Hmm, well, it's much, much better compared to R&J performed by the killers. Although I like the killers, their version of R&J is horrible... ::)

Anyway, I like JBJ too. Ah, well, his music, most of it then. ;D

Can't stand The Killer's version of R&J, either. It sounds overproduced and polished. Bon Jovi's version sounds honest.

I don't like both Bon Jovi and covers of Mark's songs, but this video didn't annoy me, it's strange enough ???

JB is who he is. Yes his band is mainstream stadium pop rock. And I dislike the commercial road they have taken. But they all play their guitars on their own, as does MK. And they worked hard to get where they are. Just as MK. I don't expect you to like Bon Jovi. But just think about it.

By the way I'm pretty sure 90 percent of the JB haters here would totally dig him if he decided to collaborate with MK tomorrow.

Sure they deserve respect. I have several good friends who are huge fans of Bon Jovi and it's true that 100 Million Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong (c).
I don't like the music they make and Jon's voice, but awareness of Jon's attitude to Mark makes me feel more tolerant to him and his band.
It's easy to scold a musician if you don't like his music, and it's hard to admit that he is just out of your circle of likes... My weak point always.

I used to like the early Bon Jovi stuff until his "New Jersey" cd, good hard rock, but then they turn themselfs in a soft rock / AOR band, pretty boring to me. But if the man says he admires Mark Knopfler and he wish he would had written R & J, well, Respect!!!!

That's a Jon Bon Jovi song. He did the Blaze Of Glory OST alone. And got nominated for an oscar BTW. MK never was.

I never understood what rule them to make one or another song nominated, nomination for Oscar is not evidence for a quality (subjective or objective) of a song  ::) I always wonder why they make the choice they make  ???
I'm not about BJ's song now, just wanna say that argument with oscar is not very potent  ;)
