Not Running Anymore is on What About Now

I HOPE it'll be a bonus track. Just for the fact that it's a Jon song with no band involvement.

That would never happen. Ever. If it's truly on the album it's because it was nominated for an award and Jon want's to broaden it's reach.

Of course it's because it's nominated. And it's a good "natural" song. But I'd hate the fact that a band song would be kicked off the album just to include a Jon solo song. Even if it's a bonus track, it doesn't really belong there, in my book. Just like I would have hated if "Blaze Of Glory" would've turned up on KTF.

While I agree about Blaze and KTF we're in a completely different era for the band. Since then there have been multiple songs where it's been just Jon or no Richie etc on officially band released materials. This is only different because we all know where the song came from. I just hope it's a bonus track.

I second that !
anyways, that won't happen. and I hope 'not running' will end up being a bonus track and nothing else. it doesn't seem fair. but then again, Mr. Bongiovi calls the shots and the others don't really seem to bothered about it. It's not like they feel ripped off or anything. we all know the band's on Jon's (CEO) payroll and that's it. they may be friends and probably don't mix their personal relations with business. Hence, Jon can put out as many solo songs as he wants and get away with it.

Still, in all honesty, I think he should either keep his solo songs off the band's work OR , better still, include one of Richie's as mentioned, to promote both solo artists.

Putting Not Running Anymore on What About Now is good way to have another good promotion.
I can accept that if only it's 13 song or bonus track.

If it's a bonus track at no.13, then at least they can stick a sticker on the front of the box ''featuring Oscar nominated/winner song!!1'' blah de blah which might pick up a little extra interest, not much mind you, as the movie is going to flop.



Andi

Yep, what he said above!

For those who wonder why they'd do it...

Imagine the sticker on the front:

'Includes Golden Globe nominated hit 'Not Running Anymore' '

BOOM... a marketer's dream. Plus, in my opinion, I have stopped thinking the rest of the band care about what Bon Jovi records or releases... they do this to be the biggest touring band on the planet, no other reason. They couldn't give a chuff about what Jon decides to put on the album. This isn't a band any more than a thousand covers bands out there, where the lead singer picks the tunes they are going to do and the rest of them just enjoy playing live.

I will take this song on the end of the album as a bonus track every day of the week! Will be good to have a physical copy of it besides buying the SUG soundtrack.

Ok, then I know two tracks from the album and I don't like both of them plus I don't like the snippet of another song and I haven't heard one song. Let's hope the nine other songs will be better...

Speaking about Jon/band album. Does it matter? BWC sounds like Richie doesn't play on it.
