I remember how it annoyed me, not knowing who had written the songs. To begin with, I was certain It΄s My Life was written with Desmond. Little did I know back then. It΄s extraordinary for Bon Jovi not to enclose the lyrics and the songwriting credits.

I've always liked the Crush cover. That was the first Bon Jovi record I owned so maybe it's a nostalgic thing but I do think it looks cool.

Also a very good album.

I actually wasn't too fond of the cover I remember. I liked the artwork as a whole. Some really good shots as well plus Jon wearing that Bon Jovi Skull t-shirt - I thought that was brilliant. I just HAD TO HAVE one of those straight away (never got the Forever one to this day, just all their other skull shirts :P). Ahhh...I do remember the excitement. I think that one (maybe Bounce) was the last time I was properly excited about ripping off that plastic, take the CD out, listen to the songs and look at artwork. While Crush was all sort of 'Brit-pop cool' and OWN was very rock 'n' roll (with the backstage passes and the Monsters of rock imagery and so on)....I thought Bounce was all 'Boyband gay'. And that was it ever after. Disappointment after disappointment, yet here I am, almost 10 years later.

I know what you're saying about the Bounce artwork. The singles covers were even worse, so boy-bandish. Disgusting, almost. I really liked the HAND cover. The smirk just has something.

And even though LH was terrible photoshop, I like the cover. The Circle sucks though. Not only in the same colours as Bounce, but also probably their worst cover. Idea is okayish though. I wished the picture that was intended to be the cover (some group-cicle shot from above) would appear in the Greatest Hits booklet... but nooo...

Yeah, if someone asks me about my favourite band, I show 'em this cover.



Still, I'm quite fond of "Misunderstood", the song.

About Lost Highway, this single cover I liked more than the album.

Yep, that would've worked well. I still prefer the concept behind the actual cover, the actual execution... well, it's good enough.

The thing that's always bugged me about certain singles covers is Jon being the only member to appear in them. Defeats the idea of this being a 'band' as he so often stresses himself.
