That’s the shit I’m dealing with in ‘Guitar Lies Bleeding’. And it’s cool to write that frustration down and admit the fear.

It’s a constant fear throughout the writing of every record. Every song on every record is like that. Will I ever write another song? Can I? Will I? You question yourself all the time.“

See and that is a REAL story behind a song. Better than the shit they are using to justify IML, Everyday, HAND etc etc

Whatever the reason was behind writing that song, you can tell that when jon bon jovi is writing what he is living and what he feels he'll come up with something unprecedented.

Those are the songs that he will be rememberred for.

to say the least, when you listen to the lyrics of ''as my guitar...'' you'll have the impression that it goes so deep, whatever the reason behind writing the song, its just a spark to start up an eruption, its more than the common vibes or notes you listen to everyday on the radio.

I'd rather say he'll be remembered for his mullet, for Livin' On A Prayer and for a dozen of crappy ballads.

Agreed. Not that this is particularly a bad thing, I don't think. Jonny Boy's never been Bob Dylan. He can write very deep and beautiful music, it's just not what Bon Jovi, the record company are looking for, unfortunately.
