This Ain't A Love Song (Acoustic)
 

OK, I have an mp3 version of this song and I don't know where it comes from..and it is amazing to me (the harmonies are awesome), but it seems incomplete to me also. I was wondering if a full version of the song existed. I was reeeeally hoping it would be on the box set, but since it is not, it made me wonder if it was already released. Any of you guys know of a full copy and which single it would be on?

thanks!

I know there is one, i think it has been officially released because theres ones like Born To By My Baby and These Days acoustic too, so they must be on singles as bonus tracks.

Well as for where it came from I have it listed as coming from Newsstation, Tokyo, Japan 5/17/1995. It wasn't released officially and the only version I know of is the cut version. These days acoustic wasn't released officially either and I have that one listed as coming from Maude Vale Studios on 5/3/1996.

Alrighty! Thanks for the info guys :) That's terrible! Damn! It is a wonderful performance and sounds perfectly mixed, never would have that it was live! ha! And yeah, it reminded me enormously of BTBMB acoustic--which, although the first verses are pretty forgettable, they do bring out choruses, vocals, and solos--which are much more powerful than the originals. It is definitly one of my favorite Bon Jovi tracks of their entire career. Very intense, seemingly off-the-cuff, and raw; lots of play between jon and richie (more than just the simple layered 3rds)--just great. And a tip-o-the-hat to Mr. Springsteen at the end with the harmonica...nice touch. Wish they coulda done a similar thing with TAALS too in full length because their vocals on that radio track are amazing.

And just so I don't get flamed, I am certainly not complaining about the boxset. It really sounds like it will be as brilliant as any box set could ever be. But that doesn't mean I didn't have my own ideas about what could have been on it before it was announced--I am only human And I have been waiting for a full version of this song for years now :)

There's an Amazing version Of TAALS Acoustic from Covent Garden, I Think, from These Days Tour ...
Richie Did it fantastic, he sings the whole song with JOn and the audience, so in fact Jon couldn't reach the peaks of the song ...

I saw a little part in some documentary of Mtv From DN time ...
I Wonder if somebody has it ...

And I Have also this cutted performance, this from some studio, that's for sure! LOL

Yeah I have the same amazing acoustice version that's cut off in the middle for some reason. It only seems to last two and a half minutes, but it's brilliant. I think I got it from a DC+ hub or summat.
