Jovitalk - Bon Jovi Fan Community - New Bon Jovi Album: This House Is Not For Sale (2016)

Your correct, Mercury records did indeed exist in the US. I am so guessing here but I think it went away after the These Days record, so late 90's or so. If you recall, that was one of the reasons given for the big gap between These Days and Crush.

Solo projects was the reason for the gap.

True but I do remember (unless my memory has really gotten bad) that Jon had said the delay was due to the change at Mercury and the death of Bruce Fairbairn so how delayed who knows. :)

Yeah from what I recall it was the day Jon got home from filming U571 when he call the call about Bruce so that would put that delay at....around 98/99 I guess?

Yes, thanks Matt. Bruce, died the middle of 1999 if, again, memory serves.

Thanks!

And the amount of material they had slowed things down too. The batch Jon brought and the batch Jon wrote with Richie. It's naive to say it was just the solo projects that delayed everything is what I'm saying.

I think I remember Jon saying they sat on the album for a while during the change to figure out where the band fit in with the whole label buyout change. That could just be pr talk for negotiating until we had the label's full support for promo. Memory is a bit bad lately but it sounds likely....

Interesting. I'm not sure how complete it was. I know when they did the album launch for press at Jon's house It's My Life was only just recorded and Say it isn't so had alternate lyrics. I guess It's possible an early version was completed and then tinkered with up until release.
