Who Does It Better Than Bon Jovi?

Who does it better than Bon Jovi? Born in 1983, the group outflanks all competitors. Bon Jovi knows how to put their best foot forward.

What’s on your playlist? I listen to You Give Love A Bad Name all the time. I also have Livin’ on a Prayer added on there. After all, in this cruel world isn’t everybody livin’ on a prayer. “Take my hand we’ll make it I swear.”

Bon Jovi speaks to the soul. The members are like priests performing exorcisms with their music. These celebrities take the time to put their blood, sweat, and tears into their songs.

The I’ll Be There For You band has constantly topped the charts. With 2.35 million Twitter followers and counting, they sell records from Johannesburg to New England. They also put up big numbers at shows.

You see Bon Jovi’s performances spark wonders. You can count on Jon Bon Jovi to stretch his voice to the seventh heaven. David Bryan may not be as famous as Luke Bryan but he can pick the keys one by one. And don’t get me started on Tico Torres. Saying that Tico Torres bangs the drum better than most is an understatement. Hugh Mcdonald doesn’t make a mistake on the bass. Finally, the blazing guitar of Phil X completes the recipe that is all of Bon Jovi.

To answer my question, no one does it better than Bon Jovi.

Music makes the world go ’round. Hear what I’m saying, now. Everything can potentially become music to your ears. The way she speaks to you in that special tone is music. The way our car engine rumbles is music.

Guru Jay thinks he has figured out the world. Let me elaborate some more. Let’s start the show!

Today’s blog is all about music and greatness. Who is the greatest music artist? Maybe, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Prince in that order.

A better question is who’s music makes the world go ’round the most. I feel that’s a difficult question to answer because first of all what defines the world? Are we living under the same sun but in two different worlds?

I’ve climbed a different mountain than you. I’ve seen Hollywood stars through a different set of lens. Did you know I wear glasses? Not prescription but sunglasses because I’m cool. And you ladies and gents are the coolest fans on the Planet Earth. I know I’ve got some cool fans on Mars by now. Shout out to Elon Musk and Google.

Put it to you this way. Like Elvis, I can’t help falling in love with you and some things are meant to be. You’re meant to read GuruJay.com right now.

Where are my Michael Jackson fans? You all are the most precious on the globe. Happy Belated Halloween! Because this is “Thriller, Thriller, Night. You’re fighting for your life!”

Maybe, Prince was the greatest because he owned all his work. The artist known by a symbol was a true businessman. He left behind wealth in terms of financial and musical.

Maybe, nobody can be better than Elvis. In total, Elvis sold approximately 1 billion records. So it’s safe to say if alive he would be a billionaire. What is more, he has nearly 1 billion fans. It seems like there a billion Presley impersonators. Plus,the Blue Suede shoe salesman leads a quarter million Twitter followers.

Michael Jackson has 76 million Facebook likes. Prince made Purple Rain and the rest is history. To conclude, I’ve come to a conclusion that Elvis, Michael Jackson and Prince made the world go ’round with their music.

Brace for full impact because Metallica delivers the total package. Who has a more devoted fan base than this heavy/ trash metal band? Without question, the Los Angeles based group embraces financial backers in the form of venture capitalists and groupies. Just like fans, Rock Stars come in all shapes and sizes but the truly great ones are standouts.

How do you explain the band’s longevity? Let’s talk about solvency and liquidity. These music guys have been in business longer than some of America’s biggest corporations. Plus Metallica maximizes its strengths and passes the STRESS test with flying colors.

Metallica appeals to a variety of individuals. However, a hardcore demographic supports the band and makes it money. Are you a diehard fan?

What are your favorite Metallica songs of all time? My top 5 are: 1. Until It Sleeps 2. The Unforgiven 3. One 4. Whiskey In the Jar and 5. Nothing Else Matters. Next question: do you know the lyrics by heart?

James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett had it all figured out in the early 1980s before we were born. Later, Robert Trujillo would join them and make a foursome on par with the Beatles. I believe Metallica is in Beatles territory.

You see they built their reputations brick by brick. The Rock Stars finely downloaded their images one pixel at a time. What is more, they knew when it was time to innovate. Metallica stuck it out together when others would have disbanded. Give extra credit to Hetfield for being a visionary.

Metallica is the purest band in the business. Watching them perform is like seeing Captain America: Civil War again. Every guy is equipped with armor and knows their superpower. That’s why their concerts need the tightest security.

Brace for full impact as Metallica comes on stage.

How The Beatles Created Seismic Waves

The Beatles created seismic waves while on their world tours. No other group has wielded as much influence in music as these 4 individuals from Liverpool, England. George Harrison’s guitar and Ringo Starr’s drums could fetch millions of dollars on Amazon. John Lennon’s lyrics actually hypnotize you. And Sir Paul McCartney’s Grammys were designed to serve a purpose.

