I agree with you jovi29579. The only thing that concerns me about the new single is will there be any unreleased demos.

I don't think Jon worries about the single being a hit too much. He said he left quote unquote hits off of Crush; becasue there were other songs they'd rather play live everynight.

Personally I think Misunderstood is probably one of the more catchier songs on the cd. My roommate doesn't like Bon Jovi but Love Me Back To Life has caught his attention. The Distance caught my attention the first time I listened to the cd. I think every song on bounce is pretty equal. I think it's hard to say what single would do the best.

Who would've predicted Always doing what it did? Who would've predicted Prayer doing what it did. Jon didn't want to have Prayer on Slippery as we all know, and Always was only released to give the fans something new on Cross Road. He was going to give it to some soundtrack for a foregin film.

I think the Bon Jovi name alone pretty muchs secures worldwide sales of around $10 millions copies. People have been getting quailty cds for almost 20 years now, they do not need to hear singles to make them want to buy the new cd. I actually didn't want to hear Everyday or any of Bounce until I got Bounce and all the bsides. I wanted to sit down with 19 brand new songs and take it all in; it's an amazing feeling I tell you.

I can't remember the last time I seen a Bon Jovi video on MUCHMUSIC, Canada's video station for popualr artists; but as far as I know Bon Jovi sells pretty well here in Canada album wise. I think Crush's debut was at #4 here in Canada. I don't listen to my local rock station much but what little I have, I have not heard Everyday.

There are very few people in the world who are not familar with Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi fans of the 80's are becoming parents and passing it onto their kids, My litte brother was 4 when I turned him onto Bon Jovi, he's now 13 and a huge Bon Jovi still to this day.

Bon Jovi Forever. One single is not really going to have much impact on this bands career at this point.

Fans just like to bitch becasue "their" favorite song wasn't picked.
