The producers of Young Guns 2 wanted to use Wanted: Dead or Alive in the soundtrack. Jon said no but offered to write this original song instead. He had a cameo in the movie. Bon Jovi started in the early 80s. This song was Jon Bon Jovi solo and not the band.
I think they were smart to let him write a different song for the movie. This one fits better than Wanted Dead or Alive. It fits Billy the Kids attitude.
I heard that they came to him wanting to use “Wanted Dead Or Alive” for Young Guns. For whatever reason he said no but offered to write and perform some original music for the movies. He did the music for both of the Young Gun movies..
@@theartistformerlyknownaslu3871 He did an entire concept album with 10 songs for the movie (this song is the title-track), featuring stars like Jeff Beck, Little Richard and Elton John. I think his masterpiece as a solo artist.
Yes, my favorite song from Bon Jovi. He came onto the scene in 1984 with the self-titled album, Bon Jovi. A song called "Runaway" was the first single released and it's good song as well. Thanks for the Reaction and Great Job.
So this song is for Young Guns II. Emilio Estevez wanted the song Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi but Jon said no he will something and he wrote this song and the soundtrack. Jon won a golden globe. Documentary on Bon Jovi on Hulu currently.
If you haven't checked it out yet, check out "Wanted Dead or Alive," "Lay Your Hands on Me," "Bad Medicine," and "Runaway." Those bring back some memories.
If ya wanna SEE Jon Bon Jovi preform on videos you know …… You give love a bad name, Always, Bed of Roses, This ain’t a love song, wanted dead or alive…… So many hits & he’s a magnificent song writer. You’re Welcome .
This song changed my life. As a real OG gangster growing up in NYC in the 90's, Bon Jovi was my ideal role model. We were 17 yr old cowboys back then on the streets. This song rang in my head all my life...Doogie
Anyone checking out Bon Jovi should definitely check out Livin’ on a Prayer and You Give Love a Bad Name. Probably their two most famous songs. You ladies are the best!
An awsome song by a great songwriter❤️. It’s about Billy the kid of course who died at age 22 in 1881 and was ”THE”Outlaw at that time. Loved your reaction as always 😍❤️👍🏻..!
I saw Bon Jovi live for the first time when they opened for RATT on their very first tour. Continued to be a fan throughout the years catching them live numerous times. Sadly like most singers, Jon now struggles live but they have an amazing catalog of music and videos to enjoy!
This song and well the whole movie soundtrack was mostly done by Jon, it is from Young Guns 2. There is still at least 1 Drive thru theater in Wyoming, been open since the 50's I believe.
Aldo Nova wrote the main guitar riff on this and gave it to Jon and later Jon returned the favor by releasing Aldo’s album Blood On the Bricks on his personal record label Jamco Records.
You have to listen to the beginning of the studio version. The beginning is missing. "William H Bonney you are not a god .". "Why don't you pull that trigger and let's find out". That is part of the full version. This is from Young Guns 2 I think.
I agree, the line "Why don't you pull that trigger and let's find out" is very fitting for the character Emilio Estevez plays and for the movie on the whole
I can recommend 3 great Rock classics that you will love listening to. Alphaville - Forever Young, Pseudo Echo - Funkytown and finally one of the greatest rock songs of all time: Talk Talk - It's My Life the video clip for the 3 songs are fantastic
Awesome reaction ladies! I had the Young Guns 2 soundtrack on cassette tape back in the day, I listened to it many times. Awesome album! Thanks for uploading your reaction. Greetings from Southern California 🕺😎
There are two Young Guns movies. This song comes from part 2. Emilio Estevez, who plays Billy the Kid in both, has been trying to do parts 3, 4, and 5. Basically a trilogy off of a novel based on Brushy Bill Roberts. Bill Roberts claimed he was the real Billy the Kid and never died. Witnesses the knew Billy also claimed he was the real deal due to seeing that he had the same scars and wounds from bullets and knifes. The Brushy Bill Roberts story is set up in part 2 as he the one telling the story in the movie. He went on to have many adventures of which they are written in the novel. These stories would make up the new trilogy. Emilio would then use his father, Martin Sheen, to play the older version of Brushy Bill in part 5. Things seemed to be moving forward with the movies, but then the pandemic happened and the movie went into some sort of limbo. To this day it's still stuck in limbo but it seems that it's started slowly move forward. Beside Emilio talking about it, Lou Diamond Phillips and Keifer Sutherland have talked about it as well. Even Christian Slater's character is said to be in the script of the 3rd movie. This means that the ending of the 2nd movie might be retconned in order to bring back some of the popular characters.
