Then: With songs and a stage presence so close to the original, you'd swear the real Bon Jovi was onstage. It was tribute band Wanted's attention to detail that had us livin' on a prayer and jamming along to their 25 faithful covers. Now: With more than 80,000 Facebook likes and soldout concerts at places such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the House of Blues, the band hits the road to perform throughout the Midwest. And they continue to bring the authenticity of a Bon Jovi performance: Wanted has up to 43 Bon Jovi covers, and they've upped their stage game with lights, banners and a pair of ramps that lead singer Ed Johnson walks up and down during shows. "We put it out there like the real Bon Jovi and that super high energy comes across," says Johnson. "The more we played the music, the more comfortable we got." wantedtributeband.com
