1
00:00:01,793 --> 00:00:03,504
We're at a cusp now,
2
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:05,339
having been at this for 20-plus years.
3
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:06,757
I sold 100 million albums.
4
00:00:06,757 --> 00:00:09,051
I could play stadiums around the globe.
5
00:00:09,051 --> 00:00:10,385
But we're-we're in danger
6
00:00:10,385 --> 00:00:13,013
of becoming The Rolling Stones
and The E Street Band
7
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,849
in that you don't sell
as many records as you used to,
8
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:17,100
and on the radio as often,
9
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,685
- but the legacy is there.
- Yeah.
10
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:20,270
And people are gonna come and see you live
11
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:22,481
because they're accustomed
to that kind of a show.
12
00:00:22,481 --> 00:00:24,691
I would not be shocked
if 15 years from now,
13
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:27,903
if you wanted to be,
as you're approaching 60,
14
00:00:27,903 --> 00:00:30,280
you're gonna be up on stage
and I'm gonna be in that audience.
15
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,990
We could be. We could be.
16
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:34,952
At this point, somebody had asked me
a very logical question.
17
00:00:34,952 --> 00:00:37,037
They said, "You're past the point
of breaking up, aren't you?"
18
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:39,540
And I said, "That's a very smart question,
because the answer is yes."
19
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,542
- Yeah.
- All the trials and tribulations

of youth and money and success
21
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:45,045

22
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,714

we're all through that.

And we have a show that night.
128
00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:52,644
Now I gotta make a decision.
129
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:57,649
Tell 15, 18,000 kids to go home...
or play.
130
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:00,986
When you get the machine up and running,
131
00:06:00,986 --> 00:06:05,407
meaning when you have
150 people on the road
132
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:06,783
and dates booked
133
00:06:07,326 --> 00:06:10,704
and you're at the beginning
of this juggernaut tour...
134
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:13,540
We had commitments
and tickets sold
135
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:16,418
and road crew that were depending
on paychecks
136
00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:19,463
and concert promoters
and fans who were traveling.
137
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:23,467
When you pull one of those things
out of the equation,
138
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,802
what do you do?
139
00:06:25,802 --> 00:06:27,763
You know, do you keep going?
140
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:31,850
Fuck, man,
there was a show.
141
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:33,769
We had a show that night.
142
00:06:33,769 --> 00:06:36,897
And, subsequently,
80 other shows on that tour.
143
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,399
Being in the role
of tour manager,
144
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,236
it was a scary moment.
145
00:06:42,236 --> 00:06:44,988
'Cause when you see somebody
146
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:49,826
who was such a major part
of this organization,
147
00:06:49,826 --> 00:06:51,495
but can now no longer be there,
148
00:06:51,954 --> 00:06:55,749
we all as crew thought
we were goin' home.
149
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:59,336
By the time
Richie finally didn't show,
150
00:06:59,336 --> 00:07:02,339
Bobby Bandiera, who was
the second guitar player at the time,
151
00:07:02,339 --> 00:07:04,591
and Jon had to cover all the guitar parts.
152
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,595
Between me and Bobby,
and thank God there was a teleprompter,
153
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:09,847
'cause I don't know all the words,
154
00:07:09,847 --> 00:07:11,515
I know the words I'm supposed to sing.
155
00:07:11,974 --> 00:07:14,268
So I sang some of 'em,
he sang some of 'em.
156
00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:16,979
He did guitar solos,
I did the keyboard solo.
157
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:19,231
Anything, you know, to cover for it.
158
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:24,111
Jon is very good
at preparing for the worst.
159
00:07:24,111 --> 00:07:28,866
There was a reason why there was
a second guitar player.
160
00:07:28,866 --> 00:07:31,243
It was certainly expected
for it to happen.
161
00:07:31,243 --> 00:07:33,328
Not if, it--
it's just a matter of when.
162
00:07:33,996 --> 00:07:36,290
And I remember
Richie's rig was there
163
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:39,418
and they just kinda put it,
the microphone down,
164
00:07:39,418 --> 00:07:40,502
you know, and the look.
165
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:41,962
And it was like, oof.
166
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:45,090
You know, and keeps lookin' over
and there's a different guy there.
167
00:07:47,217 --> 00:07:51,388
We were quite angry
and disappointed and shocked.
168
00:07:52,222 --> 00:07:54,850
But we'll get through the night
and we'll figure it out.
169
00:07:59,313 --> 00:08:02,274
You lose
an integral member of the band.
170
00:08:02,274 --> 00:08:05,694
Not just the guitar playing
but that voice.
171
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:09,239
We didn't know
if Richie was going to be gone
172
00:08:09,239 --> 00:08:12,451
for a show, a week, a leg.
173
00:08:12,951 --> 00:08:15,829
At the time,
you didn't wanna believe
174
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:19,249
that you wouldn't see him
on that stage again.
175
00:08:20,042 --> 00:08:22,544
The one thing
about Bon Jovi is it is a brotherhood.
176
00:08:22,544 --> 00:08:26,256
These guys do love each other,
and it extends around.
177
00:08:26,256 --> 00:08:28,550
That's the great thing
about Jon as a leader.
178
00:08:29,051 --> 00:08:31,094
I mean, there isn't one person
that works with Bon Jovi
179
00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:34,181
that doesn't buy in
and get it and believe in it.
180
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,974
There's a respect for the band
181
00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:38,352
that only comes from them
being good at what they do.
182
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:42,689
So now John is like,
"I gotta do more."
183
00:08:42,689 --> 00:08:44,650
You-you couldn't ask him
to do anymore.
184
00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:48,028
He gives 150% every show.
185
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,571
I saw the strain.
186
00:08:50,364 --> 00:08:53,200
I mean, it was...
187
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:56,787
There was never
a moment where Jon said,
188
00:08:56,787 --> 00:08:57,996
"The show can't go on."
189
00:08:57,996 --> 00:08:59,081
The show always goes on,
190
00:08:59,081 --> 00:09:00,999
because he doesn't wanna
disappoint those fans
191
00:09:00,999 --> 00:09:03,210
and, and he's going
to continue to move forward.
192
00:09:03,585 --> 00:09:04,920
But it doesn't make it any easier
193
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,756
when, you know, you're trying
to plug in different pieces
194
00:09:07,756 --> 00:09:09,758
and different parts to create a whole.
195
00:09:10,592 --> 00:09:13,470
I run this like a quarterback,
but you can't do it
196
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:15,889
without the line and receivers,
you know what I mean?
197
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:18,016
So, it's the Henry Ford theory.
198
00:09:18,016 --> 00:09:20,310
You have to surround yourself
with the best people.
199
00:09:20,978 --> 00:09:22,271
Yeah, that's it.
200
00:09:23,939 --> 00:09:25,816
Is that you
running a pass?
201
00:09:25,816 --> 00:09:27,568
100%.
I'm waiting for the ball.
202
00:09:27,568 --> 00:09:28,944
- Yeah, right.
- Right.
203
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:33,323
Everybody contributed.
Everybody.
204
00:09:33,323 --> 00:09:35,075
'Cause we had to. We had to.
205
00:09:35,075 --> 00:09:36,702
I've got a job to do.
206
00:09:36,702 --> 00:09:38,370
It's-it's next man up.
207
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:39,705
We had 80 more shows to do,
208
00:09:39,705 --> 00:09:42,165
and there was no way
that I wasn't going to do it.
209
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:44,960
That was a pivotal point
in the band right there.
210
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,672
Because that's the two front guys
that work together,
211
00:09:49,298 --> 00:09:50,465
that wrote together.
212
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:54,011
And what was more important
was not so much that,
213
00:09:54,011 --> 00:09:57,014
but you try to help somebody,
but it's difficult.
214
00:09:57,014 --> 00:09:59,349
And you love 'em, and it hurts.
215
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:01,643
We looked and go,
"I don't wanna walk away.
216
00:10:01,643 --> 00:10:04,021
"Tico didn't wanna walk away.
Jon doesn't wanna walk away.
217
00:10:04,021 --> 00:10:05,314
We wanna be here."
218
00:10:05,314 --> 00:10:09,026
And it really blows that
we didn't have the guys
219
00:10:09,026 --> 00:10:10,402
we started out the journey with.
220
00:10:10,736 --> 00:10:11,904
That's heartbreaking.
221
00:10:11,904 --> 00:10:14,281
So I think that's,
that's more therapy.
222
00:10:15,073 --> 00:10:16,658
You could quit working
tomorrow if you want.
223
00:10:16,658 --> 00:10:18,035
Yeah, why do people say that?
224
00:10:18,035 --> 00:10:19,786
Why-- Do people say that
to you all the time?
225
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:21,496
- Yeah.
-"You can quit and put your feet up."
226
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:24,124
No, you can't. I-I don't want to.
227
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:26,502
I love my job.
Why would I wanna quit?
228
00:10:26,502 --> 00:10:28,462
It wasn't ever about money.
229
00:10:28,462 --> 00:10:30,088
It's not about money,
it's not about success.
230
00:10:30,088 --> 00:10:33,050
It was about doing the art forms,
the thing you love to do.
231
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:36,053
I signed this record deal alone in 1983.
232
00:10:36,053 --> 00:10:38,597
There was no, "I'm quitting the band
233
00:10:38,597 --> 00:10:40,849
because the guitar players
aren't showing up."
234
00:10:40,849 --> 00:10:41,975
I got a hole to fill.
235
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:46,146
It sucks, but I'm filling the hole.
236
00:10:46,688 --> 00:10:49,441
The decision,
that was not hard to make.
237
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:51,443
It just hurt to make it.
238
00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:57,699
No, not for lack of fucking tryin'.
239
00:10:57,699 --> 00:10:59,493
Uh, guitarist Richie Sambora
240
00:10:59,493 --> 00:11:02,120
will skip the first leg
of the band's spring tour
241
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,330
for, quote, "personal reasons."
242
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:06,291
Sambora missing previous
tour dates in 2011
243
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:08,126
for substance abuse treatment.
244
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:10,504
It wasn't the first time.
245
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:14,132
Back in 2011,
I remember getting a call
246
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:17,177
and Jon said, you know,
"Who should I call?
247
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:18,679
Do you know somebody?"
248
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:22,724
So I was like,
"Well, I know this guy.
249
00:11:24,101 --> 00:11:27,020
"And he's Canadian, and he's really nice,
250
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:30,732
and he sings his ass off,
and he, and he's a great player."
251
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:33,735
Hey, man, what's going on?
It's Phil X.
252
00:11:33,735 --> 00:11:36,238
Glad to be back.
Had a gr-- uh, killer summer.
253
00:11:36,238 --> 00:11:39,074
Just went up to Canada,
um, taught at a band camp,
254
00:11:39,074 --> 00:11:40,242
which was amazing.
255
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:41,660
You know, a bunch of kids,
256
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:43,912
teaching 'em how to rock for six days.
257
00:11:44,329 --> 00:11:46,915
Jon called him and said,
"Hey, if I need a guy,
258
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:48,083
who would be the guy?"
259
00:11:48,625 --> 00:11:52,087
And at the time,
Shanks had been watching
260
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:55,757
a ton of my vintage
guitar demos on YouTube.
261
00:12:00,596 --> 00:12:03,765
When I met him
in his studio, he's like,
262
00:12:03,765 --> 00:12:06,018
"I just, I couldn't stop watching
your videos last night.
263
00:12:06,018 --> 00:12:08,437
"And you can play and sing
anything and you're funny.
264
00:12:08,437 --> 00:12:09,521
It's just entertaining."
265
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:10,606
What's up?
266
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:16,653
Two weeks later,
Shanks called me and he said,
267
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:18,113
"I think I have a gig for you.
268
00:12:18,614 --> 00:12:21,450
How do you feel about filling in
for Richie Sambora?"
269
00:12:21,450 --> 00:12:25,245
I'm like,
"That sounds impossible."
270
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:26,830
That sounds, like, totally...
271
00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:28,165
there's no way
that could happen.
272
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:32,294
This guy might be an alternative
273
00:12:32,294 --> 00:12:35,714
while our friend figures out
what he wants to do.
274
00:12:36,548 --> 00:12:37,925
The strange part for me was
275
00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:40,010
that sounded like an intense
276
00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:42,429
and complicated position to be in.
277
00:12:43,055 --> 00:12:45,390
'Cause how about getting
a gig in a mega band
278
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:48,018
but at somebody else's detriment?
279
00:12:48,018 --> 00:12:51,146
It was an awkward spot.
And at one point, I didn't wanna do it.
280
00:12:52,147 --> 00:12:55,567
You're asking a really
incredibly talented musician
281
00:12:56,151 --> 00:12:57,694
who has a style of his own.
282
00:12:58,237 --> 00:13:01,031
Now he has to mimic
what was on those records
283
00:13:01,031 --> 00:13:02,282
and what Richie would play.
284
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:04,117
That's an impossible task.
285
00:13:06,954 --> 00:13:09,540
People ask me
if I was nervous a lot.
286
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:10,999
'Cause it was 50,000 people.
287
00:13:12,459 --> 00:13:13,669
I just stayed out of my head.
288
00:13:13,669 --> 00:13:17,130
"Dude, you've been playing
and singing your entire life.
289
00:13:17,631 --> 00:13:20,759
Now it's just Bon Jovi songs.
You could totally do this."
290
00:13:21,593 --> 00:13:24,263
And I walked on stage
and I just knew
291
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:28,141
if I didn't hold it together,
that I'd be going home.
292
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:31,645
One show, it didn't work.
"Thanks, see ya."
293
00:13:33,355 --> 00:13:37,651
Musically, I needed to play
keeping Richie in mind,
294
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:40,737
Jon in mind, the band in mind,
the fans in mind.
295
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:43,031
I had to respect all four
of those ingredients.
296
00:13:44,116 --> 00:13:46,326
Send this out to our brother Richie.
297
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:52,040
And Jon
didn't even mention me,
298
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,710
until, like, 90 minutes later
into the encore.
299
00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:59,089
"I wanna thank Phil X
for helping us out today."
300
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:01,508
But for the 90 minutes
that we were on stage,
301
00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:02,593
that he didn't say anything,
302
00:14:02,593 --> 00:14:05,971
I could sense 50,000 people
aggressively confused.
303
00:14:06,972 --> 00:14:08,223
"Who the fuck is that?"
304
00:14:09,641 --> 00:14:13,103
Phil X came in and, as Jon
would put it, saved the day.
305
00:14:13,103 --> 00:14:17,357
It's a different animal playing
with Phil than with Richie.
306
00:14:17,941 --> 00:14:21,612
You know, obviously
personality-wise, style-wise.
307
00:14:24,698 --> 00:14:28,410
The first time in 2011,
he was an easy fit.
308
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:30,120
Real pleasure to be around.
309
00:14:30,621 --> 00:14:32,289
His demeanor is unbelievable.
310
00:14:32,289 --> 00:14:35,417
He got us through
that dozen or so shows,
311
00:14:35,417 --> 00:14:36,835
and we said our goodbyes.
312
00:14:37,169 --> 00:14:43,091
So 2013, I called Phil X
from Calgary and said,
313
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:45,385
"Do you still have that notebook
with the chords?"
314
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:46,512
And he said, "Yeah."
315
00:14:47,346 --> 00:14:50,307
"Good, there's an airplane
coming to get you.
316
00:14:50,307 --> 00:14:52,684
Will you do these shows
until he gets it together?"
317
00:14:52,684 --> 00:14:53,769
"Yeah."
318
00:14:53,769 --> 00:14:55,187
Gets on the plane. God bless him.
319
00:14:55,187 --> 00:14:58,148
The next day, he performs cold.
320
00:15:00,901 --> 00:15:03,987
[♪ "That's What The Water Made Me"
playing]
321
00:15:13,539 --> 00:15:17,000
He came in, you know, as a temporary fix.
Could've been a day or a week.
322
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,128
♪ Baby, baby, baby ♪
323
00:15:20,128 --> 00:15:23,173
♪ No use in trying to save me ♪
324
00:15:23,173 --> 00:15:27,594
Hugh, David, Tico, and I had
to plug a dark hole
325
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:29,805
on the other side of the stage
and fill that
326
00:15:30,389 --> 00:15:32,140
20% in the show.
327
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:37,312
It's good to be back here.
Now, I'm sure you heard,
328
00:15:37,896 --> 00:15:40,858
and I got a little bit of explainin'
and I'm gonna move on.
329
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:43,485
Richie's not here
with us tonight,
330
00:15:44,695 --> 00:15:45,988
and I understand.
331
00:15:46,697 --> 00:15:49,074
Personal matters are keeping him
at home right now.
332
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:52,536
But I promise you this,
for the next two and a half hours
333
00:15:52,536 --> 00:15:54,371
I'm gonna take you
on a roller-coaster ride
334
00:15:54,371 --> 00:15:55,914
like you've never been on.
335
00:15:55,914 --> 00:15:57,374
One, two, three, four.
336
00:15:57,624 --> 00:16:00,836
♪ Close the door,
leave the cold outside ♪
337
00:16:01,503 --> 00:16:05,465
I learned a lot from Jon
as a frontman, as a band leader.
338
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:08,302
And having the help of the whole band
was, like, unbelievable.
339
00:16:08,302 --> 00:16:09,636
Tico's, like, tempos.
340
00:16:10,012 --> 00:16:12,764
And then David's helping me with chords,
and Hugh's helping me with chords,
341

