Jon Bon Jovi - Non-Stop Songwriter Jon Bon Jovi

Richie Sambora believes bandmate Jon Bon Jovi is so talented he can make music out of anything.
Jon Bon Jovi can pull songs "out of his butt".
Bon Jovi's frontman - who was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 2009 - can produce hit tracks from seemingly nowhere, according to his bandmate Richie Sambora.
The guitarist told BANG Showbiz: "Jon's like the quarter-back and he'll be pulling songs out of his butt!"
Despite having such a huge back catalogue, Bon Jovi have not stopped writing new material.
Richie explained: "About three weeks ago Jon calls me up and says, `Let's write a couple more songs'. So we wrote a couple more songs and they turned out really good. We called the band and got them back in the studio and now we're cutting them."
The group are currently mid-way through a 12-night residency at London's O2 Arena - which kicked off last Monday (07.06.10) - and have promised fans can expect something different every night.
Richie said: "In this place you're going to see a change every night because there's repeat clientele and it makes it different for us.
"Sometimes we'll just pick an obscure song we haven't done in 25 years. We've got 12 studio albums and a box set of like 50 songs that were previously unreleased.
"I think our master set list is somewhere around 90 songs."

BON JOVI PLAY ON O2 ARENA ROOF

We have all heard, read or seen some of the outrageous stunts that rock bands pull-off during their shows, only a few weeks ago I saw KISS frontman Paul Stanley fly across Birmingham’s NEC Arena for a rendition of ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’. However, putting the zip-lines and pyrotechnics to shame, Bon Jovi went a step further this week by playing ON TOP of London’s O2 Arena!

Last Monday (7h June) performing their opening gig of a 12-night residency at the prestigious venue, Bon Jovi pulled out all the stops on thrilling the crowds when the band performed on top of the dome while being beamed to the video screens flanking the stage inside. Unbelievable as it may seem but The Telegraph reports that Screen were placed in the venue’s outside area, Peninsula Square, which has been used to host free gigs and video displays in the past. Standing at over 50 metres high, mountaineers were drafted in to help the band ascend the former Millennium Dome, with its protruding steel masts slating out of the roof at 100 metres high.

Bon Jovi will be familiar with the venue having opened the arena on June 24th 2007. The band’s support at the show included One Republic and Kid Rock with unsigned band The Side warming up the crowds having won a support slot through a national online competition.
