Seriously? Disney+ is £4.99 for a month. Just do that for one month and then cancel...

Seriously. I'll just have to wait until uploaded to firestick or visit my mums for a few hours

It also works as a chronicle of a singer's fight to recapture not only the glory days but also his instrument, and some ways his dignity. I don't think we have ever seen such a documentation from a major artist before. It reminds me of Some Kind of Monster in how much Jon was willing to put himself out there.

Ironically, it makes the sanitized history of the band part of the documentary even more baffling. My feeling on that is that the Bon Jovi story is simply a little boring, a bit safe, and does not have much to say.

It would be a better documentary if it just charted Jon in the recent past and present struggling with his voice. 1 hour or 1.5 hours long and no history of the band. Not appealing to as wide an audience, of course.

For those who always ask how the first single from an album is chosen, you might find somewhat of an answer here. This was posted on the Dinsey + FB page to promote the documentary.

Appreciate the link, thanks!
I do think Jon is here PR mode. I'm not convinced he gets to choose 1st single (ever, or on new album, for what it counts), but I am convinced he would be rather bad in choosing 1st singles, regardless of what he says here (by his standards here, for sure bad, but for what I think his standards are, also bad haha)

On concrete example of Legendary, it perhaps makes sense in the US. I personally cannot see sense in Europe at all, but feel free to not agree.

Didn't Jon say that Dorothea actually made him pick Limitless as the single for the last album? I think with his current deal, he has a bit more influence than before.

He's openly said Legendary isn't close to being the best song on the album and typically only says that when a single is chosen he doesn't agree with (What Do Ya Got and All About Loving You come to mind) but it could go either way. I don't know what his current record deal entails.

The label giving him full power to choose the lead single after not having any heat or buzz on the music side for many a year seems suspicious.

So seen 3 of the 4 now.
It's really good.
You can see Jon's broken and the story of the band, is nothing new to diehards, it's nice to see.

I will say I find Richie an utter tool on this. No wonder he wanted to record his part again.
Bullshitting saying he didn't like runaway- he's had 40 years to say that but hasn't- and also when he said "errr wrong!" About not enjoying it. He loved it. Also I had my own record deal....you didn't mate.

I fully get WAN was to soon and Jon came across like a arsehole here saying we needed to push on.
The band and the world didn't need WAN but Jon did for the football team.
But the disrespectful attitude to Richie was out of order from Jon.
He plays down that Richie was upset he didn't play on The Fighter. I'm sorry but to ****ing right. I'd be annoyed as well that some goatee wanker has muscled his way in and is now recording my parts.
I thought Jon sounded like a entitled arsehole here.
There's a reason WAN is at the bottom of most people album list because Richie is right, it doesn't sound like Jovi.

They needed to take a few years off. The Circle tour went on far longer than they anticipated so no one was expecting a new album.

Yes Richie was wrong to not show up and I honestly think he thought he'd sit this one out and be back and for whatever reason it hasn't happened.

Anyway enjoying it.

It was one of the first things he said in interviews after he left the band....there's a few interviews around 2014 when he was slagging off Runaway. He wasn't going to say it while stil in the band was he, let's be honest!
