Omg, when I was a teenager, this song was EVERYTHING!!!!! We were all obsessed with Jon Bon Jovi.

I love watching unsuspecting youth become head bangers.

80"s kids everywhere are loving this reaction!

The singer's name is John Francis Bongiovi Jr. So, the group name is a version of his first and last name. He's also been married to the same woman since 1989. That's almost unheard of in the world of rock and roll

"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got." Might as well be the life anthem of all 80s kids.

Love this kid! And that he’s so open to listening to the music of the generations before him. I reacted the same way to Bob Jovi when I saw them on MTV in the 1980s as a kid. This made my day thanks JoJo!

You wanna hear his pipes, you need to check him out live. Dang. That guy can sing. Bon Jovi was so big in the 80s, to be honest, I didn't appreciate the raw talent until many years later. I usually would change the station whenever they came on. I'm glad ive grown to give them a chance because they have truly earned their place as rock legends.

This was an absolute monster hit for them.

I like how he took the real life story of him and his highschool sweetie (still his wife😳❤) and turned it into a story/song that went to #1 on the charts!!

Nothing like seeing somebody genuinely enjoy music, great reaction. And I agree with you about how they built the song up really well.

Love to see an young person appreciating music from the 80s. You so got into the song the way we used to.

Livin' on a prayer was a massive world wide hit and so was The Final Countdown from a band called Europe, check it out one day.

Listen to “It’s My Life” which is their comeback hit, years later.

This song blew America away in the 80's. 80's kids know. It was our song.

Bed of Roses showcases his voice amazingly. And great bars in the chorus

"I can't even pause it." Hah!

The lyrics are about a young couple who had big dreams. Tommy wanted to play guitar in a band. He works on the dock, she works as a waitress. They have bills coming in they can't pay. They don't know if they are going to achieve their dreams but they have each other.

Richie is using a sound box that can 'send his voice' through the guitar, making that very cool effect.

It was an amazing song when it hit the airwaves in the 80s. The energy this song produces is just incredible!

The 80s was EVERYTHING!!

Jojo makes me smile reacting to my youth, lol. 🥰

'It doesn't end!' A good prayer never ends :) It's conencted to the power source forever

This is a great song from the 1980's Jon Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi

"The Ballad of Tommy and Gina." 💖💖💖💖💖 You were asking what's he talking about in the second verse. Tommy had to pawn his guitar and now he's holding in all that musical expression because he doesn't have his guitar. "Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk so tough."

One of my favorite 80's song's. I'm a born in the 70's grew up in the 80's girl. At work half way through the shift this is my song reminding me " I'm half way there ".🤭

do "Born To Be My Baby". It came out two years later and It's a sort of sequel of Livin' On a Prayer. Hugely less famous but still a banger!

Wow I was 16 year's old not a care in the world when this song came out. I'm 54 now. Time really flies. Love this song.

Motley Cue “Home Sweet Home” another great 80s rock song

It's amazing how many times I've listened to this song and I never get sick of it. I mouth the words and bob my head just as hard as the first time I heard it!

You have great taste in music son, keep on going!

Your reaction was adorable. lol This song is ageless.

"The Mike Tyson of rock".. I love that reference and the fact that you are able to find a genuine interest in 80s rock. Or at least give it a chance. Your reaction videos are great. Keep rockin & hope to see you shreddin your axe on here one day!!👍🏻

They are so awesome!!! Just makes me smile to see an 18year old enjoying. I did too when I was 15 and now 45. My only tat is Bon Jovi. Great album.

I have seen Bon Jovi live 48 times and counting. This song...NEVER GETS OLD! Even 35 ish years later....I remember watching the premeire of the video on MTV when they still played music!

Old school music makes you feel alive!

I was about 19 when this was out. I was in the Marine Corps at that time. What a great time to be a young person. The music scene was so amazing. Since you are a rap fan... I had that too. Run DMC and Beastie Boys were already big... Bon Jovi was non stop on MTV at this point. How do you know bands are good? Well, 40 years later and they still sell out their shows.. thats how you know they are great. Livin on a prayer is referring to the young couple this song was about... they were starting off young and had very little... thus they were living on a prayer.

"Song is like Mike Tyson of rock song." You got that right my man. 🤣🤣

Bon Jovi still Rocks to this day...

List of 10 songs by Bon Jovi songs you should definitely listen to: 1. Bad Medicine 2. It's my life 3. Born to be my baby 4: Keep the faith 5: Limitless 6. This House is not for sale 7: Runaway 8: We dont run 9: She dont know me 10: Because we can

I love watching your reactions to these songs. You make this 60 year old lady laugh and make my day. God bless you sweetie!!