Fans went wild during the Beatles performances. Laryngitis was a common ailment at concerts since girls literally screamed at the top of their lungs. Plus security was super tight because the Beatles maintained a high profile.

Moreover, the Fab Four’s effect on entertainment is still felt. The rock stars rocked the industry- taking all its marbles. Do you know how extremely difficult it would be to duplicate their success right now?

There are more than just a few chapters dedicated to the Beatles in the book of pop culture. Paul McCartney and John Lennon have a couple chapters written exclusively for them. You see music has always been and will forever be a major component of world history. From Mozart and Beethoven to the Beatles and beyond, organized sounds intrigue us.

Jimi Hendrix loved the Beatles. He covered Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band soon after the album debuted. All the legends recognized the English band’s greatness and fandom.

The band of brothers have sold over 65 million albums. It seems every song they created was a hit. My favorite ones are Hey Jude, All You Need Is Love, Revolution, Let It Be, and Come Together. Astonishingly, we can connect through their music. Tell me your favorites.

The Stage Is Set

It takes a unique person to be a celebrity. Being famous takes a toll on your emotions. Still, some people are destined for fame and fortune. The Beatles were undeniable.

And so, the stage is set. Shout out to Paul, John, George, and Ringo. Or you could scream.

Why Lenny Kravitz Is Addicting

The lean Lenny Kravitz grabs headlines because his music motivates others to go on a diet. Guitar Hero developers had his image in mind when creating their popular video game. I still remember the first time I played Guitar Hero in a college apartment. It was addicting.

Lenny Kravitz is living the good life. The American Woman singer is fulfilling the American Dream.

I’m a long time fan. For a major part of last week, I’ve listened to Lenny Kravitz’s CDs and read several articles about the rock star. He has an interesting story.

When he first started his record label told him he didn’t sing “black” or “white” enough. As you know, Lenny Kravitz is half African and half Jewish. Fortunately, someone else’s doubt didn’t stop the musician from making music.

Today, Lenny Kravitz is known from New York to Moscow. He has a great reputation to live up to. Plus, his beautiful daughter Zoe gives him an extra sense of pride as a Hollywood actress in high demand.

Although he divorced her mother Lisa Bonet, the parents are on good terms. You see Lenny Kravitz is cool. One minute Justin Bieber’s posing with him. The next minute, you see his leather pants rip on stage. The celebrity could have been embarrassed about it, but the show goes on instead.

I believe this will be a special year in music. The Grammys rarely take place on Monday. And Kanye West’s most recent Tweet directed at Mark Zuckerberg is nothing short of amazing. I agree with Kanye 100 percent. That’s why I wrote this piece called Kanye West and 60s/70s Music.

Lenny Kravitz’s creativity compares to Kanye West’s artistry. Like the College Dropout rapper, Kravitz expresses his creative ideas, only a little differently. Like Guitar Hero, Lenny Kravitz is addicting.

Have you heard Carlos Santana’s electric guitar? How can I describe the creative sounds of Carlos Santana? Imagine paradise.

Have you noticed the best entertainers are eccentric? Like other celebrities, Santana has pet peeves. You see the music artist knows exactly what he wants do, and where he needs to go.

After nearly 50 years of activity, he hasn’t slowed down yet or missed a beat. It’s safe to say he follows the law of self-preservation. How about sipping some champagne in his honor?

If you desire to master the science of electricity, apprentice under an electrician. If you desire to master the arts of the electric guitar, utilize Carlos Santana as your mentor. What is more, the dynamic music artist is willing to teach.

Nowadays, finding exemplary entertainers is extremely difficult. Understandably, no one wants to lose his or her edge. That why some singers seem sketchy.

They think one hit will suffice. That’s when you realize how precious the Mexican sensation is to true artistry. You know that Santana sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears.

Plus, his passion resonates with people. His music connects with Latin America as well as the whole world. I’ve heard him do some things I thought only Jimi Hendrix could do.

Who else can make his guitar talk like Oprah? What other guitarist receives as much respect as Carlos Santana? If you search his music catalog, I guarantee you’ll find hidden gems. Discovering this music artist is similar to walking on the moon.

Finally, his sound harmonizes a performance. Singers can feel his powerful presence on a song. How amazing is this musician?

It is a magnificent sight beholding his beautiful music. Don’t you enjoy his creative sounds? Unfortunately, practicing day and night won’t get you to where Santana is now.

I believe his abilities are God-given.

Greatness requires routine observation, keen attention, and constant reflection. Remember, the only way to improve yourself is through working hard and smarter and practicing. Moreover, the best lead vocalists practice longevity.
