Achtung came out in early 91 and KTF in nov 92 almost two years later. I think the reference by jovi being influenced by u2 during ktf is about taking chances musically/ change in direction/vision of the band/evolution of the band's sound and songwriting. U2 did it first with Acthung and Jovi followed later. Both albums were hugely successful worldwide.
