Default Anyone want to hear Lost Highway?

It's strange that JBJ play Lost Highway every night. As an album, it might have been a great success, but as a song, i don't think fans really want to hear it. I think it better that they play I Believe, Stick To Your Guns, Thank You For Loving Me, These Days, Just Older, Love's The Only Rules, or Learn To Love every night. I think JBJ have to use his ears to listen to the fans voices sometimes.

Depends on where the show is. If you think Stick to your Guns will go over better than Lost Highway, you're way mistaken.

It was my most disliked BJ song ever for a long time, but after hearing it live I don't hate it that much anymore. It works live, people know it and the new instrumental part in the middle they started doing at O2 shows really works. So I'm still not a fan of this song by any means, I'd trade it for Hey God, One Wild Night, I Believe and a lot of others easily, but I don't condemn (if that's the right word) Jon for playing it. And while a lot of people love to say how LH kills the crowd early in the set, it's not LH, it's The Circle song (Superman or WWWB) that goes togethet with it. Casual people are quite into LH.

I like the song (much better than I like the album of the same name). I enjoy hearing it when they play it. I personally would love to hear something like Stick to Your Guns, but like the hubby said, it probably wouldn't go over very well. I still hear Lost Highway on the radio often.

Jon gets to see the immediate reaction on fans faces when he plays a song.

Lost Highway =




The Circle =

For some reason, it appears to have become Jon's favourite song they've ever written. Go figure

I love the song, to be honest.

It's not a bad song. In my opinion it's a pretty good Bon Jovi song. The thing that bothers me is how it is played night after night. Why not rotate it every and play it now and then. That would make me appreciate it more.

I like the current live version without the violin. More of a rocker.
