You Give Love A Bad Name (Flexibles Ensemble 4-stimmig) You Give Love a Bad Name was the first No. 1 hit by American band Bon Jovi in 1986.The song is a typical example of hard rock from that time, featuring catchy melodies with many repetitions and of course heavy guitars and high-pitched vocals! The song became a big hit in Europe as well and made the band a concert favourite. This arrangement is true to the original, with many repetitions of both melody and rhythm.