4:54 I am the mid-kid.. have an older sister, younger brother, I was always the hrd rock kid, but my sister was head over heels in bon Jovi..me an d my brother named it "girls rock" .. Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Guns n roseswe listened Iron Maiden yeah man!! Hahahaha, years passed, I heard this song, and still not overgrown the "girls hard rock" but this song, yeah .. I love it!!!
This song is part of the soundtrack for "Young Guns 2" starring Emilio Estevez (Son of screen legend Martin Sheen and brother to Charlie Sheen), Keiffer Sutherland (son of legend Donald Sutherland), Lou Diamond Philips, and Christian Slater (brother to the famous actress Helen Slater). The song wasn't featured in the film until the beginning of the end credits sequence. "Young Guns 2" continues a fictional retelling of the adventures of Billy the Kid and his gang during the aftermath following the events of the Lincoln County War of New Mexico which were retold in the first movie, "Young Guns" (which also starred Charlie).. The popularity of "Young Guns" helped establish Emilio, Lou, and Christian as bona fide Hollywood stars while extending Keiffer's fame already realized as a result of the hit horror/comedy/action modern day rock n roll vampire flick "The Lost Boys". Incidentally, "Young Guns" inadvertently planted the seeds for the beginning of the so-called Brat Pack which was a loose rotational collective of young Hollywood talent with Emilio reluctantly at its core.
To have a better feel of the song's spirit for the video, for the duration of the shoot Jon spent the nights right there on that piece of rock, unlike the rest of the people engaged, who stayed at hotel.
Jon wrote this song specifically for the soundtrack to the movie Young Guns II. He won an Oscar for it. Jon is one of the best song writers ever! Check out literally anything by him!
he did wanted dead or alive for the first young guns movie , ended up with the entire sound track of young guns 2 , both awesome movies with a killer cast
Jon Bon Jovi is how he is known in the entertainment world. His name is really John Bongiovi. He is the pride of my home state of New Jersey. If I remember correctly, Emilio Estevez approached John and asked if they could use his song "Wanted Dead or Alive" in the Young Guns II movie. He told Emilio in a sense, I'll do better than that! He made the soundtrack to the movie! I bought the soundtrack when it first came out. Some well-known music legends played on it as well. I believe the late, great, Jeff Beck played lead guitar on this track. Keep rockin' it, ladies!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
One of my underrated favorites Aldo Nova worked on it too. Aldo did the keyboard recording on the song “Runaway” by Bon Jovi. Also Bon Jovi produced one of Aldo Nova’s albums. You might know Aldo Nova’s most famous song on his debut album called “Fantasy.” It’s an absolute kick ass song. Aldo plays almost every instrument on the album, but he’s best on guitar, along with his singing.
Oh man... Aldo played the keyboard track on the song Runaway originally? 😮 Are you sure? I know that guitars are played by Tim Pierce and not Sambora but I always thought that keyboards were played by David Bryan in that song.
@@fuentes_ This is from Aldo Nova’s mouth, but now I think the keyboardist Roy Bittan from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band got credit for it. Jon Bon Jovi's cousin Tony Bongiovi mixed my first album at the Power Station in New York and I got to know Jon at the coffee machine andi invited him to hear my songs. So when it came time for Jon to do the demo of the song Runaway and others his cousin called me up and I was more than glad to come and do it, Jon and Tony were my friends. I went into the studio and it was me on guitar, I did all the background vocals with others and I played keyboards on a lot of tracks on that album too. I was pretty involved with the debut album especially from the initial track Runaway. That track basically got them the record deal they got so much airplay from it , it did really well."
Young Guns 1 and 2 was my favourite movies as a young man... An the whole soundtrack... Oh boy, i played that cassette 'til it broke. Still rewatch the movies and listen to the music today at 45. Some things stick with you. :)
NOt know Bon Jovi? Probably one of the most succesful rock bands of all time lol. LIving on a prayer? Wanted Dead or alive? YOu give love a bad name? Bed of Roses? It's my life? and a few hundred more lol.
