1985
 

Right, so I want to start writing a review of 7800 Fahrenhiet pretty soon, just wondering if anyone has any interviews from the period around its release, or just before? Also, does anyone know if the guys were going through difficulties around that time ... relationship issues etc? Was it prior to 7800 coming out that Jon and Dorothea split?

Thanks for the help

to get you started here are 2 interviews:
the first is during the 7800 tour



This is already promoting SWW, but they mention a few things about 7800


8)

if you ever catch a bon jovi day on VH1 there are 2 pieces (one is ultimate albums about sww but it has stuff about 7800)
and another one- that I don't remember the name right now

they split before 7800 was written

here's a short clip

Tico: we all had girl problems, it was a very depreesing recrod
Doc: "you read the lyrics and you want to cry"

Thanks :) That's what I thought, just needed verification. The first two links have been removed though :(

Interesting that the first BJ songs credited solely to JBJ were written when he went through hard times... also see KTF, which has a lot of JBJ songs (also due to the fact that he had written a lot of them in advance, though)
