Nice! I remember this interview, and the continuation in 2001 where the interviewer had a little payback on Jon's cocky behavior:

You can kiss my ass"
Words and any songs from a confident gentleman, even though no song has worked for the group for last year's hit "It" s my life ".
- I remember what you told me last fall, says Jon. That there was no natural sequel to "It" s my life "on the album.
■
*In which you said "kiss my ass"! "Say it isn" t so "becomes a smash hit, and" Thank you for loving me "becomes the great ballad. How does that statement now, when the singles have failed?
- Damn good, ha ha! The album has sold eight million copies. So you can still kiss my ass.
■
*Forget it, none of the songs you mentioned was find.
- Uh, "Thank you for loving me" is still hanging in the USA.
But here the blinds Jon, for the domestic market were not even "It" s my life "one hit.
To hopefully get another hit from the album "Crush", the band released the song "One wild night" in a new version of their famous voicebox and a sound reminiscent of the "It" s my life ", which was a return to how their classic "Livin 'on a prayer" and "You give love a bad name" sounded in the 80s, the style of Bon Jovi fans still prefer.
- Actually, I think "One wild night" would have sounded like this from the beginning, says Jon today.


It was obviously translated by Google.
