2. Bounce - if I want to listen to It's my life (which I often do), I insert the Crush CD into my CD player. I don't need another It's my life on Bounce, thank you!

3. You had me from hello - this could be a Backstreet Boys track, it's so cheesy!!! I like slow songs (even the "Mystery" ones) but this one was too much for me.
There's never any need to listen to It's My Life when I can put on King Of The Mountain....

One track where David is actually needed, and adds something really good to the chorus! Great riff. Fantastic drums. Jon's voice is brilliant. The lyrics are a hell of a lot better than most songs, because they give Jon a chance to show off his voice, as much as I like Dry County, this song doesn't. It's the sound of the voice, and not what they're singing which is often most important to me (exception Zappa, Dylan, e.t.c)....... Who am I kidding, it's the scream that does it for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any problem with Bounce sounding a lot like It's My Life, it's the way it's recorded that I hate, all those samples, and effects..... They're a brillaint rock band, with one of the best drummers and guitarests in the world, and a decent singer... why do they need to add drum samples, vocal effects e.t.c???? It's all just very silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (turning into another Monty Python sketch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

There's only really one Bon Jovi song that I can't listen to, and that's She's A Mystery,

Hi all:
How about Ugly? I can't stand that song! Does Jon know Ugly from reputation or something...?
How can people not like Bounce? Its a mystery to me. Just try listening to the lyrics, not the music. The words really pulled me into the song before I heard the music.