I love that solo on that record.
347
00:16:25,235 --> 00:16:27,738
And over the years,
Richie transformed it
348
00:16:27,738 --> 00:16:29,573
into this completely different solo.
349
00:16:29,573 --> 00:16:32,492
For me, if I do that solo,
people are gonna like,
350
00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:34,036
"He's not doing the solo
from the record."
351
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:37,539

Phil can't stray from the records.

He was able to immediately,

354

And I mean immediately.
We didn't cancel a single show.
355
00:16:59,561 --> 00:17:00,646
Good morning again.
356
00:17:00,646 --> 00:17:04,274
Rock Band Bon Jovi played two shows
in Melbourne over the weekend.
357
00:17:04,274 --> 00:17:06,818
The first shows
on their Australian tour,
358
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,445
which is pretty much sold out.
359
00:17:08,445 --> 00:17:11,448
In fact, it's the biggest tour of 2013
360
00:17:11,448 --> 00:17:14,910
despite the absence
of lead guitarist Richie Sambora.
361
00:17:17,621 --> 00:17:20,123
You know, that first year,
362
00:17:20,791 --> 00:17:22,543
I mean, I went
to a lot of those shows
363
00:17:22,543 --> 00:17:24,419
because there was
a big transition.
364
00:17:24,962 --> 00:17:26,964
I think Phil had
a much harder time.
365
00:17:26,964 --> 00:17:30,008
Because I used to see
the signs out in the crowd.
366
00:17:30,634 --> 00:17:32,845
Now imagine walking on stage
and they say, "Where's Richie?"
367
00:17:33,262 --> 00:17:35,013
I saw those signs.
368
00:17:35,013 --> 00:17:36,473
Obviously, at the beginning,
369
00:17:36,473 --> 00:17:38,725
there's people holding up signs
saying, "Where's Richie?"
370
00:17:39,852 --> 00:17:43,355
And you have people,
"It's not Bon Jovi without Richie."
371
00:17:43,355 --> 00:17:45,232
But then you have people pouncing
on them saying,
372
00:17:45,232 --> 00:17:46,859
"Well, if you were true fans,
373
00:17:47,317 --> 00:17:50,237
you'd appreciate the band
just wanting to play."
374
00:17:51,488 --> 00:17:53,031
I think our fans
could have ended us.
375
00:17:53,198 --> 00:17:55,075
I think, you know, it's like,
you know, Mick and Keith.
376

You know, if Keith goes,
I don't know what The Rolling Stones are.
377
00:17:58,579 --> 00:18:02,457
The fans saw that it wasn't us

