I like it. Not the 'classic' (whatever that means) Bon Jovi but good nevertheless. From the album 'What About Now' out March 26th.

Nah! I'm changing my mind. I love it!

 

I listened to it a few more times and take away the Bon Jovi name and you got a great song on your hands. Maybe a sucking Bon Jovi song but a great one on its own.

It's not terrible, like gener8tr claims it to be, but it didn't get me stiff, like Stefan appears to be. Quite forgettable.

Sounds OK to my ears..VERY Springsteen like vibe on the chorus...in fact he should have got him in to do some backing vox on it.

Considering Jon still has a Springsteen poster hanging on his wall, this surprises me very little. I mean he even plays the same Telecaster for God's sake... why not ask Patti Scialfa out for dinner and drinks?

 

Some of you guys are getting soft in our old age. Bon Jovi would have been boo'ed off the stage opening for Ratt in 1985 had they played this song. This one will be covered by Mylie Cyrus on her next album, I guarantee :)

All middle of the road BJ fans will lap this up. Alas I do believe that a return to their more rocking roots is unlikely to happen.

You are correct, sir. The soccer-moms and their now early teenaged daughters love Jon, buy his t-shirts, bumper stickers, Keep The Faith lucky rabbit's feet keychains and $1,000.00 VIP seats at the Garden.

 

I'd buy a single copy of his new CD if it was good, and a scalper seat for $20.00 in the nosebleeds to see the band if they came to Portland. Easy choice as to his current target audience.

 

Please keep in mind, I was a HUGE fan at one time, so do not label me a hater... he simply left me (and those like me) behind, and I'm cool with that. When I want to wax nostalgiac I pull out Slippery and fade back in time to the summer of 1987. GOOD TIMES my friends!

I'm really young too, 'cause I like it. Seriously, just a cool catchy tune, BJ or not.

 

Jeez the guys in the band are starting to look their age, though. Why is Hugh not in the film clips? What is the reason he has never become a permanent part of the band? I noticed the other day when reading through the liner notes that he actually plays as far back as on the Bon Jovi debut.

What's this new song called? Can't play it on my phone. Ta

 

Still the same one - 'Because we can' - just the official video this time around.

    • Eclipse played that same game when Apocalypse Blues came out.  They dropped that song as just a single and made no mention of an album at that point as far as I remember.  All they were doing was selling the 7 inch vinyl.  We know now though that they clearly knew a full album was coming as Erik said they basically were working on both albums at the same time and deciding which tracks would go on each album.  Granted, maybe they didn't know the full timing of album #2 at that point but they certainly knew one was coming. Maybe the same here.  Maybe will trickle out a few songs and then announce an album later this year or early next year when it's closer to release.
    • So, Danny posted how the song is doing on Spotify and someone asked if this means a new album soon. Danny just made vague replies and said "well there will be more stuff coming soon"
    • Funnily enough, I read that this afternoon when I went to add the album to my collection on the main page. I got the European version which has two bonus tracks ... if you don't have them, you really aint missing anything

    • Created and Posted this video recently in order to promote Ryder SRIII a little more.  I love this song, one of my personal favs from the record.   Be careful viewing at work though (NSFW), just for a couple of images in the video.   
    • Named my HH self after the song Auslander on the album Stain. Love that track. Really like the whole album. It's like Living Colour's "Slave to the Grind" or "Dog Eat Dog".
    • From Frontiers: TRACKLIST: 1 Awesome God 2 Stand Up 3 Warrior 4 There You Are 5 Speak His Name 6 Why God Brought Me Here 7 Praying 8 It's Up to You 9 Holy Moment 10 Leaning on the Cross 11 Jesus Christ --- When a musical family gets together to record, magic can happen and this is what the VAN ZANT’s are here for! Brothers Johnny and Donnie Van Zant (respectively current lead vocalist of Southern Rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd and founding member of .38 Special) were able to find room in their busy schedules for the first time in 1998, recording their collaboration album “Brother to Brother”: a tribute to their late brother and Lynyrd Skynyrd original singer and founding member Ronnie. Such release was highly acclaimed between the press and fans worldwide and brought the duo to record a follow up album, simply entitled “II” in 2001. Their collaboration during the years did not stop as they tapped their feet in a more Country-oriented style with the release of “Get Right With the Man” (certified Gold in the USA in 2005) and later on with “My Kind of Country” in 2007. Now the brothers once again reinvent themselves, offering a Christian-themed album encompassing their Rock and Blues musical roots (and with a touch of Country for good measure). The result “Always Look Up” is made up of songs that will touch the listener’s heart and soul, with an emotional depth that is truly second to none in today’s musical landscape. Experience the soul touching that only the music from the Van Zant family, can provide. You will see why they are icons of the American South, and musical heroes to millions around the globe!
