Are any of the songs better than originals?

I agree. I think Everyday was a pretty pants song to start with, but it doesn't sound too bad on TLFR, and kind of better as a ballad. Bad Name on the other hand was a great song, and when first listening to Bon Jovi it became my favourate for a while, but then got kinda boring with repeated listens. The TLFR version of Bad Name which is bascially an acoustic version, but done in the style of an old blues band playing outside a pub or something. I also thought that the song couldn't be done a different way, but this new version sounds great and has given the song new life, which I think it needed. Both versions are great, and I can't really say which one is better. The one I'd prefer to listen to would depend on what kind of mood I'm in.

A friend of mine who is also a BJ fan said something a few weeks ago(after hearing TLFR for the first time) that I will never forget "they are ALL better than the originals" he said .This guy ain't too bright though and he often gets on my nerves by comparing BJ to every other band etc.

IMO though, I don't think any of them are better.. Possibly Everyday cause the original has never been a favourite of mine... the new version of It's My Life is quite good but not better and the same goes for Bad Name.

i think possibly IML and Everyday. but then again i may just like them in a different way.. i'm not sure.

There isn't one part of song better then the original.

erm......difficult to answer as bj didnt try and do better versions just different ones.Everyday is good but saying that i like them all and becasuse they are sooo different they are like 2 different songs that cannot be compared.

The answer is NO.

Not really....

i think everyday better than original. And bad name - maybe

wellllllllllll i'd much prefer a true acoustic cd than TLFR, but i must admit i can finally listen to Bad Medicine & Keep the Faith again. for the longest time, i hated those songs - mostly b/c BM meant the end of the freaking show & KTF, well, just b/c i was sick of it!!!

i was blown away by the "twist" they gave these tunes, but i do like what they did w/the songs. it IS different & i don't blame them for wanting to try something new. i am just waiting & waiting & waiting for some big 20th anniversary surprise for us fans..........and TLFR is NOT gonna cut it LOL

Yep.
