    About this ebook

    The first-ever official Bon Jovi book celebrates the band’s 25th anniversary with previously untold stories straight from Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, and Tico Torres, and never-before-seen photographs from Phil Griffin (known for his Bon Jovi documentary When We Were Beautiful, as well as for collaborations with Amy Winehouse, Prince, Annie Lenox, Kings of Leon, and Paul McCartney). This one-of-a-kind biography will bring back the heyday of classic songs like “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “You Give Love A Bad Name” in the 1980s, and transport newer fans to the tour bus alongside Bon Jovi’s recent Lost Highway and Circle tours—it’s the perfect gift for anyone born to rock.

      200+ pages of them kissing each other's ass and no real "behind the scenes" info. It was okay, nothing to really rave about.

      This book is the companion to the documentary of the same name. This is a 'coffee table' book so the emphasis is on the photography, with a minimal amount of words, most of which is presented in an interview style format. For the big fan, this book is a must. I am a fan, but I have seen much better presentations and the while the quality of the photos are fine, and they do appear to capture the band in off moments where they seem pensive, tired, or bored, but they were often posed, and sometimes they felt contrived, and there weren't enough photos of Dave, plus the book was way too short. After twenty-five years, I would think there would be a wealth of photos to share. It was OK.

      An enjoyable insight to one of the biggest rock bands in the UK (Here in the UK we describe Bon Jovi as a rock band). A group that seems to have been around forever, and still as good. Fans of music will enjoy this book
    • 5/5
      Let me start by saying that if you are a Bon Jovi fan, this is a book that you will want to have on your coffee table. You can only imagine how tickled pink I was to open this book and find so many full page photographs from the very same concert that I attended in 2008! This book gives you an honest look into the lives of the band and the path they followed that brought them where they are today.As they look back at the beginning of their career it seems to me that when they hit it big, they hit it big fast. Although the stardom I'm sure was fun and exciting for them I think it was also hard having to keep up with such a fast pace. When they were doing those early tours they didn't even own homes but seemed to just live from hotel to hotel and I can't even imagine that. I also remember a period of time when you really didn't hear much about Bon Jovi. This would have been the time when they took a much needed break, and they talk about this time in the book. It was a tough time for everyone and I think they all seemed to have their own ideas for the future of the band.It was after this break when Jon approached the members and said that they need to get their minds in order before they can succeed as a band again, and that is when he suggested that they all see a 'shrink'. Even though they were pretty hesitant about this idea they went through with Jon's suggestion and found it was probably the best thing they could have ever done. This act put them on a path to better communication and let them realize that they all have different gifts to offer to the band.Jon shares with us in this book how important it is for him to write songs that move people. He also shares with us how he wants people to enjoy their songs just as much ten years from now as today. Well I am definitely hoping to see the documentary that this book was made to accompany. I am probably biased because I have been a Bon Jovi fan since high school in the eighties, but they are still my favorite! Unfortunately, because of my location I did not have the opportunity to see Bon Jovi live back then. I wasn't able to go to my first show until a couple of years ago, and I can tell you one thing that I said: "I will never miss seeing this band again!" It truly was an amazing concert and if you enjoy their music you will not be disappointed! They have successfully reached out to all generations because when I looked around that arena I saw ages of people that ranged fifty years. And I also want to say that they put on the best show that I have ever seen! So I think you can tell from my review that I enjoyed this book, and if you enjoy Bon Jovi I think you will also.

      There should be 2 ratings for When We Were Beautiful - one for the fantastic and moving photos of the band, and one for the content. As far as content goes, you really do not learn anything about Bon Jovi other than they truly are a band of brothers. They stand together and have for 25 years now and will continue to do so for however long they last. Jon is, hands-down, the visionary of the band and leads the way for Tico, David and Richie. Truly enjoyable.
