I'm turning into a cranky old Bon Jovi fan...

[Kathleen]

Thanks guys - appreciate the support. I will share with anyone who is also willing to share. I have never understood hoarding. Part of the fun is sharing with like-minded other fans.

Kathleen is the first person to share things and she's completely trustworthy. I don't have the technology to transfer stuff to a format to share via computer, but I've sent stuff to her and she's converted it and shared it with others. I would trust her with ANYTHING in my collection because I know she would handle it with care and send it back!

Bon Jovi - Wanted dead or alive (by Timo) -...

Don't know if i posted this guy before, but if you haven't seen his videos, you should really check them out. He's one hell of a guitar player.

Don´t know if I exactly understand everything he said. But I think he said that Make a Memory made him (nearly) cry when it was new *.* - That´s cute, we have sth. in common
I wonder what inspired him to that Song, it seems to be really personally and means a lot to him. Beutiful Song! :,)

He said that he had people coming to him and telling him that the song made them teary when they heard it on the radio and they had to pull the car over because of that.
When Jon started on that song he was lying on his couch or sth similar and had the guitar on him. The intro came from the position 'cause he was only able to play that one chord that way. I think it was on "Inside The Actors" studio where he explained it.

Hm, really? I thought he was talking about himself, because he said sth. like the Song was in an early stage. Doesn´t that mean that it was sth. like a Demo CD and not the final version on the Radio? And he was somehow talking in an I-Perspektive (´cause he said sth. like that´s the thing he had?.), so I understood that he said he was the one who had to pull the car to the side...

Now I´m confused xD He expressed incomprehensible and maybe he mumbles too much xD ... But maybe only my english is too bad

Yeah, I know the Interview when he said that he was hanging on the couch in a strange position and played the intro xD But I mean, what is the story behind this Song, what made him write these Lyrics? After all, it seems to be a very personal Song and meaning a lot to him. It also reminds me on the thing with Richie. I wonder if there is any connection about that.

I'm not sure about the ITA interview but he definetely told this during the backstage interview on "Wetten dass...???" 2007.

With "in this early stage" he related to the record being released shortly before the interview was done and people still regarding it as new and unknown material. Usually the band (they mentioned that several times throughout their career) was only told stories about how people lost their virginity to SWW, proposed to a ballad like Bed of Roses and so on. He was probably surprised that he got plenty of feedback on such a new song.

I don't think Make A Memory goes far beyond being a song about a fictional person. In my opinion Jon was always good at crafting those lyrics about a twisted relationship and this mysterious woman, like Superman Tonight, She's A Mystery, Make A Memory, Hard Letting You Go, Mystery Train etc. That's the one occasion where a song, in my eyes, actually benefits from the lyrics being vague in some spots and leaving room for own imagination and interpretation.
Whole Lot of Leaving was written about Richie and I guess songs like Everybody's Broken or One Step Closer strongly connect to what Dave and Richie went through during that period of time. I personally don't think that MAM falls into that category though.
