Members honeyiscool Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Is it sad how much I love this song, especially the guitar solo? [video=youtube;SRvCvsRp5ho] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Great band. One of the best drummers in rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thecornman Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Girlfriend loves these guys! Me not so much. Couple alright songs I guess, but so many other bands I like way more from that era and I can't stand any of his singer song writer stuff later on, but that really is not my thing in the first place.

Members Tall Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not a huge fan but a friend's cover band does several of their songs. The place usually starts going crazy when they play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Canadian Jeff Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 I've played that fawking song in almost every band I've ever been in. I'd like to never hear it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's not that sad. I'm not ashamed to say that I enjoy shouting the backing vocal parts while half drunk in a bar while the bar band is cranking it out (and you know that every bar band plays this song). I don't really listen to it at any other time, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 When this song came out, I was living in Idaho Falls and finishing up college in Pocatello, and it was a favorite of many of the more troglodytic examples of the inbred locals (who could oft be seen in full cowboy drag shrieking out the lyrics at the top of their drunken lungs)...

Members mistersully Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 if i met that song... and it smiled warmly and reached out it's hand in friendship... i'd kick it in the nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grantus Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 I never quite understood a New Jersey band playing a cowboy song. Mr. Bon Jovi: You've done a lot of things, but you are no cowboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members smorgdonkey Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 This track to me exemplifies everything that was nauseating in the 80s... Come on...this is a moment of songwriting genius compared to their other stuff. They were a wannabe Van Halen tweaked up with keyboards and more feminine guys.

Members Tone Deaf Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Come on...this is a moment of songwriting genius compared to their other stuff. They were a wannabe Van Halen tweaked up with keyboards and more feminine guys. Ugh...can't express how much I hated these guys...and Journey. Although, in reality, I think they were the same band. Sappy, chick friendly, formulaic dreck. I'll forgive your love of this song because your love of Pixies counterbalances it...but barely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grantus Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Y'all must be old because friends my age love Journey, too. That's unfortunate. You couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a radio station playing Journey in the mid-80s. If I hear Open Arms ever again that will be too soon.
