The problem is, Bon Jovi WANT their bad medicine.

If “hate myself” had been sung by Bon Jovi you guys would hate on it and point to jett’s “medicine” as the superior tune

I hate the Jovi but can at least point to hooks in his older material. the chorus to Bad Medicine is fuckin' dire, as is the verse, and it sounds like it was written in ten minutes over screwdrivers

It doesn't seem that different from "You Give Love a Bad Name" in terms of content? It's just a less negative take on seduction and obsession but it could even be a prequel.xps

tbh I'm not a huge fan of "I Hate Myself for Loving You" either but i'd take it over Butt Medicine
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Thursday, 10 June 2021 14:47 (five years ago)
Or "I Hate Myself..." for that matterXp

It's like the pu-pu platter of hard rock cameos: Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Ratt, Slash and Steven Adler of Guns N' Roses, Billy Idol, Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa, Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi and Tommy Lee.

Actually, there are even more hair dorks in that Kinison video. CC from Poison, Sebastian Bach, Rudy Sarzo, supposedly Jonathan Cain from Journey?

and also that Desmond Child is gay, which I also didn't know
it's not like this song doesn't exist:

"She Bangs" is worse than most songs.

and significantly gayer
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 10 June 2021 15:56 (five years ago)
"you give love a bad name" is a way better conceit/premise than "your love is like bad medicine." i feel like someone started with "love is like oxygen" and started swapping in other words as an exercise in beating writer's block, and the end result is just a bag of cliches. the lyric could maybe sustain an under-three-minutes 50s rock/r&b number but not this kind of arena-scaled hard rock, imo.

What is bad medicine?
Expired?Not FDA-approved?Hard drugs?

i think it's like, the generic/competitor's product in commercials for Extra-Strength Tylenol.

it’s when the other person is just like a pill, ‘stead of makin' you better they keep makin' you ill

Yeah, I thought it was a barely-coded reference to pill addiction.

Looks like we need a Desmond Child poll. And "I Hate Myself for Loving You" would top my list.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 10 June 2021 17:15 (five years ago)
"Shocker" by Dudes of Wrath would top mine

Looks like he wrote Alice Cooper "Poison" which is the same metaphor as "Bad Medicine" and it's a much better song.
― billstevejim, Thursday, 10 June 2021 19:14 (five years ago)
and better than BBD's "Poison."
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 10 June 2021 19:15 (five years ago)
one of the few times I'll claim this about a rock song vs R&B
Poison by Coop is a nice single

The sentiments on both are revolting, let's be clear.

Find a Desmond Child song written for a Disney Channel-bred pop star and ILM will be sucked into a bottomless vortex of popist ecstasy.

that's an inaccurate description of Alice Cooper

That same clip I posted bounces to another clip where he talks about working with Hansen. He gave Diane Warren a call for advice and she made fun of him for working with a bunch of nine-year-olds. Then after that album got huge she apparently called him back and asked for their number.

Is the poison also the chains that he doesn't want to break or...? Does he want to hurt the venomous poison just to hear it calling his name...?
