"Temptation" anyone?
 
I think this track really stands out, like "Save A Prayer", as it is far away from the typical BJ sound. It shows the creative, not formula-driven, experimenting side of the band. I just love the feeling and the tone of it, it's the only B-side from "Crush" which should have made the album imo (I guess many may disagree here). Can't decide which version I like better, the original B-side demo or the remix from the box. Maybe the latter, as it sounds more like a full song.

Anyone else worshipping it?

Omg I love the boxset one SO much.

Man I loved that song, the whole box set is just great.

I like it a lot.

I like the Box Set remix, but I don't like the original B-side version at all.

I've never heard the original, just the one of the box. Am I write in thinking that the band don't actually play on it?

Anyways, I agree it's a really good song, like you said, quite different from the typical Bon Jovi sound. It's odd, seeing how completely different Crush could have been

I think the song is weak, definitely a b-side.

I love Temptation. I believe it is one of the songs that was to be part of a 3rd JBJ solo album - which then became Crush. That's one reason why it doesn't fit the rest of the record. Picture it on Destination Anywhere and it fits perfectly.

I like both versions but then I love Destination Anywhere.

I LOVE the version on the box set. The original b-side version was just okay, not something I wanted to listen to over and over again. I was blown away by the box set version.

I've only ever heard the Box Set version and I love the song. I like nearly every song from the Box Set and I reckon "Temptation" is close to my favourite.

LOVE both the box set and the Crush, B-Side version. The song has a very Tom Waits quality about it. I totally dig it!

Totally agree

Just gotta love that whiskey breath feeling it has.

kenobi_on_a_prayer 06-18-2008 10:15 AM

It's a pretty cool song.

eddie73 06-18-2008 06:40 PM

its a great song, has a spooky feel to it, reminds me of house of the rising sun(the intro anyway)

Adam D 06-18-2008 06:41 PM

Sounds like something The Doors would have done, very cool and adventurous song. It would have fit very well on Destination Anywhere.

Ashley_Lauren 06-23-2008 11:05 PM

I love "Temptation"--it's HOT. a very sexy sound to it, imo

I agree. That intro is exactly like house of the rising sun.
IMO The song sucks anyway.. ripping off another one didn't save it
