For whatever it's worth:

On Sirius Satellite Radio's "Hair Nation" channel, DJ Keith Roth said that Bon Jovi is "crawling up the walls" and ready to get back on tour. And the new record, if not already done, "is very close." He said that he's heard the band is really proud of the record. And finally, he predicted that 2013 "will be a big year" for Bon Jovi.
