They had been mentioned somewhere else previously as bonus tracks for Japan only.

That's, unfortunately, really more true than ever.
Last week, I was wearing a KTF shirt one day and got asked twice by colleagues: "Are they actually still making music or are they retired by now?"
That being said, one of them actually saw them on the KTF tour and one of them around the Crush era I think. Both into rock music and none of them having any idea Bon Jovi was still releasing albums.

So it is true because 2 of your colleagues thought so? In 2000 My cousin called them 'Altrocker' in 2004 my teacher asked if they are still around. I mean it is not as if BJ only sell a few thousand tickets per tour. Yes, they are not as successful as they used to be but saying Jon is desperatly trying to stay relevant is a bit too much.

That's completely past the point I was making.
I said that their recent outputs have gone largely unnoticed by the general public and made them rather irrelevant in this field.
Them still being able to shift good tickets since they've become a nostalgia act people want to see in concert is something different.

If only Jon could sing that would be interesting.
And following the discussion,the LH DVD is boring to death,I only could watched it twice,so if LH DVD is boring,2020 show will be the "funniest" thing ever...

Aloha !

There's plenty of people thinking these performances were good. Just have a look at any video with Jon Bon Jovi hitting a note that's just slightly above his lower range. People think he's capable of singing Always just because of that even though everything he sings sound flat and out of breath.

The Lost Highway DVD is a good product. At the time it was pretty original in that (with the exception of TLFR which doesn't really count) the band had not performed one of their albums live and in full. The performance was also very good. Some of the performances on that DVD are arguably among the best performances of those songs.

Really? What song on the DVD sounds better on the DVD than anywhere else?

No, it couldn't. The songs just aren't there. Darkness on the Edge of Town doesn't have 4 songs on it no one cares for. Lost Highway and 2020 do.

In 1997 at least in Europe Jon was a superstar. Even that didn't help to make it a hit.
In 2020 Jon is an old, former rockstar who desperately tries to be relevant but actually besides some group of die-hards no-one cares.
So your point of distribution ways for videos is nonsense. It wouldn't change anything either way.

Yes, it does. You're thinking the VHS didn't sell because of low demand but the thing didn't sell because barely anyone knew it was out there. The promo was focussed on the album because music VHS didn't sell at all anyway. Even if you were a die hard you still had to pay about 30 Euro's for the VHS and ask your local record store to order it for you.

Compare this to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter with everything available for free and available with one or two clicks. Aand you're saying the point of distribution ways for videos is nonsense?
