Chyba większość fanów Bon Jovi kojarzy Johnny'ego Lima'ę...
Parę dni temu został opublikowany z nim wywiad na myglobalmind.
Wklejam parę zdań nawiązujących do Bon Jovi:
"
You are very often compared to Bon Jovi and I can tell you that you’ve outdone their latest album „
What About Now“ in all points. I heard people saying things like „The new
BJ album should have sound like this.“. What do you think about such statements and the never ending
Bon Jovi comparisons?
Johnny: I don’t mind the comparisons, as
Bon Jovi’s a great band. But I’ve never heard of
Bon Jovi doing a song like MY REVOLUTION or HAPPILY EVER AFTER YOU or TELL ME LIES or DIRTY GIRLS and the list goes on. Maybe a very small percentage of this album would fit on a
Bon Jovi record. So not sure why anyone would say this is an album
Bon Jovi should’ve done. They’ve NEVER done an album that rocks this hard. I think people say that kind of stuff because of what they’ve read or heard in the past. “Livin’ Out Loud” was far from
Bon Jovi as any other album. It’s just there’s one or two songs that might sound similar and people just gravitate towards that. They’ll hear a song like BLAME IT ON LOVE and say I sound like
Bon Jovi. Well what about all the other songs?
By the way: what do you think about the „hard working man“-image from people like
Jon Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen in comparison to their overpriced tickets sales?
Johnny: Well, there’s obviously people willing to pay the prices. So I say good for them. I think an artist has a right to charge whatever they want. But let’s not forget, the promoters are the ones that set the price of the ticket."
P.S. Do tych porównań (trochę na siłę/trochę nie) Johnnego do BJ dodałbym od siebie jeszcze nieśmiertelne "Hard To Say Goodbye"
