2 Very Special Bon Jovi Projects

What is the order? Pre-production then demo? I always thought they were one in the same?

There was actually the start of a song right before that were Jon says that he can't remember the lyric but knows the tune.

"Delisio Delisio you don't know your name" (or something like that)

I don't think so.For example checkout the preproduction demo of Edge Of A Broken Heart

And now the studio demo

You can see that the instruments and lyrics are slightly different.Same with Backdoor to Heaven,the preproduction demo has different vocals,no backing vocals,some screams at the end and the guitar is totally diferent.
So i guess that there is a preproduction demo and after that comes the demo..

I wonder the same thing.

Here we have Love is War from demo sessions.

Here we have Love is War more polished .

I would like the disk 2 was polished like Love is War. I think will not be so, but you never know, maybe some of these songs polished as Love is War.

Yea. I get it. There are different stages.

I always thought the Love Is War b side was a finished song, with just a different producer.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the polished version, Rolio. Good find!

Got a boner at the thought of Now and Forever being as polished as the above Love Is War. This box set needs to happen

Well, with Love Is War - those are two different recordings. The demo and the final cut which was made for the single. In the other hand we have only one version (unless there's something hidden which I doubt - why would they keep finished songs?). And this version will be better than what we have, with clear sound etc but it will be the very same recording.

Actually, I have three different versions of Love Is War.
Preproduction demo - there are almost no vocals, lost in the mix probably? All of those preproduction demos sound like the band was just playing it live somwhere.
Original demo - maybe this was already recorded, probably just with Bobby or a different engineer and not the producer.
B-side - that's a different recording (different lyrics in the bridge for example). So I guess this was recorded with a producer (don't if with Bruce or not) with the intention to include it on a single.

The demo is miles better. The "polished" version ****s up the melodies and is missing the rawness of the demo. Especially the pre-chorus sucks ass in the polished version. But apparently we will get both versions, so I'm happy.
