Best Song Over 6 Minutes
 
One thing I admire about Bon Jovi is their ability to have songs over the length of 6 minutes and still make them into successful hits (whether released or not released).

These Days, Bed Of Roses, Hey God, Lay Your Hands On Me, Blood On Blood, and of course Dry County are all extremely great tracks and are all 6 minutes or more each.

It would be hard to choose a favourite, but if I had to it would have to be Lay Your Hands On Me. The drum/keyboard intro and the guitar riffs make it one of my favourite Jovi songs ever. Although Bed Of Roses, BOB, These Days and Dry County are all in my top 30.

Which epic song is your favourite? (I know its almost impossible to choose!)

Dry County (uneditted) - 9:52
Bed Of Roses (uneditted) - 6:35
These Days - 6:28
Lets Make It Baby - 6:20
Next 100 Years - 6:19
Blood On Blood - 6:17
Hey God - 6:11
Lay Your Hands On Me (with intro) - 6:00

Dry County is the single greatest thing ever recorded, so Dry County.

;)

Hey God and Bed of Roses are probably in my top 5 Jovi songs though.

EDIT: Savvi, the Perth gig was Jan 25th (the day before Australia Day). :p

Hmm...These Days, Blood On Blood, Bed Of Roses, Lay Your Hands, Hey God and Dry County are some of the best Jovi songs ever! But, if I had to go with one:

Hey God.

Dry County will most likely win. It's like THE song amongst people here. :)

But this one is a hard one for me. I love all those songs. Minus 100 Years...I like it, but I don't LOVE it.

Hey God and Dry County are an especially close call. But I go with Hey God.

As good as Hey God, Dry County, Blood On Blood, Bed Of Roses and Lay Your Hands On Me are, I vote for These Days.

Dry County, duh

I think it's very telling that the three albums that are generally considered their best, (Jersey, Faith and These Days) are the ones that each have two 6+ minute songs on them. Nowadays they play it too safe, with no songs off the last two albums, and only one of the last three, being longer than even 5 minutes

Man... what a choice! Blood on Blood is my favorite song EVER with Dry County right after it... I had to vote BOB.

lol I never realized Next 100 Years was over 6min... then again I haven't listened to Crush in over a year.

There can only be one and it's the longest song they've ever release! ;)
