Is Novocaine the best song on HAND?
 
If more people say Yes then I give up. You guys can prove me wrong.

KeepTheFaith2211 07-21-2009 09:34 PM

No, but it is a good song on a truly awful album.

Matrix15 07-21-2009 09:35 PM

Well, I certainly think it's good but it seems theres a gang of Novocaine addicts out there.

hackster73 07-21-2009 09:40 PM

Yep, best song on HAND

Matrix15 07-21-2009 09:41 PM

Fair enough.

Captain_jovi 07-21-2009 09:53 PM

To me, it definetely is. I cannot completley relate to it, I loooove it.

Captain Walrus 07-21-2009 09:57 PM

It's the second best IMO

kenobi_on_a_prayer 07-21-2009 09:57 PM

Not the absolute best for me, but often in my top 3.

Sleep-When-Im-Dead 07-21-2009 10:02 PM

nope not the best song on the album, in my opinion the title track takes that prize.

milomom 07-21-2009 10:34 PM

Nope! http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...a_snooty-1.gif

ZB_ 07-21-2009 10:38 PM

I don't like it. Maybe the lyrics are good, but I don't listen to lyrics, I need the music. If I were doing the HAND poll I would replace some track with "Dirty Little Secret" too. It's da best.

BonJovi100 07-21-2009 10:50 PM

No. It's far behind DLS, I Am, Compluicated, Last Cigarette, ecc but this song is very good but there more better in great HAND album.

Thierry 07-21-2009 10:55 PM

For me it is definately the best song on Have A Nice Day. Great lyrics and I really love the 'jumpy' guitar solo.

'Da' best?

Are you from the Ghetto?

No, it's not. I think 'I Want To Be Loved' is :D

severo17 07-21-2009 11:23 PM

Nop. The best is Have A Nice Day for me. Novocaine comes second, Last Man Standing third :p

Not in my opinion. HAND is worse than TLFR. :)


- This comment will be attacked.

Brklyn94 07-22-2009 01:26 AM

Nah, Novocaine's a pretty decent song but definitely not the best.

Javier 07-22-2009 02:56 AM

for me it's behind HAND, SOML and LMS.... but it is a very good song :D

Panda 07-22-2009 06:06 AM

Hmmm the lyrics are pretty decent but it is probably my 3rd least face on the album. So no it most definatly isn't. HAND is also my 2nd least fave jovi album as well.

Javier 07-22-2009 06:32 AM

it hurts me so much when people don't like an album that I love.... :(

Javier 07-22-2009 06:34 AM

:cry:

..............

Panda 07-22-2009 06:47 AM

Used to like hand. Then I realized that it was just filled track after filled track. Rarely listen to it nowadays.

ZB_ 07-22-2009 08:27 AM

11 votes for "yes" and 19 for "no" till now. I didn't expected so many people agreed "Novocaine" is the best song on the album. I think I should listen to it again...

EDIT: Well... It doesn't move me, but could be listenable when you're in this kinda mood (the same with maybe a half of the album).

Panda 07-22-2009 08:46 AM

I personally think half the people that voted yes are jumping on a band wagon. It may be some of peoples 3rd or 4th fave HAND song, but they're just disgruntled it wasn't there.

danfan 07-22-2009 11:44 AM

I don't think it is but I voted yes in hopes these polls will finally end.

Who Dares Rocks 07-22-2009 12:00 PM

No, it isn't for me. It's easily one of the song I like the least on the album. Doesn't mean I don't like it, but there's so much others songs that I love and find better than Novocaine on HAND.

ZB_ 07-22-2009 12:26 PM

Danfan, come on... Nobody told that you have to take a part in the polls. If you don't like it, well, just don't enter the thread. Let the others have some fun. :)

Sami 07-22-2009 03:16 PM

I never liked it. I know there are a lot of people saying itīs one of the best BJ songs of the decade but I simply donīt like it. I suppose it would have sounded better if Jon had sung it in the 80īs.

Still, HAND the album has grown on me during these few years.

Well, I think Jon still sounds good on the albums and the problem is in the arrangement. What's this, man? One, big, over-producted mess. And almost the whole album sounds that way.

MrIks from Finland 07-22-2009 04:26 PM

Yep, Novocaine is the best. Still don't wanna say it's great 'cause there is no great song on HAND...

Yeah, I know. Funny - I'm always the one defending those who start a thread that has been brought up a million times. I just can't stand polls like this. They do this on backstage. It all leads to a poll like What year did Jon's hair look best?

Sleep-When-Im-Dead 07-22-2009 08:07 PM

One thing i do like about this is that it seems to be the 3rd chapter for tommy and gina (after prayer and BTBMB) kinda shows the troubles theyre going through "different kinda me from livin on a prayer", it probably isnt that at all but thats how i see it, but as others have mentioned it doesnt really do it for me musically the chorus grates a lil bit too.

He doesnt say "different kinda me from livin on a prayer"; he says 'different kind of meaning now, to livin on a prayer.'

DryCounty 07-22-2009 09:09 PM

It looks like Novocaine would have won the HAND album poll if you shall trust these results :cool:

VW Golf Bon Jovi 07-22-2009 09:23 PM

Nope, the titletrack is way better.

Am I the only Bon Jovi fan in the world to say that the title track is complete shit and should never have been wrote? :confused:

I enjoy it live. Nothing more. Although I don't like the HAND record at all either.
