Completely agree with my guitar lies bleeding..probably on thier bast songs to date! I don't know, I think it maybe something to do with the fact that These Days is a collection of highly charged, angry and pessimistic songs with many about breaking up and the lack of faith in the World originating from the troublesome time they had back 10 or more so years ago with the split and the departure of Alec..Bon Jovi relit themselves with the anthem It's my life from Crush, an album full of optimistic anthems, its just not the way Bon Jovi want to go again...they have to many optimistic followers!!
