YouTube - Superman tonight

PSardon my french

You almost think when they sing the chorus the next lines should wild horses lol.

 

[U2girl]

No but there was a Bon Jovi song on the radio the other day that sounded like Coldplay in the chorus...this one

YouTube - BON JOVI - When We Were Beautiful - BRAND NEW SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM 'CIRCLE'

 

[ryancoke71]

You are right....they do sound similar...they even say "who's gonna"

 

[BVS]

I heard this song the other day, I was in the other room and it came on the TV and I was like, "I know that song, how the hell do I know a Bon Jovi song that wasn't on Slippery When Wet?" and then it dawned on me, oh yeah this is a rip off of WGRYWH...

 

[U2BROTHR]

My wife and I go to a TON of concerts together.....various groups. U2, Depeche Mode, Tool, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Feist, Rise Against.....

I will almost ALWAYS go see a live show.......even if I'm not a huge fan of the band.

My wife asked me if I'd like to go see Bon Jovi with her...















......I said, hell no.

. I don't really listen to Bon Jovi. I like some of the stuff off Slippery When Wet. But other than that I'm not much of a Bon Jovi guy.

 

[BluRmGrl]

I don't hear it.

 

[digitize]

I only hear it in the drumming.

 

[one4u2]

Bon Jovi

 

[nickoslo]

I only hear it in the drumming.

yeah, the druming starts almost identical...

 

[BGD75]

To me all of their songs sound too much alike

 

[Galeongirl]

wow, the chorus is a complete ripoff. The drums, the vocal melody, the guitar... shocking.

 

[U2387]

I am not someone who jumps to conclusions re: rip offs, but not only do I hear similarities, I think they are too great to not have been inspired by the U2 track we all know and love!

Very similar. Has this been commented upon by others, or is that only reserved for absurd comparisons like boots and wild, wild west??

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

 

[boorock74]

at the 3:10 mark - COME ON NOW LOVE>>>>>>>DON"T YOU LOOK BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just one example, but the similarities are obvious.
To JBJ - anyone see any recent interview with him?
Seems like he thinks the weight of the world is upon him.
Check out the documentary When We Were Beautiful.
This asswipe thinks he's John Lennon or something.

 

[Ellay]

Which one came first, superman or horses, Is superman a new bon jovi song?

 

[mjc]

I think the beginning of Bon Jovi's What do you got? sounds a bit like One.....

Wow great list there. I should take a hubby like that.

Especially if he thinks about Bon Jovi like that.

My hero


I think Bon Jovi is one of the worst fake ass rockstars out there. He can't even hit his notes.
And had an ego that will swallow Bono's ego in whole times 500x

I think it sounds a lot like One. The difference is that One is brilliant, and What Do You Got is not.

That said, I am a huge Bon Jovi fan. It make make you all throw up, they are my favorite band (don't worry, U2 are a close second). I would say that Jon Bon Jovi was the better singer up until about 2002, but Bono is the better singer since. Richie Sambora is better than The Edge, IMO. I do think Adam is MILES better than Bon Jovi's bassist (who isn't even an official member), and I'm not sure about the drummers.

I've seen the general opinion of Bon Jovi amongst U2 fans (not very pleasant), so I know I might be a little crazy here, but I'm speaking the truth. There's going to be an ongoing struggle between the two, and to be honest, U2 is the bigger band.

While on the subject:
Bon Jovi - Have A Nice Day - YouTube

Beautiful Day anyone?

 

[Casamares]

I can hear a big resemblance. Except this song overall is way worse than Horses.

 

[Globo14]

I'm probably opening up a can of worms here, but did you guys see THIS? I think it's pretty good, at least the first one.

I knew you'd come here

I remember when we were talking after Bon Jovi won an award you thought they didn't deserve.
