Bon Jovi have been performing for close to 30 years but they still have the power to turn grown women into giggling schoolgirls.
Debbie Allison, 44, Viv Johnson, 46, and Deb Leslie, 39, all grew up with the band in the 1980s and now they will be meeting at least 40 other hard-core fans to attend Bon Jovi's Wellington gig at Westpac Stadium on Saturday.
The trio, who met for the first time yesterday after chatting on the Bon Jovi Facebook page, have all of the band's albums, DVDs and compilations.
Ms Allison, a Bon Jovi "freak" since 1986, has a necklace made from one of the band's guitar strings – that was used on tour – worth more than $100, while Mrs Leslie was given a signed picture of lead singer Jon Bon Jovi by her husband on their wedding anniversary. The pair will be flying up to Auckland on Sunday to attend the band's second New Zealand gig.
Though the three women admit that Bon Jovi are their "life", they say there are more dedicated fans out there – including one Kiwi woman who has followed the band around America and will be shadowing them here and at seven Australian concerts.
"There is a global community of Jovi sisters who are normal people, who hold down jobs," Mrs Leslie said. "But there are people out there who are quite odd. They think they are friends with the band, that they know secrets."
Miss Johnson is a more recent convert. In June she saw an old Jon Bon Jovi song on TV, which stuck in her head. Next she came across a DVD and within a month had bought all of their albums and had one cover tattooed on her ankle. "I was just hooked. I have it on my iPhone and listen to it all day when I'm walking dogs at work. It's in the car and I listen to it when I get home. You've got to have a very understanding boyfriend."
Though the rockers are aging, the women still believe their music is just as good as it was in the band's hey-day.
If there was any disagreement, it was about who in the band was hottest. Miss Johnson fancies guitarist Richie Sambora, while Ms Allison has a thing for Jon.
Mrs Leslie agrees he's attractive but says "he's too short with little jiggy jiggy hips". She would rather have a drink with the band – though drummer "Tico" Torres was cute.
