It depends on the covers. I thought the two on OWN were a waste because they were previously released (as was much of the CD, which is why I thought the CD as a whole was a huge disappointment). Bon Jovi usually does covers incredibly well. My father, who is not a big fan of music in general, has said that Bon Jovi's versions of Bridge Over Troubled Water, Imagine/Give Peace a Chance, and Mrs. Robinson are better than the originals. He's the harshest critic I can think of. Sometimes doing covers demonstrates just how talented Bon Jovi are because they can take loved classic and make it their own.

No "I think" there will be 15 tracks on the album...maybe 14 or 16.It's an ipotetic number of tracks for a single CD.

I agree with your father Becky, they're great doing covers....but I'd rather hear their songs.....they should released the covers on the B-sides of the singles.
Don't forget, Jon also said that there will be 2 new songs on the record in in my opinion they will be released as singles.

"I know what youre saying but dont agree. Out of 8 studio albums bon jovi have only had one cover song".

Neurotica80, which song was this? I didn't realise Bon Jovi had put a cover song on a studio album. I guess you learn something everyday.

oh yes... it all comes back to me now. I remember Jon talking about and saying how much he hated the song. I think he also said something along the lines that he would never get talked into putting another song not written by the band on an album. Thanks for the response.

in the liner notes of nj it says @ ride cowboy ride that it's written by capt. kidd/ king of swing... so it's a cover either -but my first thought was she don't know me... actually there are two of them

Jon and Richie wrote Ride Cowboy Ride and published it under the names Captain Kidd and King of Swing. It's not a cover.
