And all we knew at that point was being on the road and women, so that’s predominantly what we kind of sang about in those days.” – Richie Sambora And quite frankly it was because in our life at that point, in that juncture of time, we were 26 years old. “I think the most interesting part of that song, it was the first time we ever used characters. Besides, it’s his signature song so butchering it should be a crime. The correct lyrics are, well, more wholesome. That word just becomes extra sexy coming off his lips but sadly, he didn’t sing that one. “Naked” and Bon Jovi go so well together we’re tempted to let this slide.

#SONGS THAT HAVE THE WORDS ROCK STAR SERIES#
God Bless The 1975" flashing on the screen during "Sex." Then during show finale "The Sound," a series of harsh criticisms as seen in the music video flashed on the screen ("robotic Huey Lewis tunes" and "punch-your-TV obnoxious" among them), but the crowd jumped exuberantly through this so-called "derivative pop" anyway.


"I've been looking through you while you're looking through your phone," Healy sang during "Somebody Else," the soft-spoken confessional blossoming to an impassioned singalong.

Songs from last year's "A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships," the band's strongest statement to date, really illustrated that mastery Friday. The frontman certainly has a magnetic charisma, but it's what Healy says in his songs, more than what he does on stage, that's propelled the 1975 to arenas.īehind a front of jaded lyrics and self-referential winks lies some vulnerable songwriting that speaks to the fear and longing of coming of age in the digital age. Healy's "what is a rock star?" narrative Friday likely didn't matter much to anyone besides the band and, well, the critics writing about them. Some of his stage antics were clearly tongue in chee, the way he took drags of a cigarette and sips of red wine during "Change of Heart," as he dryly sang about an ex-lover proclaiming he "looked like (expletive) and smelled a bit."īut Healy was also entertaining without irony, synchronizing steps with the Jay sisters for "TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME," tossing up hallelujah arms backed by strobe-light blasts for the gospel-touched "If I Believe You," and throwing out jazz hands and jogging in place (with a Davy Crockett hat on his head) for show opener "Give Yourself a Try." And despite his staged dilemma about rock stardom, Healy has really come into the role nicely.
