Four Dozen Rarities Highlight Bon Jovi Box

"I Get a Rush," "Miss Fourth of July" and "Garageland" are a few of the previously unreleased cuts which will highlight the forthcoming five-disc box set "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong." Due Nov. 16 via Island, the set will feature 38 recordings that have never seen the light of day, 12 rare non-album tracks and a DVD of previously unseen interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.

The songs on the box cover 1985 to 2003 and include dozens of leftover tracks from recording sessions for Bon Jovi albums. Other songs set for inclusion are "Why Aren't You Dead?," "The Radio Saved My Life Tonight," "Outlaws of Love," "We Rule the Night" and "Rich Man Living in a Poor Man's House," which Jon Bon Jovi wrote with former Eurythmics principal Dave Stewart.

Re: Very interesting article from Billboard
 

great, looks like a lot from the KTF era,
oohh and:

:? :?

Okay. Maybe my math is off but this is what I got. The majority of the tracks:

10 come from 1992. 11 come from 1994, and 10 come from 1999.

hmmm. I assume the ones from 99 are crush demos, and the '94 ones are These Days demos, but what of the 92 ones? Wouldn't Keep the Faith demos be for 1991? Actually, scratch that, Starting all over again is listed as '92. Answered my own question.

So few 80s???

Question:
Billboard.com is mentionning the box set news and they added there the ERA of each of the 50 songs ... sorry to sound suspicious about informations not provided by you first .... so ... is it reliable ? thank you

Answer:
Stay suspicous - it's not correct info. Don't bet your house on that info.

Re: Very interesting article from Billboard
 

i dont know if i laugh or cry :roll: i was expecting something else...

hmm.. I really hope there are a lot more 80's songs on there than that info tells us... Sure Im not THAT fussed on the era of the songs providing they are good tracks, but there must be so many great Slippery and Jersey demos they could use.. To not include any of those doesn't make sense...

Im hoping that someone made most of those dates up!

missing songs
 

what interests me is that there are so few songs from the 80's and yet there must be plenty of songs left over because I have a demo tape of the 'Slippery' sessions with lots of unused songs and then theres the 'New Jersey' double album songs that were left behind.

I was really hoping for some polished up versions of stuff like 'Now and Forever' and 'Rosie' - there are about 8-10 songs that were left of the 'Jersey' album - why are they not included?

Can't complain about tracklisting though - lots more stuff than I would have though, just would have been the icing on the cake to include the 'Jersey' songs.

Maybe they feel that most of us would have them already?
