The Verdict: In & Out Of Love

Aloha !

Ever since I bought Thierry's Epiphone Les Paul I've been able to play things I was never able to play before due to having not such a brilliant guitar. Now with Ice's tabsite (www.freezezone.com) I tried some stuff from Fahrenheit again and was able to nail it all, even though it actually isn't not that difficult.

In & Out Of Love is one of those songs. On the live album it's one of the highlights even though they cut about 4 minutes off from the song (The full version was however released back in 1985 as a b-side to the UK 12" release of Hardest Part Is The Night). The production of Fahrenheit is a bit average but live the song really works. Richie used to do a 4 minute guitar solo before it but I can't see that happening again anytime soon. It does have a good hook to it and some nice riffs here and there which are always good to hear.

They did soundcheck the song on the Lost Highway tour once or twice before the European Tour started and with the vocals being not that hard it's a song Jon could easily sing live. I'm wondering though, does anyone really like the song as much as I do? Apart from the cheesy stuff before the solo ("Hahaha, hey baby what are you doin'? etcetera) I think the song rocks as hard as any other decent Bon Jovi rocker. And because it appeared on Cross Road I reckon more people know it than any other song from Fahrenheit and the chorus is easy to sing along to.

So what do you think? Yay or nay?

I used to love it, but I overplayed it and haven't enjoyed it since. I'd kill to hear it live though. It was a real fun song.

I'll go for yay, because I will end up getting back into it one day, and I don't listen to it because I listened to it too much. So yeah, yay.

And finally, a song thread with some meat in it.

"In And Out Of Love" just kills while bein' played live... It's THE rocker. Both "In & Out" and "Tokyo Road" should still be played live today.

i like it, its a pretty good song, especially live with the guitar solo intro.

I gave it a yay. Good song. I laugh at the cheesy parts every single time, they're too cute =D

I gave it a Yay.

Not a big fan of 7800 or Bon Jovi - Self Titled, but this is one of the songs I like.

Would be great to hear it live. Jon wouldn't be abe to pull the scream off though

One big massive YAY! from me. Always loved that big bitch of a rocker! The live version on One Wild Night is by far superior to the album version though.

This gets a massive YAY from me, I love 7800 and this is a standout. This and Tokyo Road are under-rated by the band. Well, the whole album is.

Yay for me, the song is a super rocker. It does have a great hook and great riffs. The OWN version is absolutely great, Richie is all over the song. This song is better live than on record. Would love to hear live, BTW haven't they been soundchecking it for the past two tours and still nothing...

I love it. Yay yay yay.
