Would be good to see someone ruin your thread, seen as you do it a lot.

These Open Arms is a good song, not great but probably could have replaced Wildflower on the actual disc.

As far as LMS goes, it's one of my favorite songs in the band's history so suffice it to say I don't find it to be overrated. Some of the best lyrics Jon has ever written.

"Each song played was just another example of how ingenious these guys are at writing choruses that make you feel like there’s a big game tomorrow, that you’re the underdog, and that you’re going to win."

I agree totally with u here!!! I love both of these songs!!
First, i should mention Last Man Standing! Both versions are great! But the rockier version is awesome!! First Bon Jovi song i heard live!!
Wildflower is great! It should in no ways be replaced!
These Open Arms - Sami - so what if its another ballad written with DC - its blumming amazing!! I love this song to bits! Its not on the UK cd, but my friend sent me it and i loved it instantly! Have done ever since then!!

Don´t get me wrong-
I love Desmond Child´s songwriting. He is a genius and the team of JB-RS-DC has written some of the greatest rock songs ever. IMO they should collaborate even more.

I remember in the 80´s there was a lot of criticism when BJ started to collaborate with DC. I always disagreed. I consider DC to be a vital part in the success of Bon Jovi.

And, yes, I like These Open Arms a lot. I actually wish they had written a few more tracks with DC for HAND.
