Jon is living proof that hard work & commitment still exists in this world today!!! Thank you for sharing your life with us and reminding us that it is okay to be ourselves!!! 👏👏👏

What a great interview! Love how passionate he is about everything and shares it with all of us❤

Jon is wonderful human being. His lyrics are so powerful.

Absolutely love this album. It’s their poppiest, but it feels fresh and it feels like a band that’s free and happy. Quite a few songs on here that’ll go into my favourites list

Interesting to hear him talk about song titles. I remember so long ago during the New Jersey cut, him talking about Blood on Blood and saying 'as soon as I heard the title, I knew what this song was going to sound like' and it seems he still does that today. I love his songwriting method. He is still a little too self-congratulatory to me but I dunno - maybe he deserves it. I'll give the album a go. Haven't really liked his music since Have a Nice Day but have wonderful memories of their first 20yrs...

Love the Kiss reference!

The Dorothea bit touched me. Much love!

Thanks for a brilliant, insightful interview Jon & Mark. I'ts an album that needs to be listened to again & again. The cherry on the cake will be hearing them live - Let's hope it's sometime soon.

Thanks for the interview Planet Rock. Along with Kerrang's review I am taking into consideration your views to actually listen to this Bon Jovi album in its entirety.

What an amazing interview on both sides! Really enjoyed all4he back story of this new album. Jon is such an honest, real, NJ guy at heart. He and Dorothea are angels on earth for all that they do to help those in need in such a caring, gumane and dignified way. Love his music but love his heart even more. 💘🤗🫶 Congrats to the band on rhe new album! 💃🎸🍾🥂🎆👏💘🤗🍷🥳🎉

What a brilliant interview ! And a great insight into the new album... Legendary🤘

What a fantastic interview! Thank you!!!!

Well done to Mark and the Planet Rock radio station. I enjoy watching your interviews with Jon (and also with Tico and Dave) because they come across so honest and eye-to-eye, modest and in-depth. There's a mutual respect for each other. You're asking interesting questions, and you don't throw around with big words and overpour with praise and seemingly fake admiration and bore with the same old quesions like most American radio stations and hosts do. Mark gives personal answers and insights as a feedback. It looks like Jon and Mark are equally relaxed and comfortable with each other, a mutual eye-to-eye. Well done!

This stuff is gold. Loved the interview with David and Tico. Love the song insights straight from the principle songwriter. 🙏

Great interview!! I must say I was shocked to hear about Jon's first guitar - a Univox strat copy in sunburst finish, for that exact guitar was also MY first guitar!! 😮😄 I purchased it during the early 1970's, possibly '74, at an obscure little music shop at Main Street Flushing, Queens, NY. I don't remember what happened to it, nor my CRATE amp, but I sure wish I could have them back, purely for nostalgia. I'm going to do a search to see if Jon posted a photo with his new-found guitar. I'd love to see that! 🎸🔥

Great interview and I love the track by track comments regarding the songwriting process, thoughts, themes. Thank you so much, for a BJ fan this is gold.

great interview thnk u

I love this album I,m proud of jbj it is good and his band

"The New Kid" lol. Great compliment...

Great interview

It's a beautiful album. Doesn't feel like it's trying to be anything other than genuine, which I haven't been able to say I've felt about a Bon Jovi album since probably These Days.... Themes of retrospective, celebration of the legacy and gratitude. It feels like he was making an album as if it might be his last.

Great interview! We planning a trip to New York this year and for sure i hope the BJ store is opened yet at the time we arrived. Ower first time in de States so exited. Been a fan for almost my whole life, will see what comes on the way when we are there🙏🏽

I love this album. I like your Story about making the songs. It must have been a difficult but exciting challenge. It worked wonderfully. I am grateful to!❤

Gre at interview

He’s just such a cool dude!

I think the girl that covered your song bed of roses on idol this season recently did a great job

JONBONJOVIS TU VEUS VOIR COMMET JE S EST AVEC J AIS CONPRIS ESSEYER TU MA FOUTUS A LA DECHETERIS JE VIENS PAS JE RESTE CHEZ MOI TROUVE UNE AUTRE POIRE MERCI DAVOIR ESSYER ,JANIS

These are my ranking of the songs from the album: 1. Livin' Proof - BJ classic sound, love this one. 2. Hollow Man - Very good, Bob Dylan influenced song and countrish vibe, great lyrics, love this one too 3. Living in Paradise - If something represents joyful record as Jon stated then IMO this song does, a very good song, upbeat and happy, keeps your attention, especially nice chord progression on chorus part. 4. Waves - Not sure, a little bit strange crossover from verse to chorus, but it's cool song overall 5. Legendary - It can pass, but not with this whoa whoa whoa, guitar melody and solo is missing IMO, it would be a great song if it has proper solo and guitar melody instead of whoa whoa… 6. Kiss the bride - Very deep and intimate ballad, it's a good song but more of a gift from a father to a daughter then classic BJ ballad 7. Seeds - Sounds like Coldplay meets BJ, not actually to my liking but rhythm change and strings actually are very good, interesting song 8. The people's house - People are saying it's close to Keep the faith because of a bass line, I would say it's closer to Keep the fsith and a version of Misunderstood but somehow it drags the melody but really it's neither happy or sad, it just floats and really goes nowhere, perhaps if songs is faster it would be different feeling 9. Walls of Jericho - Don't like this Bruce Springsteen sound in BJ, never did, the only one I can listen to with such influence is Blood on blood but song itself is good, it can pass 10. We made it look easy - Again, way too pop for my taste, not sure about this one 11. I wrote you a song - Not sure what to say, not driving me at all 12. My first guitar - The least favorite song on album, I don't like the chorus at all, there's something very strange the way he is singing it, it just don’t fit, sound like he is craving about his old guitar way too much. :) Anyways, very good album, 7/10, sort of LH meets The Circle, better then WAN, THINFS(except for the title song) and 2020…

I showed my girlfriend the song my first guitar she thought was he a 16 year old writing that song 😂😂😂 how anyone can say this album was good seems people are not remembering the Jovi who brought us songs like dry county

Oh yeah some other band called Metallica played in Russia on that bill as well.

His touring days are over. maybe a show here and there... but even his speaking voice is rough.

sorry but it's the same old stuff he's been doing for the last 10 or 15 years, nothing special and not good enough for me to listen to or get excited about.

John is the opposite of the Van Halen’s. Great person who keeps putting out mediocre music vs. weird people who never put out music. Truth is time moved on and their time is past.

I want Europe band-Joey in Planet Rock, not Bon Jovi, because they a not a rock band Since 1992. Europe in the last 20 yers is the one of the best band in the world. They play live and real set. I'boring to watch everyware Bon Jovi because they is more pop comersial, i dont.

When is Jon going to explain why he sent out thousands of FAKE AUTOGRAPHS to fans that paid for signed CDs from the BON JOVI website? What kind of person screws their own fanbase because they're too lazy to sign what they promised in order to get a better chart position for their new album? Gina works the diner all day. She can't afford to be ripped off by JBJ.

Track by track, bland and blander. Youd think a man with a voice that needs to heal would stop talking about himself for five minutes.

Sounds better by age I saw em 2009 at man city ground also.2011 brilliant hope they tour next year cos he's had this throat op

If they do I be going again
