"One Wild Night: Live 1985-2001" Review 27 June 2001
"One wild mess up"

What were the producers smoking!?!?

A review by luvdajews / ndkjbznvzd@aol.com

I give "One Wild Night: 1985-2001" a "2" rating cuz i don't have the heart to give any bon jovi cd a number "1"

So, now that you could imagine that I didn't like this cd you might as well listen to how bad I cut up on the tracks...

1. "Its My Life"
HORRIBLE, this is even worse than the studio version there are hundreds of better performances of this song, when they needed to decide which one to use, I bet they drew their answer from a hat.
(My Recomendation: the live version from the 5 track cd that comes with OWN live, its the australian import)
0/10

2. "Livin' On A Prayer"
You have to like the begginning, but the rest is nothing but a fraction to other live versions of this track. C'mon guys you perform this song so much better than this, this is crap
(My Recomendation: again, the live version from the 5 track cd that comes with the austrailian import)
3/10

3. "You Give Love A Bad Name"
If I had a dollar for everytime I heard this song, I could wipe my face with 10 dollar bills! This is old, they need to spice it up a bit when they play it live, that'll make us all happy.
(My Recomendation: studio track, I have no other live copies of this to compare with, so the studio track tops it off)
0/10

4. "Keep The Faith"
I love this song, it is definately my favotrite, but not on this album. They ruined it, I understand that studio cds have to have bon jovi material only, but this is a live track, where is smphany for the devil! Plus there is a mistake in this one by itself, (the concert did not sound like that)
(My Recomendations: I downloaded a 9 minute version off of www.bonjovi.com and it has symphany for the devil...its not up anymore but it will be after his current tour.)
1/10

5. "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night"
I don't, and never will feel for this song, so I'll be fair and i won't write a rating or anything else for this...its not good but I guess its not bad either

6. "Rockin' In The Free World"
Ok......Let's take a breather. At first, I'm like....."WTF" this song sucks with the origional dude singing it, let alone with bon jovi singing it. I had no clue why they would put it on here, but then I recieved information stating that they wanted to relive with us what they were feeling in '95. Well, that makes sense but what about those 15 minute version of "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead"? Those were good, its a shame they aren't here....
(My Recomendations: Any version of "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", I found a good one on www.bonjovi.com that's still up and another one on that cd I was talking about in the begginning, the australian version)
-2/10

7. "Something To Belive In"
Awwwww Yeah! This is perfect!
1. Not very popular, so cant be overplayed
2. Motavation
3. Jon works the crowd
We need more of these, alot more....
(My Recomendations: a mental institution if you want to replace this song!)
10/10

8. "Wanted Dead Or Alive"
No,no,no,no,no! This can't be! It sucks! Were is the power? This is the weakest version I ever heard! I'll spit on whoever came up with this idea!
(My Recomendations: almost anything, "Diamond Ring" is better than this B.S.!)
0/10

9. "Runaway"
Perfection, this descibes and thrives on the messege this song was written to expose...this is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard
(My Recomendations: Dont replace it, enjoy it!)
10/10

10. "In And Out Of Love"
I used to really hate this song until I heard this version, this version can really help you to apreciate Richie's skills, nobody liked Alec, lol
(My Recomendations: this is cool, leave it, if not...."King Of The Mountain" can do just fine)
7/10

11. "I Dont Like Mondays"
ok...THIS SONG BLOWS! There is no reason why this song should take up space on an already suffering album...remove it before I remove somebody's head. its was from 95' too! Anything from These days...but NO!!! Doing that would be way to cool for them...grrrrrrrr!
(My Recomendations: shooting Geldof in the head, then...burning this song 15 times on a cd and throwing it in his grave so it can rot with him)
-10/10

12. "Just Older"
Every says "Crush" wasn't very good except for this track. Well, how come I'm the only one that likes every song from "Crush" EXCEPT this track? DO NOT ENCOURAGE THEM TO SING SONGS LIKE THIS! It will turn a rockband to an oldies band.
(My Recomendations: "Next 100 Years" works perfectly here. Guitar solos bring songs to life, and that song has one)
0/10

13. "Something For The Pain"
One Of my Favorites that lives up to my expectaions. This song follows the code for track 7, except for the "work the crowd" part, nothing special in this song, but it doesnt need it.
(My Recomendations: Leave it alone, it adds spice and a "choice" to the album)
9/10

14. "Bad Medicine"
The messed a good song up really bad! So bad that I'm not even gonna make fun of them! BAD!!!
(My Recomendations: a "Shout" version, or anything that sounds like the real "Bad Medicine")
-5/10

15. "One Wild Night"
A studio track on a live album?!?! whatever they were on before they put this together, I wish I could've got some...
(My Recomendations: Anything "live", I don't think that's asking too much, considering it being a "live" album)
NR

Well, there you go...I'm done rating the worst Bon Jovi cd I ever heard. Now don't get smart with me and tell me..."but you can only put so much time on a cd" i dont want to hear it! You can always work around that. Here is the album...

Its My Life (live from australia); Keep The Faith (symphany for the devil); Something For the Pain (OWN); I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (almost any live version); Lay Your Hands On Me (almost any live version will do); Bad Medicine (shout); Something To Believe In (OWN); Runaway (OWN); Raise Your Hands (almost any live version); Hey God (from the "These Days" single; In And Out Of Love (OWN), Next 100 Years (there was a good one i got off of Napster but i dont no where they got it); King Of The Mountain (almost any live version); Shot Through The Heart (almost any live version)

Note: These are ALL live
