How do people think it compares to Richie's Every Road? I didn't quite think to make this comparison until this morning, and I know we're talking solo output versus band output, but even so. I prefer Every Road, though I think BWC has a better shot at radio. Of course if Every Road were by an up and coming artist, not the guitarist from BJ, i'm sure it would have gotten more exposure.

John Shanks is killing this band with his production. Compare this rubbish to something off the Keep the Faith album. Is it really the same band?! |

Too many people try to say they love it because of this or that and it matches up to the best of their back catalogue but you are honest enough to say you like it because it makes you stamp your feet, clap your hands and you'll take that from your band. Seriously good point, well made. |

Hello,
Can anyone direct me (or send me a pm) where to listen to the song please? I have read a few pages back but can't see anything. Thanks!!! |

Upon reflection, this is my biggest problem with BWC; it sounds so rushed. Like Jon sang over a drum machine, the horrible guitar overdubs; I have a feeling that since BOUNCE the band haven't recorded a single demo together, like they used to. All of them in the studio, playing live. If they had, I bet the BWC demo would sound much better than the finished product. I just don't think Shank Stain works that way. |

Here is the iTumes Apple chart from around the world and it's selling. It's either one or two. In the US it's at number 1 and in Australia 1. If Bowie hadn't released his song, it would have been number 1 in all countries, I think.

I honestly would rather this song got nowhere near the charts because I don't want people to know that this is the work of Bon Jovi.
I gave it another listen. It just leaves me with a sour taste. |

I listened to the song a few times today and got to say it is catchy! I hope it does well at radio.
I will be interested to see what other songs they release before the album comes out! I expect the others will be quite different to this and appeal to different people. I think because you can is a fun song and had it just been an album track and not the first single maybe more people would enjoy it (in the context of an album), not comparing the two songs but kind of how 99 in the shade is for New Jersey! If that makes sense? But in my opinion I don't think it's a bad song, it's upbeat and different to what I expected, I will be interested to hear the other songs once released. |

Jon is not in the same league as Bono. |

U2 always appealed to the serious critics - comes with the background of where they come from - they were always going to get more credibility even when they release dumb stuff like that song about the boots. I think one of the things I like about Because We Can is it isn't trying to be cool...or fakely serious or so many of the other things Bon Jovi have tried to be at times. Strip away the poppy production and it's unashamedly a big, loud Bon Jovi song. |

I think any lyric Jon has written is better than that. |

All this means is that Bon Jovi has a shit load of fans and has nothing to do with the song itself. It could take 3 to 6 months before this song hits heavy rotation and that's when we'll find out if it's successful or not! |

Jon has written lines miles worse than that one from Bono. Different league lyrics-wise. Just deal with it. |

U2 on their day are pretty unstoppable. They're a pretty mediocre bunch of musicians but they wrote classic poignant songs about political struggle and pushed themselves beyond a place they ever should have got.
They have done some awful stuff but they haven't quite gone down the Bon Jovi route of pumping out albums and tours "because they can" |
I hope no one here thinks I'm saying Bon Jovi is better or (LOL) has done more recently. I'm just saying basically I think they're recent stuff ranges from boring to lame, and I know a lot of people agree. On the other hand, I might just feel Bono is an insufferable organic mass.

BWC is a great song. I'm digging it more and more each listen. It just went from a 7 to an 8.
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean. I am a rock not just another grain of sand...... love it. Look at eminem. I'm not too familiar with his music but I know his corner Slim Shady songs killed the radio charts but his albums tracks were more serious rap. Point In Case People. If you believe in we, we can!!!!!! |
The song is decent. That moving mountains bit is pretty cringeworthy, though, just because of its cliche factor.

Bon Jovi 2013 is Awesome! Those are my words and I'm sticking with it. All you haters should just leave! |
I wouldn't necessarily say awesome, but I definitely am very interested to hear the rest of the album.

In any event, even Eminem's corny tracks are at times brilliant lyrically (Square Dance, My Name is, etc). It's rap, you can be corny as hell and still have a good song on your hands as long as the verbal gymnastics are there. The idea that you can use Eminem here as a comparison for Jon Bon in any way is preposterous. EDIT Of course you admitted you aren't even familiar with his music, so why it's being used as the crux of your... argument... is beyond me. |

It's very difficult yo have discussions without the album |
I like several U2 songs, but i've always held and still believe that they're very overrated.

Yeah there are only two things I don't like about Because We Can...
1. The solo 2. "move a mountain / believe in we" lyrics. The rest I find very enjoyable. Whether you love or hate it, it's got to be one of the catchiest choruses by the band. |
I love the first verse.
