Favorite unreleased song
 

What is your favorite unreleased Bon Jovi song?
Edit: what I meant was songs that didn’t make it to the official album list in like These Days, KTF, Crush etc.. I consider songs released in compilation albums and such (B-Sides, Bonus tracks) as unreleased.

Hope this helps :)

I haven’t heard all but as of now my favorites are Edge of a Broken Heart, Real Life and The Fire Inside.

Sorry to be picky but my answer will depend on this question: define unreleased?

Technically both those are released, do bonus tracks count etc. (I have five or six different answers haha).

Neurotica and Stay, if they count

Luv Can and I Will Drive You Home are close to those as well.

Stay, if we count b-sides.

Postcards from the Wasteland is a close second, and Luv Can is there too, if we count bonus songs.

Cadillac Man for me ;)

Ahah I see. Well what I meant was songs that didn’t make it to the official album list in like These Days, KTF, Crush etc.. I consider songs released in compilation albums and such (B-Sides, Bonus tracks) as unreleased.
Hope this helps :)

Luv Can, I Will Drive you Home, Postcards from the Wasteland are all up there for me.

Miss Fourth Of July, Bitter Wine, These Arms Are Open All Night and These Open Arms are the first ones that come to mind.

Also a huge fan of Lonely, Luv Can and Stay.

Apparently I have a thing for ballads [emoji23]

Just realized that some of the songs I loved at times like Borderline or River Runs Dry - I haven't listened to quite a few of them in a long time.
Neurotica has always been a favourite of mine, also Postcards From The Wasteland. Never grew tired of those, others I only really liked for a certain period of time before they were to fade again. Walk Like A Man, Borderline, Luv Can and Dirty Little Secret are also some that come to mind.

I got Cadillac Man on top of my list - miles ahead.
Followed by Miss 4th of July, These Arms Are Open All Night, Neurotica and Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore. With the latter one it's really annoying that we didn't get a proper version with the NJ deluxe edition.

Maybe we'll find that original tape reel at some point as well :mrgreen:

Nothing & Cadillac Man

Same choice. Nothing and Cadillac Man are songs that should be on an official release. Legendary songs.

Although I must say that the 2004 box set has a lot of great gems. The Fire Inside, Last Man Standing, Taking it Back, The Radio, Last Change Train, Satellite, River Runs Dry, Letter to a Friend, Gotta Have A Reason....

Another personal favorite is Good Guy's Don't Always Wear White. Produced by Andy Johns and mixed by Bob Clearmountain. Sometimes I fantasize what a rock n roll album would have been like with this team of engineers.

Oh yeah, almost forgot about Nothing. Great song, in my opinion one of those could-have-been-a-hit songs the band didn't notice.

Firsts to come to my mind are Cadillac Man,Wedding Day,You Cant Lose At Love and Walk Like A Man.

The These Days and Crush b-sides were so good.

When She Comes, Stay, and I Don't Wanna Live Forever.

The Radio Saved My Life Tonight is my fav.

Runner ups: Edge of a Broken Heart, Dirty Little Secret, Who Would You Die For, Save A Prayer, Game of the Heart, Postcards From The Wastelands...

Nothing and Luv Can.

Speaking of unreleased songs.

For the first time, in 2022 all of AEROSMITH's iconic recordings will be unified in one place ahead of the band's upcoming 50th anniversary through a new multifaceted partnership with UMG. In addition to supporting the band's consolidated catalog, this partnership will also make use of unprecedented access to the storied "Vindaloo Vaults" and personal archives of bandmembers Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford, who will actively help curate their collections of music, photos, video footage, artwork, journals, set lists and memorabilia. Future releases will offer fans access to never-before seen and heard gems, that will further cement the band's position as one of rock's most ground-breaking and reverential groups in history.

1.Dirty Little Secret
2.Love Is War
3.Another Reason To Believe
4.Nothing
5. I have some songs on the same level and it's hard to choose - Bordeline, We All Sleep Alone, Open All Night, Tempation, Save A Prayer, Nobodys Hero (alternative outtake), Neurotica...

there's an alternative outtake?

Fields of Fire

If we're counting non studio album tracks, any assembly of them will be way more superior than any post 2000 album release. Its quite astounding how stark the disparity is with this band, which I do feel is quite unique. But somehow, therein lies the problem with this entity known as Bon Jovi; the band clicked more often than not but was ruined by various extraneous factors so much so that it couldn't discern between greatness & utter crap.
Anyway, my favorites [in order, kind of]:-

Miss Fourth
Postcards
Radio
Flesh & Bone
Garageland
Fields of Fire
Lonely
Good Guys
Edge of a Broken
Neurotica
Breathe
Sad Song Night
Drive
These arms
Tempation
Save A Prayer
I dont wanna live forever

I'm sure I'm missing some gem but what A grade Bonus tracks. Better than the greatest hits of any major band in the past 30 years.

I consider bonus tracks released tracks as they are on the album just a different disc or tagged on the end.


Borderline
Edge of a broken heart
Love is war
Good guys

For me, Good Guys is such a cracker of a rock song! I really wish they would've done some more of those songs in that era.
Just like I had hoped for some more proper country rock as in Put The Boy Back In Cowboy. Yeah, that one's a complete Queen rip-off, but that style could've spiced that album up quite a notch.

With no particular order :

- Nothing
- Walk like a man
- You can't lose at love
- Temptation (it's my life single b-side, not the boxset version)
- Starting all over again (KTF version, not the boxset one)
- River runs dry

I would’ve LOVED to have more songs like Put The Boy Back In Cowboy. That song is so fun, it’s like a country-fied Dirty Little Secret to me.

Off the top of my head, no particular order:

Good Guys
Edge of a broken heart
Luv can
I will drive you home
We can dance
Wedding day
Stay
Fields of fire
Save a prayer
Now and forever
Garageland
Cadillac man
Radio
Open all night
Nothing

Position #22 :)

Okay, this one I heard in Yovana's IG back in the day :P but I never found the full version

I don't know who is Yovana

Excluding bonus tracks, this is my list! Though I would 100% add Stay and Radio.

1. Edge of a Broken Heart
2. Good Guys Don't Always Wear White
3. Borderline
4. Stay
5. Love Is War
6. Radio Saved My Life Tonight

Honourable mentions to Temptation, Outlaws of Love, Nothing and

Cadillac Man (1990 live demo version)
Forever Mine (1990 demo verison)
Pain Where There Once Was A Heart (1997 studio demo)
Take Me On (On The Line OST)
All That Really Matters (1996 Studio Track Incl. Bon Jovi Band on Background)
Stay (Demo Version)

God DAMN that sounds cool.

If you've you heard the snippet from the new album, does it differ much from the original?

As I said I'll have to take a listen on tapes. Still I cannot find anything with that name!!

I have this one in front of me: https://ibb.co/2dvqZW4

Hope it make any sence

Someone tell JBJ he can rake in even more money if he utilises the huge back catalogue of recordings they have in the vault...could use the profits to buy a vinyard...

Shame there's no real need to record 25 tracks for an album anymore, unless you count the songs they put on the end of the deluxe version.

Miss Fourth of July, Lonely at the Top, Nothing, Dirty Little Secret, Unbreakable
