Bon Jovi. I’m sat in a metal bar, chillaxing with a giggly Prosecco, they’re playing it loud and it absolutely rocks

FFS. So Cruel, obviously.

Bon Jovi is a band aimed squarely at 11 year old boys and/or adults who just don't like music, or whose musical tastes have for some reason become permanently retarded at 11. They're almost as bad as Metallica, though at least they don't take themselves so uberseriously the way Metallica do. Did I mention I can't stand Metallica?

"There's nothing wrong with U2. As far as I'm concerned, I've stolen from Larry Mullen's career for years. Without Larry, I wouldn't be able to stomp and sing, it'd be difficult. I mean I owe debts to the Bhundu Boys, Larry Mullen, Stewart Copeland. They're good players, and they're great songwriters" - Gary "Reni" Wren, drummer, The Stone Roses reunion press conference, 18/10/2011

"I'd just like to put on record that that's bobbins" - Ian Brown, singer, ditto

I can’t stand Metallica, either. I was just using them as an example of a band who truly put on a 360 show, unlike U2 who put on a 270 or less show (AKA 360).

Whatevas. Bon Jovi rock in the same way Bryan Adams ‘Reckless’ LP rocks.

Didn't take long for Larry to pollute a thread that has nothing to do with the 360 Tour with more 360 vs 270 nonsense.

Well done!

Actually, it was WTTW that started the 270 (AKA 360) chat by taking about Metallica

True story.

Last September I’m in Nashville for a work conference. One night I’m walking down Broadway (the Main Street of bars) and I walk by a bar owned by Bon Jovi. This lady who works there tells me to come in, Bon Jovi will actually be there and playing shortly. I gave it about 2 seconds thought and told her I’m good, and kept on walking. He has a few decent songs, but I could have seen him play a bar for free and I didn’t give a shit. Maybe if they were offering free Heineken I would have stopped.

So Cruel for the win.

Never like Bon Jovi. Always thought he was 80's hair cheese for women.

Van heYlen did attract the females, but early VH was a lot more rock n roll then Bon Jovi and VH were the biggest band in North America in the early 80’s for high school boys.

His Metallica comment had nothing whatsoever to do with your unhealthy obsession with the 360 Tour.   You were the one - as usual - who introduced that topic to the thread.

Of course it did. Why introduce a band who have zero to do with Bon Jovi otherwise?

Epic fail, SD.

Was never a VH fan either but they were true rock stars.