I think they saw

When you look back and you see
on the 30th anniversary of the band,
396
00:18:48,712 --> 00:18:50,506
you're going to be
the biggest tour on the planet,
397
00:18:50,506 --> 00:18:51,632
who would've thought?
398
00:18:51,632 --> 00:18:53,425
And then at the end of the day,
you know,
399
00:18:53,425 --> 00:18:55,469
there was disappointment
and sadness and anger,
400
00:18:55,469 --> 00:18:58,222
but it didn't matter to the public.
401
00:18:58,222 --> 00:18:59,890
And it was the number-one
grossing tour
402
00:18:59,890 --> 00:19:01,892
in the world that year,
and that was that.
403
00:19:06,104 --> 00:19:09,399
I think that the idea
that we have a lot to say
404
00:19:10,484 --> 00:19:14,238
and now nothing to prove
pretty much sums it up for me.
405
00:19:14,238 --> 00:19:15,364
You know, this is who we are.
406
00:19:15,364 --> 00:19:17,824
This is where we are
in our lives and our careers.
407
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:19,660
Sure there's been speed bumps
along the way.
408
00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:22,329
Nobody expected Richie to quit
in the middle of the night.
409
00:19:22,329 --> 00:19:24,081
But at the end of the day,
410
00:19:24,081 --> 00:19:26,333
that's what makes
the journey so amazing.
411
00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:29,086
That nobody knows where
their life is gonna lead 'em.
412
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:35,050
We're back.
413
00:19:40,472 --> 00:19:43,308
Uh, Jon, uh,
Jon and the band,
414
00:19:43,308 --> 00:19:46,061
uh, knew exactly why I didn't get
on the plane that night.
415
00:19:47,312 --> 00:19:48,522
That's-- That part again.
416
00:19:48,522 --> 00:19:51,900
People have this preconceived notion
of Richie Sambora.
417
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:53,735
'Cause they read
about me in the tabloids,
418
00:19:53,735 --> 00:19:56,655
because they see
the Bon Jovi machine.
419
00:19:56,655 --> 00:19:58,824
It's a band, you know.
420
00:19:58,824 --> 00:20:02,160
It's really, really hard
to be married to four other guys...
421
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,454
... and be in close quarters
422
00:20:04,454 --> 00:20:07,875
and that coupled with, um,
423
00:20:08,876 --> 00:20:10,335
my daughter coming of age.
424
00:20:10,335 --> 00:20:12,462
She said, "Hey, man,
you should, you know, clean your act up."
425
00:20:12,462 --> 00:20:14,256
You know, that was a big,
a big thing for me.
426
00:20:14,256 --> 00:20:17,176
'Cause she's my kid. So we were going
through it as a family together.
427
00:20:17,718 --> 00:20:20,554
24/7, 30 years,
you don't get to come home.
428
00:20:20,554 --> 00:20:22,139
There's a huge sacrifice to that.
429
00:20:22,139 --> 00:20:24,641
You know, I missed a lot
of my daughter's life.
430
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:28,103
I went to rehab
with another worker
431
00:20:28,103 --> 00:20:31,148
who's writing 21-page reports,
everything.
432
00:20:31,148 --> 00:20:33,483
Your fans are so disappointed
433
00:20:33,483 --> 00:20:35,319
- that you're not touring right now.
- I know. I know.
434
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:38,697
You know what?
Listen, I love my fans, I love the band.
435
00:20:38,697 --> 00:20:42,034
You know, Jon and I had been relying
on each other for 30 years.
436
00:20:42,284 --> 00:20:45,829
Any chance we'll see you
at that London gig in July?
437
00:20:45,829 --> 00:20:48,415
Uh, I think that's too soon.
That's too soon.
438
00:20:48,832 --> 00:20:50,334
You know, you always hold out for hope.
439
00:20:50,334 --> 00:20:53,128
I think it's sort of like
you're in a marriage
440
00:20:53,128 --> 00:20:56,131
or family that has a situation like this
441
00:20:56,131 --> 00:20:58,509
and you're always hoping
that the family member
442
00:20:58,509 --> 00:21:01,220
is gonna get better
and everything's gonna be peachy.
443
00:21:02,262 --> 00:21:04,139
Well, I guess
if you're in the mafia,
444
00:21:04,139 --> 00:21:06,141
the only thing you could
possibly do is disappear.
445
00:21:07,142 --> 00:21:08,268
And, um...
446
00:21:11,355 --> 00:21:12,564
I did.
447
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:17,069
I think it's-- it was
a combination of several things
448
00:21:17,528 --> 00:21:23,075
that he allowed to build up
and not discuss with anybody.
449
00:21:23,408 --> 00:21:26,161
So he, I think, reached
his own breaking point.
450
00:21:26,161 --> 00:21:29,373
A lot of energy was spent
on getting him back.
451
00:21:29,373 --> 00:21:32,584
And it took a while
before it sunk in
452
00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:35,212
that he just doesn't wanna
come back, and that's that.
453
00:21:35,754 --> 00:21:37,464
But I know Jon carried that
for quite some time,
454
00:21:37,464 --> 00:21:39,049
that he felt it was his fault.
455
00:21:45,264 --> 00:21:50,060
I haven't.
Ten years later, I still haven't.
456
00:21:52,145 --> 00:21:55,232
The relationship
within your band, what's it like?
457
00:21:55,232 --> 00:21:56,859
I mean, you've been together
a long time.
458
00:21:56,859 --> 00:21:59,194
There's five people,
so that's 25
459
00:21:59,194 --> 00:22:01,321
different possible
combinations, right?
460
00:22:01,905 --> 00:22:03,699
One day led to a week,
to a month.
461
00:22:03,699 --> 00:22:06,243
And the long and short of it then is...
462
00:22:06,243 --> 00:22:07,327
It's like a team.
463
00:22:07,327 --> 00:22:10,038
- Yeah.
- It is, truly.
464
00:22:11,331 --> 00:22:12,666
...he never came back.
465
00:22:14,459 --> 00:22:16,879
I don't regret leaving the situation,
466
00:22:16,879 --> 00:22:18,338
but I regret how I did it.
467
00:22:18,338 --> 00:22:20,340
So I'd like to apologize,
468
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:23,594
you know, fully right now
to the fans especially,
469
00:22:23,594 --> 00:22:26,138
and also to the guys because...
470
00:22:28,473 --> 00:22:31,351
um, my feet and my spirit
would just not let me...
471
00:22:33,729 --> 00:22:34,897
walk out the door.
472
00:22:37,357 --> 00:22:39,776
Richie and I were like,
we were the brothers in arms.
473
00:22:39,776 --> 00:22:42,988
Like, him and I, we had
a fucking blast in the '80s.
474
00:22:43,488 --> 00:22:47,159
Really. It was like we went out every--
we rode together.
475
00:22:47,659 --> 00:22:51,622
See? A band that stays together
plays together.
476
00:22:52,289 --> 00:22:53,916
And it really, it hurt.
477
00:22:54,958 --> 00:22:56,752
There'll always be that void.
478
00:22:57,794 --> 00:23:00,756
The true magic
of our live performance
479
00:23:00,756 --> 00:23:02,424
was when we sang together.
480
00:23:02,925 --> 00:23:07,262
And when we sang together,
that was our unique spot.
481
00:23:07,888 --> 00:23:11,642
It was as identifiable as any great,
482
00:23:11,642 --> 00:23:14,228
you know, combination
that made one and one three.

00:24:55,829 --> 00:24:58,248
to keep on taking those songs out on tours
510
00:24:58,248 --> 00:24:59,917
that can go uptight in that song?
511
00:24:59,917 --> 00:25:01,543
Touring is my least favorite.
512
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:03,754
But you tour because
you're excited about a record.
513
00:25:04,213 --> 00:25:07,216
Writing obviously is, is first,
and then recording second
514
00:25:07,216 --> 00:25:09,009
because you wanna see if it turned out
515
00:25:09,009 --> 00:25:11,220
as well as you'd think it
in the notebook.
516
00:25:12,137 --> 00:25:14,556
And then if it did,
you wanna go out and support it.

I mean, at this point, I'm singing songs
521
00:25:31,323 --> 00:25:34,576
that I haven't sung confidently
in over a decade.
522
00:25:34,576 --> 00:25:36,036
You know, it started very slow,
523
00:25:36,036 --> 00:25:37,829

but picked up steam from
the operation going forward.

that means in my heart
529

534
00:26:11,697 --> 00:26:13,532
You know, uh,
I've been writing a bit...
535
00:26:13,532 --> 00:26:16,410
- Mm-hmm.
- ...um, looking for somethin',
536
00:26:16,743 --> 00:26:18,829
you know, to get
the engines goin'...
537

- Mm-hmm.

ar-are all personal

- around the healing and the hurting, so...
- Mm-hmm.
540
00:26:28,005 --> 00:26:30,257
But we can...
Let's-let's get out of that vibe.
541
00:26:30,257 --> 00:26:31,341
Okay.
542
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,137
Writing a song is the heart
and soul of what I do.
543
00:26:35,137 --> 00:26:36,263
That's all I care about.
544
00:26:36,263 --> 00:26:37,764
That is first and foremost on the list
545
00:26:37,764 --> 00:26:40,934
and has been for, like,
number, number of years.
546
00:26:42,227 --> 00:26:45,981
We wanna go with, like,
a mid-tempo kinda.
547
00:26:45,981 --> 00:26:49,276
You know,
I'm not locked into anything.
548
00:26:49,276 --> 00:26:53,113
It-it's always just somethin'
to get the juices flowin'.
549
00:26:55,073 --> 00:26:58,327
That is my favorite aspect
of anything to do with this business.
550
00:26:58,327 --> 00:26:59,703
If you write a song,
551
00:26:59,703 --> 00:27:03,415
it's the closest
you'll ever come to immortality.
552
00:27:03,415 --> 00:27:04,958

554
00:27:08,212 --> 00:27:11,548

555
00:27:13,884 --> 00:27:16,136
You know, what's fun is
when you hear them
556
00:27:16,136 --> 00:27:18,931
in the context of satellite radio.
557
00:27:20,849 --> 00:27:24,394
It's not like I sit around
listening to CDs of our records.
558
00:27:24,394 --> 00:27:25,896
You know, you really don't.
559
00:27:25,896 --> 00:27:29,816
Um, and you hear them and you go,
"Wow, that was worth working on."
560
00:27:32,653 --> 00:27:34,112
Of course, some are better
than others,
561
00:27:34,112 --> 00:27:35,781
but at the time you thought
it was the best work
562
00:27:35,781 --> 00:27:37,491
you could do for that period in time.
563
00:27:38,158 --> 00:27:41,411
I remember the melody,
I just don't remember the lyric.
564
00:27:41,411 --> 00:27:42,746
In the verse, I just remember that...

574

Great song, fun song.
575
00:28:08,188 --> 00:28:09,314
Maybe for the first time,
576
00:28:09,314 --> 00:28:11,733
I'm a little more introspective
than ever before.
577
00:28:11,733 --> 00:28:15,362
I'm not just writing about love
or being on the road,
578
00:28:15,696 --> 00:28:19,116
because those are the only things
I knew from 1982 to 1990.
579
00:28:19,783 --> 00:28:21,785
When you write Bed of Roses,
580
00:28:21,785 --> 00:28:23,871
I asked for a piano put in my room
581
00:28:23,871 --> 00:28:25,873
and that's one of the hits
I write by myself.
582

♪ Sitting here wasted
and wounded at this old piano ♪
583

00:28:50,981 --> 00:28:54,484
To tell you the truth,
I think a lot of the naysayers expected us
593
00:28:54,484 --> 00:28:57,070
to come back with the same role.
594
00:28:57,070 --> 00:28:59,740
But this is now,
and I couldn't repeat myself.

helps you to have a different opinion,
600
00:29:15,547 --> 00:29:19,176
because not in my wildest imagination
did I ever dream
601
00:29:19,176 --> 00:29:21,512

And I was just in this fog,
615
00:29:58,131 --> 00:30:01,218
and there was a lot of things
that I had to process,
616
00:30:01,218 --> 00:30:04,805
uh, so that I could get to a place
to write it down into music

the same place that I used
to sweep the floors
635
00:30:55,355 --> 00:30:58,734
and run the errands
in September of 1980.
636

00:31:28,514 --> 00:31:30,432
There had to go some healing first,
646
00:31:30,432 --> 00:31:32,684
and then we had to go
into the restructuring
647
00:31:32,684 --> 00:31:35,103
and then mentally going,
"Okay, let's do this,"
648

Title track is called
This House Is Not For Sale.
654
00:31:58,544 --> 00:32:01,338
And, uh, as the song goes on,
it talks about this house,
655
00:32:01,338 --> 00:32:03,757
this heart, this soul is not for sale.
656
00:32:03,757 --> 00:32:06,927
And I think it sets the tone
for everything that this record is about,
657
00:32:06,927 --> 00:32:08,178
this career has been about.
658
00:32:08,178 --> 00:32:10,138
If you look at the picture
on the album cover,
659
00:32:10,639 --> 00:32:13,517
that-that is a metaphor
for where we're at in our lives.
660
00:32:13,517 --> 00:32:17,437
That album cover, to me,
depicts who and what we are.
661
00:32:17,437 --> 00:32:21,650
Big, proud stone house
that was meant to be there forever
662
00:32:22,192 --> 00:32:26,822
and was beat up and-and fallin' apart
but still standing.
663
00:32:27,614 --> 00:32:29,116
The thing about
This House is Not for Sale
664
00:32:29,116 --> 00:32:31,118
is out of, out of great pain
comes great art.
665
00:32:31,118 --> 00:32:33,871
And so there was a lot to say.
666
00:32:33,871 --> 00:32:36,665
And these last three years
have not been easy.
667
00:32:37,499 --> 00:32:40,419
It's interesting.

