Don’t miss Bon Jovi Oct. 9 at the Honda Center in Anaheim
Get ready for Bon Jovi’s “Because We Can: The Tour” on Oct. 9 at Honda Center in Anaheim. The tour is named after the lead single from the studio album “What About Now.”
It’s been almost 30 years since they released their studio album “Slippery When Wet” and went straight to commercial success. This glam metal rock band from New Jersey has come a long way from Poodle perms and Spandex in the mid-80s to surviving Grunge, Britpop, Alt/modern rock and other genres. Bon Jovi has been cranking out hits and headlining stadiums for all these years because of their timeless songs and memorable melodies that are still exciting to hear today. The band has produced several number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Bad Medicine,” and “I’ll Be There for You.” According to Wikipedia, Bon Jovi sold more than 130 million records worldwide.
In the 80s, the Jersey rockers launched a thousand teen magazine covers and have driven their fans to tears and cheers. I remember during my teen years, I used to buy a lot of youth oriented publications from fashion magazines like Teen, Seventeen, YM, Young Miss to Tiger Beat, Star Hits and Bop. After school, my childhood friends and I would walk to Thrifty or Woolworth in Montebello and just hang out at the magazine rack. We browsed through fan magazines and got all giddy looking at shiny full page pin-ups of our idols like Bon Jovi while having a double scoop of thrifty ice cream.
Concert enthusiast, Cameron Scheuplein said, “One of my favorite concerts this season, Bon Jovi never ceases to amaze me. When they play their older albums, they bring new life to those old songs.” Bon Jovi will once again seduce their audience with both recent and nostalgic mega hits and will continue to set the bar with an innovative high tech production and state of the art concert.