Some other great songs by Bon Jovi you should check out! "Blaze of Glory", "It's My Life", "Bed of Roses", "Always"

What real music sounds like!! The 80s we're the best music generation ever!! Great reaction, love it!!

It's awesome to see an new younger bon Jovi fan get started on enjoying the music, the sambora commit about coding on a guitar was great. This band has stuck around for an reason.

“Who’s Gina?” 😂😂😂🥰

This song is a masterclass in the classic 80s epic wale in rock songs. That singing yell kept in control and in tune to the music without overshadowing the music. a wale in complete harmony that adds to the song. The singers these days, when they even try a wale, tend to be too loud or stand out too much from the song, trying to be the center instead of part of the song.

Do their song "Lay your hands on me" from the New Jersey LP do live version

Omg! That hair and that smile!!! Jon was so freaking awesome! We all loved him.

You asked about one line “Tommy has his 6string in hock” .. so he has to put his guitar in the pawn shop ..him and Gina are struggling to make it big in the music world !! Which him and his wife have been together since high school so he can relate to the song in this way .. his name is Jon Bon Jovi . The band is Bon Jovi .. He wrote song Blaze Of Glory for the movie Young guns and was nominated for an Oscar for best song in a movie .. I think they won the golden globe ..they wanted the band to use the song wanted dead or alive for the movie but the band wanted to write a new song for the movie .. you should react to Blaze of Glory

OMG haven't heard this song in a few years. ITS SO F*CKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

I saw them live in 1995. I was with a girl I swore I was in love with. It didn't work out but we're still friends, but man oh man what a period of life. It was amazing. Now we're both old people with kids! lol

These concerts were amazing. Just like the video.

This tour was the best concert I've ever been to. I was only 14 and screamed myself hoarse. Thanks for a great reaction and a fun trip down memory lane

I can’t remember my life, being a teenager, growing up, every day things and every day but I have no idea how I can remember classic rock roll or rock and roll songs, any way this song is awesome, like lfr jojo said, this song was put together extremely good.

New Jersey always had some good ones...

Seeing your joy to the music i grew up with brought a tear to my eye

We were all obsessed with this song and with Bon Jovi. Please read your comments they’re trying to teach you so much about where the name came from where the songs came from. Love your reaction to this and to Richie Sambora on the guitar. Just like the song, Bon Jovi never stopped!Loving your reaction. Listen to you give love a bad name. The boys were all from New Jersey.

Bad Medicine. Official clip. That's what you need to see next.

Video came out in 1987; so called “‘87 revolution”...Hair bands told off; this song was HUGE, and SO MANY good Albums dropped that year. Motley Crue, Poison & Cinderella (came out in 86 popular in 87), Guns N’ Roses, Def Leppard’s Hysteria album, Whitesnake Etc etc. and MTV played videos lol

I remember when this song came out. Everyone knew it was an instant hit. I love songs that build and you can feel from the beginning intro the excitement building. The chorus hits you hard and makes you scream the lyrics! The song continues and right when you think the building of the song can not get any bigger there is a key change for the final chorus that blows your mind! We played this song in pep band and for first trumpet they were the highest notes I have ever tried to hit!

This young man comes from an amazing family and all we need to do is pray blessings on all of them

... Absolutely Loved Your Reaction To This... "Bon-Jovi" Are One Of The Best Rock Groups Ever In My Opinion ...Their Music Is For The Masses To Hear With Each Generation...This Song Is One Of My Favourites...A Classic... Keep Up With Your Reactions.... Respect Rach UK 😜

My nephew is 17, only a year younger than you are and he loves this song. His dad was and still is a BIG metalhead

Awesome reaction !! I love you seeing you have so much fun listening to the music I grew up with. The year was 1986 and I was your age and I was rocking that song blaring out my windows from my 72 Chevrolet singing just like you were at 4:30 of the video...fantastic man !!!

It's like the cameras not even there with you!!!! This is how people truly react to music they like when they're alone!!! That is exactly what I want to see thank you

Your reaction was priceless! You were so happy and giggling I love to see people react so positively surprised by good music!

Been watching your reactions all afternoon. you’re amazing, never stop getting cultured and learning from others, you’re a true inspiration, hate to say it but your a rock fan as well as rap, a great beat speaks

got to love the 80's hair. bigger the better

Grew up listening to his music and many other songs that remind me of childhood. 😁😎

this is the best song on da planet earth!

