Bon Jovi Biography

In 1983, John Bongiovi was being paid $50 a week to work as a "gofer" at New York City's legendary Power Station recording studios. He was running errands, fetching coffee and sweeping floors (the very same ones upon which he often found himself sleeping,) all the while watching the Who's Who of the rock 'n' roll world pass through the front doors. When Jon wasn't working as a gofer, he was working on his own music. At all odd hours of the night, using the empty studios and any lingering musicians he could recruit, John recorded his own original songs.

I have been a fan since Runaway and they just keep getting better and better, The concerts are amazing and they give their all to every performance. I will never tire of seeing them, as long as they keep rocking i will be buying tickets to see them again and again. Jon and Richie are amazing, definatly the 2 most sexiest men in rock. I'm addicted......I'm in love......what more can i say. Keep up the good work guys. xx
