Well, when I compare this solo to the style of the other solos from GP's guitarist I'm actually very sure that it is Richie on guitar.
No, just what I hear. Doesn't sound like eithers playing style, especially the drummer. Haven't heard anything else from Gorky Park and don't care to.

I hear it too. In the second verse, I believe?

Iīve always loved this song. I think, too, that itīs a Bon Jovi demo recording with an added lead vocal track by this Russian singer. I agree, the guitar track with all the pinch harmonics sounds A LOT like Richie. And that would be because it IS Richie if you ask me.

The song reminds me once again how things were back then. They had such an abundance of anthemic rock songs by that time. There were so much of them that they just gave away many would-be-classics. For example, Cadillac Man is from the same era. It seems to me that each time Jon & Richie sat down to play a few chords, they somehowmanaged to come up with a classic rock song.

Part from 3:18 to 3:26 is taken from edge

Part from 3:16 to 3:28

Easy to find because it's my favourite part from edge

Yes. It's typical Bon Jovi song which probably they made.

And yes I am also think that we NEED another box set. And even I think that we need Box-set for every album ;P
What do you think about for example New Jersey Box Set:
- Normal CD
- CD with all their demos from that time (cadillac Man, Growin Up ecc)
- 3 re-recorded songs for example Growin, Love Is War and We All Sleep Alone
- Promo videoclip for one from them (voted by fans on bj.com) made by Isham
- Book with story about NJersey era and with pictures from that time
- AAAreas DVD
- DVD with some songs from all tour. For example IBTFYou from Santiago Chile
- Songbook with all songs included demos
- Interview with band talking about that times including some TV apperances from that times ecc.

yes, yes I'm dreamer. Noone do that. Noone ever will

I do have the album Gorky Park - their first album and it's ok. Not brilliant but some decent songs on there like Bang & My Generation - funnily enough were in the Accecss All Areas vids where they are in Helsinki & Moscow.

Access All Areas is a classic indeed.

But itīs a bit odd how Helsinki gets to represent Moscow on the film, once again. On the background, Russian music is being played and in the next scene, the band are shown at a passport control desk. It sure looks as if theyīre obviously in Moscow but little do we know. The scene actually takes places in Finland, and the guy behind the desk is a Finnish policeman.

The policeman looks at the band members, looking very nervous and worried. He peers at the pictures on the passports very carefully, trying to figure out if the guys standing in front of him are who they claim to be. Then he breaks the silence, asking Jon and Richie to take off their sunglasses. The line goes something like this: "The black glasses, I hope not." Here in Finland the way we pronounce English often sounds odd indeed.

Yeah definitely back then you would not be allowed to film at a Soviet Passport control. Makes sense it being Finland. I suppose they were just trying to create that illusion of "crossing the iron curtain". I could see Finland from where I went last summer. Was in Tallinn but didn't get chance to jump the ferry to make the short 30 mile journey
