Young Guns II recording period

On one occasion, he took some time to delve deeper into the songs he had written with Jon over the years. I think "Just Older" was particularly significant because it started from an unfinished lyric he had written, and Jon added his touch to it. Someone asked if he had the original version saved, but he made it clear that he didn't collect such things.

On another note, I acknowledge that Falcon is a man of faith, and he expresses it in many of his songs. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally, he writes quite well. While he may not be a hitmaker on the scale of Desmond, Falcon definitely has his magical touch when it comes to writing.

It's funny because the same somewhat goes for Jon. He doesn't want to be remembered for his hair metal stuff, yet that was the big time most people associate him with in the first place.

If you're looking for a somewhat unique example, Alice Cooper recorded his album "Along Came a Spider," which is purely based on the diary of a death row killer. As for conspiracy theories, great ideas can emerge that you may or may not agree with; Jon has always considered himself a political figure, but it doesn't necessarily mean that his political songs lead anywhere.

And apparently, Falcon's ideas align with Jon's. Otherwise, he would have teamed up with Bob Rock, Desmond Child, and Diane Warren to create a mega-hit. Unfortunately, these aren't the 80s, and Jon's voice and ideas now resemble more that of an old man sitting in his rocking chair chewing tobacco, lol.

I have been a fan of Bon Jovi since my father took me to the 1989 concert in Russia. Therefore, I apologize if my ignorance has inadvertently affected someone; it has never been my intention.