670
00:32:45,424 --> 00:32:50,262

When we did This House is Not for Sale,
he became an open book.
674
00:33:04,860 --> 00:33:08,697
And then the lyrics became very profound
675
00:33:08,697 --> 00:33:12,993
about being a unit and a family.
676
00:33:12,993 --> 00:33:18,040
And this is our house,

You know, when you write
a song for yourself
680
00:33:30,260 --> 00:33:32,429
and if it rings true to you,
681
00:33:32,429 --> 00:33:34,890
what happens is
other people find meaning
682
00:33:34,890 --> 00:33:36,433
in those lyrics
and make 'em their own.
683
00:33:36,433 --> 00:33:39,561
You know, the,
the deep roots of that home,
684

tha-that place that you call home,
685
00:33:41,355 --> 00:33:43,273
no matter what it is or where it is,
686
00:33:43,607 --> 00:33:47,152
um, it redefined who we are
and what we are as a, as a band.
687
00:33:47,486 --> 00:33:51,281
That's a-a guy
with a huge status
688
00:33:51,281 --> 00:33:53,075
on the status of life...
689
00:33:54,451 --> 00:33:59,831
putting his heart on his sleeve,
and the fans ate it up.
690
00:34:04,461 --> 00:34:07,089
I mean,
I hear more vulnerability
691
00:34:07,089 --> 00:34:08,966
maybe than I've heard
in previous albums.
692
00:34:08,966 --> 00:34:10,050
Would you agree?
693
00:34:10,050 --> 00:34:13,554
You know, we had
always believed in writing
694
00:34:13,554 --> 00:34:16,765
- the u-upbeat, optimistic anthem.
- Mm-hmm.
695
00:34:16,765 --> 00:34:19,101
Songs of inclusion,
696
00:34:19,101 --> 00:34:21,311
telling you that you could do it too.
697
00:34:21,311 --> 00:34:24,606
And it was good
for me to never, um,
698
00:34:25,023 --> 00:34:27,985
show too much of that hurt
or vulnerability
699
00:34:27,985 --> 00:34:29,570
probably because I didn't want
700
00:34:29,570 --> 00:34:32,698
in my slice of your life
to let you down.
701
00:34:34,116 --> 00:34:36,326
That's the line in the sand
where you go, "I'm here.
702
00:34:36,618 --> 00:34:39,079
This is what I was,
and this is what I'm gonna be,"
703
00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:41,748
and like, no, this is not for sale.
Like, we built this thing.
704
00:34:42,207 --> 00:34:43,876
You know, that to me was like, bang.
705
00:34:44,459 --> 00:34:47,713
You know, I still, when we play that song,
it's like, we're fuckin' here.

This is a Bon Jovi
that has no Richie Sambora,
711
00:35:02,811 --> 00:35:05,397
not as a writer, not as a producer,
not as a player.
712
00:35:05,397 --> 00:35:06,648
Not at all.
713
00:35:06,648 --> 00:35:08,859
His choice. Not anybody else's,
but his choice.
714
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:12,529
And Bon Jovi will live on.
715
00:35:12,529 --> 00:35:14,406
And then
we're gonna bring in Hugh

00:35:14,406 --> 00:35:17,534
and we're gonna be
a five-piece again on the record,
717
00:35:17,534 --> 00:35:19,494
on the album cover, in the videos.
718
00:35:20,245 --> 00:35:23,373
If you're gonna do it,
let's do it. Be on the record.
719
00:35:23,749 --> 00:35:26,460
Instead of playing Richie's parts,
720
00:35:26,460 --> 00:35:29,630
you know, now you can develop
your own parts.
721
00:35:42,392 --> 00:35:45,771
When we recorded it,
that record, that album,
722
00:35:46,355 --> 00:35:49,024
it was very emotional
for all those reasons.
723
00:35:49,691 --> 00:35:52,236
And, you know, this heart, this soul,
724
00:35:52,236 --> 00:35:54,112
this house it's not for sale,
725
00:35:54,112 --> 00:35:55,572
it wasn't gonna be compromised.
726
00:35:55,572 --> 00:35:57,282
There was just no fuckin' way
727
00:35:58,158 --> 00:36:01,578
I was laying down
for Richie's departure,
728
00:36:01,578 --> 00:36:05,749
even my throat not working,
and it was a number-one record.
729
00:36:05,749 --> 00:36:09,253

730
00:36:15,342 --> 00:36:18,178
High atop of South Carolina.
731
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:21,014
We are on the plane
on the way to the first show.
732
00:36:21,723 --> 00:36:23,725
This is the moment
we've been waiting for, kids.
733
00:36:23,725 --> 00:36:25,102
See you down there.
734
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,358
We went back out to tour
and the side man, Bobby Bandiera,
735
00:36:31,358 --> 00:36:33,902
uh, was no longer
gonna tour with us.
736
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:38,407
So the logical choice
was that John Shanks,
737
00:36:38,407 --> 00:36:41,827
who had to have played
on a number of songs,
738
00:36:41,827 --> 00:36:43,328
he was the next man up.
739
00:36:43,328 --> 00:36:47,916
John Shanks goes from being
the producer of the record,
740
00:36:47,916 --> 00:36:50,836
now he becomes a side man.
741
00:36:51,170 --> 00:36:54,173
Phil is anointed. That's the guy.
742
00:36:54,173 --> 00:36:57,467
He's taken Richie Sambora's spot
and that spotlight.
743
00:36:57,926 --> 00:36:59,970
I didn't have to go through
what Phil went through.
744
00:37:00,470 --> 00:37:03,682
That whole idea of stepping
into somebody else's shoes,
745
00:37:03,682 --> 00:37:06,935
I definitely did not have it
as hard as Phil did.
746
00:37:06,935 --> 00:37:10,439
Because I'm the other guy.
That's the joke.
747
00:37:10,439 --> 00:37:11,648
I'm the other guy.
748
00:37:12,107 --> 00:37:15,152
Well, I was confident in the ability
of both of those guys
749
00:37:15,152 --> 00:37:16,820
to more than fill the holes
750
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:18,947
because they're incredible musicians.
751
00:37:19,990 --> 00:37:21,992
You know, in truth,
with all of the problems
752
00:37:21,992 --> 00:37:23,660
that I had had physically,
753
00:37:24,077 --> 00:37:28,081
I also needed that sounding board vocally.
754
00:37:29,041 --> 00:37:32,711
Somebody up there that was a real singer
755
00:37:32,711 --> 00:37:34,046
the way that Richie was.
756
00:37:34,755 --> 00:37:36,006
So I brought Everett in.
757
00:37:36,798 --> 00:37:38,550
Let me introduce to you
758
00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:40,302
Mr. Everett Bradley here.
759
00:37:41,470 --> 00:37:44,973
People, I think, know me
as a live performer.
760
00:37:45,641 --> 00:37:48,644
And I like to dance on stage
761
00:37:48,644 --> 00:37:51,355
and create a party and a celebration.
762
00:37:52,147 --> 00:37:55,943
Everett Bradley
played with me in '97
763
00:37:55,943 --> 00:37:57,778
on the Destination Anywhere Tour.
764
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,365
Everett came in because that had
a very percussive bass to it.
765
00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:05,953
That was my first sort of vision of him
766
00:38:05,953 --> 00:38:08,580
as a captain of the ship.
767
00:38:08,580 --> 00:38:10,040
He's playing and singing
768
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,876
and just the sweetest, nicest guy
with a great energy.
769
00:38:14,044 --> 00:38:16,964
And I needed all the help I could get
in these last couple years.
770
00:38:18,799 --> 00:38:23,804
I came back to Jon
when the band had reconfigured,
771
00:38:23,804 --> 00:38:25,305
when Richie was gone.

