After finally getting the girl i had pined for, for 2 years..she introduced me to Bon Jovi, i knew of them they were a rock band, i sort of new the classics prayer bad name always.

We were in her room, and i'll never forget her putting on These Days album, and the song My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms came on. I was blown away by that whole album. The power, and emotion was overwhelming, These Days didn't sound like the other bon jovi stuff (which i also love but for diferent reasons).

Went on vacation with my parents a week after hearing TD, and found a copy of the TD tape in a souvenier store. It stayed in my walkman the whole time.

I love bon jovi the big party rock band, but i also love the incredible song writing that was ALL through TD album, and is shown in bits over on most of their albums.
