Download Music Bon Jovi

1) I love music theory. But I'm not (currently) part of any academic institution where I can bounce ideas off of other theorists, much less other musicians. I've always been the only music teacher at my school, so I only get to bounce music theory ideas off of my teacher friends in group chats and anyone who wants to chat theory on twitter. So I'm going to make mistakes. There are some deeply incomplete analyses in the early entries on this blog that warrant further re-writing. I HOPE that you comment with other interpretations or other arguments. That being said...

3) There's a third thing! There's a reason we call it music "theory." No matter what Vox tries to tell you, this is not science. The mechanics of music theory are much more akin to grammar (unless we're talking 12-tone rows & set theory, and I would pay all of the money to hear a serial Bon Jovi composition) and the larger scale theoretical analysis can be compared to literary theory. And we all know there's a lot of that out there. This is my interepretation. From a teaching perspective, I think this song is a great one to analyze, to really dig into, because a couple of different theories regarding THAT key change in THIS song could all be correct.

If interpreted in G major, the D chord giving way to the new Bb major chord could also be interpreted as a deceptive cadence.

Considerations for Teaching: This song contains no profanity, offensive language or themes, or anything that would exclude it from a classroom curriculum. Because of this song's prominent place in pop culture, having been used in many other movies and television shows, many students may already know the song, leading them to learn something new about music they already think they known well.

Jon Bon Jovi began performing music live in 1975, at the age of 13, playing piano and guitar with his first band, Raze.[13][14] At 16, Jon met David Bryan and formed a band called Atlantic City Expressway.[13][15] Still in his teens, Bon Jovi played in the band John Bongiovi and the Wild Ones at clubs such as the Fast Lane and opening for local acts.[15][16] By 1980, he had formed another band, the Rest, and opened up for New Jersey acts such as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.[15][17][18] Also in 1980, Jon recorded his first single, "Runaway" in his cousin's studio, backed up by studio musicians.[15] The song was played by a local radio station on a compilation tape.[15]

The song began to get airplay in the New York area, then other sister stations in major markets picked up the song. In March 1983, Bon Jovi called David Bryan, who in turn called bassist Alec John Such and an experienced drummer named Tico Torres, both formerly of the band Phantom's Opera. Tapped to play lead guitar for a short tour supporting "Runaway" was Bon Jovi's friend and neighbor, Dave Sabo ("The Snake"), though he never officially joined the band.[20] He and Jon promised each other that whoever made it first, would help out the other. Sabo later went on to form the group Skid Row. Jon saw and was impressed with hometown guitarist Richie Sambora who was recommended by fellow bassist Alec John Such and drummer Tico Torres. Sambora had toured with Joe Cocker, played with a group called Mercy and had been called up to audition for Kiss. He also played on the album Lessons, originally intended for release in 1982[21] with the band Message for which Alec John Such was the bassist. Message was originally signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records label, although the album was never officially released at the time.[17] Meanwhile, WAPP, the station that had first played "Runaway" worked with WOR-TV (now WWOR-TV) in nearby Secaucus, NJ on a music video show, Rock 9 Videos, for a short time in 1984.[22]

Tico Torres was also an experienced musician, having recorded and played live with Phantom's Opera, The Marvelettes, and Chuck Berry. He appeared on 26 records and had recently recorded with Franke and the Knockouts, a Jersey band with hit singles during the early 1980s.

David Bryan had quit the band that he and Bon Jovi had founded in order to study medicine. While in college, he realized that he wanted to pursue music full-time, and was accepted to Juilliard School, a New York music school. When Bon Jovi called his friend and said that he was putting together a band, and a record deal looked likely, Bryan followed Bon Jovi's lead and gave up his studies.

Disillusioned with the music business and unhappy with the status quo, Jon Bon Jovi fired his management, business advisers, and agents (including long-time manager Doc McGhee) in 1991. Jon took on the management responsibilities himself by closing ranks and creating Bon Jovi Management. In October 1991, the band went to a Caribbean island of St. Thomas to discuss plans for the future. They managed to resolve their differences by allowing each member to speak about his feelings without interruption from each other.[citation needed] Upon resolving their issues, they headed back into the Vancouver Little Mountain studios with Bob Rock to work on the band's fifth album in January 1992.

