I think Rollercoaster was officially single released to radio, Jon was always saying on live shows how it's a hit song on radio (it wasn't really, but it's a good song)

I hope they'll have an official music video of Living Proof in store for us

I must say I still hear Roller Coaster on the radio and in retail stores. It is NJ though so I guess we gives other songs a chance on radio other than just the big hits

Well figured I’d see if this place is still up and running. Nice to see so many familiar usernames. Anyway this song isn’t as bad as Legendary but I’m amused by the hyperbole in this thread. The hook in the chorus is pretty much all it has, and since Jon can’t sing anymore there’s really no variation or change up from one chorus to the next. It also drags too long. The riff screams “trying to sound like Bon Jovi” and is unconvincing. And the lyrics are incomprehensible. They read like ChatGPT spat them out (maybe?).

On the other hand, I actually kinda liked Limitless, so what do I know.

Ooof he sounds rough here. Didn’t remember him struggling like this with any of the new songs in 2017-18 😬

The excitement from the snippets and listening to the full song on release day has died off...

It's too simple, the same old structure, it's almost a carbon copy of HAND.

Now that we have snippets for WE Made It Look Easy and others as well, I fear Forever will yet be another bland offering that further tarnishes the legacy.

Richie's new songs are much more creative comparatively.

I so wish this band would thrive again, but that ship has sailed long ago.

Wait to hear "Forever" in full before writing off it. To expect Bon Jovi to revert to old days is naive, I do think "Forever" Could be a good Album, or it could dissapoint but you can't make a decision until it's released.

I think anyone expecting 12 glorious songs is gonna be really disappointed.
I'm happy with 2 or 3 per album from last 15 years.

Yes. Even on Slippery, New Jersey, KTF and These Days, you could argue all the tracks weren't excellent.....

99 in the shade, Love far sale, if that what it takes, Women in Love etc

There is a least 3 or 4 songs which are weak, and "Forever" won't be the exception.