774
00:38:29,852 --> 00:38:31,728
John Shanks,
and Everett Bradley,
775
00:38:31,728 --> 00:38:33,647
I know that Tico,
Dave, Hugh, and I
776
00:38:33,647 --> 00:38:36,233
are really proud to be back
on the big stage.
777
00:38:36,608 --> 00:38:40,112
♪ Writing every page together ♪
778
00:38:40,112 --> 00:38:42,656
♪ Those days were not to last forever ♪
779
00:38:42,656 --> 00:38:46,660
Jon had gone
through a big change.
780
00:38:46,660 --> 00:38:49,788
♪ When we were us ♪
781
00:38:49,788 --> 00:38:52,541
And he had made the decision
782
00:38:52,541 --> 00:38:55,544
that he's not going anywhere.
783
00:38:56,879 --> 00:39:00,132
And he is rooting this situation,
784
00:39:00,132 --> 00:39:03,635
and he's going to grow
and move forward.
785
00:39:04,845 --> 00:39:06,889
People forget that artists grow.
786
00:39:07,389 --> 00:39:10,434
So it-- in some cases, it doesn't matter
who's in the band.
787
00:39:10,934 --> 00:39:12,769
You're not writing
the same songs that you wrote
788
00:39:12,769 --> 00:39:14,021
when you were 25.
789
00:39:14,021 --> 00:39:16,023
When you're 20, you don't have
much to look back on.
790
00:39:16,023 --> 00:39:20,485
There's been high school,
this my... seventh, eighth album.
791
00:39:20,485 --> 00:39:21,778
I don't even know. Uh...
792
00:39:22,905 --> 00:39:24,948
You hope that you have more to say.
793
00:39:24,948 --> 00:39:26,617
I think the band was able
794
00:39:26,617 --> 00:39:30,037
to ultimately stand that test of time
795
00:39:30,037 --> 00:39:34,166
because they evolved with the time
796
00:39:34,166 --> 00:39:36,376
but keeping true to themselves.
797
00:39:36,668 --> 00:39:39,505
Matt, there's, um,
there's the possibility
798
00:39:39,505 --> 00:39:42,466
that you might wanna join
show business someday too.
799
00:39:42,466 --> 00:39:45,344
Yeah, uh, I'm gonna take
my brother's manager's job.
800
00:39:45,344 --> 00:39:47,721
I've grown up in the organization.
801
00:39:47,721 --> 00:39:51,642
Everything from production assistant,
you know, learning my bones on the road
802
00:39:51,642 --> 00:39:54,061
to working in the management office
803
00:39:54,061 --> 00:39:55,896
and various roles in between.
804
00:39:56,396 --> 00:39:58,690
He was sort of like
the little kid that would hang around.
805
00:39:58,690 --> 00:40:01,860
But because he always hung around,
he was listening and he was learning.
806
00:40:02,236 --> 00:40:06,532
To see that magic
that was happening in his home,
807
00:40:07,032 --> 00:40:08,575
in the room that, you know,
808
00:40:08,575 --> 00:40:10,994
that's where that song was written,
809
00:40:11,411 --> 00:40:13,205
you know, growing up around that
810
00:40:13,205 --> 00:40:17,042
was pretty wild to watch them evolve.
811
00:40:17,042 --> 00:40:19,920
He has blossomed
into an incredible man.
812
00:40:20,295 --> 00:40:24,007
He is no longer the little boy
or the assistant to anybody.
813
00:40:24,758 --> 00:40:26,301
I think you always grow
as an artist,
814
00:40:26,301 --> 00:40:28,679
because you strive to be
the best you can
815
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:32,474
and then you try to take that spice
that you've learned in your life
816
00:40:32,474 --> 00:40:34,017
and put it into what you're doing.
817
00:40:34,017 --> 00:40:36,311
I wanted to make movies.
I wanted to own a football team.
818
00:40:36,311 --> 00:40:37,563
I wanted to do this.
819
00:40:37,563 --> 00:40:40,148
I encourage my band to go
and do whatever they want,
820
00:40:40,148 --> 00:40:42,442
because you bring in more information
back to the fold, you know.
821
00:40:42,442 --> 00:40:44,152
Do you have anything
that you would like to do
822
00:40:44,152 --> 00:40:45,988
maybe in the future if you had a choice?
823
00:40:45,988 --> 00:40:49,867
Yeah, th-these musicals
I'm involved with are real exciting.
824
00:40:49,867 --> 00:40:53,328
This is another chapter
completely different of the band.
825
00:40:53,328 --> 00:40:56,415
Nobody really gave a shit about
that Bon Jovi meant anything in Broadway.
826
00:40:56,415 --> 00:40:57,499
They're like, "Who?"
827
00:40:57,499 --> 00:41:01,503
And the Tony Award goes to...
828
00:41:01,962 --> 00:41:04,047
- Memphis.
829
00:41:04,047 --> 00:41:06,258
It just broadened my horizons.
830
00:41:06,258 --> 00:41:09,094
So it was like all this knowledge
that I learned outside
831
00:41:09,094 --> 00:41:10,304
I could bring back in.
832
00:41:10,846 --> 00:41:13,807
To me, it's really
about continuing growth.
833
00:41:13,807 --> 00:41:15,851
Or I would be in
the "Where Are They Now" category
834
00:41:15,851 --> 00:41:17,644
- and go, "Guess what?
835
00:41:17,644 --> 00:41:20,147
The new disco version
of Livin' on a Prayer.
836
00:41:20,147 --> 00:41:21,481
Not gonna happen.
837
00:41:21,982 --> 00:41:26,945
You know, we just evolved,
did what I felt natural doing
838
00:41:26,945 --> 00:41:28,697
and I'm very proud of that.
839
00:41:28,697 --> 00:41:31,283
You know, it's nothing
to be ashamed of,
840
00:41:31,283 --> 00:41:32,784
to grow old gracefully.
841
00:41:33,285 --> 00:41:35,662
What's in the future for,
for the band Bon Jovi?
842
00:41:35,662 --> 00:41:38,165
Are you guys gonna stay together forever?
What kinda...
843
00:41:38,165 --> 00:41:40,083
So what still keeps
this fresh for you?
844
00:41:40,083 --> 00:41:42,753
How far ahead
do you picture Bon Jovi working?
845
00:41:42,753 --> 00:41:44,129
Are hits still the goal,
846
00:41:44,129 --> 00:41:46,215
or what's really the reason
you wanna do this?
847
00:41:46,215 --> 00:41:47,925
The future for Bon Jovi.
848
00:41:51,553 --> 00:41:55,015
Please welcome
the king of all media,
849
00:41:55,015 --> 00:41:57,100
Howard Stern.
850
00:41:58,519 --> 00:42:01,230
Yes, the dream has been realized.
851
00:42:01,230 --> 00:42:02,898
The dream I'm talking about
852
00:42:02,898 --> 00:42:05,901
is that this great band of brothers
853
00:42:05,901 --> 00:42:08,737
are finally joining
their fellow musicians.
854
00:42:08,737 --> 00:42:13,116
It's my honor to induct
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
855
00:42:13,116 --> 00:42:18,163
Hugh McDonald, Tico Torres,
Sir Alec John Such,
856
00:42:18,455 --> 00:42:20,832
David Bryan, Richie Sambora,
857
00:42:20,832 --> 00:42:24,795
and the one and only Jon Bon Jovi,
the band Bon Jovi.
858
00:42:24,795 --> 00:42:27,881
[audience continues cheering
and applauding]
859
00:42:30,592 --> 00:42:32,678
It was good to get in.
860
00:42:33,178 --> 00:42:34,972
You know, I was, for a long time,
861
00:42:34,972 --> 00:42:36,974
my ego got in the way,
and I was upset
862
00:42:36,974 --> 00:42:39,142
that we weren't in there earlier.
863
00:42:39,142 --> 00:42:42,938
But for the-the people
who supported the band
864
00:42:42,938 --> 00:42:44,857
as well as the band, you know,
865
00:42:44,857 --> 00:42:49,319
and for the teenager
that wanted to be in the room
866
00:42:49,319 --> 00:42:50,529
with the greats.
867
00:42:50,904 --> 00:42:53,323
So when it did happen,
868
00:42:53,323 --> 00:42:56,869
much like where I'm at now
in my life of recording,
869
00:42:57,286 --> 00:42:58,579
I appreciated it more.
870
00:42:58,579 --> 00:43:01,123
[audience continues cheering
and applauding]
871
00:43:01,123 --> 00:43:02,708
I've been writing this speech
872
00:43:02,708 --> 00:43:04,459
since I first strummed a broom
873
00:43:04,459 --> 00:43:07,087
and sang from the top of the stairs
of my childhood home.
874
00:43:07,713 --> 00:43:09,840
I've actually written it
many ways, many times.
875
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,759
Some days, I write
the thank you speech.
876
00:43:12,759 --> 00:43:15,429
Other days, I write
the fuck you speech.
877
00:43:17,306 --> 00:43:21,310
To you, to us, to all of you,
878
00:43:21,310 --> 00:43:24,146
thank you for making this dream a reality.
879
00:43:28,025 --> 00:43:30,611
The last time the whole band saw Richie
880
00:43:31,195 --> 00:43:34,114
was when he walked off the tour in 2013.
881
00:43:35,490 --> 00:43:37,868
Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland!
882
00:43:39,703 --> 00:43:41,455
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
883
00:43:41,455 --> 00:43:43,498
So nobody had talked
to him for five years.
884
00:43:45,375 --> 00:43:48,879
Passion and blind faith
drove us beyond our wildest dreams.
885
00:43:49,213 --> 00:43:50,255
The night was amazing.
886
00:43:50,255 --> 00:43:52,508
I had my kids,
my wife, and my family,
887
00:43:52,508 --> 00:43:54,134
you know, it was,
it was great.
888
00:43:54,134 --> 00:43:56,762
Thank you for that.
I get to stand on this stage
889
00:43:57,721 --> 00:44:00,224
with some of the finest musicians
I ever worked with.
890
00:44:01,433 --> 00:44:04,269
To my brothers in the band,
thank you for the inspiration.
891
00:44:05,103 --> 00:44:07,189
Thank you to the fans
for your devotion.
892
00:44:07,189 --> 00:44:08,315
I'm honored and humbled.
893
00:44:10,609 --> 00:44:12,236
It was a-a beautiful thing,
894
00:44:12,611 --> 00:44:15,113
being up there with everybody
who had made that happen.
895
00:44:15,113 --> 00:44:17,616
Alec, Richie, the current band.
896
00:44:18,325 --> 00:44:19,618
I enjoyed it immensely.
897
00:44:19,952 --> 00:44:20,994
Go on.
898
00:44:20,994 --> 00:44:23,163
[audience continues cheering
and applauding]
899
00:44:27,793 --> 00:44:29,795
Now, to my bandmates.
900
00:44:32,422 --> 00:44:33,966
These guys are the best.
901
00:44:33,966 --> 00:44:37,052
I could get a little teary here
so bear with me.
902
00:44:38,554 --> 00:44:40,180
Did you ever get to talk to Al?
903
00:44:41,932 --> 00:44:42,933
No. Uh...
904
00:44:44,017 --> 00:44:46,228
That was the high point
of the Hall of Fame,
905
00:44:46,228 --> 00:44:48,397
was reconnecting with him, for me.
906
00:44:48,397 --> 00:44:50,482
We had so many great times together
907
00:44:50,482 --> 00:44:53,735
and I just, we wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for those guys.
908
00:44:53,735 --> 00:44:55,737
Love 'em to death. Always will.
909
00:44:55,737 --> 00:44:58,115
On the outside,
it seems like it would be
910
00:44:58,115 --> 00:45:00,075
a very strange relationship,
911
00:45:00,367 --> 00:45:02,369
and I didn't find it to be that way.
912
00:45:02,995 --> 00:45:05,330
Alec looked great, sounded great.
913
00:45:05,330 --> 00:45:07,666
Laughing, funny as all get out.
914
00:45:07,666 --> 00:45:09,626
Really good to have him back on stage.
915
00:45:09,626 --> 00:45:12,504
It was great to see Al.
I haven't seen Al in a million years.
916
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,757
We talked and had a great time
and got his number.
917
00:45:15,757 --> 00:45:18,135
We were talking to each other
and texting each other.
918
00:45:19,219 --> 00:45:20,762
Some sad news to report
this morning
919
00:45:20,762 --> 00:45:22,222
from the music world.
920
00:45:22,222 --> 00:45:26,435
Bassist Alec John Such,
a founding member of Bon Jovi,
921
00:45:26,435 --> 00:45:28,896
has died at the age of 70.
922
00:45:28,896 --> 00:45:30,189
Such was...
923
00:45:30,189 --> 00:45:34,276
Saturday morning,
uh, Tico sent a text
924
00:45:34,276 --> 00:45:36,612
to David and Hugh and myself
925
00:45:37,529 --> 00:45:38,947
that he had received word
926
00:45:39,406 --> 00:45:41,366
that at 3 o'clock that morning, uh,
927
00:45:41,366 --> 00:45:44,786
Al had a heart attack and died in his bed.
928
00:45:55,464 --> 00:45:57,841
He was
a true rock star, you know.
929
00:45:57,841 --> 00:46:00,469
And not just to pay homage
to him, you know.
930
00:46:00,469 --> 00:46:02,971
It's a... It's nothing you--
You can never replace him.
931
00:46:03,555 --> 00:46:05,307
One of the things
that hit me is
932
00:46:05,307 --> 00:46:07,643
this isn't a grandparent
or a parent
933
00:46:07,643 --> 00:46:10,145
or somebody that was old
and supposed to die,
934
00:46:10,145 --> 00:46:12,731
this was a, a band member.
935
00:46:13,941 --> 00:46:15,484
This was a first.
936
00:46:17,694 --> 00:46:20,822
I'm realizing that
we're only all here
937
00:46:20,822 --> 00:46:22,658
for a short amount of time.
938
00:46:23,951 --> 00:46:27,704
You know, I was once having
one of our many get-togethers
939
00:46:27,704 --> 00:46:29,331
with just me and Bruce.
940
00:46:29,331 --> 00:46:33,418
Ladies and gentlemen, the one
and only Bruce Springsteen.
941
00:46:35,003 --> 00:46:37,256
We've become good, deep friends.
942
00:46:37,256 --> 00:46:41,468
And we can talk openly, honestly, deeply.
943
00:46:41,468 --> 00:46:42,928
We've become much closer
944
00:46:42,928 --> 00:46:45,138
probably as we've gotten older here,
945
00:46:45,138 --> 00:46:46,807
you know, recently as being, you know,
946
00:46:46,807 --> 00:46:49,518
well, you know, two guys
in the same game here.
947
00:46:49,518 --> 00:46:52,020
And now we go out
of our way to take drives.
948
00:46:53,605 --> 00:46:55,983
We just, the two of us, get in the car,
949
00:46:55,983 --> 00:47:00,195
no phones, no radio,
and drive for a hundred miles.
950
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:02,990
It means the world to me.
951
00:47:04,241 --> 00:47:08,370
Someone who's a step down
in the road, on the journey.
952
00:47:10,289 --> 00:47:12,499
One time, a few years back,
953
00:47:13,125 --> 00:47:16,795
when we were comparing
where we were in our lives
954
00:47:16,795 --> 00:47:20,924
and as it pertained
to life, journey, career,
955
00:47:21,466 --> 00:47:23,177
he brought up that word
of "mortality,"
956
00:47:23,177 --> 00:47:25,929
and that never crossed
my mind at that time.
957
00:47:26,388 --> 00:47:29,558
And I was like, "Oh, yeah, mortality.
That's still on the horizon."
958
00:47:30,392 --> 00:47:32,394
So I have a different perspective now.
959
00:47:32,394 --> 00:47:34,271
You know, it's in my face.
960
00:47:53,749 --> 00:47:55,667
♪ You rattle on me ♪
961
00:47:56,710 --> 00:47:59,796
♪ When these hands don't strum ♪
962
00:48:08,430 --> 00:48:12,434

