Bon Jovi sings John Lennon song & it's awesome
Hi guys,
Just wanted to share with you this video of Bon Jovi covering John Lennon :D You'll like it: http://www.evergig.com/concerts/2013...ydney/Bon_Jovi http://kidsstuffworld.com/wp-content...onBonJovi4.jpg |
I remember this clip. I've always loved this song. Also some nice clips after the Lennon song.
|
This has been shared and discussed back when the live stream was released back in December of 2013.
As far as the end result being "awesome", I would say this was a nice attempt at best. I would jump through hoops for a Jon vocal of this back in the late 80's / early 90's. This version is just ok at best. The BJ Staff backing vocal just kills the rest of the performance for me... |
This is the whole show if anyone was wanting to see what was played and how. Jon's voice is painful to listen to at times, especially that helium thing he started to do with his voice at the end of the tour to reach his higher register. On the plus side, I never knew they played Thick as Thieves as the album version. I thought they had only done the acoustic one.... |

This song is not just some random bootleg cover. It's a soundboard of Christmas Classic that will surface every year around the holidays. I could see casual fans including this on their compilations and enjoying all those songs for years to come, as done with most artists... I think it was just a bad decision taking a questionable vocal and mix it with bad production (backing vocals) knowing that it was going to be released on a Soundboard and played every year for years to come. Casual fans won't care enough to know the real story. |

This isn't just another version of Bad Name that will get lost in the shuffle. Every Christmas from now until who knows, casual fans will search "Bon Jovi Christmas" and listen to someones playlist and this awful version will pop up every time. They are not going to think, research, or know the cute little story behind it all. They are going to say WTF is this and move on. I think Jon's vocal is actually pretty decent but a little shaky at times and a good chorus definitely makes or breaks it here. |
