There is some terrible music out there, we know as we ve heard it. In fact, we d go as far as to say most anytime you turn on the radio, you re tuning into a major suck-fest. Though that may sound enticing to the likes of Kid Rock and Scott Stapp, those who know we re talking about hearing bad music and not whipping out our tiny chonkers for misguided groupies to mock sing into, are as distressed by the situation as we are.
For instance: James Blunt would make a better librarian, Hip Hop s become tedious and My Chemical Romance makes us want to permanently seal up our ears with fresh epoxy and a red hot iron. We are not alone in our musical disappointments. Bon Jovi is right there with us, clawing away at a band he can t stand.
And boy oh boy, does he ever claw at it.
much. He must really hate them too, as he went so far as to use the
F word.
Children leave the room:
em. I don t understand it. I know they are huge (in Britain), but I
never really got it.
It is just Spinal Tap isn t it? It is just a lark.
I am not sure they think so, though.
I think they take it seriously.
They made a little splash in the US but, man I don t get it at all.
Bon Jovi, ironically in this case has written/performed such aural atrocities as: Runaway,
She Don t Know Me, In and Out of Love, The Hardest Part Is the Night,
Only Lonely, Silent Night, You Give Love a Bad Name, Wanted Dead or
Alive, Livin On a Prayer, Never Say Goodbye, Bad Medicine, Born to Be
My Baby, I ll Be There for You, Lay Your Hands on Me, Living In Sin,
Keep the Faith, Bed of Roses, In These Arms, I ll Sleep When I m Dead,
Come Home for Christmas, This Ain t a Love Song, Something for the
Pain, Lie to Me, These Days, Real Life, It s My Life, Say It Isn t So,
Thank You for Loving Me, One Wild Night, Everyday, Misunderstood, All
Welcome To Wherever You Are, and the craptacular I Want To Be Loved,
leaving him in no position to point that finger.
That last song gave
two of our guys the squirts for a day and a half. They had it on while
they were eating an entire vine of sour grapes, and did they ever pay
for it.
eighties rock territory.
They came out and instantly had that sound,
change one iota since 1984. That hardly seems fair now, does it?
Maybe there s something more deep rooted causing the disgust.
Maybe
it s because The Darkness put a helpless squid in space for a video,
monsters. Maybe he s got a natural prejudice against frontmen who
allegedly fluff their manes in the back room down at The Hair Club For Men, or perhaps it s because Hawkins enormous nipples look too much like two thick slices off of a Pizza Hut pepperoni log.
Yeah, it s probably that one.

Bon Jovi sound the same now and seriously if you think they are the hottest band around right now then you need to take your album collection away from the radiator coz thats complete bull!
!
And by the way The Darkness rock!!
Bit rich of JBJ to slag off the Darkness: they ve been around for a couple of years, have done a couple of albums and are in their 20s - he was at the same point in his career too once (in the 80s)!
Just look at his videos - flying over the audience in Livin on a Prayer , the comedy video for In and Out of Love , Bon Jovi s drummer throwing drumsticks in the air in the You Give Love A Bad Name Video etc he was young and having fun, surely he hasnt forgotten that already? The Darkness are young, let them have their fun for now, maybe they ll grow up and evolve too one day.
As for whether Bon Jovi s music has grown up well if you mean Jon s voice isn t as good as it used to be, then yes. Ever since he started smoking in the 90s his voice has turned into the most annoying nasal whine. He needs to quit smoking for the sake of my ears!
Hey fellow Jovi fans LOL,
Good for you putting out how you feel, and heres how i feel ok, I think that its ok that Jon hate s The Darkness thats his choice and after all we all have different taste in what we like. So its ok for you guys to go round bad mouthing Jon his Band But Its not ok for Jon to say how he feels about another group Hah !!
!!!
!!!
!! Im sorry i think you guys are just as bad saying things about BON JOVI If thats the case.
Im a Big Bon Jovi fan my self and Ok i like the odd Darkness song but Im not going to stop someone saying how they feel about somthing, thats why we have feedom of speech isnt it.
Thing is If this gets into warr of bands you can bet your ass Jovi fans will back Jon and the band all the way.
