-The weak economy is affecting nearly every sector
of the business world,
and the music industry is no exception.
Here to comment is local Bon Jovi opposite band
Jon Bovi.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thanks, Seth. You know, it really is tough times
for musicians in America right now.
-Yeah, even for an incredibly popular
Bon Jovi opposite band like ourselves.
-Okay, I'm sorry, guys. What exactly
is a Bon Jovi opposite band?
Is that like a Bon Jovi cover band?
-No! No.
If you like Bon Jovi, you would want a cover band.
If you hate Bon Jovi, you want us.
-Yeah, we hate Bon Jovi.
-Yeah, we couldn't be further from Bon Jovi!
-But you dress like them and you call yourselves Jon Bovi.
-Yeah, yeah, well, the similarities end there, Meyers.
Check this. -Two hundred and thirty-four!
-Two, three, four -- No, no, no, no.
It's three separate numbers. Three separate numbers.
-Okay. Got it. -You got it? Okay. Ready?
All right. Here we go.

that sounded an awful lot like Bon Jovi.
-What?! -What?
-What?! -Huh?
-What?! -What?!
-That sounds nothing like Bon Jovi!
-Yeah, that's the exact opposite of Bon Jovi.
-Yeah! Maybe this one will drive home the point.

[ Cheers and applause ]
So you -- you guys haven't had many gigs recently?
-No, not one, not a one.
-Yeah. Because of the economy.
-Yeah. I don't know if it's the economy.
Are you sure it's not because your band
is confusing and, uh, terrible?
-Oh. Thank you!
-Thank you, Seth! You're so sweet!
-No, that was not an opposite answer.
-Well, if you like that and you hate ZZ Top,
you'll love our ZZ Top opposite band.

What is --
[ Cheers and applause ]
What are you doing?
What are you doing? -That's the opposite of this.
-Okay.
If I could give you guys some advice,
maybe you should try and play,
you know, a completely different kind of music.
-What?! -What?
-What?! -Huh?!
-What? -What?
-Maybe you're right, Seth. You know, maybe the era
of the opposite rock band is over.
-Yeah, but maybe, just maybe... -What are you thinkin'?
-...the era of the opposite hip-hop band has just begun.
-Yeah! Let's do some hop-hip!
