- IT'S MY
LIFE...it's the typical BJ fan's life!  The video is hitting
airwaves all over the world (but not in the US or Canada just yet...) and getting an
amazing response... For those of you who have not seen it yet, here's some info. A young
man, "Tommy", is working on his computer and watching BJTV which shows a secret
Bon Jovi concert happening... at the same time, he's called by his girlfriend who yells at
him to meet her at the show in the tunnel. The rest of the video is Tommy's struggle to
make it to the concert by running all over the city to get there in time...
"Tommy" is WILL ESTES (JBJ's co-star in U-571; Will plays "Rabbit")
who, believe it or not, did most of his own stunts, and his girlfriend is played by SHIRI
APPLEBY (from the WB's TV series "Roswell)... On his way to the secret gig,
Tommy hitches a ride on a garbage truck, runs through traffic, encounters a few more
obstacles... think of it as an homage to "run lola run"... Interspersed
throughout this is performance footage of BON JOVI singing live in the tunnel... The video
was shot by WAYNE ISHAM in Los Angeles over several days in March (the band's footage was
shot on March 19th when all the fans were asked to be there) before having all the special
fx magic added to it... It's a FUN video, the guys look HOT... what more could you ask
for? You could ask for more of it! Bombard MTV all over the
world requesting this video...Since the US is on a later schedule, MTV here doesn't
have it yet ... but start demanding it NOW! - Taken from backstagejbj.com

| - An article from Rolling Stone
Magazine : Like cowboys on steel horses, the men of Bon Jovi have circled their
wagons to bring us more of the bad medicine they know we need: The original lineup has
recorded a new album at Jon's Jersey home studio. The sessions were captured live and can
be seen on the band's Web site as well as on RollingStone.com. "We're about to start
the mixing process," Jon reports from home. "We're making a big old rock record,
very much like New Jersey and Slippery; happy, happy, happy. If the world can accept that
again, we've got it for 'em." Jon is not turning his back on his walks in Chelsea,
but he's ready to kick it up a notch. "We were going through a time in our lives
where we wanted to write 'Keep the Faith' and do our solo albums. The band's never broken
up, and it just came to be time for us to do something again." Jon, for his part, was
packing heat. "I came in with thirty songs written. But maybe about four made the
record. We wrote another thirty. I've never spent a year and a half writing, nor have I
ever had sixty songs to pick from." This next statement might give Jon a bad name
with the ol' school, but, hey, a band's gotta grow! "The first two singles are
guitar-heavy, but like Lit and Smash Mouth, not like Creed or Limp Bizkit," he says.
"I can't really see me doing that. I'm still boring old me." (Included with this blurb was a photo of Jon, Richie, and Mark Hudson taken from the webcast.) Taken from BackstageJBJ (31.01.00) |

| - NEW MOVIE : JON BON JOVI has just accepted a role in the movie "PAY IT FORWARD" (which is based upon the Catherine Ryan Hyde novel) starring HELEN HUNT, KEVIN SPACEY and HALEY JOEL OSMENT. The story is about a young boy's attempt to make the world a better place by inventing a "pay it forward" pyramid scheme in which you do a good deed for three strangers and, instead of returning the favor to its giver, the recipients of your kindness are obligated to "pay it forward" by doing a good deed for three more individuals. (don't worry! the scheduling is such that it WON'T affect the upcoming Bon Jovi album or tour!) The movie will be directed by Mimi Leder (she directed The Peacekeeper and Deep Impact) and distributed by Warner Brothers. More info soon...- Taken from BackstageJBJ (21.01.00) | |||
