IMO, the only fillers on KTF are I Want You and If I Was Your Mother. Fear is good, but slightly overrated. The rest is total killer.

'Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano, trying hard to capture the moment this morning i don't know, cos a bottle of vodka still lofged in my head.'

I love those lyrics!

There is NO Jovi album that doesn't have some amount of cheese.

Woman in Love (corker)/ BIOTLORR (embarrassing copy of Sleep)/ Little Bit of Soul (average) and Save a Prayer (mehhh) are far from Killer for me ((

Didn't count Save A Prayer, as I was going by the American version.
I like Woman in Love a lot actually, I actually think I'll start a thread about why. I prefer BIOTLORR greatly over Sleep actually, and Little Bit of Soul has a nice groove to it.

On the contrary I think it's underated. How can songs like Dry Couny, Blame it On The Love, Little Bit Of Soul and I Want You be fillers? I think it's better than Slippery anyway. The only albums that come close to it in my opinion is NJ and TD.

DC is awesome - the others you mentioned are fillers for me! Slippery has only one filler and this is called "Social Disease". NJ / TD are the best BJ albums for me!

Bed Of Roses is a true rock ballad, passionate and heavy, with fantastic guitar work that seems to speak to the listener as much as the lyrics do. Probably my second favourite ballad after Always (or maybe third after Living In Sin). From what I've seen, I think it does lose some power live, although off the top of my head I can't remember watching a pre-2000 performance of it, so maybe I should check some out.

I especially love the lyrics of this song. The first verse is pretty much lyrical perfection, and I can't think of any other section in a Bon Jovi song as brilliantly bizarre as "The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye, well I might have said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I'd die"
