Okay– I am getting ready to show my real age here. I have been a lover of Bon Jovi since they recorded the album Slippery When Wet. The band became real popular about the time I started showing an interest in boys and rock music. I can remember buying his cassette tape and listening non stop on my Walkman (see told you I was going to show you my age!). In fact, I believe that I had to purchase 2 more copies of that album during that time because I kept wearing it out. They were indeed my favorite band during my teenage years.

Jon looks amazing!!a very sexy 51 year old man!! I have been obsessed since I was 14!! I just saw them again in Edmonton they are amazing!! They best band ever!!
It is so hard to choose just one favorite part of the Bon Jovi Soundcheck. I love the band so much. I have two favorites if I have to choose. My first favorite is when Jon Bon Jovi stops playing for a minute just to look at the audience and smile. It shows such a love for performing and being on stage. His passion is infectious. I also love when he sings “Because We Can”. “Because We Can” is significant for a couple reasons – it’s his newest single; it’s an amazing song that sends an incredibly powerful positive message about wanting to make a difference and stand out.
Because we can video is my favorite part of the sound check. our 10 month old grandson has made us love this song … we joke we should send bon jovi a check cause he sings our baby to sleep every night with that song
I love the live performances
What is not to like about Bon Jovi! I love It’s My Life the most.
You Give Love A Bad Name
I like It’s My Life which is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
I LIKE “IT’S MY LIFE” 🙂

It’s My Life! An anthem of teenage rebellion.
I liked You give love a bad name. Gosh I remember when it came out.
The opening! They chose my favorite song.
i liked “livin on a prayer”- i have memories of trying to win a radio contest when that song would come on
I like all of his songs and I remember before going into surgery that the surgeon was playing his songs.
I like the song “Because We Can”!
The opening, of course!
I enjoyed the opening. Just Fab!!!
I love the music and looks like they perform really well live!

My favorite part of the WalMart SoundCheck on Bon Jovi was getting to hear You Give Love a Bad Name again! And my goodness, Jon is looking fabulous!
Katharina angelsandmusic[at]gmail[dot]com
Ahhh the memories…I love them singing You give love a bad name…….
The good old days of listening to Bon Jovi, those were the days.
I love everything about bon jovi. Especially Jon, I love him, I love Him, I love Him! Oh yeah, I love my husband too!
great love bon jovi
You give Love a Bad name is one of my favorites
my favorite is “you give love a bad name”
I like the song ‘\”That’s What the Water Made Me”
I love how the song “You Give Love A Bad” name has matured into something a bit more artistic. They have done a lot more styling to the song making it more interesting to listen to musically without losing the original song.
I loveee love bon jovi!! Have to say my favorite is “you give love a bad name”!
I really really like his jacket and the lights behind them on stage
xo
I love bon he has been an model for me since i was little love how he just cares about everything,. and his songs are the bomb
I liked “It’s My Life” and the interview at the end!
The vocal opening to You Give Love a Bad Name was really cool
I love how handsome the guys still are. Brings back great memories!
It’s my life – very impressed that they had the full versions of all those songs.
I loved seeing the band perform “You Give Love a Bad Name,” which was my favorite song when I was a Bon Jovi-loving teenager! They still sound (and look) great!
Everything! I have been a fan of Bon Jovi since I was about 9 or 10. I remember when their first album came out, I loved RUNAWAY 🙂 And they only got better!
I like his best song is first “You Give Love a Bad Name”
The interview is my favorite!
I’ve been listening to Bon Jovi since I was a baby. I love them! I liked the interview the best. <3 momlovesdeals at gmail dot com
i liked the opening the best, i remember going to their first concert, think i may even have the ticket stubs somewhere…
It’s my life!! However just watching him was my favorite part!!
Would like to see them in concert some day.
I love Bon Jovi! My favorite part was the opening!
I love It’s My Life. Jon is a great New Jerseyan, I saw him once at a fruit market!
The lead guitar.
I love bon jovi, he seems like a genuinely nice guy- he’s married to his high school sweetheart, you never hear nasty things about him and he volunteers his time!
My favorite part was when Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora played guitar and sang together at the mike, during ”That’s What the Water Made Me”. It reminded me of when they duetted on their legendary ‘unplugged’ performance of “Livin’ On A Prayer” at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards!
My favorite part of the Bon Jovi Walmart Soundcheck is “Amen” because it’s my favorite song on their new CD so it was great seeing JBJ sing it live. I got chills when he got to the chorus. His voice is amazing on that song! They were my favorite band in the 80’s & continue to be today. I REALLY want to WIN this one!!!!
I loved you give love a bad name performance the man still has it and has not aged one bit..I love him 🙂
LOVE when they play AMEN 🙂
All of it!
My fave part is the music
I liked hearing him talk about the new album! Love Jon.
I like the beginning with “You Give Love a Bad Name.”
Cool opening.
Living on a prayer is possibly the greatest song of all time.
I like many of their song’s, and I’m a big fan.
I like the interview
I have love Bon Jovi since I was 9!!! My favorite part was the interview. sweepmorey at gmail dot com
My daughter and I are two of Bon Jovi’s biggest fans! We were fortunate enough to see them perform recently. We even stayed in the same hotel has they did and got to meet some of the band members in the hotel lobby. What I like best is that they have such big hearts and the new songs have so much meaning. I would love to volunteer for them if I lived near by.
liked the opening, great interview
What did I like best about the Walmart soundcheck concert and giveaway – Very simply – the cd giveaway. Let me explain – my wife is no doubt the biggest Bon Jovi fan ever. We have been at every tour and even the solo ones. She owns every album (on cd and cassette) her wardrobe consists of many Bon Jovi items so the thought of finally getting a free one is very attractive. If I ever get to meet any of the band I am going to let them buy me a beer. ( in return of the thousands of dollars I have given them over the last 30 years – lol). I am a fan also but my wife is a “superfan”. It would be awesome to win
I love their new song ‘Amen’! It was interesting to hear the story of how the album cover was designed. I also like that all of the band members spoke in the interview. Everyone should love their jobs as much as these four do!!
I’ll take a different approach. I liked the red back lighting.

Love all of it, but my favorite part is “It’s My Life”!
i like the interview exclusives!
I have to admit that Bon Jovi started my interest in rock bands when I was a teenager. I was so ridiculously crazy about them! I had life size posters, went to the concerts, watched their videos over and over. My mom still makes fun of me because when their videos would come on I would trample people to get to the tv to watch. My favorite part of soundcheck was the performance of “You Give Love a Bad Name”.
I love the memories that come from the songs that they are including. So much fun and always classic with Bon Jovi.
The interview is fu-even though seeing them today makes me fee old!
I loved the opening.
Its hard to pick a favorite when its Bon Jovi. I love them all but I guess Living on a Prayer.
Always been a Bon Jovi fan, what’s not to LOVE!
What is not to love? You give love a bad name is fabulous.
Jon in black leather- what’s not to LOVE?? I dreamed of Giving Love a Bad Name with him when I was much, much younger!

I love the interview portion – especially the story about how they had the artwork for the album cover commissioned.
I love how incredibly well-preserved they are. Those men are looking good. Not too many 80s rockers look that fabulous…. and we must be the same age, bacause SWW was one of my favorite tapes (yes I said tapes) as a kid.
Jon Bon Jovi – aaaahhh! The opening, of course! “YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME!!!”
