Mention the name Bon Jovi to any girl and you are more than likely going to see smile on their face and hear a happy sigh to accompany it. For some reason, women of all ages continue to be drawn to both the band and the lead singer. If you want to get some brownie points with your girl, all you will need to do is get tickets to their next show.

The lead singer for Bon Jovi is the one and only Jon Bon Jovi. Time seems to have left him alone as he still has the good looks that he had when he first hit the stage over 25 years ago. He is one of those rare rock stars that has managed to stay grounded throughout his career and actually still lives in New Jersey to this day. He has made quite a name for himself over the past decades as not only a musician, but also as a businessman. He seems to have the golden touch in everything that he does.

Richie Sambora has been an integral part of the band over the years. His playing style is influenced by Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and believe it or not, The Beatles. While he did grow in New Jersey, he has since moved out to California and has homes in both Los Angeles and Laguna Beach. While the band is obviously his main commitment, he has been known to make the occasional appearance in movies and television shows.

Dave Bryan plays the keyboards for the band and is just another Jersey boy. Like Jon Bon Jovi, he has chosen to remain in the state of New Jersey for his main residence. Anyone listening to him play will easily recognize some of his past influences. Southside Johnny and the Jukes and Deep Purple are among his favorites and they reign through in his playing style.

The tempo of the group is held by none other than Tico Torres. He is an exceptional drummer, but that is hardly his only talent. Outside of the band, he has own line of clothing for children called the Rock Star Baby Collection. Aside from his clothing line success, he is also an accomplished painter, sculptor and is no slouch on the golf course.

The band is currently on The Circle Tour and it is being met with incredible success. Actually, many of the coming shows and VIP packages have already been sold out. The mass appeal of the band is still as strong today as it has been for years. It is no wonder, as the stage presence of Jon Bon Jovi has not dwindled one bit over the last 20 or so years.

The tour is full swing and will continue through the spring and summer of 2010. After a quick stop in Canada, they come right back to the United States and will be performing in Philadelphia for a couple of shows on March 23-24. The dates are steady all the way through June, where they slow down just a bit to accommodate the travel (some international dates are mixed in) of the tour schedule. Tickets are going quick so if you plan to see them, it would be wise to check the calendar and lock up your tickets soon.

Many A say that the 1980s is the Strongest decennary- especially when it comes to music. This lay claim, of course, is contentious, but there is no traversing that a count of music that we still know today came from the 80s. The 80s is a period of melodious conceptions, with the deepens done at this time serving as the accelerator for a amount of charms in the been years. Here’s a look at some of the most potent artists during the 80s, including the Vocals and the Lyric Poems that they made fashionable. These Songs are self-confessed by singable authorities as among the Top-quality Vocals during that decennary.

“Like A Virgin,” by Madonna

No list about the music from the 80s is practiced without Madonna, the unchallengeable queen of reinvention. Her song “Like A Virgin” is mayhap her most contentious during the 80s (with Lyric Poems like “Like a virgin / Touched for the very first time / Like a virgin / When your heart beats / Next to mine”). Yet, while the Lyrics are polemic, its achievement as one of the decennary’s most achieved Vocals is not overshadowed. Its Lyric Poems, after all, only serve as the catalyst for other Vocals with standardized themes.

“Billie Jean” and “Beat It,” by Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was called the “King of Pop”-and for good concludes. If you look at the 80s, two of his Vocals can prove that he certainly deserve this title. “Billie Jean” is mayhap the most acclaimed song of Jackson, proving that the Lyrics and music he creates can both be critically and commercially made. The song bears on to the representative when a woman acclaimed is the father of her child, hence the Words “Billie Jean is not my lover / She\’s just a girl who claims that I am the one / But the kid is not my son.” Needless to say, the Lyric Poems of this song carry on to be iconic until today. “Beat it,” on the other hand, has the same feel of the Lyric Poems of “Billie Jean.” Here, the Lyric Poems accommodate warnings to avoid vehemence at any costs. Both Vocals continue to be continued today, most notably by band Fall Out Boy (for “Beat It”) and American Idol winner David Cook (for “Billie Jean”)

“Livin’ on a Prayer,” by Bon Jovi

Interpreted by Some as the Warmest vocal of the 80s, this Bon Jovi piece was first taken for by Jon Bon Jovi as dark to be released. Its reworked edition was taken in their Slippery When Wet record album; it has accomplished massive success ever since. The Lyric Poems tell the story of a working class pair off who fight in order to go and preserve their relationship. The Lyric Poems have various reading -some say the Lyric Poems is anti-labor brotherhood, others say it has no policy-making propensities. But the careless of the Words, the song remains to be relevant-and lovely, just like a prayer.

