WikipediaIt takes a special kind of idiot to make an '80s pop-rock band even worse, but if anyone can manage it, it's Jon Bon Jovi. The man that's lived on a prayer, gone down in a blaze of glory, been wanted dead or alive, laid us down on a bed of roses and been shot through the heart (only in a lyrical sense, unfortunately) has done it all; had hit records, sold out stadiums, starred in films, and helped rebuild communities with his charity work. So why is it so easy to hate him? Well, for starters, plenty of people think that the band Bon Jovi is just him on his own, rather than the legendary four-piece that included Richie Sambora, David Bryan, and Tico Torres. He once fired legendary photographer Ross Halfin for "making him look too old". He rips off his bandmates' compositions when writing his own solo albums too, and once said, "The way I look at it is, you're only married within the state lines. There are 49 other states, we can have 49 other relationships." Yes, he has cheated on his wife, as unsurprising as that is. And if that's not enough, he screwed over the musicians that helped him record debut single 'Runaway' by employing a bunch of others without their knowledge. The man is a walking expletive, and has actually managed to overshadow his bandmates' supreme musicality with his own stupid behaviour.
