I've never liked Bad Name live. The guitar is whiney and it sounds different. It's never sounded as good live as it does on the CD. Everything else I like better live (even songs I don't care for are okay live).

I heard a recording of Bad Name on the radio many years ago and it was the first "live" Bon Jovi I ever heard. I was very disappointed because I thought that if it was any indication, they must not be very good live. I'm glad I was wrong! That song has still never thrilled me in concert and I want to throw things at them when they play it on television shows. LOL
