Default I'm With You

Looking back at WAN now that the tour is over, it's a shame I'm With You didn't get its chance to see the light of day.

I just watched the Stuttgart performance and just love that raw version. This compared to the studio version is a perfect example as to why Shanks and Bon Jovi just don't belong together anymore.

I just don't get it. The song when over well with fans, it seems easy on Jon's vocals, and I really thought it was going to be a single based on its album placement. The only thing I could think of is maybe Jon thought the live version was too demo-ish or was too far off from the overproduced studio track.

Anyway, I would like to see Jon take this direction with a solo album. It's not the best song ever but it does offer a nice balance and change to what we need. It has a darker feel, I really like the different tempo, and it offers a nice balance to Jon's vocals. Shanks just needs to stay far away from songs as such.
