- - 40th Anniversary Boxset (2025) (https://drycounty.com/jovitalk/showthread.php?t=70845)

"Summer's Gone" is on the Beach Boy's 2012 album That's Why God Made The Radio. It's actually my least favourite track on the album and would be a waste of space on the box set.

I do however very much want to hear Hurricane Butterfly. Also, would love a version of Burn With Me with much better vocals (Jon sounds like a strangled cat in the available version).

Also, Let It Rain is a 90's demo? I have obviously missed something.

I think that refers to the song he recorded with Pavarotti, not the 2020 song.

BTW - Elvis in Vegas is a 94 demo from the CR/TD sessions. That would be high on my list of "must hear" tracks.

Summer's Gone - as far as I remember - wasn't written by Jon, but he came in and contributed a verse and some lines.
So I doubt there's a recording of his in the vaults.

Quote:

"Summer's Gone," the final track on "Radio," was finished with the help of Jon Bon Jovi. " 'Summer's Gone' was something we wrote one verse to and then Jon Bon Jovi came by the studio one day and he called it Brian's 'My Way,' " Thomas said. "Jon collaborated with us a little on it, changing the melody in a couple of spots. He wrote some really nice verses that kind of tied it all in together. We definitely appreciated the contribution because it took it from one great verse to one great song."

God every time I see the title "it only takes one to say goodbye" I'm excited :D

About " I watched her walk away" yes, should be an outtake from the Bounce era.

Hurricane Butterfly more probably is an outtake from THINFS.

Crying for the band was too sad and according to them it hasn't left the notebook, even if there's a little possibility they've recorded it.

There is also the song "Elvis in Vegas" that could be in the box set.

Someone mentioned the song " Love to fall" feat Avicii, but according to Jon if I'm not wrong, he said that they haven't recorded it.

Although I have included a few songs on my list that have been given away to other artists it seems unlikely that we will hear tracks like "Elvis In Vegas" (Meat Loaf) or "We All Sleep Alone" (Cher).

Avicii said that Jon wasn't too keen to finish recording the track. It probably only exists in a demo version, but the Bon Jovi camp is unlikely to own it.

Oh I had no idea that Elvis In Vegas was from 94 - it's an ultimate "must hear" track for me either way, but that makes it even more of a "must hear" track :D

I can’t see songs given away to other artists being on the box set although would love Elvis in Vegas.
Meatloafs version is perfect for his opera rock but 1994s Jon would have sounded amazing.

“To coincide with what will be our 40th anniversary in 2023, we’re in the midst of archiving anything and everything we have, and much to my surprise, there’s probably 40 or 50 songs that we had no idea existed. We’re going through that all right now. And now that technology is such - whether it’s lyric books or photographs and video and film and things - I had no idea that I was such a hoarder, we have a lot. And to coincide with the 40th anniversary is going to be the be all end all box set.”

I dont believe any single word Jon Bon Jovi says.
