"100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans..." Box Set - Recording Dates of Songs
Hi
I was wondering whether any of you guys could help me with the original recording dates for the songs on the "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans..." box set. Unfortunately, they are not stated in the box itself... I could figure out for a few songs about what time they were recorded (judging from the text in the booklet), but with most of them, I have no idea. Appreciate your help! Chris |
Don't necessarily take this as gospel ... some of them are blatantly wrong. But this from BJ.com shuld give you an idea
|
Wasn't there a thread about this when the boxset came out and Becky and maybe some others gave pretty accurate dates for all the songs?
|
Oh okay, where can I access these older postings dealing with that issue?!
Thanks, Chris |
BTW, the recording dates I'm most interested in are those for "Love Ain't Nothing But A Four Letter Word (Original Demo)" and "Out Of Bounds"... great tracks!!
Thanks again, C |

1) I never said "Someday just might be tonight" was a solo song. Any song with Richie as a co-writer is obviously a band track. That's not to say anything without him isn't, but you know what I mean. The answer lies in the Sex Sells demos. A bunch of songs from the box set were intended for Jon's proposed third solo album. You can tell what richie does/does not play on. The lack of his playing/style and harmonies are a good indicator. Bobbys and richies guitar style are pretty easy to tell apart. Jon had his solo demos put out as band Crush b-sides, the idea of him doing so for the box set isn't that far-fetched. 2) "I thank you" also had horns. Listen to the album and all it's b-sides. Some of the song have a very bar band, Southside Johnny feel. How many Crush songs had ANY horn/brass arrangements? Crush wasn't a very bar band album, it's stripped of just about any bluesy elements, whereas TD was PACKED with them. That and so many songs were written for Crush, why would they dig up a 5 year old demo for inclusion? They had so much material to choose from, I don't think they'd use old stuff whose style doesn't really fit with the current project. and thinking that "Because they destroyed the song, therefore it's from Crush because I don't like that period" is kinda biased EDIT: Come to think of it, 634-5789 also had horns 3) Prostitute was an early demo because you can tell from the videos that Obie made for AmericanXS, showing really old footage. You can see them recording it, it came from the same sessions that the original Bitter Wine was. You can clearly see due to their hair that it was soon after the KTF tour. This is all my opinion. I obviously think WAY too far into things. |

And I'm not saying the band didn't play on ALL of the b-sides. Just certain b-sides were lifted note for note, the exact same version played for the fans in 1998. You can't lose at love, Hush, and Stay. Quote:

As far as tracks I'm 80 percent sure don't include the band on and are just ones Jon did alone: These arms are open all night I get a rush Last Chance train Shut up and kiss me Crazy Love River Runs Dry and MAYBE Temptation I have various reasons why I think these don't include the band. |
I agree with Matt .... the finished version of Four Letter Word sounds like nothing on Crush, and is far more akin to Damned and Something For The Pain. Damned especially because of the horns. And saying that it must be from Crush because you don't like it is horrendous logic.

So does - Starting All Over Again

Cheers bjcrazycpa!
Man i hope they release another set with sessions from 80s in particular the New Jersey era: Rosie(Bon Jovi version) , Does anybody really fall in love anymore , Love is war. |
It is just insane that they got so many dates wrong. How can a band like BJ (or actually the management) not have a decent administration set up through-out the years?? I mean everything they records have rights don't they, that should be administrated somehow. Everything official, I just cannot believe a management or recordcompany didn't do that.
Realizing that now, I'm so upset I can't sleep tonight so I better stay up |
