This House Is Not For Sale (2016) - Post Album Release Discussion

I wish that and with a big cross.
I love crosses.
I have got 2 crosses tattoed one on each hand

SZ: You're talking about alcohol...
JBJ: Oh, Richie's had a lot of demons. Our drummer Tico Torres has been sober for 25 years now. I have been anyway. David Bryan has no issues with drugs.

Did not know that Tico used to drink.

I got my copy last thursday. I managed to stay away from all temptations and only watched the official videos.

I had very low expectations but got more and more excited once I started to read all your reviews.


Fave Songs:
This house
Knockout (didn´t like it at first but love it now)
Labour of Love (altough the melody reminds me too much of Saturday Night)
Roller Coaster
Devil´s in the Temple
Scars
God bless this mess
Real Love
All hail the king
I´ll drive you home


I still don´t have the connection with Ghost, Reunion, New Years day, Born again and Goodnight NY. I especially was looking forward to Ghost but somehow - I don´t know. I like the lyrics and the way Jon sings it but the music isn´t doing it for me.

Come on up is way to cheesey for my tastes and I always hated We don´t Run. Didn´t like it on BB and was very disappointed when I found out it would be on this record as well. Next to WFTWM it´s the worst Jovi song for me.

Overall it´s in my Top 3 post 2000 list next to Crush & Lost Highway.

Hopefully, it's only a two-week thing that many artists do with their new albums to boost the sales. The fact that there is no "Bon Jovi album This House Is Not For Sale is not currently available. We are working on it and hope to have it soon" message gives me hope that it will be released there soon.

[quote=Santa Fe;1214493]I think he went to rehab after the NJ Tour.

Thanks to bonjovi90 for the article!

This is what I found strange:

SZ: Had there already been signs of your sidekick Richie Sambora leaving one day?
JBJ: During the cause of a huge tour six years ago he needed to go to rehab, so we had a replacement guitarist for a number of shows. We were aware of Richie's issues, one day he lost his driver's license, the other he was sleeping on the street. These stories are known

Altough it´s none of our business but this story is not known to me. But I guess it´s just another example of behind the scenes info we know nothing about.

Anyone know who's doing the vocals at the end of I Will Drive You Home?

100 percent one is Dave, the other I'm not sure about. I wonder if it's Shanks.

Tico was a horrible drunk. Aggressive. I've seen that quoted and spoken a few times by Jon.

The Tico of today is far removed from the 80's drinking TT. He apparently had an altercation with another group during the Moscow Music Piece Festival. That whole event was played by bands (including Jovi) under the influence of drink & drugs!!

[quote=Santa Fe;1214493]He was an alcoholic in the late 80's. Somewhere in a book (I think it's "In Their Own Words") Jon said something along the lines of "Tico was a really mean guy that could get you in all sorts of trouble with a lot of people." On another note Tico has once referred to that era as "a time when I drank at least one bottle of Whiskey per day".

Tico said he went looking for Tommy Lee after Tommy punched Doc in Moscow.