00:48:12,434 --> 00:48:15,354

964
00:48:15,896 --> 00:48:19,733

966
00:48:23,487 --> 00:48:26,990
♪ When your mind's out to wonder,

967
00:48:26,990 --> 00:48:29,785
♪ Is there some place
that you gotta be? ♪
968
00:48:44,883 --> 00:48:47,636
So... it's not good.
969
00:48:47,636 --> 00:48:51,431
And, um, it sounds raspy,
970
00:48:51,431 --> 00:48:54,434
and, uh, it's not good.
971
00:48:54,434 --> 00:48:56,812
So I'm contemplating not doing it
972
00:48:56,812 --> 00:49:02,025
because to push it
would just not help things.
973
00:49:03,819 --> 00:49:06,154
It's not-- I'm not doing myself
favors with it.
974
00:49:07,489 --> 00:49:08,866
I don't even sound like me.
975
00:49:15,998 --> 00:49:20,669
♪ I wrote you a song ♪
976
00:49:21,128 --> 00:49:25,132
♪ Almost afraid to sing it ♪

00:49:27,926 --> 00:49:30,679
♪ How could I ever ♪
978
00:49:43,984 --> 00:49:45,903
I don't like it. Just don't like it.
979
00:50:07,007 --> 00:50:09,343
I hear that you're--
there's a new album on the horizon?
980
00:50:09,343 --> 00:50:10,427
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
981
00:50:10,427 --> 00:50:15,015
Just this week, I, um, explained
the album is called 2020.
982
00:50:16,016 --> 00:50:17,809
And although it would seem that,
983
00:50:17,809 --> 00:50:21,230
you know, it's a presidential campaign,
and why not,
984
00:50:21,813 --> 00:50:23,106
I couldn't do any worse,
985
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:24,775
- um...
986
00:50:24,775 --> 00:50:27,778
...th-the idea here is that,
you know, I have clear vision.
987
00:50:27,778 --> 00:50:30,614
And in light of everything
that we've been through as a band,
988
00:50:30,989 --> 00:50:34,409
uh, this is a--
it's a real statement record.
989
00:50:34,785 --> 00:50:36,203
- That's a great name.
- Yeah.
990
00:50:36,203 --> 00:50:38,914
I mean, you've always been
very socially conscious, so...
991
00:50:38,914 --> 00:50:40,791
Yeah, it's a very
socially conscious record.
992
00:50:40,791 --> 00:50:42,918
It's not political, but it's
very socially conscious.
993
00:50:42,918 --> 00:50:45,838
You know, just awareness
of so many things
994
00:50:45,838 --> 00:50:47,506
that are going on
in the world right now.
995
00:50:54,847 --> 00:50:58,433
2000 was really
the first foray into politics.
996
00:50:58,433 --> 00:51:00,519
- Will you please help me in welcoming
997
00:51:00,519 --> 00:51:03,397
the next president
of these United States?
998
00:51:04,022 --> 00:51:07,609
Mr. Al Gore and Mrs. Tipper Gore.
999
00:51:07,609 --> 00:51:10,779
We had Al Gore
at our house for a fundraiser.
1000
00:51:10,779 --> 00:51:14,241
That was like the turning point
where we got really actively involved.
1001
00:51:14,575 --> 00:51:17,494
It's been reported here
that George W. Bush
1002
00:51:17,494 --> 00:51:21,790
is gonna be the next president,
the 43rd president of the United States.
1003
00:51:21,790 --> 00:51:23,041
That was tough obviously.
1004
00:51:23,041 --> 00:51:24,710
But being at the vice president's house
1005
00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:27,004
on the night that he conceded
and being with him,
1006
00:51:27,004 --> 00:51:31,216
we all let our hair down
that night to, uh, just move on.
1007
00:51:32,092 --> 00:51:33,927
I have been active since.
1008
00:51:35,053 --> 00:51:37,514
We caught up with Bon Jovi
in Newark, New Jersey.
1009
00:51:37,514 --> 00:51:40,517
He was there as part of his new role
as the only celebrity
1010
00:51:40,517 --> 00:51:44,521
on President Obama's White House Council
for Community Solution.
1011
00:51:44,521 --> 00:51:47,524
And our job is to help
disenfranchised youth
1012
00:51:47,524 --> 00:51:50,068
gain employment and help them
with education.
1013
00:51:50,444 --> 00:51:52,362
Whether it was 2004, 2008...
1014
00:51:52,362 --> 00:51:54,489
We are choosing hope over fear.
1015
00:51:54,489 --> 00:51:56,450
...'12, '16, and '20.
1016
00:51:56,450 --> 00:51:59,620
There was definitely
always a part to give back.
1017
00:51:59,620 --> 00:52:01,205
We also came from simple means.
1018
00:52:01,205 --> 00:52:03,707
You know, we weren't born with a lot.
1019
00:52:03,707 --> 00:52:05,167
You're grateful for what you get
1020
00:52:05,167 --> 00:52:08,337
and so that you always wanna try
to help other people.
1021
00:52:08,337 --> 00:52:10,756
Even when Jon was doing,
like, a Christmas show,
1022
00:52:10,756 --> 00:52:12,007
we would do a can drive.
1023
00:52:12,007 --> 00:52:15,052
You know, he was always trying
to give back to the community.
1024
00:52:15,052 --> 00:52:17,846
And he did those Christmas shows for,
I don't know, how many years in Red Bank.
1025
00:52:17,846 --> 00:52:21,892
Well, good evening. Welcome to the fifth
annual Bon Jovi Christmas concert.
1026
00:52:23,101 --> 00:52:26,104
And I'd start thinkin',
I said, "Let's do a show.
1027
00:52:26,104 --> 00:52:28,899
"But every nickel will go
1028
00:52:28,899 --> 00:52:31,735
to the various New Jersey charities."
1029
00:52:31,735 --> 00:52:33,987
- We need all the help we can get.
- Yeah.
1030
00:52:33,987 --> 00:52:36,114
You know, they say
a rising tide raises all boats.
1031
00:52:36,114 --> 00:52:38,075
I think that's kind of our philosophy.
1032
00:52:38,075 --> 00:52:40,994
Nobody gets there by themselves.
Jon Bon Jovi didn't get there by himself.
1033
00:52:41,328 --> 00:52:44,998
Our mission is trying
to break the chains of poverty,
1034
00:52:44,998 --> 00:52:49,711
whether it's assisting
in homeless issues, social service.
1035
00:52:49,711 --> 00:52:51,713
But then we started
to build more housing,
1036
00:52:51,713 --> 00:52:53,549
and we thought, "Now wait a minute,
1037
00:52:53,549 --> 00:52:56,134
"this is something
that can affect anybody,
1038
00:52:56,134 --> 00:52:58,178
Republican, Democrat, Black, white."
1039
00:52:58,679 --> 00:53:03,767
It was fun to watch them grow
and change with the times,
1040
00:53:04,101 --> 00:53:05,477
especially Jon.
1041
00:53:05,477 --> 00:53:07,396
And I understand that
for some of you,
1042
00:53:07,396 --> 00:53:10,315
seeing the name Jon Bon Jovi
on today's list of guest speakers
1043
00:53:10,315 --> 00:53:11,567
may have raised an eyebrow.
1044
00:53:11,567 --> 00:53:14,736
Paying attention to things
that were happening in the world
1045
00:53:14,736 --> 00:53:18,198
like hunger and politics
and freedom.
1046
00:53:18,198 --> 00:53:20,993
You're taking care
of a part of your community
1047
00:53:21,285 --> 00:53:23,120
that is in dire need.
1048
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,038
Places like the Kitchen need to exist.
1049
00:53:25,038 --> 00:53:28,000
On the philanthropy side,
it was kinda just buckshot.
1050
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,961
Like when Jon started the,
the Soul Foundation,
1051
00:53:30,961 --> 00:53:32,254
I actually was watching a TV show,
1052
00:53:32,254 --> 00:53:34,965
and they were talking
about community restaurants
1053
00:53:34,965 --> 00:53:37,217
and I just, I became, like,
obsessed with this idea.
1054
00:53:39,178 --> 00:53:40,762
I think that the philanthropy gets
1055
00:53:40,762 --> 00:53:42,931
as much attention
as the music does today.
1056
00:53:42,931 --> 00:53:44,933
50/50, you know.
1057
00:53:44,933 --> 00:53:47,144
And I'm really surprised by it,
but pleased.
1058
00:53:47,436 --> 00:53:49,771
Because it just comes from a pure place.
1059
00:53:50,772 --> 00:53:52,774
These guys all volunteer,
1060
00:53:52,774 --> 00:53:56,862
and they're empowered
by participating in the model.
1061
00:53:56,862 --> 00:54:00,324
So they'll work in the garden
or sweep the floor
1062
00:54:00,324 --> 00:54:03,160
or bus a table, and then they get fed.
1063
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,786
- Hey! How are you?
- How are you?
1064
00:54:04,786 --> 00:54:06,997
Good, good. Did you make corned beef
and cabbage today?
1065
00:54:06,997 --> 00:54:08,999
- Yes, absolutely.
- Yes.
1066
00:54:10,167 --> 00:54:12,753
This was just somethin'
that came pure of heart,
1067
00:54:12,753 --> 00:54:14,213
and that's why it works.
1068
00:54:14,213 --> 00:54:16,507
People travel 'cause
they wanna witness it
1069
00:54:16,507 --> 00:54:20,093
or people that are truly
in need are out there,
1070
00:54:20,093 --> 00:54:22,262
and they're-they're meeting each other.
1071
00:54:22,638 --> 00:54:27,017
You know, different walks of life
and-and different economic backgrounds.
1072
00:54:27,017 --> 00:54:29,394
And, you know, they come together
in a place like this
1073
00:54:29,394 --> 00:54:32,731
and everybody's the same
over breaking bread.
1074
00:54:33,899 --> 00:54:36,944
You know, there wasn't a meal served
that was there for publicity.
1075
00:54:37,402 --> 00:54:40,280
You don't start a foundation
all those years ago
1076
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:41,532
to be in a rock band.
1077
00:54:41,532 --> 00:54:43,325
It's just not how it works.
1078
00:54:45,494 --> 00:54:46,620
So that's four hits.
1079
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:48,497
Do your walk up again.
1080
00:54:48,497 --> 00:54:50,499
It's... .
1081
00:54:50,499 --> 00:54:52,042
It's the last one.
1082
00:54:52,042 --> 00:54:53,877
♪ It's a hard rain ♪
1083
00:54:53,877 --> 00:54:57,130
♪ Don't give a damn
who you are... there's a-- ♪
1084
00:54:57,130 --> 00:54:59,132
- And you start .
1085
00:54:59,132 --> 00:55:01,385
It's not a stop, I don't think.
No, I think it's...
1086
00:55:01,385 --> 00:55:04,555
You know, you write
from where you are at.
1087
00:55:04,555 --> 00:55:08,809
And the people
that love you and are fans
1088
00:55:08,809 --> 00:55:11,478
are gonna go along
on the journey with you.
1089
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:13,647
So when you're not chasing
the singles,
1090
00:55:13,647 --> 00:55:16,733
sometimes those are the most
interesting songs to me.
1091
00:55:17,901 --> 00:55:21,363
I wanna know who you are,
you know, as a human being.
1092
00:55:21,989 --> 00:55:23,991
Sorry, play the loop again.
Let me sing the chorus for you.
1093
00:55:23,991 --> 00:55:26,827
I remember when we went
down to Nashville
1094
00:55:26,827 --> 00:55:28,996
with a-a bunch of songs
and thought,
1095
00:55:28,996 --> 00:55:30,330
"Okay, we've got an album."
1096
00:55:30,330 --> 00:55:32,416
Yes. But not so good.
1097
00:55:32,416 --> 00:55:33,917
Breath on the first thing was great.
1098
00:55:33,917 --> 00:55:35,002
Keep breathing on...
1099
00:55:35,002 --> 00:55:36,587
We were enjoying the process
1100
00:55:36,587 --> 00:55:39,756
and being in a big room together
was very reminiscent
1101
00:55:39,756 --> 00:55:41,175
of the old Power Station.
1102
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,468
Try that.
1103
00:55:43,468 --> 00:55:45,596
- Let's try that.
- In the chorus?
1104
00:55:45,596 --> 00:55:49,766
Well, just overall. That feel of the song
that you were-- wanted to explore.
1105
00:55:50,684 --> 00:55:52,561
And the record
was slated to come out,
1106
00:55:52,561 --> 00:55:54,938
and the tour was being assembled
1107
00:55:55,981 --> 00:55:58,066
and then COVID.
1108
00:56:06,617 --> 00:56:10,078
The craziest year in the history of man
1109
00:56:10,078 --> 00:56:12,372
for the last 100-plus years.
1110
00:56:12,789 --> 00:56:14,541
So everything is put on hold.
1111
00:56:14,541 --> 00:56:18,295
Talk about a doomed title.
A doomed year.
1112
00:56:18,295 --> 00:56:19,463
A doomed, everybody's like,
1113
00:56:19,463 --> 00:56:21,131
"Oh, I hear the next pandemic
is gonna be here.
1114
00:56:21,131 --> 00:56:23,217
When was the last one?"
"Oh, 100 years ago."
1115
00:56:23,217 --> 00:56:28,138
Each album takes on
where he's at in his heart
1116
00:56:28,138 --> 00:56:31,558
and what he's listening to
and what he's inspired
1117
00:56:31,558 --> 00:56:33,060
and the world around him.
1118
00:56:33,519 --> 00:56:34,770
Shortly thereafter,
1119
00:56:35,395 --> 00:56:37,940
the George Floyd incident
happens in Minneapolis.
1120
00:56:38,524 --> 00:56:40,025
I watched a white officer
1121
00:56:40,025 --> 00:56:42,402
assassinate a Black man.
1122
00:56:42,861 --> 00:56:46,031
And I know that tore your heart out.
1123
00:56:46,865 --> 00:56:49,368
And I think because we're all home
and we can't go anywhere else,
1124
00:56:49,368 --> 00:56:52,621
you don't look with one eye and then,
you know, change the channel or leave.
1125
00:56:53,288 --> 00:56:55,832
America was paying attention.
1126
00:56:56,416 --> 00:57:02,089
And I take that record
and open it up again.
1127
00:57:02,756 --> 00:57:05,384
Change lyrics around, write other songs.
1128
00:57:06,885 --> 00:57:09,596
And 2020 takes on
a much different meaning.
1129
00:57:09,596 --> 00:57:13,016
I-it is you. It's Bon Jovi.
There you go. It's the band.
1130
00:57:13,350 --> 00:57:14,518
- 2020.
- Yep.
1131
00:57:14,518 --> 00:57:18,814
Okay, that's a bold name for an album.
A lot happened this year.
1132
00:57:21,024 --> 00:57:22,234
Chaos in the street.
1133
00:57:22,234 --> 00:57:25,529
You see that inferno
of these demonstrations.
1134
00:57:25,529 --> 00:57:28,282
They are playing out across the country.
1135
00:57:28,282 --> 00:57:30,534
♪ America's on fire ♪
1136
00:57:32,661 --> 00:57:34,997
♪ There's protests in the street ♪
1137
00:57:36,123 --> 00:57:37,624
Daily protests
have been going on
1138
00:57:37,624 --> 00:57:38,709
for almost two weeks now.
1139
00:57:38,709 --> 00:57:41,128
The largest civil rights
protest the world has ever seen.
1140
00:57:41,128 --> 00:57:42,754
It's a reckoning of race,
1141
00:57:42,754 --> 00:57:44,256
justice, and policing.
1142
00:57:44,256 --> 00:57:46,091
Black Lives Matter!
1143
00:57:46,383 --> 00:57:49,136

