Joel Ellis accuses Jon Bon Jovi of stealing his song!

Yeah, I've heard the PBF story too. But the debut CD actually credits Stiles with the song writing, doesn't it?

 

What's sad is that if 'Size really does matter' is Summers' first attempt at song writing, I think ripping off another dude was the right way to go.

 

 

nevertheless the debut pbf disc is without a doubt one of finest glam albums out........

 

it's shame to know there is s sinister side to that cd.......

True. I couldn't care less who wrote it... the thing is one of my all-time fave albums and nothing will ever change that fact.

So:

 

Jon Bongiovi - Thief

 

Richie Sambora - Drunken Driver

 

Tico Torres - Bad Mullet

 

Alec Such - Shitty Bassist

 

David Bryan - Bad Perm

 

Should have locked them all up a long time ago maybe!! :lol:

 

 

in all honesty, bands have been feeding off each other for so long now it's become the norm.

i'm not condoning what jbj has "alleged" to have done but the more you listen out there the more you "re hear".

i do hope jbj makes a healthy donation to mr ellis if thats possible, after all the power ballad in questionis one of the finest compsotions EVER IMHO.

 

another point to clarify is why has joel taken his sweet time in coming out with this revelation, why not a court case, if he truely doesn't care why reveal.....? Turn it on Joel :) ( what a great song btw, one of all time faves )

its a dog eat dog world, you want it bad enough, youll go to extreme lengths to get it...

 

no-one ever got anywhere without dirtying their hands a little.....i bet most famous people have a few skeletons in their closet so to speak...

 

So are you saying that if Jon and Richie did steal other artists songs that it's okay? :unsure:

 

no, im just saying its not like theyre the only rockstars that have gotten their hands dirty in one way or another..

So it's okay because other people have done it? Or was Richie drinking? ;)

JBJ = "Copycat,Copycat,don't know what you're lookin' at"

 

is it possible to talk about Bon Jovi without the thread turning into a general pisstake? this is, after all, the place to talk about 80s stadium rock, is it not?

I thought that was JBJ's latest opus :whistle:

Just remember im not the one who starts these threads -_-

 

infact, i refrain from starting any Bon Jovi related threads for this reason

When your sense of humour was bypassed,where'd it go ?

im actually kinda interested in wether or not JBJ did rip off this guys song....when every threadlike this turns into a Bon Jovi pisstake it gets tiresome..

 

do you guys not realise that this site is primarily about Hair Metal? a style that Bon Jovi were very well known for in the 80s....they are the only decentband of our genre that you guys constantly take the piss out of, just because theyve released a couple of crap albums lately..

 

well so have Europe, Poison and Warrant, you dont take the piss out of themEVERY time theyre mentioned though, do you?

 

ok, maybe you do on the Poison one

'A couple of crap albums lately' is pushing it a little!! - try Haven't done a really decent album since 'New Jersey' 20 years ago. That fits a little better I think.

    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that

    • I have always been an on/off fan of Priest. Loved Ram it down and Painkiller, then kinda lost interest when Rob left. Only newer albums I ever got around to picking up were Angel of retribution because I saw it real cheap and Nostrodamus as I found the deluxe edition cheap as well. With this one though I was interested in what I heard and saw the deluxe edition looked cool. I then saw they were selling copies on the JP website with a signed art card in both standard and deluxe format, but baulked at the price of the deluxe as they were charging an extra £10 over the unsigned version, and postage was lumpy ... plus I was a few days from getting paid. By the time I went back on there the signed deluxe was gone but they had the standard version with the signed card and it was the same price as the unsigned version (guess nobody was buying it) so decided to buy that and order the deluxe from Amazon, keep the artcard and sell the standard CD on eBay as it is still sealed. So yeah, been playing the album today and on my third (or is it fourth) playthrough, and absolutely loving it. When bands like Bon Jovi are  getting soft as shit with age, Rob and the guys are still full on metal gods. At 72, Rob should not be able to still perform like this, but he fucking well is, so more power to him. Really good start to the year so far with the 2024 albums I have picked up.
    • Evidently, Tichy has joined up with Gene Simmons' solo band, and the Daisies replaced him with Tommy Clufetos who'd helped them out before. Be interesting to see how much more there is to the story....
