It's a good song, I like pretty much all of the heavier songs from Bounce. It's probably the only Bon Jovi song in existence which has an almost industrial feel to it, and it wins for that. Oh, and the cut off ending is genius

One of the very few I can stand on that crap album. Lacks a proper guitar solo though...

Imo should have been the obvious opener for every show on the Bounce tour.

I agree. "Hello, is there anybody out there?", would work perfectly.

They actually did open a few shows early in the tour with it didn't they?

From what I remember it didn't even make it to the setlist that often... may be wrong though. Bounce opened most if not all shows.

I love the song. Not a favourite overall but one of the reasons why I prefer Bounce to Crush or HAND: the heavier songs.

It's alright, I think there are a few better songs on Bounce.

I change my opinion on songs all the time lol

I used to like Who Says You Can't Go Home, Have A Nice Day and Sleep When I'm Dead.

Hate them now
