Yes, only on Cross Road/Greatest Hits and the WAN Deluxe Edition (!) as bonus track, not as part of the album. And I think they kind of made Blaze a band song over the years, which is why it's on the greatest hits..

Of course there are numerous songs only written by Jon (or credited for), like Bed Of Roses, Always, etc. but those are not Jon solo songs, but Band songs as well...

There are a lot of Jon tracks (songs performed with his solo band) on band releases but there's at least a few band songs that wound up on solo material too so I guess it goes both ways.

What if Richie is reasonably clean but not 100% sober? That might explain the "tip-top" type tweets along with Jon's implications that it's alcohol related. Maybe Jon demanded an alcohol-free Richie and Richie said screw that, you are way overstepping your bounds here, I'm performing fine.

Just a thought.

Well we know Jon is not demanding an alcohol-free tour. Have you seen the pics Phil X tweeted with his booze on the private plane?

According to wikipedia anyway.
GOOD Jon solo written songs:
Dry County

....so indeed, "Bon Jovi" works better as group effort.

Dude, you have no taste!

I'm just kidding with you. Taste is subjective. I like most of the songs Jon wrote by himself.

Well, when it comes to opinions & preferences of majority on this board, I happily admit the first part. I do admit that I so dislike 95% post-ktf-Bon Jovi. And perhaps some 25% of pre.

Taste being subjective indeed. At times is kinda odd that only certain taste qualifies as "being a Bon Jovi fan."

And Postcards was written together with Richie and Mary Green (whoever that is). And No Regrets together with Richie and Martii Fredricksen.
