| 'Cover' your Ears! The 10 Worst Bon Jovi Cover Versions of All Time | | 2008-07-13 14:24:03 | | Bon Jovi's baffling popularity has continued unabated for two decades now, as this weekend's Central Park concert shows, however in our minds, there is nobody more deserving of both a solid punt to the arse, or a safe dropped on them from a sufficient height, than these crap-rock poster boys, whose music is so middle of the road, their tour bus should have its own dedicated lane.If only we could lace 'em up and kick 'em when they're down, but they're never down, churning out the same Springsteen-lite cacophony year after year. To honor the band, and also in the spirit of celebrating the worst of everything, we've decided to put together a tribute, of sorts, to Bon Jovi, the world’s most famous Bruce Springsteen tribute band/wimp rock quartet.Unlike some bands, the core group has remained relatively intact. This has enabled the Jersey boys with Swiss watch- like reliability, to consistently put out unspeakably awful music year after year. The sole exception of course, the booting bass | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| | Bon Jovi hits Europe | | 2008-05-21 20:26:00 | | Today the European leg of Bon Jovi’s Lost Highway Tour starts in Gelsenkirchen, Germany! If I was in Europe now, I know I would’ve gone there, as Minke and I have seen Bon Jovi perform there before... And Minke is actually going there today!It’s so strange to see Bon Jovi without Minke in Japan and it’s so strange that Minke is going to a concert in Europe without me, because we are each other’s Bon Jovi concert buddies. I really missed her during the Japan tour, a concert just isn’t the same with her jumping up and down next to me. But hey, we’re going to one concert together in less than 2 weeks in Frankfurt! Update (May 23): The band played Always live in Gelsenkirchen!! This is the song that instantly turned me into a Bon Jovi fan in 1995, and I've been wanting to hear it live for more than 13 years now... And it's not like I haven't been to enough concerts to increase the chance of hearing it live! Well, Minke I'm really, really jealous... But at least the song is on | | By: The Loulogue | | |

| | Not my last Bon Jovi karaoke marathon | | 2008-04-27 07:57:00 | | Today I attended what I thought was going to be my last Bon Jovi karaoke marathon. But not soon after we started singing I realized I could never give it up and decided I will travel all the way from Osaka to Komaki to be part of it again. Today we used the Joysound karaoke machine again, which means ‘only’ 66 different Bon Jovi songs, but four of them are live versions where the band actually appears on the big screen and you get to sing along with Jon. We sang all 66 from A to Z with a break somewhere in the middle to eat lunch/dinner. After that we sang all live versions again, or rather we all stared at the TV and just seriously enjoyed watching Bon Jovi perform four songs. After that we did something very uncharacteristically: we stopped singing. It didn’t happen intentionally though, we just got caught up in conversation and before we knew it our time in the karaoke room was up. It was another great marathon and I seriously can’t wait for the next one!The list of Bon Jovi | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | Bon Jovi karaoke marathon # 2 | | 2008-03-23 09:59:00 | | Today it was time for Bon Jovi karaoke marathon number 2! Which means 9 hours of interrupted singing of Bon Jovi songs in a karaoke room at Shidax Komaki, with several other Bon Jovi freaks, for a very low price as it’s all free time karaoke! This time Kumiko and I were joined by Kyoko, who was also their for karaoke marathon number 1, and a new participant named Aki, unfortunately Yuko couldn’t make it this time.Aki, Kyoko, Lou and Kumiko's winkingLast time, we sang all 66 Bon Jovi songs (and 22 more) on the Joy Sound karaoke machine. This time our goal was all 126 songs (including Jon Bon Jovi’s solo work) on the UGA karaoke machine. UGA has many more Bon Jovi songs than Joy Sound but we prefer Joy Sound nonetheless, because it has a few live versions, meaning Bon Jovi actually appears on the screen to sing with you and the sound of the karaoke music and the lyrics are way better. The UGA machine sometimes even seemed to make up whole chapters of lyrics all by itself, without J | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | Bon Jovi party at the Hard Rock | | 2008-02-11 07:52:00 | | Yesterday, I went to the Hard Rock Café with Kumiko to meet up with some of her other Bon Jovi friends to have a so-called Bon Jovi party, which basically means lunch, drinks (just hot tea in my case, I’ve gotten boring recently) and a lot of talking about Bon Jovi. We took a train to Nagoya station where we met up with Akemi, Kyoko and Yumi, all Bon Jovi fans which Kumiko met in January (like me). Akemi, Kyoko, Yumi, Kumiko & LouWe took a cab to the Hard Rock on account of the large amount of bags Yumi was carrying. The prospect of the taxi ride was very exciting to me as it was my first time in a Japanese cab, but obviously it was quite similar to taxis in other parts of the world, except for the automatically opening doors and defect seatbelts