I'm looking at this pic of Jon while listening to his recent cover of I Fought The Law and I just can't put the connection together. Its just not the same person.

The banning was in the late 90s-it's not related to the Deluxe Edition at all.

That's an older thing. Like 8-10 years, methinks.

It has to be or else he wouldn't be pulling photos for them.

It's so interesting how Jon complains or gets frustrated when people discuss his looks and his hair but yet that's what his entire marketing strategy is based on.

Now he's supporting grey hair pretending to be George Clooney. George Clooney carries a sophisticated suit and tie look. Jon Bon Jovi is a pretty boy rock star. They couldn't be any more opposite with their look.

The more Jon opens his mouth about it, the more he confirms my initial statement about his grey hair "He's playing pretend Bill Clinton to be respected amongst his political / philanthropic peers",

Back On Topic...

I just hope we get something good. Be prepared for a disappointment. It will most likely be a 5.1 remaster with some new images in the booklet.

I really don't think we are getting all those demos. If anything, maybe some live tracks.

If we did get those demos, I wonder who would be the credited musician and I truly wonder if they would have Hugh go into the studio and redo the bass tracks. They could also go something digital.

From what people have said over the years I think it's safe to assume Hugh played on the demos/album so there shouldn't be any need to re-record anything. I'd also bet that Alec will be the credited bass player.

I don't know if I believe all that, even if it came out of Hughs mouth directly . I think he would want to be the man over Alec and speak in code to discredit him. Unless Alec himself said it, I'll never be convinced.

Where's the proof there is anything being released at all?

When the picture was initially posted on FB, there was a caption that stated it was for the Deluxe Edition... It has been taken down since.

I never saw it. I'm going by what the OP stated and someone else confirmed.

Quite amazing, really, as the pictures you see are all approved by Jon. If you look on the contact sheets, you can even see where he signed them JBJ (his way of approving photos).

The strange thing about Jon is when you meet him he's always friendly and he's easy to shoot, yet his office insists on signing contracts which are in the league of Tom Cruise. They really enforce a Jersey Sopranos "us against them" bullshit.

Sad really -- as a photographer, whenever you get very friendly with an artist someone in his office always feels threatened...A shame, I've always liked Jon.

Well, the pics that accompany his quote look like they're from the New Jersey through These Days eras, so I also suspect that the ban is at least a decade old. But that's not to say that your Deluxe Edition theory is wrong.

If they asked Halfin for the Odeon pic anyway, the BJ camp may very well be unhappy about his "jumping the gun" by mentioning the box set publicly.
