Bon Jovi Rocks A Crowd of 90,000 With “You Give Love A Bad Name”!

Bon Jovi’s These Days Tour Heads To London

The band that’s seen a million faces and rocked them all rocked at least 90,000 more when they performed to Wembley Stadium’s packed house in 1995! Bon Jovi’s These Days Tour featured the band’s entire catalog, including hits like ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’. It’s performances like this that make me wish I’d been old enough to enjoy Bon Jovi during their glory days of massive arena tours, because let’s face it – there wasn’t a band alive that could top Bon Jovi’s charisma and live energy!

Speaking Of Charisma And Live Energy…

Bon Jovi tried to make conceptual music videos, and failed when they released the video for ‘Runaway’. After that, the band stuck to straight performance videos, showcasing their charisma and live energy.

What a killer performance! Between the energy of the crowd and the band feeding off of that energy, this rendition of ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’ goes down in the books as one of Bon Jovi’s top performances, hands down.

Despite this performance being over 20 years ago, Bon Jovi is still performing with that same level of charisma and energy, never sacrificing quality for the sake of a great show.

+ You Give Love A Bad Name lyrics +

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame
Darlin’ you give love a bad name

An angel’s smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion’s a prison you can’t break free

Oh! You’re a loaded gun, yeah
Oh! There’s nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
Hey, you give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy’s dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Whoa! You’re a loaded gun
Whoa! There’s nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
You give love, oh!

Oh! Shot through the heart and you’re to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)

You give love
You give love
(Bad name)
You give love oh oh oh oh oh
You give love
(Bad name)

You give love
You give love
(Bad name)
You give love
You give love
