The Bon Jovi frontman, who wrote two songs for the film’s soundtrack, said, “To be able to write something for him, to get the note from him, telling me how he loved it, to actually have met him… that's why I'm here today. I'm enjoying the moment.”

The New Jersey boy also talked about the upcoming concert event December 12, to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy.

“That’s my people,” he said. “The whole area was dramatically affected, but we'll rebuild. That's what we do.”

The lineup also includes Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Billy Joel. Jon explained, “It's like a who's who. If you were to die and go to heaven, that's the lineup you want to be a part of.”

The "121212" concert takes place at Madison Square Garden. For more info, visit the concert's official website!

Wow.!! That IS a cocert line-up of HUGE status and proportion. Stones, McCartney alone on one bill. Don't think it's ever happened. Well done to those lucky enough to ''live ''it.

Jon Bon Jovi loves New Jersey. I'm sure he will make a beautiful and touching performance in honor of his home state on Wednesday. Thanks for adding the video.

Love my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online… http://www.work27.com
