No, R11 lol. I get why kids had wagons. I even had a wagon in the late 80s. I'm just fascinated with these rock stars from the 80s at the moment. So, what's with the hair and pants?

R17 That's the first pic I've seen of him with the grey, I like it. There's something very sexy about people aging naturally instead of trying to cling to youth. He looks great.

I had a conversation with someone who worked on many stadium tours in the 90's. Most professional band- Bon Jovi. He said they were real pros and talked warmly of them. Least professional- Spice Girls. He said it was a miracle they made it on stage by the end of a tour of the US.

Oh for heaven's sake. He's straight. While not a fan, but have nothing against him, he looked as "gay" as any other rocker back in the day.

Never heard anything bad about him, behavior wise. His singing is mediocre at best. It seems he has good genes, some good cosmetic work - always a good combo. Seems to have not partied so hard it ruined his looks or decent personality.

He's still touring, adding to his income. Apparently, good with his money. Seems like a plain old nice guy. Simple as that.

OP, you think that Bon Jovi looks gay? This is Poison. This is how they really looked. They were a metal band, big pussyhounds and huge sex symbols to trashy teen girls everywhere. Something was going on culturally that prevented people from noticing that THEY ARE TRANSVESTITES. It is insane in retrospect. The Pixies and Nirvana destroyed this scene.

Bi. He even talked about it in an interview on one occasion where he admitted that he and Sambora got a little too close one night during Bon Jovi's heyday. I always thought he was cute, now I look back at those pictures of him from the mid 1980s and I feel kind of pervy since he looked so young. I'd have tapped that in a heartbeat! Still would probably, not that I'd have a chance.

His hair was ridiculous then @ R55.

I'm glad to hear the bisexual stories. I posted upthread that I know someone who's related to him (said he's normal, boring, really into football) but now that I'm thinking, I never bothered to ask about his sexuality, and I doubt he would've known anyway. I definitely trust someone who went to high school with him better.

If someone asked girls I went to school with about me, they would say everyone knew I was gay (and closeted), and there are two or three guys I had sex with growing up who could spill my beans were I to have remained closeted. High school is the key.

Yeah, makes sense, R70. My older sister adored them, and even my mother didn't mind their music. They were kind of "safe" I suppose.

by Anonymousreply 71May 21, 2017 10:38 PM

My mother (who was old even back then, and very prim) had no problem with their music. They were very safe and mainstream and not even remotely metal.

"Hair metal" is basically a misnomer. It's just 1970s classic guitar rock, cheesed up in several ways. It bears no resemblance to Black Sabbath or Slayer or any of the grim, heavy, blues-based, doom-y, Satanic type of stuff.

Hair metal bands wrote pop songs about girls and heartache for the most part, sometimes cars and parties.

In an interview Richie Sambora had given around the time of his departure from Bon Jovi, he'd outed Jon Bon Jovi's and LeAnn Rimes affair.

The affair happened during the recording of their duet, "Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore," and the filming of the same music video (2007). She initiated it. (This song was recorded for, and is a cut on,, Bon Jovi's 2007 "Lost Highway" CD.)

Apparently, during the affair, RS said Rimes demanded JBJ leave his wife to be with her, and she would leave her (first) husband as well. JBJ immediately ended the affair.

I can no longer find the interview on the internet (probably "scrubbed away"); but here's the referenced music video. The telling chemistry and body language between these two is clearly evident (Oh, yeah! They were surely f*cking then!), starting at the 1:58 mark.

I hadn't heard about the Bon Jovi and LeAnn Rimes affair but I do remember when Jon said something about how he'd had "lapses" in his marriage. He admitted to being bisexual in an interview he gave in the late 80s or early 90s. He also made a reference once to having sex with Richie Sambora. I think he said something like they got too close and things happened between them in their early days. That doesn't mean that Jon is still sleeping with guys though, but I can see how it could have happened between JBJ and Sambora in all those alcohol fueled nights together while recording or on tour.

Are you a fan-frau? You can't see him being a bottom? My friend hooked up with him in the mid 80s, Jon would have been about 22/23. And like my friend says, he was a skinny kid at the time, long before he got all ripped. The band was well known, but not all that famous at the time. I think the nervousness was because he didn't want anyone to know he was hooking up with guys. I believe my friend because in all the years I've known him he's never changed his story or made this claim about any other celeb, and he's been around a lot of them.