That same year, bassist Alec John Such left the band, the first lineup change since Bon Jovi began. Hugh McDonald who was the bassist on "Runaway", unofficially replaced Such as bassist. Jon Bon Jovi said, regarding the departure of Such: "Of course it hurts. But I learned to accept and respect it. The fact that I'm a workaholic, studio in, studio out, stage on, stage off, want to be dealing with music day and night, doesn't mean everyone else has to adjust to that pace. Alec wanted to quit for a while now, so it didn't come as a complete surprise."[40]

In June 2007, Bon Jovi released their tenth studio album, Lost Highway. The album influences the band's rock sound with that of country music following the success of a country version of the band's 2006 single "Who Says You Can't Go Home". To promote the new album, Bon Jovi made several television appearances, including the 6th annual CMT Awards in Nashville, American Idol, and MTV Unplugged, as well as playing at the Live Earth concert at Giants Stadium.[43] They also performed ten promotional gigs in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Japan. As part of the 'tour', Bon Jovi were the first group to perform at London's new O2 Arena (formerly the Millennium Dome) when it opened to the public on June 24, 2007. The 23,000-seater stadium sold out within 30 minutes of tickets being released.[44]

On November 10, 2009, the band released their eleventh studio album, titled The Circle. The Circle is a return to rock n' roll after their Nashville-influenced album, Lost Highway. The album debuted at number one in the U.S., Canada, Germany and Japan. Bon Jovi headed out on the road once again on February 19, 2010, embarking on The Circle Tour.[50] Bon Jovi kicked off the stadium leg of the Circle Tour by making history. They played the first ever show at the brand new New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The three sold-out shows on May 26, 27 and 29, 2010 were a huge success. Bon Jovi's 12 night run at London's O2 Arena grossed $18,178,036 and seen them play to 187,696 fans. The Circle Tour was the highest-grossing concert tour of 2010 according to Billboard's annual Top 25 concert tours. So far the tour has played to 1,909,234 fans and has grossed $201.1 million from more than 80 venues reported to Pollstar.[51] For the second time in three years, Bon Jovi ranked as Billboard's & Pollstar's Top Touring Act of the Year. Bon Jovi was also ranked second on Forbes magazine's list of the world's highest paid musicians, earning an approximate $125 million income that year.[52]

During the band's first sabbatical between 1990 and 1991 Jon Bon Jovi recorded a solo album, Blaze of Glory, a soundtrack to the movie Young Guns II. Released in 1990, the title track, "Blaze of Glory" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1991 "Blaze of Glory" won an award for Favorite Pop/Rock Single at the American Music Awards[86] and awarded a Golden Globe, as well. The song also earned Jon Bon Jovi an Academy Award nomination and a Grammy nomination. The album featured guitarist Jeff Beck throughout, as well as guest musicians Elton John, Little Richard, Kenny Aranoff and Benmont Tench.

Torres used the opportunity to further pursue his painting while Bryan started writing and composing various musicals. In 1998, Sambora released his second solo outing titled Undiscovered Soul.

The band altered their sound dramatically in their next release, Lost Highway, blending influences from country music and country rock, a sound Jon Bon Jovi described as "a Bon Jovi album influenced by Nashville." Bon Jovi returned to a more typical rock sound on The Circle, which was described by Allmusic as "conjured by echoed, delayed guitars, shimmering keyboards, and spacious rhythms".[121]

Sheet music / tabs seems to differ from the bassline played (and from the original song). First and second pass of this section appear to be slightly different. Could you please take a look @JoshFossgreen

I was 16 years old when this album came out. As a teenager in those days, music was the best friend and best escapism. If you go through what teens go through you, the music helps you get through tough times. I always read the lyrics. I love the songwriting team of Jon Bon Jovi/Richie Sambora; As a fan, I hope that Jon, Richie, and Desmond get together again to write songs. What makes These Days a great album is the songs from start to finish.

It's been 16 years but the Internet is forever and that's why fans are jumping over a recently resurfaced Bon Jovi music video from 2002 featuring TV personality (and Matthew McConaughey's wife) Camila Alves and Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval before they were famous. e24fc04721
