Bon Jovi plays Romeo and Juliet

As an intro for his song "Always"

Nice tribute to DS!

I suppose it's a compliment to DS, but quite nauseating!

I just can't stand bands like that. Then again, I don't have one pop album in my collection.

I thought that was a nice tribute to Mark, and Jon Bon Jovi is a huge MK fan, he has said in lots of interviews about how much he admires Mark and his music, and the song Always has a line taken directly from R&J "I can't sing a love song, like the way its meant to be" I remember reading an interview with JBJ and he said that R&J is one song he would love to have written himself.

Personally I love any form of tribute to MK/DS from a famous artist. This is no exception as far as I'm concerned. Again, Mark Knopfler will forever go down in history as a real musicians, musician. He is a legend and deserves all kind of tributes where possible.

I agree with the above. Even that I detest bands like Bon Jovi, and that Metallica's version of BIA was simply awful, it is nice that Mark gets the recognition.

[Love Expresso]

The idea itself is ok, it is just that I just can't stand this guy, so sorry for my yuk.

I really liked The Killers version of R & J and I agree that it is great that other bands pay tribute to MK by playing his songs.

it's allright, just don't do it again, OK?

THANK YOU! My thoughts exactly.

Why are there so many people who dislike Bon Jovi, anyway?

Because they're a bland, derivative over-hyped and over-commercialised cock-rock band.

But JBJ likes MK, so that's OK.

So I am a fan of a bland, derivative over-hyped and over-commercialised cock-rock band. Fine, I can live with that. Because I know there are FAR worse bands out there.
