Understand where I am trying to go with this? Just one point of many that can be presented.

Thanks!

Understood, and agree completely. Obviously the less played songs on the older albums would be considered much more rare than the newer ones. But the point I was trying make when I made this thread was which songs are rare now, and at the same time were rare when they were first released. Just because a song isnt on the list in the opening post of this thread, doesn't mean it's not rare. Take I Believe for example. Played just 3/4 times this decade, so it would be considered rare. But when it was released during the KTF tour, it was played at over 50% of the shows.

If that makes sense? lol

My aim of this thread is to see which songs have been playd the least over the band's entire career. Perhaps I could have chosen a better thread title haha.

There are obviously going to be numerous opinions on what is considered a "rare" song and what isn't.. What I want to bring up is the rarity of a song off of an album like "The Circle," let's choose "Learn To Love;" now the album is only about a year-and-a-half old, and the boys have been touring since "The Circle" came out, however placing into perspective the fact that irregardless, the album hasn't been out that long; there are other songs from WAY older albums that haven't been played much, or at all...

Let's now choose the song "Stick To Your Guns" from "New Jersey." We're talking over 20-years since this album was released and the song has only been played what, a couple of times? I love this song; I would obviously consider it a rarity.. Even more of a a rarity over "Learn To Love," which hasn't even been played at all.

Understand where I am trying to go with this? Just one point of many that can be presented.

Do you define a rarity as a song that either A.) hasn't ever been played regardless of how long it's been out? B.) a song that hasn't been played much (a few times), if at all on a Jovi album over five-years old? Or a certain length of your choosing? C.) .... Your definition.

I look forward to seeing what others have to bring to the table in terms of their definition of a "rarity."

Thanks!

interesting thoughts .. I cannot stand learn to love though imo it is cheap but peace ..I respect that you love that one

to me a rarity is GREAT If it is a good song that is almost never played or never played
It has to be a great underrated song too to make me happy to get it ....save the world would not make me happy ....

Love Save The World and would be over the moon to hear it live...but yes, I know I'm in the minority!! I know the song is cheezy but I've always been drawn to it since I first heard it.

but Deb I love you (!) and if I was with you at that show I am sure I would be HAPPY too ... as your optimism is very contagious ...
I know for example many fans love miss fouth of july this song does absolutely nothing to me so for me it is just a not played often song NOT a rarity ... the rarity factor includes for me the fact I am happy to get a song not played often because I love it ..if the song is one I don't like much I won't qualify it as rarity but as not played often (rarity has to also define quality song)

Thank you for the compliment! :) Yes, I would love to hear "Learn to Love." I love the "Halle, halle" parts of the song. It is definitely one of my favorite songs off of "The Circle," along with "Brokenpromiseland."

And your point in that a rarity is great if it is a good song that is almost never played is more than prominent enough in that there will probably be many people that either feel a rarity is exactly that (your opinion) or your opinion, added with the "insert year-length here" factor.

Should be interesting to read future posts pertaining to this thread's message.

I too am a fan of Save the World and Learn to Love... just putting it out there lol. As for Miss Fourth of July, for me it is one of my least favourite Bon Jovi songs... definately bottom 10.

Interesting way of seeing things Mimi. If I were to get a rare song on the list that I hate, say She's a Mystery, I would enjoy it in that moment because I know it is so rare. I probably wouldnt get fully into it, but id soak it up anyway simply for its rarity.

The thing is, we all have our own definitions of what really constitutes rare when it comes to this band.

exactly - but brian, just because they forgot to add the last 18 "Its Alright"'s and only played the first 3,694 "It's Alright"'s during WSYCGO one night in Australia doesnt make it a rarity...

cmon man...lets be serious here...go raise your hands.....

ps
cmon man ... laugh ONCE at at reference i make just for you - i work very hard on them my friend! :)

A rarity is something that is not common. So any song they haven't played often is a rarity. Well, at least for me.

It is true , though when people make a mix between the rare factor and the gem song factor it may then turns out slightly different
