Bon Jovi takes a lesson from Gene Simmons on how to treat fans...

Ridiculous.

same here.

A couple of the Blonde Jovi gals were interviewed on the radio by Bob Rivers (of Twisted Christmas fame) earlier today:

I am sure Bon Jovi and the rest of his cabana boys have no idea of this taking place. I am sure it was one of their over zealous coke sniffing lawyers looking to make a few beans by protecting Bon Jovi's precious reputation and charge him $200 an hour to keep the world safe from female tribute acts.

The bigger issue here is if they are all really blondes or not. I will reserve my judgement until I find out. Hehehe!!!

Bump...

Heard at another forum that the legal hassles between the Bon Jovi camp and these gals have been smoothed out, and the tribute band will continue to perform under the name "Blonde Jovi."

On a somewhat related note, Blonde Jovi's new lead singer is Lorraine Lewis, the hottie best known for fronting the short lived, c-list hair band "Femme Fatale."

I bet the Bon Jovi came is getting a %...

I see at least two problems with the "Blonde Jovi" name in this pic... maybe Jon & the boys should've sued'em for false advertising. "You have two non-blondes in your group. Cease and desist immediately."

Bon Jovi is hands down the LUCKIEST band on the planet...

First off, you don't get lucky for 20+ years? Fact is they had and continue to have a HUGE fan base.

Second, this band would be nothing if they're name wasn't Blonde Jovi. I mean c'mon, that is a rip off. I have no problem with it, it's smart business. We're not talking about some small Indie label band with no prayer(get it!!??) and no real future earning potential trying to protect a name. We're talking about a multi million dollar "brand name" if you will, worth even more. Of which somebody is trying to make a dime off of HIS name. I'd have done the same thing in that position.

And yes.....I LOVE him.

Yeah, but they're a tribute band, not an original act...if they'd been an original band using the "Blonde Jovi" name then Jon and the boys probably would've had a case. But as a tribute band, their name has gotta have some kinda tie-in with the band they're tributing. No one would know they were a Bon Jovi cover band if they called themselves "Five Chicks From Redondo Beach" or whatever.

Is that Asian girl the one that used to be the singer in The Iron Maidens?

So is that Richie on the right?

Thankfully Led Zeppelin, have a better sense of humor since they have never threatened tribute female act Lez Zeppelin with legal action, and these ladies even released a CD.

And of course AC/DC could careless about the female tribute band AC/DSHE. Blonde Jersey is a cooler name anyway, unless the state of New Jersey goes after them.

I was talking about tribute bands recently to my guitar teacher. I said, "The vast majority of tribute bands name themselves after a song or album by the band they're paying tribute to. In some cases, a female tribute, might do a play on words. I doubt Slayer would sue the all female Slayer tribute called Reign in Blonde."

My guitar teacher got a kick out of the "Reign in Blonde" part. (I know, there is no female Slayer tribute that I'm aware of, I just made a joke.)

Blonde Jovi - Bon Jovi mass confusion! Hmm I now know why I never cared for john bovi that what he should be called!

That would be a FANTASTIC idea for a band though. Maybe the Blonde Jovi gals could learn a few Slayer songs for a side project...

"there's this girl band out there confusing our fans."

Have you ever seen them onstage ?

They are quite entertaining, the old bass player now plays in Crescent Shield

I love Bon Jovi.

In fact, been thinking about starting a tribute band called "Long Jovi". What do you think? Hey...don't you play guitar? I'm singing....but I only death growl.

I don't play guitar, but I can play the most bad-ass kazoo rendition of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" that you'll ever hear in your life.

PERFECT...do you have any petals for it?
