A minap láttam az In And Out of Love című Bon Jovi klipet a Quart.hu-n, és egyrészt megfájdult az oldalam a röhögéstől (azok a hajak!!! az a cicanadrág!!! XDDDD), másrészt viszont elárasztottak a nosztalgikus érzelmek boldogult ifjúkorom kedves bandája iránt. *_____*
A Bon Jovi kétségtelenül a haj- és seggrázós rockzene legcsinosabb képviselője volt, és a nagy riválissal, a Guns 'n' Roses-zal szemben kimondottan jófiús imidzset épített fel magának. Ma is aktív, bár az utóbbi tíz évben (úgy a Crush óta) csak trágya albumokat tudott összehozni. Addigi érdemei viszont vitathatatlanok.
Igazi, a legnemesebb értelemben vett kamaszzene a Bon Jovi. Nem a keserű, dühös, magányos kamaszé, mint mondjuk a Who, hanem a "normális" kamaszé, aki próbál helyt állni a világban, szerelmes, és hétvégén rockkoncertre szökik az ablakon át. Ebből a zenéből nem az árad, hogy "jaj ez a problémám meg az is meg amaz is", hanem az, hogy "ez a problémám, de tudom, hogy meg fogok vele birkózni". Csupa pozitív energia és életigenlés az egész - nesze neked mai emó divat.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (1992)
"Seven days of saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
Don't need no Mondays
Or the rest of the week
I spend a lot of time in bed
But baby I don't like to sleep no
I won't lie to you
I'm never gonna cry to you
I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week
Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead"

Egyszer valaki azt mondta nekem, hogy majd kinövöm a Bon Jovit, meg amúgy is milyen ciki. Most úgy gondolom, nem az a ciki, hogy még mindig hallgatom őket, hanem az, hogy ők nem nőtték ki saját magukat... valami útközben félresiklott, talán(?) a pénz van mögötte, nem tudom. De kár értük. :S
