When I was growing up I actually was into Bon Jovi!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's just cool to me that Bon Jovi knows my name!
Jon Bon Jovi is remarkable.
We've been around for almost three decades now - there's about three generations of Bon Jovi fans.
Queen and Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses - I had a huge rock-band mania. I play a little bit of drums.
My favorites growing up were always Billy Joel, Michael Jackson... and Placido Domingo.
Growing up, I liked all the stuff that everyone else was listening to, like Motown, but the biggest group of all was The Beatles.
There's a large opportunity for Bon Iver to be a special thing, even from a business standpoint - just trying to do cooler things. Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I'm sick of being like everyone else, because I'm not.
I grew up in a musical atmosphere at home.
My parents were big music fans, and my dad plays music, so I grew up with Madonna, Frank Zappa, the Beatles, Alice In Chains... it was all over the place. I had a Third Eye Blind record, but I also had Korn, Courtney Love, and Shania Twain.
Well, the stuff that I liked growing up was AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, but I also liked the Beatles and guys like Cat Stevens and Elton John.