♪ And her soul is under siege ♪
1145
00:57:54,641 --> 00:57:56,685
And once again,
I grabbed the guitar,
1146
00:57:56,685 --> 00:57:59,479
and I carefully wrote down
what I saw.
1147
00:57:59,980 --> 00:58:02,524
He sent me the song,
he sent me the lyric
1148
00:58:02,524 --> 00:58:04,860
and wanted to know
my thoughts about it.
1149
00:58:05,277 --> 00:58:07,738
And I told him stories
about how I grew up
1150
00:58:08,572 --> 00:58:13,619
and how I was not welcome
in our neighborhood.
1151
00:58:13,619 --> 00:58:15,621
We don't want to integrate!
1152
00:58:15,621 --> 00:58:19,249
And how deep that was
for me and my family.
1153
00:58:20,542 --> 00:58:24,129
And I think that's why
he's relevant
1154
00:58:24,671 --> 00:58:27,257
and still recognized worldwide,
1155
00:58:27,257 --> 00:58:30,093
because he keeps paying attention.

00:58:33,764 --> 00:58:36,350

What are we supposed to do?
1158
00:58:36,350 --> 00:58:38,101
Nothing has changed.

with a battle to fix
centuries' long injustices.
1162
00:58:48,529 --> 00:58:50,822
Sometimes it's not about production.
1163
00:58:50,822 --> 00:58:53,408
It's like how simple can we make this
1164
00:58:53,742 --> 00:58:56,286
in order for the lyric to come through?
1165
00:58:56,286 --> 00:58:59,206
Because I'm gonna talk about something
that's really uncomfortable.
1166
00:58:59,206 --> 00:59:02,334
I'm gonna talk about things
that are not hit singles.
1167
00:59:02,334 --> 00:59:04,837

00:59:19,351 --> 00:59:23,105
And he's affected
by what goes on in the world
1173
00:59:23,105 --> 00:59:25,274
and people around him,
what goes on in their life.

I think it's a,
it's a record that
1179
00:59:40,706 --> 00:59:42,291
is a moment in time.
1180
00:59:42,291 --> 00:59:45,169
Because you're so well known
throughout the world,
1181
00:59:45,169 --> 00:59:46,879
people think they know you.
1182
00:59:46,879 --> 00:59:52,384
And maybe they know different parts
of your life and career, depending.
1183
00:59:52,384 --> 00:59:56,597
This album is so topical,
at times so serious,
1184
00:59:56,597 --> 00:59:59,808
it might be different
than some of the Jon Bon Jovi they know.
1185

