Bon Jovi Slams Justin Bieber: Rock Singer Calls Teenage Pop Star An 'A**hole' For Making Fans Wait [VIDEO]

Bon Jovi has been rocking audiences long before Justin Bieber was born, so he knows a thing or two about keeping your audience happy. Veteran rock idol Bon Jovi slammed Justin Bieber in a recent interview with the London Evening Standard.

Bon Jovi slams Justin Bieber by calling the 19-year-old an a**hole for making fans wait 80-minutes before beginning a concert during his recent tour. Bieber claims that technical difficulties caused the 80-minute delay, but it was not the first or last time Bieber made his fans wait.

Bon Jovi slams Justin Bieber by saying, "Every generation has guys that do that, none of that is new." Bon Jovi was referring to musicians that make their fans wait and the "Livin' On a Prayer" singer finds it disrespectful.

"They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the permission to take two or three hours of their lives. Or in that kid's case, 80-minutes of their lives," Bon Jovi said in his interview.

The London Evening Standard called Bon Jovi one of the hardest working men in music. Despite his years in the music business and his worldwide fame, Bon Jovi still knows that without the fans he would not be enjoying his enormous success.

"Do it once you can be forgiven," Bon Jovi told the Standard. "Do it twice and shame on you. They won't have you back. Then it just becomes a cliché. It's really not cool, you're an a*sshole. Go to f**king work."

Bon Jovi recorded his first single "Runaway" in 1980, according to biography.com. Four years later, he debuted his first album and since then has remained an icon in the music industry. It seems the secret to longevity in the music biz is hard work and respecting your fans. Do that and your music will impact lives for generations to come, just look at what "The Beatles" accomplished if you need another example.
