Oh how I wish I could find either that footage of Bon Jovi at the end of that Cinderella vid (Shake me?) or, even better, when Triumph the Insult Dog ripped them apart! Funnier than hell.

I have nothing against Bon Jovi. I just don't think of Bon Jovi when I think Heavy Metal. Bon Jovi is non-existant as far as I'm concerned.

Greetings all..I'm an ax player and singer myself. Mostly old rock and roll, some classic Yes, acoustic rock songs, but primarily Judas priest and Iron Maiden. I dont ussually use tab unless its relyable, I mostly figure songs out by ear. If I had time to I could probably write more accurate tab then most of it out there.

Thank you :)
I play everything from hard rock. prog rock,, to heavy metal of all kinds. The only exception is nu-metal, and I don't play a lot of black metal. The majority of stuff is power metal, prog metal, and traditional heavy metal. Some playlists are available at http://ethertap.webs.com if you want to see what I've been playing lately.
that is totally awesome Magpie.do you play a large variety or what

My beef with Bon Jovi is that their first couple of albums were directly aimed at the metal audience (the lighter side of metal to be sure, but still metal), but as soon as they got some success, they not only denied their metal roots (such as they were) but went out of their way to belittle the metal audience whose support kept them afloat until they hit the big time.
So bottom line? They don't want to be reminded of their metal roots, so I'm happy to oblige, and I won't acknowledge them as a metal band. I pride myself that in 20 years of broadcasting heavy metal, I've never once played a Bon Jovi song, nor will I ever.
