If he actually said that in TWO interviews, what a dickhead thing to repeat. But I recall Jon saying he did it as a favour to help David out. I haven't been able to find it again but it was very uncomfortable. |

I assumed it was because of David's divorce, giving him a writing credit on what Jon assumed would be a succesful album financially. It wasn't a single but he'd still get extra money with a writing credit from his already lucrative performer royalties. |

It's known that Jack Ponti and Jon wrote Shot Through The Heart during Jon's stint in the rest. This demo doesn't feature Jon on vocals, but there was an interview where Jack was quoted saying that the original chorus was better and this may give an idea of how the song originally was. The second song - I'm not even sure if this was also a demo from the Rest, but it bares quite some strong resemblance to Breakout in parts and may have been another song originally written by Jon and Jack and then party reused for the band's debut album. Or is the second song some rather known one from that era that I just haven't heard previously? :D |

And yes, that second songs verses does indeed sounds pretty much exactly like Breakout! No way that's a coincidence. |

He got proper big for his boots during that era, which was evident in the documentary which was 50% "poor me" and 50% "look how great I am". Richie leaving seemed to bring him back down to Earth a bit and he has eased off in recent years. Though, I don't think it is a dick move to explain David's part in the song unless he wasn't asked about (random to just bring it up), or unless he is lying. |
