Even Bob Dylan loves Bon Jovi.

Jon received a Dylan's guitar in his birthday. Dylan wrote on the guitar: "To Jon, who keeps livin' on a prayer" or something like that.

Not sure what this has to do with the conversation at all, but Richie is friends with Jimmy Page ever since that Hammersmith Apollo gig in 1990. They hang out together even nowadays.

Surely if any Bon Jovi song has a direct Queen influence, it's "Put the Boy Back in Cowboy" which sounds a lot like "Fat Bottomed Girls". There's also the basic drum rythym from "Summertime" which sounds like "We Will Rock You" at the start.

Again unaware of this fact, I am happy to see them together.

Just like, say, there is little Deep Purple in Jovi's music, despite Richie and David citing them as MAJOR influences. Or Queen for that matter.

Eddie Van Halen always cited Eric Clapton as his influence and I do not hear it.

And in some 1995 acoustic show (Hard Rock café London or NY), Jon introduces "Wanted" with: "Like Bob Dylan once said to me... 'I loooove that cowboooy soooong'..."

I think the thing with Metallica is that Stone Cold Crazy is often cited as a song that was 'thrash metal before thrash metal'. So they are very much influenced by Queen, even if it's just one song.
