riff/rock = BON JOVI
Hard/slow but ROCKING!!!
I have been a fan since 1984 and I am 38 – riff rock is Slippery, New Jersey, These Days….

Rest assured, my wife usually makes very, very sure I'm clear on that point. In this case he was talking informally, but I changed it in the text to make it more clear.

It's Bon Jovi THE BAND!. It was not JON BON JOVIS last record, it was BON JOVI'S last record. They are a band!!! It will be THEIR new CD!!! lol. Can't believe people are still thinking BON JOVI means JON BON JOVI… they are two different things. JON BON JOVI sings for BON JOVI which is a band consisting of JON, RICHIE, TICO, AND DAVE!!!

At first I only read the article because I saw the picture of JBJ in it but then I continued reading and I think you're right! I'm only 13 but I agree with everything you wrote.. Thanks for sharing..

The british rockband Status Quo has an album with covers out that is called riffs. Like AC/Dc the band produces an enormous mass of 3 chord boogie that gets millions of fans up and going. There ain't nothing like! If Bon Jovi goes riffs there be an album with 12 I believes and that gotta be the mother of all rockalbums.

Great article, informative & humorous! I've been a huge BJ fan since their beginning and am an fc member (Just Older now, lol!), so as far as I'm concerned you couldn't pick a more perfect subject for your article than Jon. You are so right about the internet. People rely on it too much. It can have you going in circles trying to find out something, looking at all sorts of different places, without ever finding out what you want to know. You just go from site to site, either being told they don't know and/or referring you to another site. In regards to riff rock, I happen to know what it is only because my brother plays guitar so I know from him. I did enjoy your article nonetheless. The internet…. things that make you go "hmmmm…"

Really enjoyed your article. We were at the concert also and like you we had no idea what riff rock is. We had just been talking about it when I read your column. Your comments about expecting to find any information you need on the internet are spot on – perceptive and funny, too.
