2020: The New Album

We've seen plenty of the opposite (songs done by the solo band credited as band songs) though.



That was a really weird fake fact from the early 2000s (? I think?) That got debunked. That's 100 percent Jeff Beck playing guitar on the Crossroads version.



To your last point....part of me wonders if Jon has decided to drop the band angle and just fully go forward with calling it as his own name. His big creative partner isn't technically a band member, his other guitarist is a hired hand, Dave and Tico don't write for the band and might not be as involved as they used to be. He could finally be ready to say "this is me, sometimes we all do it all together sometimes not". Could all just be a cockeyed theory but calling a band album song as "by Jon Bon Jovi" after three years of ramming the idea of a band down our throats isn't making as much sense to me.

It definitely has the guitar sound of Top Gun and the melody of Beethoven in there. Maybe that's what Jon meant with clear vision?
"I know what kind of songs I'm gonna plagiarize in the future and how obvious I'm gonna make it."

Same thoughts here. However, I find the song rather annoying on itself. The vocal delivery is abysmal.

To be fair, he has no vocals so what can be expected?
