Jon Bon Jovi - Queen Of New Orleans

[Retro]

I love the guitar riffs on this 1997 melodic rock song and it's chock-a-block* with them. Heck, I actually bought the CD single at the time and still have it. Sounds fantastic in pristine uncompressed CD quality sound. Something that's hard to come by nowadays.

Turns out that Jon Bon Jovi actually has quite a good, normal-sounding voice when he's not screaming into the microphone like he normally does which puts me off completely.

*Hey Retro, what are you using such a silly word for?!

We enjoy listening to many Jon Bon Jovi songs. We haven't seen this video though. Thanks for sharing.

It would seem also that he's a little more human rock star than most. He has a "Pay as you Can" restaurant chain and has some nice life stories and some stories behind his songs. One of our favorite songs is "l'll be there for you". I love the lyric when he says "I'll steal the sky for you".

You know, my naively innocent self never quite understood what this song was about until I saw the video!

Man, those guitar riffs are good, never tire of them, even 28 years later. And yes, I got the CD single at the time and still have it, in perfect condition.

That restaurant chain sounds great, respect.

The past few months, my dh and I have been binge watching YouTube Rock videos and the stories behind the rock bands too, like the interviews etc. We were impressed with Jon Bon Jovi because he seemed so normal in interviews and we did like that he was helping communities too. He's done nice stuff in his life and has been married a long time which is also rare in the music biz.
