Default Fields of Fire

I was sifting through You Tube and i found a intresting unreleased song from KTF called Fields of Fire. I liked it alot. Why did Jon leave it off the album?

Awesome song - but I think Jon only sang it once live. It would have been too hard to sing live very often would be my guess. It was released on the These Days bonus disc in Japan.

It's a good song, but I don't think it's better than most of KTF. I'd put it above "Fear", "If I Was Your Mother", and "I Want You"

I mean, the track's alright, but I don't rate it above anything on KTF. And 3 tracks aren't "most" of KTF. In fact, half the tracks on Lost Highway are better than it, IMO.

So many better b-sides to pick that should have been on albums.

I think it's where it deserves to be, a decent, but not great b-side.

One of the best Jovi songs. And I mean the KTF bonus track version, not the butchered box set version.

Are you talking about Fields of Fire or Starting All Over Again ?

Fields Of Fire isn't on the box set, I guess you're mixing it up with Starting All Over Again?

Salaam Aleikum,

Damn, yes I am. The greatest-part still stands, though. I love them both.
