It's a top song, definitely one of the songs that comes to mind when I try to figure out my favourite post 2000 songs, and the performance on the Bounce Tour was really good, with Richie's extended solo. I think that at a show on this tour, if there was any chance of it being played, the band would probably sacrifice Any Other Day for it, which I'd prefer to see, having not seen it before

Aloha !

It's a shit song and a Creed rip off. The band did play it at one of the promo shows in Japan back in 2007 though because it was used for a beer commercial there and that show was sponsored by that beer brand.

I just hope they'll leave it to that. It's awfull live and drags from start to finish. No Richie Sambora solo can save the song.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I woudn't mind it, I don't mind them playing anything they haven't played in quite a while.

Not me, I think it sucked balls like most of the songs in Bounce.

Sure but it's not high on my priorities.

I liked the live version so much more than studio, jut sfor the addition of a guitar solo and the extra chorus was also fine.

But these days I don't listen to Bounce that often, while I did a few years ago. "The Distance" is a good song, and I wouldn't complain to hear it live, but there are so many others I would choose in the first place.

Meh, I would like to hear it live, but there's other songs I want to hear more.
BTW, Seb have you ever listened to Creed? Cause I went through a MAJOR Creed phase way back when, and The Distance does not sound like a Creed song.

Woah, I thought I was the only person in the world of Bon Jovi that hated The Distance!