During the making of Young Guns (1988), the producers originally wanted to use Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive"; but Jon said in an interview promoting "Blaze of Glory" that the lyrics he wrote for "Dead or Alive" didn't really mesh with the story. When it came to the making of Young Guns II (1990), the producers approached Jon and asked if he could write something that was in tune with the story for this film. He not only wrote "Blaze of Glory", but a series of songs like "Miracle", "Dyin' Ain't Much Of A Living For The Young", "Billy Get Your Guns", and "You Really Got Me Now". Collaborating with artists like Jeff Beck, Little Richard, and Elton John for these songs. He also has a cameo in the movie as well; playing a prisoner who escapes from a jail. "Blaze of Glory" was not just Jon's first #1 hit as a solo artist, it was also a Golden Globe Winner for Best Song from a film (1990), and was nominated for an Academy Award in 1991.
Bon Jovi's has got a big catalog , and worth going down , this particular song and the album that it was on is part of Jon Bon Jovi's solo career , see that's the lead singers name Jon Bon Jovi , the band he's in is called Bon Jovi and they got mega hits LIVING ON A PRAYER BAD MEDICINE WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE BORN TO BE MY BABY YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME Just to name a few like I said they're catalogs large just hit after hit can't go wrong Keep up the good work 👍🏼 3G
Today i think this is awesome metal/rock if i have to be american but in the 80´s i concidered him chick metal coz many girls loved him. Yes this was the music theme in Young guns 2 with Emilio Esteves as Billy the kid. He is a cool and talanted metal singer/song writer.
Jon did another song for this movie, called "Bang a Drum", and it was straight FIRE. It got even better, when he did it as a duet with the late Chris LeDoux. It will forever be one of my favorite songs.
I'm from Brazil and even here bon jovi is a famous rock band... I'll put a list with only famous hits from they: Loving' on a prayer Always Wanted dead of alive Bad of roses It's my life Neve saay goodbye Keep the faith Dry country - live london (the best performance as a band tha i ever see) Bad of roses You give love a bad name Every day Man there are so many...
The movie this was featured in, “Young Guns II”, is one of my favorite flicks. I’m not the biggest western fan but that film has so much storytelling in it. And the characters that make up its world are all so memorable. I give Bon Jovi credit for writing a song that fit the film perfectly.
9:42 you where right Donna, my good lady.. Young Guns, and singer Bon Jovi had a filler role at "the final stand" in the movie.. don well old fart, hahaha, big cheers and hugs from The Netherlands!!! You educate these two well, keep up the good work, great channel !!
I remember seeing him in the prisoner pit with Chavez and Doc. He was shot in the head and fell backwards into the pit when the prisoners were escaping.
Young Guns II soundtrack Jon wrote. Ladies, watch the movie its actually good if you like western movies. Elton jon also sang in this soundtrack song called Dying aint much of a living.
The combination of Jon and Richie is epic! Bon Jovi has hundreds of great songs. One of the first cassettes I bought with my own money was Slippery When Wet. This is from the Young Guns soundtrack.
young guns II - epic movie, epic soundtrack. you should definitely check out "always" and "santa fe", which is also from the young guns soundtrack and not so popular, but one of his absolute best songs of all time.
At that time JBJ was already a renowned artist, world-famous performer and a valued songwriter. He was 28 when the movie (Young Guns II) came out, so he wrote music "for and inpired by" it probably about a year earlier. He also had a small role in the movie. That is not very agey at all, but he started out making money on music, playing the guitar and the piano in bars when he was 13. So by that time he was already a seasoned musician.
Jon wrote a fantastic song for Stevie Nicks, called "Sometimes It's a Bitch (Sometimes It's a Breeze)". Absolutely a smash banger! All three of you would love it.
Another suggestion for y'all by bon Jovi is called "you give love a bad name" also another great song by bon Jovi is "wanted dead or alive" if y'all are interested
Bon Jovi is the band, Jon Bon Jovi is the lead singer of that band. It was the theme song for Young Guns. The bands mega popular Album "Slippery When Wet" made them famous. Wantes Dead or Alive is another Western themed song on that album.
The whole young guns soundtrack cd is awesome. Yes Jon is STILL performing and recording. Bon Jovi has a new cd dropping in June called forever and at 62 with grey hair he still is a hunk. Just ask his wife if 35 years Dorthea. Take care y'all
Just was wondering if Donna or Chad might know these two Texas rock bands from the Dallas/ fort Worth area. They are blood rock and nitzinger? Blood rock had a song called D.O.A. played on the radio in the late 60s early 70s and nitzinger had a song called L.A. Texas boy. Jim Rutledge was the lead vocalist of blood rock and John nitzinger was the lead vocalist and guitarist, bugs Henderson was on bass and Linda wearing was on drums..and she played those drums hard and heavy like any male drummer would. Check them out.
