Default 'Breakout'

I'm obsessed with this song right now. I always loved it, but revisiting early early Bon Jovi recently has convinced me this is by far and away the best song of the two debut albums.

The lyrics are cheesy of course, but the guitar riff and the keyboard at the forefront really come together well and it has a really rocking vibe to it. The way Jon sings 'better off on my own' is fantastic and I love the breakdown between the second chorus and the solo.

Live it's great too. Obivously they never were going to, but I would have really enjoyed to see them dust this one off a few times, especially when they started playing the likes of 'Only Lonely' and 'Roulette' etc. in 2010. The 'woah-oh-oh-oh's would work well too to get people into the song who most likely wouldn't have a clue what it was.

What do you think of 'Breakout'?
