Bon Jovi The Dope Slinger

Bon Jovi dealt drugs as a teenager
31/10/2007 - 10:47:18

Jon Bon Jovi worked as a drug dealer to make cash in the days before he became a rock star.

The 'Livin' On A Prayer' singer has revealed he bought and sold drugs in a bid to make "a couple (of) bucks" when he was a struggling teenage wannabe on the mean streets of his native New Jersey.

He tells America's Best Life magazine: "I did the drug thing very young and wised up very young too, because I was into drugs a little too much.

"I was entrepreneurial even then, buying quarter pounds of dope and trying to make a couple (of) bucks."






Bon Jovi admits he was smart enough not to sample his own product - after one test trip left him suffering throughout a whole summer.

He adds: "Did you ever smoke dope that was laced with PCP and then have that whole summer of hallucinations?

"That's why I've never been a drug guy. I've always felt I didn't have the mental stability to handle drugs."


LMMFAO

Never been a drug guy....... yeah riiiight.

He and Sambora were known Hoovers back in the day....



*editor's note: Layne always had the best 'cid.


Party on Wayne.......

Methinks that someone is trying to make himself look edgy Mr. Jovi.

Next week on I'm a cool rock store: Kip Winger - I used to fuck crack whores in the ass....

[Diamondjimi]

Yeah,Kip could use a few headlines these days..........

Jon Bon Jovi represents soft, wussy, pussifed, contrite, mundane, run-of-the-mill rock dripping with weepy, faux-sentimental power ballads so limp-wristed they make even Red Tubs blush. His useless music is indicative of the worst pop rock has to offer twenty years ago (or in any other era). Don't care how many records he sold; shit is shit, regardless of how many 13 year-old teenage girls lapped it up two decades ago (and, to be fair, there were a lot of them).

Even if this whole "I sold dope in my teens" story IS true, who gives a flying fuck? Obviously whatever dope he sold was laced with wimp dust, as opposed to angel dust. Everyone and their brother was doing cocaine in the 1980s.

Sambora, on the other hand, was a bit of a crystal meth freak...out of any member of the band, it was only the bass player (think his name is Alec Such, or something) who seemed to be a bit of a badass (heavy drinking, carrying guns around and the like), and he got fired for his troubles; apparently he scared the rest of the girls in the band.

Although Bon Jovi was tapping Rebecca DeMornay back in the day, so that's ONE thing he's got in his favor...

Almost right...

Alec [John Such] was fired for being such a terrible bass player.

He fucked up live more times than anyone could count.

Pretty well known that after the first album session pros played all of the bass parts that Sambora didnt play.

They kept AJ for the tours out of loyalty to the old days.

But he blew chunks live.

And Sambora was a huge fan of Bolivian Marching Powder

Not too sure about the meth claim...

[Terry]

Think Ally Sheedy said something about doing a bunch of meth at a party with Sambora, after which point he grabbed the back of her head and pulled it towards his lap, inviting her to "suck me, bitch".

Such stupid behavior; doesn't Sambora know Sheedy is a dyke?

Will have to take your word about Such and his substandard live performances. Not being a smartass in saying that, just haven't heard much in the way of live Bon Jovi.

Its hard to imagine Bon Jovi and Sambora as Drug fiends,
you couldnt pick it from their music, thats for sure..

as Christian Rockers lol....

Well there ya go... So Heather Locklear must be a
blow demon too, first Tommy Lee then Sambora......

..

Sometimes the most white bread acts are the sleaziest in person...

Johnnie Carson was a known coke fiend in the 70's


I remember Jon and Richie doinf a PSA on MTV for RAD

"Hey, we're Bon Jovi, and drugs aren't an everyday thing with us"

They never said don't do drugs....

Just not every day LOL

But as far as the "revelation" that young Jon slung dope for gas money....

I believe it, sure. But why now he feels it's newsworthy is suspect.

Who needs street cred at this point in their career????
