1 per week - Bon Jovi live @ Madison Square Garden

While I was thinking about which video to post today I remembered an article I read this week about Lady Gaga and the fact that she leads this year Forbes' top earning women in the music list.

I decided to check The World's 25 highest-paid musicians list of the same magazine.
I wanted to post a video of a band I appreciate and I've seen live already.

The first place belongs to U2 and the second to... Bon Jovi. The band that provided me an spectacular night this summer.

To be honest I don't really care about numbers and we all know that Bon Jovi thickets are very expensive - and therefore make a lot of money - but it's always good to see our favourite bands having success around the world, essentially when it's deserved.

Fact: The band grossed $200 million playing 74 shows over the past 12 months.

Unfortunately there isn't (yet?!) a DVD of this last tour so this is from their DVD live at Madison Square Garden.

themed week // Bon Jovi, You Give Love A Bad Name

Bon Jovi are a rock band from New Jersey in 1983. The members are Jon Bon Jovi (singer), Richie Sambora (guitarist), Tico Torres (drummer) and a current bassist Hugh McDonald.

Bon Jovi came from a member's joke made from Jon Bongiovi 's name.
They've made two hiatus - the first between 1990-1991 and the second between 1997-1999, due to other members solo projects.
They also were the first band to be part of MTV Unplugged.

Their work sold over 130 million copies. Bon Jovi's better known hits are It's My Like, Living On A Prayer, Always and You Give Love A Bad Name.

The band have released 11 albums - Bon Jovi (1984), 7800º Fahrenheit (1985), Slippery When Wet (1986), New Jersey (1988), Keep The Faith (1992), These Days (1995), Crush (2000), Bounce (2002), Have A Nice Day (2005), Lost Highway (2007) and The Circle (2009).

You Give Love A Bad Name is the song from Slippery When Wet, released as the first single in 1986. This song is about a woman who has rejected her lover.
The song reached the Billabong Hot 100 as number 1. In 2009, it was named the 20th greatest hard rock of all times by VH1.

"An angel's smile is what you sell

You promise me heaven, then put me through hell

Chains of love got a hold on me

When passion's a prison, you can't break free"
