Jon Bon Jovi was Against the Idea of the iPod at First?

Jon Bon Jovi, American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actor, joined JSS of 98 Rock to talk about Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story." Jon Bon Jovi and JSS discussed how Bon Jovi was able to remain such a cultural icon and shaper in the world of music. Jon Bon Jovi is best known as the founder and frontman of the rock band Bon Jovi, which was formed in 1983. He has released 15 studio albums with his band as well as two solo albums.

Agree Jon. Kids today don’t have the albums that we had. Going to the record store. Buying that album, looking at all the cool artwork while listening to it. It was a whole pleasurable experience.

[Jayhawk]

I completely agree. The whole album in a certain sequence matters. Identifying an album by what the album cover looks like matters. Having a physical copy in your hands matters. Bands put a lot of work and time into all these things for the fans because it matters. Damn I so miss the past so much

Always a fan of you Jon & all your awesome songs! ♥️🌟👋

[HeavyInstinct]

I agree with him 100%. The experience of listening to albums in their entirety is something that seems to have been lost on people these days. They don't know what they're missing.

BEAUTIFUL JON BON JOVI 🤘🏻🎶🎸🎶🎤🎶LOVE ♥️ Forever JON ♥️♥️♥️

[ryder-shawsbolt_official]

I completely agree with what Jon’s saying here. If there were no iPods these greatness of music would have continued up to now

[suerimes]

I agree. I always listen to the whole album and in the right order.

[debfarr]

Absolutely makes perfect sense ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[RickRockerMusic]

True but Dj’s played singles on radio anyway. So you heard songs out of context of albums regardless. Ipod didn’t ultimately change the way we listened, just how we bought music. Which was big

[DemetriaVanzanten-xyom]

Jon you're so right, I believe it all the way. I think it hurt the bands big time. I loved it when you could go to a record store & buy the album instead of listening to it in bits and pieces. I had something to look forward to play the whole album. Before new album comes now pieces of it are out before the album is. I think that hurts y'all. I really hated the WWW. Only thing good about it now is, I get to watch & listen to you! I stand behind you on this!❤💖❤

[DinaCampbell-dq]

I agree with you, Jon Bon Jovi!.. 👍🤗❤️

[andreacasazza]

I have NEVER thought about that! But, anyway, i'm a guy that usually listens to albums from the beginning to the end

[spookyhalloweengal]

With nearly every album I bought growing up, I went immediately to cut 4 and cut 7, as for some reason they usually ended up being my favorites. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[charliereussner]

I think we have all seen enough of Bon Jerkey at this point now.
