Which three THINFS tracks should be live staples?
Out of curiosity and especially now that the band seems to have lost faith in their newest album (once again) - which THREE tracks from This House Is Not For Sale should be live staples on tour? I picked three because that's a reasonable amount of new material for a set list containing 20-21 songs and with a huge catalog like Bon Jovi's. Some people might want more and some want less but let's keep it to three.
It can be an interesting read as some favorites like Living With the Ghost and Born Again Tomorrow very rarely gets played or never. I decided not to include any bonus tracks. |
Now that you say 3... When JBJ was in South America last year, he said he ONLY could play 3 songs of THINFS here
|
I voted House, Knockout and Temple...

Here's my picks.
This House Is Not For Sale The obvious choice. A great song, great chorus, great opener and the outro with the extended solo really sets the pace for the concert. Probably the strongest opener from a post-2000 album second to One Wild Night and tied with Bounce. Knockout Not in my top 3 best songs from THINFS but it fits well together with THINFS. The drum intro gives a nice vibe for a stadium and the chorus is one of the most obvious arena anthems on the album. Roller Coaster Probably my favorite of THINFS. One of those great songs to put in early in a set. Uptempo, short and head-on. Also seems to go over quite well with the the audiences despite not being a hit (even though Jon loves to believe so). |

Picked the title track (classic sound for the modern era of the band, good singalong), Rollercoaster (best song on the album, love the melody) and The Devil's In the Temple (raw sound - reminds me of Adam Raised A Cain from Springsteen, would probably be a fun one to sing live for Jon, unlike something like Born Again Tomorrow which works better in the studio)

I really like the outro in God Bless, on the other hand I don't like Born Again Tomorrow too much...

1. Roller Coaster
The Cricle had Love's the Only Rule, and WAN had That's What the Water Made Me. THINFS has Roller Coaster. An album track that is a great song which goes over live really really well. Should be a staple. 2. This House Is Not For Sale It's the title of album, the lead single and title of the tour. It has to be played 3. Born Again Tomorrow It's a tough one between this and Living with the Ghost. Born Again Tomorrow sounded pretty good live during the promo shows and I love it as a song in general, so I'd pick this one. Ghost & Knockout should also be rotated heavily. |
That was difficult. I wanted to check 6 boxes.
Picked: New Years Day Devil’s in the Temple God Bless This Mess Also wanted: Roller Coaster This House Living with the Ghost And to be honest I want these as well: All Hail the King I Will Drive You Home |