in the back. It was good that the others knew where to find the Hard Rock because it is nearly impossible to discover at first sight, as the big entrance was somewhere upstairs at the back of some building.Of course, the first thing I | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | Bon Jovi karaoke | | 2008-01-27 22:04:00 | | Kumiko was sitting (or rather dancing) two seats to the left from me during the Bon Jovi concert in Nagoya, and after the concert I found out that she lives in Inuyama too, about two blocks from my apartment. We went back to Inuyama together had some dinner at Shirokiya and decided we should do some Bon Jovi karaoke soon. And yesterday, we did!Last week I’d gone to some karaoke place in Komaki with Maiko, which was really good, but Kumiko knew a better one around the corner: Shidax. And it was totally awesome! First of all it was really cheap, we karaoke-ed for about 5 hours with unlimited drinks and it only costs us ¥1,700 each! And their karaoke machines were the best I’ve encountered thus far, with English options, colorful displays and loads of Bon Jovi songs.Our mission for the day: sing all the Bon Jovi songs in the machine. There were more than 60 different Bon Jovi songs in that machine (they also had another brand machine in other rooms with more than 120 Bon Jovi songs, | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | Help me choose which Jon Bon Jovi! | | 2008-01-19 06:07:00 | | Every month of the 2008 tour, the fanclub is choosing the best concert picture taken during concerts held in that month, and the winner gets their winning picture framed and signed by Jon Bon Jovi. Even though I couldn’t take pictures like I had hoped during the Japanese tour, I’d still like to submit a picture to that photo contest.. I mean the competition for Japanese concerts can’t be that stiff, except of course for those German girls with huge zoom lenses… And probably people are allowed to take pictures in Australia and New Zealand (these concerts are also in January), so people will probably be sending in loads of cool photos from those shows. But hey if you don’t try at all, you’ll certainly lose, right? I just can’t decide which picture I like best. The one the top left is Jon and his ‘mini-me’ and his mini-jukebox in Nagoya, and the one on the bottom right shows Jon on the big screen during ‘Raise Your Hands’ and someone’s raised hand in Tokyo.

| | Bon Jovi in Tokyo ~ Tokyo Dome (January 14, 2008) | | 2008-01-14 09:01:00 | | Tonight holds a new record: the highest number of failed pictures I have ever taken at a Bon Jovi concert! So I got over the whole being-afraid-to-take-pictures thing with the printout about the photo contest in my pocket and my fanclub membership card around my neck. Which I never even needed because as it turned out I was seated behind a rather tall guy who not only blocked my view of Richie but also the security’s view of me and my camera. My seat was located somewhere in between Jon and Hugh and just 5 rows from the stage (probably the best seat of all 3 nights), so the distance from the stage wasn’t really a problem either.'Raise Your Hands 'So how did I manage to royally screw up about 95% of my pictures? Well, it seems that when I selected my cute new tiny white camera in the store, I forgot to ask about it’s ability to take pictures of Jon, Richie and the rest in action in the dark (well, it’s hard in Japanese). Tonight, through the lens of my camera, the band members had glaring white skin, and the big video screen had a nasty brown glow about it. I tried and tried and tried, but almost all the pictures seemed to contain fuzzy balls of light with clothes on. I did manage a small number of half-decent-looking ones, but halfway I just gave up. Besides the battery of my camera was almost empty (that’s what you get when you spend the whole morning taking pictures all over Tokyo), and I wanted to save the last of it to record Bon Jovi waving goodbye to the audience. Anyway, I should seriously consider getting a new camera if I’m going to any Bon Jovi shows in Europe, because mine is seriously inadequate. I did manage to record some short videos tonight, just so that I would have something to share on here, and they communicate the atmosphere of the show better than pictures anyway.'Any Other Day' this time without the Tokyo Dome ceilingSo tonight’s show was broadcasted live on Tokyo’s WOWOW TV channel, and it was noticeable in the band’s at | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | Bon Jovi in Tokyo ~ Tokyo Dome (January 13, 2008) | | 2008-01-13 05:37:00 | | Tonight holds the record for the least amount of pictures I have ever taken at a Bon Jovi show, the show in Nagoya was the first record holder, but tonight totally shattered Nagoya’s record! The amount of security angrily (at least that is how their faces looked) scanning the crowd was triple the amount in Nagoya, and I could see a security guy’s face every which way I looked, which meant they could also see mine and therefore also see my camera if I held it in front of my face. So that was quite frustrating!! Already frustrated ;)After initially giving up on taking pictures, I spotted two German girls (they had flags that’s how I knew) blatantly