Bon Jovi furious at Forbes lists ommission


Rocker Bon Jovi was furious he failed to make two of the famed Forbes lists for musicians.
The star Bon Jovi was first left off the Forbes Power 100 list of the world's most powerful celebrities lead in July by Oprah Winfrey.
He was unimpressed in July when he failed to make it into the Forbes Musicians' Rich List topped by U2.
'Jon kicked up a huge fuss and got his people to complain,' an insider told the New York Post.
Why he didn't make the musicians list he couldn't understand since Bon Jovi has been touring non stop since February.
'Their contemporaries U2 and Bruce Springsteen were on the list. Even Britney Spears was No. 5, and she hasn't done anything this year.'
A representative for Bon Jovi denied he had ever complained about his omissions.
'That’s just so ridiculous. Last year, the band took an eight month break from touring, so there was no expectation that they would rank on this year's list.

'Next year, different story: their recent tour is No. 1 in North America right now and No. 2 worldwide.'

Bon Jovi's stadium gigs Sambora loving


Next Australian gigs to Bon Jovi's will be big scale stadium shows, but guitarist Richie Sambora is promising an 'intimate' experience for fans.
In December the band hits Australia as part of their two year world tour to promote their latest album, The Circle.
The rock storys announced last month they would play shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
A second and final show for Sydney was announced on Wednesday, ahead of the start of general ticket sales on Thursday.
The band, which kicked off their tour in the US in February, has just completed a series of concerts at London's 02 Arena, and Sambora says he's loving the massive shows.
'Anybody that says they don't like it means they can't do it,' Sambora told AAP from his Los Angeles home during a week long break from the tour.
'The event is so much fun, to take part in that ... it actually comes down to us being able to do that and we do it very very well.
'Jon (Bon Jovi) happens to be one of the best frontmen when it comes down to making a stadium seem like a small place.'
Sambora says he's looking forward to coming back Down Under - the band was last here in 2008 - and he's promising Aussie fans a great concert experience.
'We're bringing the most amazing production, there's going to be a high-definition screen behind us that's 55 feet (16 metres) high and 115 feet (35 metres) long so everybody gets very close and personal to the band and it becomes an intimate kind of experience.'
With a career spanning almost three decades, Bon Jovi have sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts around the world.
The Circle is the New Jersey band's 11th studio album, released in November last year.
Before they hit our shores, Bon Jovi will also have released a best of double album, which contains five new songs and is due out in November. Aussie fans will be among the first in the world to hear some of those songs performed at a live concert.
Australia is one of 30 countries the band will visit during this world tour.
Sambora says the band has had a 'passionate love for Australia since the 80s' and the now single guitarist - he was married to TV star Heather Locklear and has dated actress Denise Richards joked that 'the girls have been very good'.

Bon Jovi looking for opening act in Winnipeg

WINNIPEG — Local musicians who have always dreamed of playing a stadium show can make that fantasy a reality this summer.

Bon Jovi is looking for opening acts in eight cities on its forthcoming The Circle Tour, including its Winnipeg concert at Canad Inns Stadium on July 17.

One local unsigned rock, pop or country act from each city will be selected to open for the New Jersey group as part of the Wanted: A SuperBand Tonight contest.

Bands can enter by uploading tracks to bonjovi.com, ourstage.com and Bon Jovi’s Facebook site by April 21.

Fans will then vote for their favourite acts and help whittle the contestants down to 20 by April 24.

Elimination rounds will take place until May 6 when the ultimate winners in each city will be selected by a jury made up of Bon Jovi’s management, promoter AEG and music talent website OurStage.

Fans that aren’t in bands but want to get in on the action can upload a video of themselves lip-synching or singing Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer to the group’s website for a chance to win tickets to the concert and have their clip played on video screens at the show.

Bon Jovi fits D.C.

Older and wiser aren't adjectives ordinarily associated with rock bands, but the Bon Jovi that will hit the stage at the Verizon Center on Monday has certainly changed and matured over the years.

Take the group's current album, "The Circle."
It's got songs such as "Work for the Working Man," which could almost be described as an economic policy anthem, "economic policy" also not words often associated with rock 'n' roll.
Still, guitarist and songwriter Richie Sambora said, "The Circle" isn't about "being on the road and girls and, you know, cars and things like that."
"We couldn't have written this album if the world wasn't in the state it was in," Sambora said in a conference call with reporters last month. "Jon and I were really conscious of what people were feeling around the world, you know, with the changes that were happening, especially in our world."


"The Circle," released in November, wasn't even supposed to be the next record for the band.
Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi started to write some new songs for a greatest hits album.
But then they were inspired by President Barack Obama's election, Sambora said, and rattled by the economic recession.


"And, I mean, I related to it particularly because my dad worked in a factory," he said, "and he got laid off periodically where he had to go find a job."


Paying attention to current events—and even just literally to the world around them—has helped Bon Jovi keep out of songwriting ruts, Sambora said.


He said the band's single, "Superman Tonight," is really the only song on the new album that could be called a "boy/girl" tune.

Jon Bon Jovi to help Hillary Clinton fight campaign debt


Jon Bon Jovi is set to help Hillary Clinton alleviate her debt, after she unsuccessfully campaigned to become President of the United States.

The singer will perform at a fundraiser for Clinton at Town Hall in New York on January 15, which is touted as "a final evening in support of Hillary Clinton for President Debt Relief".
Clinton accumulated millions in debt over the course of her campaign, $13.1 million of which were personal loans. She still owed $6.3 million last month, according to Yahoo.

Tickets for the intimate show range from $75 to $1,000.

Bon Jovi's Fears Over Hair Loss

Bon Jovi rocker Jon Bon Jovi fears he may be starting to lose his hair, and is already devising treatments to help save his prized locks.

The 46-year-old singer has long been known for his long, flowing tresses but has opted for a shorter style in recent years.


And he puts the change down to his receding hairline, which is starting to make him paranoid about ending up bald.


Bon Jovi says, "Oh, let me tell you, I am so worried (about my hair). I look at guys like Sting and think, 'Well, he's cool about it,' but I'm already losing it a bit and I'm so aware of it.
"Someone told me that you have to regularly massage your scalp, so I do that all the time. You look like a jerk, but it's got to be worth a shot, right?

Introduction To Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi is a Sayreville New Jersey hard rock band, Fronted by lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi whose real name is born John Francis Bongiovi, Jr.), the band initially got large-scale achievement in the 1980s.

Bon Jovi made in 1983 with lead singer Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, bassist Alec John Such, and drummer Tico Torres. Other than the exit of Alec John Such in 1994 (which peeled the line-up down to a quartet), the line-up has stayed the same for the past 26 years.

After two reasonably successful albums in 1984 and 1985, the group scored big with Slippery When Wet (1986) and New Jersey (1988), which sold a joint 19 million copies in the U.S. alone, charted eight Top Ten hits, and began the group into worldwide fame. After non-stop touring, the group went on hiatus after the New Jersey Tour in 1990, during which time Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora both released successful solo albums. In 1992, the group came back with the double platinum Keep The Faith and has since makeing a string of platinum albums throughout the 1990s and 2000s, also increasing their musical horizons, combining rock with such genres as pop, adult modern, and country. The group has also been credited with inspiring the MTV Unplugged series with their well-known sit-down acoustic presentation at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards.
