I read somewhere (I think in Ultimate-guitar.com) that labels are now demanding a juicier cut of the touring revenue. That probably didn't sit too well with Jon nowadays....

Yes! It's all becoming clear now, and he clearly also said that "It's not about Richie"

The end of preview Who Would You Die For

guitar solo

I wanna know what makes you feel,
I wanna know love truly heals,
I wanna know what makes you feel...


BRAVO!

I could make peace with J. Shanks for this.

spot on...i LOVE burning bridges because of the meaning behind it...so ballsy, for me its only a dig towards the record company

Here is an Edit I made of Burning Bridges... I just mixed the 2 samples together, repeated the chorus at the end, and looped the second verse.

I didn't put half the effort into it that I usually would but the song will be out in a week so why bother.

Just an extended version for those who think that that minute and a half goes too quick...

Enjoy!!!

I really think that Teardrop is about Richie. And I thinks it really is a great song. Real emotions, good lyrics... Reminds me of These Days somehow.

:D agreed!!!
their contract probably is the reaon why they release the next album in 2016 and not sooner


ps,thnx rdkopper apreciated

Here's what the label just tweeted. Is there message to the fans in it (gotta listen)?

Island Records ‏@IslandRecords 48 min

#TBT Watch "@BonJovi: Inside The Circle"- a series of interviews conducted with band in 2010, now on @Vevo. http://bit.ly/1KjzgOR

If BB is about Richie or the label then it must be a new song?

Has to be. Even mentioning 30 years puts it at last year or this.

I wonder if Rage of Angels will be a further blow to his record label. :D

Or maybe off WAN. I think they chose 2013 as their 30th anniversary, didn't they?

Even during the 2011 tour Jon would thank audiences for their support "for nearly 30 years".

It's too biting to be any older than for this release I think. If this was originally 8 songs and 2 got added I wonder if this was one of them.

Yeah, and WAN is the first BJ album (from 1984) that only have 2 singles. Maybe the label no effort in this album.

Which would make it more likely that it was written AFTER there was little promo on the previous release.

even if it's for the label, given the time of the release and being the first album without Richie, I think it's pretty clear who he's trying to aim actually.

And then of course he will appear in interviews saying "nah, Richie? Of course not... not about him... nope..."

everyone will understand it's about him. :neutral:

Remember, Shanks tweeted "all new songs" and Jon said SN... was 8/10 yo. Jon might have gone through older unfinished songs, chosen the ones that fitted his current mood & written a couple of brand new songs such as BB to give a final blow to the label. Just sayin'.

If it's about the label he can easily say it's the label, there's nothing to hide behind this time.

I wonder if some of these songs will be playing live.

I'm a bit confused. Have the band left the label or the record company? Or is that the same thing?

I've got no idea on this sort of thing, sorry. I'm a bit behind on all this. I've just been checking the album updates mainly and skimming through the rest.

So far some of us understand the song BB as Jon's resentment towards his record co/label for not renewing his contract.

Still trying to catch up!

Who Would You Die For

For just one look I'd crawl across the floor,
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

Will you write me lipstick letters
And miss me when I'm gone?
Wake up tangled in the sheets
Still aching for my arms?
The way you move it's almost holy
Hoping you don't know you're only
All I want is all of you and more
The big bad wolf is knockin' at your door,

Chorus
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?
I wanna know, your secrets and your sins,
I wanna feel, your breathing out and in
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

Guitar solo

I wanna know what makes you feel,
I wanna know love truly heals,
I wanna know what makes you feel...

I'm your man.....not yet?

I hate don't have an IPhone in these situations...:mad:

I guess not, which is odd. We had the two new ones by this time last week.

Fingerprints

I gave you my fringerprints,
Now just like you they're gone,
A man invisible,
I'll be him from now on,

Chorus
The last time that I saw them,
They were running through your hair,
You held (?) one between your lips and brought another there,
The last time that I saw them,
I haven't seen them since,
No matter who or what I touch, I leave no evidence
I gave you my fingerprints,

I said I'd give you every thing,
But who'd thought you'd take it all,
Does a promise really break,
If nobody sees it fall,
A heartbreak can't wash away,
The taste of your memory,
Don't know what I would do,
If you should stop haunting me,

Chorus
The last time that I saw them,
They were running through your hair

Who Would You Did For has an 80s vibe to it and Jon's vocals don't sound current, in the chorus expecially. I'm curious to see who wrote this one...

This could be one from the vault that got reworked.

My first thought when I read the title was it's a song about the homeless. We'll see.

I have Im your man here .... Its a little lame , but ok ...... As for the new longer snippets , i freakin love Who would you die for !!!! Wow ! Jons voice ! Screeching !

Cool, thanks!

Superbrad, any chance you could post 'I'm Your Man' up please?

Matt has said 'Burning Bridges' is not about Richie but a final ciao to the label.

Burning Bridges is brilliant. Can not believe how its not a single.
People like catchy songs like that.

Thats why i have come to the conclusion that Jon needs to be sacked.

Where did you see that?

Just seen this on twitter.
