The Calling - Final Answer

Similar sounding acoustic intro, guitar solo and outro and generally hits a lot of the same beats musically. It's fairly plausible as their debut album Camino Palmero was released the previous year and it produced their biggest hit "Wherever You Will Go". Though it was only an album track and most of the album was quite generic, of it's time and generally forgettable so I'm not sure if it would have caught Jon's attention. The Calling did cite Bon Jovi as one of their influences though.

For some reason I've decided to revisit The Calling lately and only noticed this now.
The whole style was basically just 90s alternative through an early 2000s pop/rock filter. That is to say, it was Dizzy Up The Girl and Gutterflower-era Goo Goo Dolls. They also toured with BJ around that time, no?
