i think i listen to it too much..... :P |
Memories it brings back to me:
Listening to it for the first time while playing Metroid Fusion on the Game Boy Advance, and later listening to it again while playing Metroid Prime on the GameCube Being immediatly struck by Onyl Lonely and To The Fire Discovering that I also love Price Of Love and Hardest Part Is The Night Watching all the promo videos from it which I had downloaded late at night last summer Hearing In & Out Of Love for the first time on One Wild Night Live, on a long car journey at night Rediscovering In & Out Of Love while at a party at my cousin's house Being blown away by parts of Silent Night ... not the whole song unfortunately Not too many memories for this one yet either, oh well :) Keep On Rockin' |
Released 39 years ago today....

7800 and These Days are the only two Bon Jovi records I consistently go back to and listen head to toe. I don't think it's Bon Jovi's best by any means, but the mood is there, it's dark, heavy and atmospheric. Overall, pretty much one of the best records to be released by anyone between 1981 and 1985, before Slippery When Wet came along and shook up the hard rock landscape. Hilarious that it's the same band.
Happy birthday 7800! |

For the first time since the 80’s, I listened to the album from start to finish today. (The only song I sometimes listen to is In&Out. )
What a forgotten gem. Of course, the production isn’t perfect. Some of the lyrics are a bit silly I guess. That said, I loved what I heard today. Raw distorted guitars, catchy melodies, Jon’s high pitched screams. Even songs I didn’t like too much back in the 80’s (KOTM, TTF) now sounded more or less like anthems. The biggest surprise for me was obviously ARTY. I guess I never realized it’s power back then. What a cool, ass kicking hard rock song. A band that would be on the top of the world the next year. It gives me the chills to think of that. It’s the same feeling I get watching the live video from Montreal 1986, Bon Jovi opening for Judas Priest. In a few weeks from that moment, they would be the heavy weight champions. Honestly, I had never really understood the album’s real power. I found the band in the SWW era (LOAP had just topped the charts) so it got sort of overshadowed by SWW for me. What a cool album. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