This song was unbelievably huge,and the anthem for a generation

Bon Jovi "Slippery When Wet" was my FIRST Concert! The Band got it's name from the Lead Singer Jon Bon Jovi. His Real last name is Bongiovi. Both,

Its been in countless movies...ads sports events u name it! Its everywhere!

Now THATS a REACTION!!!!

Man seeing you react to the songs I grew up with and loving them is making me so happy, this is my favorite channel RN I could watch your videos for hours hahaha

They Have To Be Very Talented To Have Had Such A Long Successful Career! And to Have Come Back With A Huge Number 1 Hit, like "It's My Life". My taste in music runs from Heavy Metal to Classical, But Bon Jovi's my All-time Favorite. As far as I'm concerned Bon Jovi Ranks Amongst The Greatest Artists In History. Along Side Frank Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles, The Bee Gees and ABBA.

This song has become their "Anthem Song"

Jon is actually an Italian-American, family name Bongiovi. He anagramed his last name into the band name Bon Jovi. Pax Romana.

So glad I lived through this time in music the 80s had so many great bands

Oh man I love you! Your reactions to these 80s rock videos are priceless!! You lip sync and dance to this song like I do!! Subscribed and ready to see what's next, keep doing what you're doing kid! This makes my heart happy

My parents had this song on cassette in the car in the 90s and my older brother and me - the little sister - always rocked to this song. We couldn’t understand or speak English (not our mother language) but he always made the deep background voice and I mimicked Bon Jovy with an air guitar. 🥲

Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richoe Sambora + Desmond Child. This song is about cowriter Desmond Child + his friend Gina. But JBJ + DC chsnged the name to Tommy. This song/video is Part 1. Part 2 is It's My Life. Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora + Max Martin. Produced by Bruce Fairbairn. 1 of the greatest engineers in rock music. Engineered by Bob Rock. This album led to The Cult + Motley Crue hiring Bob Rock. Then came Metallica! Do check out musicians who hired Nob Rock and Bruce Fairbairn as engineer or producer. Recorded at Little Mountain Sound, Vancouver, the most famous music studio in Canada. RIP Bruce Fairbairn

Damn this song put out a lot of baby making practices back in the day 😂 ahhh the 80s and 90s was awesome!

That hook is the greatest in history.

Legend has it that by now Bon Jovi is 3/4 there.

One of the biggest songs of all time

The GOAT of all hair bands!

First time in Amsterdam, NL one night, I saw three guys on three dutch bicycles singing this loudly and proudly together, in September 2015. Happiest city on Earth? They looked happy just singing this song riding their bicycles. It was cool... I liked it.

Sing it lil cuzz no cap

I am 14 years old and I listen to Bon Jovi everyday

I LOVE your reactions to Bon Jovi. I've loved them for almost 30 years, I even have a tattoo on my arm for Always (an awesome ballad you should listen to).

I love that your broadening your horizons, your videos keep making me want to sit here and listen to all these amazing bands,

One day I saw a video about a weird tweet sung in this melody, I thought...hold on.. I've heard this before. Then I started to look for the original and found it, I listened a bit, but it didn't quite get to me. Today I put it on the TV and listened to the whole thing, hadn't left my mind, so I had to download it.

Makes me happy to see you enjoying what has come to be known as "hair metal," a signature sound in the 80s. Bon Jovi is definitely a huge name in the genre but another group you might like is Cinderella, specifically their song "Nobody's Fool." It's not just a song, it's an anthem, really. And, apologies for totally spamming your notifications, this is like the 9th or 10th video I've watched tonight and I've commented on nearly every one that I've seen. Just making my way through the backlog starting from the beginning so I (hopefully) don't end up sending you more recommendations for songs/artists you've already done.

Omg...you were halarious, how fun was that!!

Watch the living on a prayer and you give love a bad name live in zurich 2000. Youll see how good musicians they were and the people of thousands jumpin on the beat.

Love seeing your videos. Me as a 33 year old these songs are sooooo classic. Wish I could have Heard them for the first time too again ❤

you rocking out to this was literally EVERYBODY in 1986 😀

I'm glad you love and appreciate motley Crue and bon Jovi. I am an original headbanger of the '80s and I could teach you so much great music. You should check out poison because they are a number one party band. I'm seeing motley Crue twice and poison for years in a row so that should tell you how good they are.

Your reaction is the same way I felt back in the day listening to these hair bands. Love them!

The one they almost didn't release as a single. It put them on the map.
