If you watch the video of Real Life you actually see a sign which says "Bon Jovi - Sex Sells" which was the name of "crush" before it became Crush. I think that Real Life came out of a Crush demo session. One of the songs on Crush was doing the rounds on Jon's solo tour in the late 90's, Just Older.

I think Real Life has a bit of the These Days sound in and a teaser to the sound of Crush, had the whole album been that way it would have been better, although Crush is still a really good album.


Jon looks old in the video though, i think its with the short blonde hair that does it, if he had kept it dark he would have looked younger. But then i ain't getting into a debate about jon's hair, thats for backstage to coo over!!!!
