Backstage with Bon Jovi (40th Anniversary)

Is this thing officially dead?

Looks like it.

When it launched, they made a big deal of "subscribe to be notified about all new updates on the site". Did anyone ever get any mail when the NJ and KTF stuff was added? Or for anything else?

No email here.

Only a few follow it through bc they do nothing to promote it, it’s a self fulfilling prophecy

I heard this yesterday for the first time in a while, but I'd love to hear the demo Jon must have recorded for Let It Rain.

Hello,

It is disappointing to see how this project appears to have been abandoned, much like 'Ask Obie' on the main page. I wish someone could provide an update regarding this. Additionally, I never received any updates via email.

They absolutely suck. When this was first introduced during COVID, they delivered a scaled-down TEMU version of what was originally promised. Later, they attempted to provide the full experience as initially envisioned, but that effort fell flat. I believe fan interest faded quickly after that due to the 1-minute snippets of each song. That works in a short-term setting when we know that the full versions will be delivered by a specific date. ie A New Album but the whole thing was becoming too redundant.

Give us the entire song(s) with a paid subscription!!! Enough of the teasing bull-shit.

I agree with you. My concern is not about paying for a membership. My concern, in fact, is the lack of interest from the CEO of Bon Jovi Corporation (Jon). I do not fully understand why he shies away from what he knows would bring in more money, even though he is a millionaire, but who wouldn't want a bit more profit?

Now, David Coverdale knows his voice is not what it used to be, and in recent years, he has focused on releasing luxury and super luxury box sets, including unreleased tracks, demo versions, remixes, and remastered albums. It might not be a huge source of income, but he understands what true fans are looking for.

I don't know, Jon aims for progress but always ends up in a regression. According to the documentary, he knows that 'Cadillac Man' would make millions happy, but it was completely avoided in the backstage vault. It is possible that in the future, they will release all this material, but my prediction is that out of everything they have to release, they will only do so with about 5 or 10 percent.

I agree David Coverdale did a pretty good job with his vault. But it seems he didnt have as much outtakes as Bon Jovi has. I have always been amazed about the huge amount of songs they created without releasing. I cant think of any major band that has got so many great songs that didnt make the album. I think they always wrote about 50 demo tracks for an abum? Jon and Richie were such an amzing duo, because most of these outtakes are rough little diamonds.

They could have been the next Lennon/McCartney of Jagger/Richards and they actually were for their first bunch of albums. But it seems during later years Jon preferred to work alone and not share his credits as much anymore. Richie is a more sprititual person, Jon is more grounded, so they grew apart. Of course other things happened too that caused their seperation but I bet their attitude towards life has got something to do with it too.

Anyway the one minute snippets are like torture, they al sounds so great and when you get into the hook they get turned off.

I was wondering, do you think there is even more when they search out Richies vault? I bet there is.
