though its hard as there is the common ground between the two groups with Desmond Child etc. 'Angel' could have so easily been a Bon Jovi ballad for example.

I would also add;

The Distance - Creed 'Higher'
Fear and We Got it goin on - Songs arent similar but both the riffs reminds me of 'Enter Sandman'

I think "rip offs" is a bit harsh ... I'd say just songs with similarities. For example, Undivided and Hash Pipe have very similar riffs, but I doubt it was intentional

Although, I do dislike Heaven Is A Place On Earth for exactly that reason, so perhaps I'm just a rose tinted spectacle wearing hypocrite?

Anyways, that's just semantics. The Distance sounds rather like Creed's "My Sacrifice", and I Want You sounds a lot like Angel by Aerosmith
