How did they know what songs were around when they were planning the release of box set? They checked the fan sites.

No it's not. It's one of the worst live albums ever released. All the songs apart from the few from 1985 lack all the energy and passion they had in the 80's and early 90's. The track order is terrible, no live feeling at all, no songs from SWW/NJ/KTF-tours... The flaws are endless. That and TLFR are the only Bon Jovi albums that I haven't listened after they were released.

Aloha !

One Wild Night is crap because every song is edited to make it shorter so more songs would fit one CD, of almost every song are better versions and like Ice said, you never have the feeling you're actually listening to a concert.

And These Days isn't a masterpiece. It's a very good album, but it's not a masterpiece.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Couldn't agree more. They've released lots of great albums, but These Days is in a league of its own. It's one of about only 4 cds I own I'd classify as total, indisputable masterpeices.

TD is my favourite album, mainly because the band went into their deepest feelings and fished out the best lyrics. "My Guitar Lies Bleeding in My Arms", one of the least-popular Bon Jovi Song, is my absolute favourite song.

Regards.

Exactly. It has some great songs along with some pretty crappy ones, which takes it out of the "masterpiece" category.

deeming anything in existence a "masterpiece" is futile, since as with everything, its all subjective.


OWN Live is a waste of time and money, its the only BJ album i dont and will never own. Its rubbish releases like this that encourage bootlegging.
