LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jon Bon Jovi says he had to take his shoes off and
unplug his guitar to make an impression.
The rock star, who has been touring and making hit records for nearly
two decades, said he was terrified of disappointing a celebrity-packed
audience at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1987.
``All I could think of was, `How are we going to make Madonna (news -
web sites) and Bob Seger and David Lee Roth stand in their chairs and
applaud?''' he said in an interview. ``The guys were like: `Don't. ...
Sit down with two guitars and play the way you wrote the song.'
``So, I went out there barefoot with two acoustic guitars. ... I
thought it was a complete failure until I read the papers the next
day.''
MTV said the performance led to their prize-winning show ``Unplugged,''
which features top bands in acoustic settings with small audiences.