taking pictures with a huge zoom right next to a security guard! I wondered if they were some kind of VIPs, but they seemed to have the same thing around their necks as yours truly: just a fanclub membership card. I was fascinated by them and my desire to take pictures flared up again! But I was too scared to be kicked out, so I only took very few really crappy pictures (as you can see displayed in this review).So right after the show ended (unfortunately just after their bow yet again), I hurried over to the German girls and asked them how they managed to take pictures all night without being escorted out. And they told me they were confronted by about 4 to 5 security fanatics at once and they just explained about the contest (they brought a printout) and showed their fanclub membership card, which admittedly does look pretty impressive this year. I’m not sure how hard they had to fight the security, but what is important is that they won! Ow, I love European stubbornness! And these sweet girls actually gave me their printout, so tomorrow it’s picture time at Tokyo Dome for Lou!Jon abruptly moving from left to right repeatedly just before 'Shout'So before I discovered the Germans, I was only thinking about how on earth I was going to take some pictures and it was way too distracting, so I decided to just enjoy | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | Busy day at the Loulogue due to Bon Jovi | | 2008-01-12 06:17:00 | | A small number of people read my blog and most of them I know personally, so usually the number of daily visitors to my site is very low and way below 100. Then I checked my blog stats again today and found this: What happened? Bon Jovi of course. A girl from the fanclub discovered my concert review from Nagoya and posted it on the fanclub forum. So lots of Bon Jovi fans have been coming in today to check out my ‘illegal’ pictures. Well, welcome everybody! And from the fanclub forum I can read they’ve all enjoyed it, so I’m glad that my blogging makes so many fellow Bon Jovi fanatics happy.I’m off to Tokyo early tomorrow morning to attend the two Tokyo Dome shows, and I’m definitely going to try to sneak shoot many more pictures. The official fanclub actually kicked off with a ‘Lost Highway Tour Picture Contest’ and is asking us to submit our best concert pictures and it’s started with the show in Nagoya. So the band doesn’t have a problem with us taking pictures (they never had in Europe either ), it’s the just Japanese security that is making the life of this picture-loving-fan harder.Maybe Jon could start tomorrow’s show with announcing (clearly and preferably in Japanese) that he welcomes all picture taking during the show, so that all the Japanese security will back off when I put my camera in the air. That way I can give the picture contest a try myself, because I’d love to win a ‘Jon Bon Jovi engraved iPod Nano’!Besides that I just hope to end up with many fun pictures to put on my blog to share with my Bon Jovi friends at home, and anyone else in cyberspace who’s craving another Bon Jovi fix. | | By: The Loulogue | | |

| | Bon Jovi in Nagoya ~ Nagoya Dome (January 11, 2008) | | 2008-01-11 09:30:00 | | Today at 13:00 I started posting the side-exit of the Shinkansen at Nagoya Station, because Bon Jovi was due to arrive there between 13:00 and 15:00. How did I know that? One of my students found out and left a message for me at the school! I have no idea where he got that information, but I wasn't going to waste that intelligence! I wasn’t the only one waiting for Bon Jovi, so that reinforced my belief that Bon Jovi was actually arriving there. After a little more than an hour they popped up out of the crowd, right in front of me, here at Nagoya Station! I've never seen Bon Jovi in my ‘hometown’ (Nagoya kind of is home these days), I was always ‘visiting’ Bon Jovi in some strange city, now they came to me… kind of. I tried to take pictures but the Japanese security kept ordering us to put our cameras away... I have no idea why they care so much about our taking pictures but all the Japanese fans were very obedient and put there cameras away and instead started waving at the band. But me, always the dumb foreigner, pretended I had no idea what they were talking about and I still managed to take a few pictures. They aren't great but it’s still better than nothing:Hugh McDonald at Nagoya StationBobby Bandiera and Richie Sambora at Nagoya StationDavid Bryan at Nagoya StationJon Bon Jovi at Nagoya StationJon and David in the van (no sign of Tico anywhere)Next stop was Nagoya Dome, but to my surprise very little was going on there, no huge crowds of exhausted people lying, sitting, standing around the stadium, and no huge posters promoting tonight’s show. I walked all around the dome (because I was looking for the fanclub-ticket-pick-up-place) and there was absolutely nothing exciting going on there. In Europe, we always spend more than 24 hours in and around the concert venue, and there’s always loads going on and lots of excitement in the air, here in Nagoya: nothing… When I picked up my tickets, I was slightly disappointed to find out we were se | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | | | Bon Jovi is coming to Japan | | 2007-11-09 09:09:00 | | Bon Jovi is on tour again and of course they're coming to Japan too, next January. I have been a Bon Jovi lunatic for many many years, and every tour I try to go to as many concerts as my bank account will allow. I usually try to average 5-6 concerts per tour, but the last tour had to be minimized to only 4 - Düsseldorf, Koblenz, Nijmegen & Stuttgart - because I was working on my final thesis and I had no job and therefore basically no income besides the change I got from selling my belongings online. I knew that keeping up my touring habits would be hard once I got to Japan, simply because I’d be working a full-time job with set vacation days. I was hoping that Bon Jovi would be nice and plan at least one concert on one of my days off, and I would go there even it is was in Hokkaido. But I made myself accept that I might not be able to attend any of the Bon Jovi gigs… Well the universe has been very kind to me and provided me with 3 concerts to attend: two in Tokyo and one i | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | | Bon Jovi in Stuttgart ~ Canstatter Wasen (May 27, 2006) | | 2007-03-03 10:40:00 | | Guido’s birthday was May 25th, and my mother had a very special birthday present for him: a weekend in Stuttgart, Germany including a Bon Jovi concert! And lucky Gyano and lucky me, were allowed to join the trip! So Nijmegen was not my last concert after all! And this one was still in May, so I wasn't breaking my own thesis rules either.Stuttgart is a long drive away from where we live so we left very early in the morning arriving at our hotel in Stuttgart somewhere in the early afternoon. We all freshened up and took the S-Bahn to the Canstatter Wasen in the center of Stuttgart. I have been to many Bon Jovi concerts but I have never seen anything like this before, they over organized the streams of people in such a way that it looked like total chaos. They made all the thousands of people walk through several streets of city center until finally being steered towards the entrance of a huge field.

| | Bon Jovi in Nijmegen ~ Goffert Park (May 25, 2006) | | 2007-03-01 20:39:00 | | A week after our Koblenz escapade, we went to Nijmegen. It was the day before Bon Jovi’s concert in the Netherlands and we already headed towards the concert venue. Even though we knew we weren’t going to spend a night in the fanclubline anymore (we enjoyed being out of the line way too much last time), we still loved being at the venue a day before. You really get to experience the calm before the Bon Jovi storm that way, and it’s great to orientate a bit, besides we had agreed to meet up with our new Dutch-Bon-Jovi-crew-buddies and have a night on the town with them. We arrived in Nijmegen and explored the huge grounds, shuddered after seeing all the nasty faces of the fanclubline posse again, and found the perfect parking spot near the backstage entrance.We took the citybus into the city center, where we went for dinner and afterwards we met up with Arne and Jurgen.

| | Bon Jovi in Koblenz ~ Kurfürstliches Schloß (May 17, 2006) | | 2007-02-27 12:03:00 | | Our second concert was going to be in the courtyard of a castle-ish building in Koblenz, Germany. We decided to go do the camping-out thing again, although honestly we were getting a bit fed up with it. But as we were only going to see 3 concerts this tour, we wanted to make the most of them. We left early, and we ended up being amongst the 5 first people in the fanclubline. Minke and I were number 4 and 5, meaning we would be two of the very first people to enter the pit and find a great spot on front row. So, we were getting ready for many, many hours of waiting and talking to some friendly fellow fans and ignoring the behavior of certain other fans who have been getting on our nerves for several tours. The fanclubline leading to the side entrance of the concert groundsWe made a small trip back to our car to get some supplies and our sleeping bags, when Minke needed to use the restroom. I suggested she'd use the restroom at the nearby hotel but she insisted (without really knowing w | | By: The Loulogue | | |
| | Bon Jovi in Düsseldorf ~ LTU Arena (May 13, 2006) | | 2007-02-26 10:42:00 | | Finally, three years after the Bounce tour Bon Jovi was back in Europe with the 'Have A Nice Day' tour! Of course Minke and I were very excited and wanted to go to a record number of concerts this year. I write wanted, because we were unable to actually do that :(. Back then, I had no income at all because I quit my job somewhere in August 2005 after moving from Maastricht to Belgium, so I paid for my concert tickets with money I earned by selling my belongings (that I cannot move with me to Japan anyway) online. Also I was in the middle of writing my Master Thesis (very important because in order to get a working-visa for Japan I had to graduate this year) and this Bon Jovi tour was smack-dab in the middle of my 3 months of thesis writing time. I ended up writing my thesis in 2 months (April & June) instead of 3, because Bon Jovi kept me busy in May. We actually prepared to go to a June concert as well, but I had to cancel it because my thesis deserved some of my time and attention | | By: The Loulogue | | |
