Legendary - new single

Did Limitless get much airplay? Not sure I heard it much on the Radio in the UK?

I heard it a few times but nothing to make any kind of dent in the charts. I can see Legendary going the same way as to me it’s a very similar type of pop song. Disappointing in other words!😕

I thought it had very little airplay?🤔

So that's what a new Bon Jovi record comes down to these days? Hoping at least one song will have a guitarsolo?

Let's go back to 1992 - Keep The Faith
1. I believe: Kick ass solo
2. Keep the Faith : Legendary solo
3. Sleep When I'm dead: Kick ass solo
4. In these arms : Kick ass solo
5. Bed of Roses : Legendary solo & also the main guitar riff/lick/intro is top notch guitar
6. If I was you mother: Guitar Solo's and riff and all you can think from start to finish
7. Dry County : THE guitar solo : Basically 2 guitar solo's that are extraordinary and the outro is an extended guitarsolo again
8. Woman in love : guitar drive rocker with cool guitar solo
9. Fear : one of the most underrated guitar driven heavy rock tracks by the band
10. I want you : Pretty guitar solo
11. Blame it on the love of Rock'n'Roll : We all know it's basically a Sleep When I'm Dead part 2, but full of cool guitars start to finish
12. Little bit of soul : Cool guitar Solo
13. Save a Prayer ( for those who have the European version) : what a guitar smash. Haunting guitars where Richie both rocked and got into some 'The Edge' effect shit
14. Starting all over again : another guitar driven song with cool solo

(I could have done this for any Bon Jovi record up till Crush)

Dire.


I thought at least it will be better than Limitless. Honestly I don't know that is any better than Limitless, which was such a low bar to begin with.

imo

the whoas are horrible and add nothing to the song
jon's voice is still such a struggle to listen to
the chorus is meh, the brown eyed girl line is cringe to start with and then add in that pause before Legendary, just awful
the guitars are barely audible and neutered
the thumping drum pattern is awful, doesn't fit the song and is too loud in the mix

So I guess it didn't quite meet my initial expectations, which are now even lower than before.

I seen this quote in a press release
"This record is a return to joy. From the writing, through the recording process, this is turn-up-the-volume, feel-good BON JOVI," said Jon Bon Jovi.

I have zero confidence there is any turn-up-the-volume, feel-good Bon Jovi on this new album. Nowadays jon is completely clueless when it comes to a rock anthem where one would want to turn up the volume.

Dire song aside, the production is awful. So that's a constant

We don't run was cool.
Walls was cool too.

This one is When we were us meets Limitless.

That song's definitely a grower. I'm hearing it in a loop and it seems to get better every time, at least for me. But.. I have to admit, the Woaahs are pretty annoying after some time

I like it quite a bit.

If you are expecting a rock song in the old definition of such, this will not be far you.

When Jon says this is a return to "feel good Bon Jovi", I take it he means in comparison to 2020. I very much doubt he sits and contemplates if this is a rock song compared to Keep The Faith.

Judging solely from the length of the songs on the album, I do not expect any guitar solos

Avd if everyone is honest with themselves, no matter what kind of solo we do get, if any, it likely won't be up to a majority's expectations anyway.

I feel the Whooas are as overused as the talkbox was in the 2000's. Let Shanks and Phil play a bit guitar instead of them singing those gang vocals (though I'm sure they could do both).