“Just Like Heaven,” by The Cure

One of the British bands that reached success during the 80s is The Remedy. In an consultation, The Cure’s Robert Smith said he wrote the Lyric Poems for “Just Like Heaven” with the British interview in mind; he said he loved to write Lyric Poems that the British can relate to. And its success can also prove that its attract outstrips its thought commercialize.

Whenever I hear any Bon Jovi songs I am reminded of the time that I went to a Bon Jovi concert on Saturday 6th July 1996. The concert at the Milton Keynes Superbowl was towards the end of the mammoth These Days tour that started on 26th April 1995 at the Andheri Stadium Bombay, India and ended on 19th July 1996 at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.

It took my boyfriend and myself over 3 hours to drive to Milton Keynes and we had to queue for 4 hours until 2pm to get into the Superbowl. It was one of those quirky English weather days, one minute the very hot sun was beating down on us and the next there was torrential freezing cold rain.

When we got into the arena we were able to get a spot at the front of the stage but as more fans arrived and blocked us in I became claustrophobic and worried that I wouldn’t be able to escape to the loo during the next 8 hours. I left Mark hugging the front of the stage and escaped to sit on a hillock where I got a pretty good view of the proceedings as the support bands Seven, Gun and Joan Osborne performed.

The most memorable being Joan Osbornes performance, she was great but the weather was still being quirky and it became pretty uncomfortable sitting on grass while soaked to the skin. I wandered round for a few hours and became more uncomfortable as a bloke took a fancy to me and started to harass me despite being told that I was with my boyfriend.

Seeing my discomfort a group of Bon Jovi fans told the bloke to leave me alone and asked me to join them. That was lucky for me in 2 ways, one that it got rid of my stalker and the other in that we were in a marvellous position to watch the show, close to the stage but to the right – away from the main crush of fans.

It was just before 7.00pm and I was feeling tired, very wet and shivering from the cold. I couldn’t have been wetter if I had stood in a pool fully clothed. As I tried to warm my by now numb blue hands I was miserably wishing that I hadn’t agreed to go to the concert.

A few minutes later a helicopter arrived and shortly afterwards I could see the band climbing up the steps to the stage. I did a double take at seeing Jon, he was dressed in a tight tan leather jumpsuit which gave the impression of him being naked from a distance.

The band started up and for 2 hours my discomfort was forgotten as Bon Jovi launched into a string of their hits including Always, It’s My Life, You Give Love A Bad Name, Someday I’ll Be A Saturday Night and my long time favourite Living On A Prayer.

Imagine a sea of over 60,000 fans joining in with the choruses, swaying, waving and punching the air together. It was a spectacular sight on and off stage as Bon Jovi rocked the Superbowl. I was enthralled with the bands performance and stirred by the music and the interaction from the crowd.

I felt disappointed when a fireworks display ended the magnificent performance 2 hours on, but afterwards Bon Jovi reappeared for an air punching encore to round off the show.

I was still very wet and cold but warmed by a magnificent performance from the entire band. I absolutely recommend seeing Bon Jovi in concert and despite my discomfort I would go through it all over again – it was worth it.

As for my boyfriend I dumped him after the show. I don’t rate a guy that lets a woman he is supposed to care about wander off on their own for hours in a strange place and in a 60,000 plus crowd. He cared more about getting a place close to the stage than my safety. I probably ended up with a better view than he did and I was able to go to the loo when I wanted!

12 years on I am still a big fan of Bon Jovi songs and hope that I get a chance to see them in concert again, but perhaps an indoor concert!
