That was an excellent interview by an excellent interviewer. Thank you for not making this just another empty exchange. You really hit on some great topics asking questions that most interviewers of Jon do not, and it was great to see Jon light up in answering them. Great job!

Jon is very grounded for a celebrity. Sadly very few are.

I can't believe there's people on Earth who hates on this guy. I mean, he's human, not perfect at all but besides his talent, he's such a good soul, I think he helps people in a very genuine way.

I LOVE YOU JON! I MISS YOU RICHIE!! Saw you so many times in concert and I wanna go back!!!

Great interview! I’ve seen Jon get bored or annoyed during so many interviews over the years but I think he truly enjoyed this one. Thank you for asking great questions.

I was so fortunate to be a teen in the 1980s. This was my group !!!! Not because of the way they looked, because I truly loved the music. I've been a fan since Bon Jovi Bon Jovi their first album with she's a little runaway. And 7800 Fahrenheit second in 1985 I believe? I was 15 in 85 and the music was booming!!! In and out of Love, Burning For Love, silent night, and I absolutely loved it because Jon Bon Jovi sang in my key . the key of c 🤣😂 so I mean I would have bon Jovi blaring singing to the top of my voice when I was cleaning. On cassette tape of course in my boombox. No lie. Love the group and Jon's voice . To me and I'm not bashing any group but Sebastian Bach of skid row Vince Neil, of motley Crue, their voices always seemed as if they were so thin of substance . and when they would reach a high note or high cord it almost seemed like they were screaming the note . Of course slippery when wet. And New Jersey were both in my cassettes as soon as they hit the music stores that's a given. But as we grow older our voice is a muscle and just like all the other muscles in the human body as you age. It weakens and it also depends on if you smoked how much you smoked how much you drank ect. I love the fact he let his hair go gray and he doesn't do plastic surgery. The new stuff is good . I will always love the old stuff . I'm 50 now . And I'm still rocking to the old tunes. 🤣 And New.

"Trying to find optimism in the hurt that makes you limitless." So true, Jon!!!

[engthailie]

When you see a million faces and rock 'em all over 33 years...

We can't run from aging
And his voice too

[mariacristinatursi]

This guy is amazing. You are such an inspiration with your music and your life Jon. THANK YOU!

I’ve always loved Jon! Absolutely the BEST. The interviewer is impressive too-not like the norm.

[poydapoyderson]

So many interviews he looks like he’s had enough and is over it all. Refreshing here he looks....just real.

[BillGraper]

The key change is so EPIC, I can't imagine not having it. Who cares if you can't hit the notes now? We are left with a classic song with an amazing key change that also comes one beat early. Pretty epic stuff.

I’m a dyed in the wool alternative/indie music listener of the 80s/90s...was never into hair bands or glam metal...but Jon Bon Jovi is a class act as a human being and a very gifted songwriter. A cut above his peers.

[mrboppah]

What an amazing interview.
Both interviewer and Jon impressed me immensely.
Great pointed questions, particularly the key change in Living on a Prayer.
I actually opted to listen to this while working out instead of music.
Extremely good, thank you and well done 👍.

Find a band where everyone isn't in the media spotlight. He flies right & no arrest records, media reports of drugs, alcohol, etc. Very clean cut! Been a fan since their first album came out.

[davidhamilton]

Absolute legend. At least he admits he can't do the key change. It's like Axl... he can't scream. I was privileged to grow up in the 80s and 90s. Thank the lord we didn't have social media back then!

[kristine]

He is so right, he writes songs for a living. It's his job. His life with his wife and children is what is important.
