Doubt they'll realease it at all. Jon said he didn't wanna jump on the band wagon by releasing tribute songs. Although because the September 11th trajegy happened in their back yard, he said it was definately in their minds when the band came to write for Bounce, and couldn't be ignored.

The same goes for the title track. Everyone seems to think that Bounce should be released, and they do have a valid point. It's a very good song, but I think it's obvious that it was supposed to be an album track only, probably because of the "....me I just don't give a f...f...f...f...". I think various members the public would find that quite rude, and it would give the critics more stuff to bite at. Notice that in the videos and single version of Saturday Night the line "and all the good shit's gone" has been edited to "and all the good is gone". The same has happened in the Hey God single. The lyrics don't have quite the same ring to them with the words edited out, but I suppose Bon Jovi did that so not to swear on their released singles. I know it's only a mild swear word, but I still think that's why they did it.