1189
01:00:15,449 --> 01:00:16,742
I love the record.
1190
01:00:17,618 --> 01:00:19,286
But unlike any other record,
1191
01:00:19,620 --> 01:00:21,580
this one was released
into a black hole.
1192
01:00:21,955 --> 01:00:25,709
We couldn't really do much
in way of television, promotion.
1193
01:00:26,126 --> 01:00:27,961
There were no shows slated.
1194
01:00:28,629 --> 01:00:29,922
So it was disappointment
1195
01:00:29,922 --> 01:00:33,717
because any opportunity
to perform as a band
1196
01:00:34,218 --> 01:00:38,263
was in an empty theater
for a drive-in show.
1197
01:00:38,847 --> 01:00:41,016
No idea how the songs
are gonna work live.
1198
01:00:41,767 --> 01:00:45,479
So there was this whole period
of my life that happened,
1199
01:00:45,479 --> 01:00:48,315
from the summer of '18
through the fall of '20,
1200
01:00:49,441 --> 01:00:53,654
that these songs were
just here but not there.
1201
01:00:57,699 --> 01:01:00,619
Cut to finally 2022,
1202
01:01:00,619 --> 01:01:03,622
where we got to play some
of those songs for the first time.
1203
01:01:04,164 --> 01:01:05,582
When we rehearsed
with the band
1204
01:01:05,582 --> 01:01:07,835
for the three weeks
getting ready to do the tour...
1205
01:01:08,919 --> 01:01:11,171
...I was anxious to see how
the songs were gonna work live
1206
01:01:11,171 --> 01:01:12,881
because they felt good
to me on the stage.
1207
01:01:14,341 --> 01:01:15,551
And you start seeing, like,
1208
01:01:15,551 --> 01:01:18,720
there's some songs
off the record that we play,
1209
01:01:19,596 --> 01:01:21,223
and the fans like it.
1210
01:01:22,432 --> 01:01:25,269
♪ Love ♪
1211
01:01:25,269 --> 01:01:28,230
♪ Is a beautiful drug ♪
1212
01:01:28,230 --> 01:01:31,650
A couple shows in,
I knew he was struggling.
1213
01:01:32,484 --> 01:01:35,153
There were some uncomfortable
conversations with Jon.
1214
01:01:35,153 --> 01:01:37,281
You know, he'd say,
"Tell me the truth."
1215
01:01:37,948 --> 01:01:39,658
And I tried
to tell him the truth,
1216
01:01:40,367 --> 01:01:41,910
which was no fun for me.
1217
01:01:42,619 --> 01:01:45,038
To sing with him
1218
01:01:45,539 --> 01:01:49,293
and hear that
he's not at 100%...
1219
01:01:51,879 --> 01:01:53,088
was heartbreaking.
1220
01:01:56,383 --> 01:01:57,676
I feel like
there were times
1221
01:01:57,676 --> 01:02:00,345
when I could see Jon
pulling the plug
1222
01:02:00,804 --> 01:02:02,639
like, "It's not working.
Let's go home."
1223
01:02:03,056 --> 01:02:07,686
And I knew that
whatever the decision was,
1224
01:02:07,686 --> 01:02:10,063
we would support that decision.
1225
01:02:11,773 --> 01:02:14,651
My brother Anthony had come back
by the dressing room,
1226
01:02:14,651 --> 01:02:18,739
and Jon had a moment
where he was telling Anthony and I
1227
01:02:18,739 --> 01:02:22,159
that, uh, that was it, no more.
1228
01:02:23,452 --> 01:02:25,120
That was the moment, um...
1229
01:02:25,829 --> 01:02:29,416
I-- I get emotional now
just thinkin' about it.
1230
01:02:31,251 --> 01:02:33,420
"You may have just witnessed
1231
01:02:33,420 --> 01:02:36,256
the last show ever."
1232
01:02:37,341 --> 01:02:39,843
All you can do is give 'em
all you got. That's it.
1233
01:02:40,928 --> 01:02:43,096
It killed me to watch him struggle.
1234
01:02:43,805 --> 01:02:48,685
Fun to be on stage,
not fun to see him hurting.
1235
01:02:49,895 --> 01:02:51,980
Something was wrong.
Something is wrong.
1236
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:55,400
I heard it. You know, he just wasn't--
He-he wasn't singing great.
1237
01:02:57,277 --> 01:02:58,862
Jon Bon Jovi, surprisingly,
1238
01:02:58,862 --> 01:03:00,781
is not the most
patient person in the world
1239
01:03:00,781 --> 01:03:03,784
'cause he's used to controlling everything
and just, you know, making it.
1240
01:03:03,784 --> 01:03:06,370
I always say, by sheer will,
he will make it happen.
1241
01:03:06,370 --> 01:03:07,996
He is very hard on himself.
1242
01:03:07,996 --> 01:03:12,209
Jon wants to always be at his best.
1243
01:03:12,209 --> 01:03:14,795
You know, that's something
that he's gonna have to come to terms with
1244
01:03:14,795 --> 01:03:15,963
one way or the other.
1245
01:03:18,257 --> 01:03:19,424
I'm not gonna overdo it.
1246
01:03:19,424 --> 01:03:22,511
It's gonna be hour
and a half each day.
1247
01:03:23,011 --> 01:03:24,137
It's not training camp...
1248
01:03:25,222 --> 01:03:27,015
...but it's not the first game
of the season.
1249
01:03:27,015 --> 01:03:29,476
It's more like, you know,
a pre-season game.
1250
01:03:30,227 --> 01:03:33,313
Play a couple quarters
and be happy with where we're at.
1251
01:03:33,939 --> 01:03:36,275
And I-- if I can wrap my head
around that, then it'll be good.
1252
01:03:37,401 --> 01:03:38,694
That's the expectation.
1253
01:03:39,528 --> 01:03:42,072
And if not, then not.
1254
01:03:42,072 --> 01:03:44,408
- No, I don't wanna overdo it here either.
1255
01:03:44,408 --> 01:03:46,577
I was just gonna say,
are you gonna start with...
1256
01:03:46,577 --> 01:03:48,203
- No.
- ... Prayer a capella?
1257
01:03:48,203 --> 01:03:50,581
Whatever it is, it is.
You can't rush it.
1258
01:03:51,123 --> 01:03:53,876
And if it's a year from now,
then let's rock.
1259
01:03:53,876 --> 01:03:55,836
It'd be nice to do a 40th anniversary.
1260
01:03:56,253 --> 01:03:58,046
If not, it's been great.
1261
01:03:58,046 --> 01:03:59,923
Without a doubt.
1262
01:04:01,008 --> 01:04:03,302
There's a hell
of a lot more life to live
1263
01:04:03,302 --> 01:04:06,054
than singing a song on a stage.
1264
01:04:06,054 --> 01:04:09,266
It's not who I am, it's what I do.
1265
01:04:10,934 --> 01:04:12,436

This is by The Wild Ones,
this is for the wild ones.
1268
01:04:17,316 --> 01:04:19,443
- Yeah!
- This one's named after the band,
1269
01:04:19,443 --> 01:04:21,028
and this one's called The Wild Ones.
1270
01:04:21,028 --> 01:04:22,738

came from here

01:04:29,661 --> 01:04:32,247
and all the heart came
from right here in Vancouver.
1274
01:04:32,247 --> 01:04:33,457
You know what I mean?
1275
01:04:37,419 --> 01:04:41,048
If the next phase and stage is
to say goodbye to it,
1276
01:04:41,673 --> 01:04:43,050
there's no shame in that.
1277
01:04:43,759 --> 01:04:46,595
Like I'd said, my last album, I loved.
1278
01:04:47,429 --> 01:04:50,349
My last show, I loved.
1279
01:04:51,308 --> 01:04:54,895

to everything I'd hoped for,
1280
01:04:54,895 --> 01:04:58,690
the journey with any and all
of the members of the band.
1281
01:04:58,690 --> 01:05:00,984
I've been incredibly blessed.
1282

'cause I was like,
"This is too perfect."
1332
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,565
Once he found it,
I mean, that was, that was a moment
1333
01:09:08,565 --> 01:09:10,400
because you're like, "There he is.
1334
01:09:10,984 --> 01:09:12,236
There's that rock star."
1335
01:09:12,945 --> 01:09:15,280
There was
so much uncertainty for so long.
1336
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:19,451
And it's all trending towards Jon
wanting to go back on the road
1337
01:09:19,451 --> 01:09:20,911
because he has his tools again.
1338
01:09:20,911 --> 01:09:22,996
You know, he said he hasn't been
that happy in 10 years
1339
01:09:22,996 --> 01:09:24,456
and he's joyful.
1340
01:09:24,456 --> 01:09:25,541
There you have it.
1341
01:09:26,041 --> 01:09:28,126
This is what we were looking for.
1342
01:09:28,126 --> 01:09:31,922
It's been a long time
just to see everybody happy.
1343
01:09:35,425 --> 01:09:37,886
We're a team, we're a family.
1344
01:09:37,886 --> 01:09:39,805
You know, we're all gonna
make it to the finish line,
1345
01:09:39,805 --> 01:09:41,306
and we're gonna be fine.
1346
01:09:41,306 --> 01:09:42,391
And you know what?
1347
01:09:42,391 --> 01:09:44,768
Next year, wait till next year.
1348
01:09:44,768 --> 01:09:47,062
We're gonna come out guns a-blazing.
1349
01:10:13,922 --> 01:10:18,093
Well, you know,
we set out on a journey
1350
01:10:18,093 --> 01:10:19,970
to a dream 40 years ago.
1351
01:10:21,305 --> 01:10:22,848
I think that legacy is cemented
1352
01:10:22,848 --> 01:10:25,559
anytime you turn on the radio
and hear one of those songs,
1353
01:10:25,559 --> 01:10:28,854
anytime you have a memory
of having been at one of those shows,
1354
01:10:28,854 --> 01:10:32,858
anytime you utilize one of those lyrics
to get you through good, hard times
1355
01:10:32,858 --> 01:10:35,110
or sad or mad times.
1356
01:10:37,404 --> 01:10:40,073
- And as I reflect on it,
1357
01:10:40,574 --> 01:10:44,286
I realize that the journey continues.
1358
01:10:44,286 --> 01:10:47,122
As I've said before, I may not tour again.
1359
01:10:47,122 --> 01:10:49,124
I may not be able to tour again.
1360
01:10:49,541 --> 01:10:52,002
It doesn't mean that the desire is lost.
1361
01:10:52,878 --> 01:10:56,715
But at the core,
there's been a lot of love.
1362
01:10:57,799 --> 01:11:01,094
Love for each other,
love for the mission,
1363
01:11:01,094 --> 01:11:02,429
love for the music,
1364
01:11:03,263 --> 01:11:07,309
love for the people
whose lives it touched.
1365
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,146
And for that,
I'll be eternally grateful.
1366
01:11:11,146 --> 01:11:12,940
We're not supposed to still be here.
1367
01:11:14,274 --> 01:11:16,235
History yet again.
1368
01:11:16,235 --> 01:11:17,611
That's right.
1369
01:11:17,611 --> 01:11:19,446
Because I set out to do somethin'
1370
01:11:19,446 --> 01:11:23,534
and was able to dare to dream.
1371
01:11:24,326 --> 01:11:27,037
I truly, like it or not, am a romantic.
1372
01:11:27,037 --> 01:11:31,250
You know, I still believe in...
in the dream,
1373
01:11:31,250 --> 01:11:33,126
and in thinkin' that any kid
1374
01:11:33,126 --> 01:11:36,338
watching this right now
in his garage can do this.
1375
01:11:37,965 --> 01:11:41,927
Where am I a year later,
a year after the surgery?
1376
01:11:41,927 --> 01:11:46,348
I'm participating in the process
and measuring the progress.
1377
01:11:47,558 --> 01:11:49,685
I love that I'm still full
of piss and vinegar
1378
01:11:49,685 --> 01:11:51,186
at 61 years old.
1379
01:11:51,186 --> 01:11:53,272
I love that I got up at 6:30 this morning
1380
01:11:53,272 --> 01:11:55,232
and first played tennis,
then went to the gym,
1381
01:11:55,232 --> 01:11:57,734
then went to vocal therapy
all before noon.
1382
01:11:58,151 --> 01:12:01,405
You know, it's-- but that's what
makes me who I am.
1383
01:12:04,449 --> 01:12:06,577
That's my story.
1384
01:12:06,952 --> 01:12:08,579
I work at it every day
1385
01:12:09,079 --> 01:12:13,584
with the hope that I can say
"One, two, three, four"
1386
01:12:14,168 --> 01:12:16,545
one more time, and I'm trying.
1387
01:12:17,296 --> 01:12:19,590
One, two, three, four!
1388
01:12:19,590 --> 01:12:21,091
As we sit here today,
1389
01:12:21,091 --> 01:12:24,636
you know, I still have 26 new songs
sitting in a notebook
1390
01:12:24,636 --> 01:12:26,263
ready to go for a next record
1391
01:12:26,263 --> 01:12:28,182
because there's always that opportunity
1392
01:12:28,182 --> 01:12:30,184
to write down another memory
1393
01:12:30,184 --> 01:12:33,854
and bring it to life
and share it with others.
1394
01:12:40,277 --> 01:12:45,157
But as I'd said all along,
that if I can't do it at 102%,
1395
01:12:46,116 --> 01:12:47,618
then I say, "Thank you and goodnight."
