way to ruin some peoples dining experience you dick

who?

Paul Bart: Mall Cop has taught me to hate Jon Bon Jovi with a passion. It has also taught me that Hello Kitty band aids take the pain away.

So now someone is gonna try this at the Fridays.

I'm not a big Bon Jovi fan, but that would have been cool.

?? How about annoying?

So he destroyed not only their appetite but a killer song by Jethro Tull? sigh. This man needs to fade away like the rest of the junk bands from that era.

I'd rather see him do pull this stunt at a restaurant than any of the top 100 bands that are in the charts today.

in other news... the entire dining room at the Blue Parrot vomited simultaneously

Yeah, and what about your lawn?

I heard Angelina Jolie was there with Brad Pitt
and Bon Jovi sang to her:



I eat antipasta twice
Just because she is so nice, Angelina
Angelina, the waitress at the pizzeria

I give up soup and minestrone
Just to be with her alone, Angelina
Angelina, the waitress at the pizzeria

Ti vol-glio be-ne
Angelina I adore you
E vol-glio be-ne
Angelina I live for you

E un pas-sio-ne
You have set my heart on fire
But Angelina
Never listens to my song

I eat antipasta twice
Just because she is so nice, Angelina
Angelina, waitress at the pizzeria

If she'll be a my My Car-ra mi-a
Then I'll join in matrimony
With a girl who serves spumoni
And Angelina will be mine!

did it cost 34MP?

Damn, why can't I get lucky like that somewhere? If I even walked into a place & he was there, I'd be too excited to eat. I'd be happy to sit there & look at that magnificently sexy man for a while though. His wife, Dorothea, is the luckiest woman on Earth.

Bon Jovi is my brother-in-law's favorite band. He probably would have creamed his pants had he been there for this.

And to be fair, through seeing more about him, while not really a fan of his music, Jon Bon Jovi does seem like a pretty cool and down to earth guy. The piece 60 Minutes did on him a few years ago was actually on last night. The guy has no beef about where he came from and knows that is what he will probably always be known for but he is cool with it since it has made him an ass ton of money.

I just mowed it. It looks lovely, tyvm.

Go fark yourself, San Diego.

Maroon 5: Bon Jovi for today's kids.

Um, whether or not you like his music, it's hard to claim Bon Jovi isn't an excellent singer and guitarist. If he's playing someone else's stuff, he probably gave a pretty solid performance.

He's really short IRL. Five-six tops if even that. He was a real jerk back in the eighties--he used to pull the "do you know who I am?" crap all the time, I personally witnessed this on a couple of occasions as did most people in central Jersey in the late eighties/early nineties--but he's mellowed out a lot and has done a lot of good. And yeah, he's aging incredibly well.

/David Bryan is still a jackass though

MikoSquiz: Bon Jovi: Maroon 5 for old people.

That is in no way accurate.

Broktun: I'm not a big Bon Jovi fan, but that would have been cool.

Came here to say this, but now I won't. But, I sorta just did.

MikoSquiz: Bon Jovi: Maroon 5 for old people.

Maroon 5: Bon Jovi for today's kids.

Really? I don't see the similarity.

"Stevie Ray Vaughn is dead, and we can't get Jon Bon Jovi in a helicopter."
Or something like that. I'm paraphrasing.

I was hoping he ate cat poop.

Eh, I think it would have been fun to have been there to see it, and I'm not the biggest Bon Jovi fan in the world, either.

Related story... Back in the mid-80s, when they were first breaking on the scene, Richie Sambora's aunt used to stop by the Sam Goody's I worked at to ask how "the boys' " albums were selling. We'd then ask her how "the boys" were doing while on tour, and she'd tell us about how they all had the sniffles because they were working so hard . She was a nice lady, and a real hoot.

/always wanted to ask her what she thought about Cher as her niece-in-law

I'm from Sayreville. I went to school with John's brother Tony and I met John at the occasional house party in the early 1980's, when he was still with Atlantic City Expressway. Back then, John was a bit of a pretty boy, and even though we "burnouts" didn't care much for his style or his music, we recognized that he worked really hard and doggedly promoted his beloved band.

I played bass in a crap band with Dave Szabo, and Dave was another big Bonjovi defender/admirer. Yeah, John wasn't "metal". But at least he was out there pushing his music, doing his thing and getting the job done while most of us "true metalheads" were just yanking our own chains. Dave went on to form Skid Row, John went on to form Bonjovi and I left New Jersey for good.

I watched both bands become very successful, and they did it through perseverance, sacrifice and hard work. Nothing was ever handed to these guys.

Oh, and David Bryan (nee Rashbaum) was a good guy and an astonishing keyboardist. His head may have swelled - we haven't spoken since the old days - but he was always a very quiet, cool and smart character.

I never liked John's music, but I've always been proud of his accomplishments. Unlike many musicians nowadays, he never felt entitled to success. He worked hard for it. I'd be psyched to hear him play Aqualung in a Mexican restaurant. Or even a Chinese one.

Too bad I am not a fan of their music but this is a really cool gesture, and one that I wish other celebs would offer to fans every now and then. Bon Jovi just moved up in my book.

I'm from Colts Neck, and Dave, Alec Such and Tico Torres all bought houses there after Slippery When Wet blew up. I was managing the local dry cleaners at the time and I was in my early twenties, prime Bon Jovi age, so I knew who they were and was pretty stoked when each of them came in but didn't fangirl. Alec was really nice, as was his mom who lived with him--she actually got me tickets for a Philly show on the second leg of the SWW tour as an Xmas gift unasked. Tico was okay--he used to come in a bar in the same shopping center as the cleaners and he'd buy people drinks. As for Dave, he was all right with me, on the quiet side, but I saw him biatching out two little girls who'd had the audacity to ask him for his autograph in the convenience store. They couldn't have been any more than twelve and he made one of them cry by saying "I don't have time for this shiat." After that I had no respect for him.

As a diner, I would ask for my money back, as someone who thinks Bon Jovi spews regurgitated riffs and hackneyed cliches.

farbekrieg got it right off the bat.
Bon Jovi, dude, go home.

purty boys needs constant attentions

Fitting that this isn't under the "Music" tab?

I recently had dinner with David Brian and he actually made a restaurant patron puke so I am getting a kick etc...(He used the heimlich manuver oon a dude)

MikoSquiz: Bon Jovi: Maroon 5 for old people.

Maroon 5: Bon Jovi for today's kids.

Well...they have both appeared in SNL Digital Shorts...

Bon Jovi - People Getting Punched Right Before Eating (new window)

Adam Levine - Iran So Far (new window)

If that's what you mean.

He sang "Aqualung" in a mexican restaurant? Hope nobody ordered anything with green sauce.

Well, I guess cocaine is a helluva drug.

uh i'm not sure where the article mentions "aqualung."

well did he eat the cat poop?

incircles: uh i'm not sure where the article mentions "aqualung."

And we have found the one guy in the thread who hasn't seen Anchorman.

robsul82: Maroon 5 wishes they could be Bon Jovi.

That's a sad image. Like a kid born with just a tongue and an eyeball wishing he could be a quadraplegic.

I would have been more impressed if he has played some jazz flute

/40 comments and no Anchorman reference? For shame.

cycoivan: I would have been more impressed if he has had played some jazz flute

God dammit! Who changed up the teleprompter again? Don't you know that cycoivan will type whatever you put on it?!
