Interviews

Thanks, Heidi, and Lily for these :)

First up, a print interview (full article is here).   This is an older one, from when they were in London promoting the record, and some of it was excerpted in other articles, but it some bits of it made me laugh.  Some of my favorite bits:

You’ve been together for almost thirty years, that’s a milestone that most young bands today won’t ever reach...
Richie Sambora: We’ve been together for a lot of years and we’re like a family; we’re like brothers. We have a great job to be able to create together. It’s like a sexless marriage! But in essence, we all enjoy what we do together. Yeah, we have problems but it’s a happy balance. All is good in Bon Jovi world!

Did it bother you back in the Eighties when you were describes as a metal hair band?
Jon Bon Jovi: It’s bothersome for anyone to be lumped into a certain genre because you’re judging a book by its cover. But the only revenge I guess is still being here.

Richie Sambora: Time proves itself right – or wrong. And for the record, Bono had more of a mullet than I did!

A fun read to be sure.

Then there are some radio interviews, all of which are up on the Mediafire.

One is from Mix 100 (Denver's Best Music), another from Mix 94.1FM

One from Jon's birthday (apparently) with Sophie @103.7FM

One from Kelly Urich.

Also a couple from the AJ in the Morning show.
