It's not big deal to have JBJ's face on the cover of the first 2 albums. -_-

Happy Birthday Rich!

Agree! So underrated!!!

Since I like playing lyrics quizzes and find them most of the time too easy for us diehards, I made a (hopefully) quite difficult one. It includes some Jon and Richie solo tracks as well.

Enjoy!!!

How do you skip one if you have no clue?

james_d 07-25-2018 08:13 PM

You don't have to do it in order

It won't let me skip. I tried typing the wrong answer and I tried clicking on the next box. I'll try it on my computer. Maybe it's because I was on my phone.

But thanks, anyway!

Holy hell that was fun. I gave up after 8 minutes, there were just five or six I couldnt get. Always Run to You, Dying aint much of a living, I want to be loved and Fear stumped me. I'm ashamed.

james_d 07-25-2018 09:51 PM

I did it on my phone and I could just type the answers of the ones I knew (which was about half lol). Was a really fun quiz though I enjoyed it.

As someone said, you don't have to click onto a specific gap. If you type in a song title that's one of the 46 answers it will automatically fill it in.
For example, if you're stuck with number 3 and see that you know gap number 8, you can just type that answer and it will appear there.

james_d 07-25-2018 09:55 PM

And here's me happy with just over half

It worked on my computer, just not on my phone. That was a LOT of fun!! And you're right, it was challenging.

Ashamed, hell! You're my hero. I only got 46% and I'm the one who's always yapping about the lyrics!! :roll: :oops:

Captain Walrus 07-26-2018 09:28 PM

Enjoyed that! I got 37 right :p

bonjovi90 07-27-2018 12:48 AM

I'll happily add another one, if people want to stay in the groove :mrgreen:
Was quite fun doing it since I listened to songs I hadn't heard in ages.

What are you waiting for?? Get crackin'!! :p :D

(I'm getting older minute by minute. My memory's not getting any better, y'know!)

liljovi93 07-27-2018 09:39 AM

That quiz was boss.

I had the way JBJ sings the lines in my head and for some reason, couldn't get some still. I got 24 I think. I didn't even realize Richie songs were included to be honest but that's my mistake for not reading properly.

Definitely do more if you can.

Damn man, I'm disappointed with myself. I only got 13.

Captain Walrus 07-30-2018 09:14 PM

I just done this and got 70/76. 5 of the ones I missed are from the early albums. I really need to listen to them more.

The other one was so obvious.

Mine's just learning to spell and punctuate!! I dont know how to spell Novocaine apparently and the danged parentheses got me on this one, too. On one of my very favorite songs!!

I just did the one with 76 questions and only got 60 correct. But man, that was fun! :)

Going back to try the others...

rolo_tomachi 08-04-2018 08:55 PM

I wonder, is (Jon) Bon Jovi doing something now? Maybe he's writing and has recording plans? Or maybe he's recording in secret like on other occasions? If so, would there be a new single for the next tour? maybe a new album with strong promotion in Europe?

Thoughts.

nikos greece 08-10-2018 12:40 PM

i ve recently listened to a radio interview from john shanks, 2h 45 min long...it wasnt so interesting to begin with...i dont know why i did it, anyway here are a few thoughts...
1. shanks said somewhere in the interview he is recording right now with the band, he didnt specify if its a "demo" session, a couple songs or material for a full album..

2. to be honest i never really liked the guy, didnt know exactly why but i think i got it now... he is obviously an accomplished producer, a good guitarist and has helped jon be prolific...on the other hand he seems not willing to push for sth extra he just produces mostly safe guitar driven pop potential radio hits.

3. the guy knows his guitars and effects...its obvious he has invested time and thought to really master guitar equipment. his playing has sth, to be fair his fret work in a teardrop to the sea and we dont run impressed me. what bugs me with the guy is that i get the impression he is too self indulgent..me me me...its he and jon, he talks about stats etc but he gives me the impression he approaches instrumentation quite lighlty, the terms he uses u2 ish coldplayish, when u re mass producting quality is gonna suffer...
Richie may have lost some of his spark and mojo but the guy even if he wasnt a guitar inovator had a unique voice who connected with people, for a guy who made 6 albums with bj he should realise and highlight it...
i dont live in a bubble and i realise richie may had become a pain in the ass even though you have to respect a bands legacy and push them forward...

imo this is where shanks falls short, he thinks he can replace Richie, he thinks his job is to accomodate jon...and partly thats true but the declining outcome of the bands releases prove sth has to change...thinfs was decent but the truth is i dont listen to it..the acoustic demo of thinfs from the co writer i ve listened repeatedly..

bj managed to extend their peak for many years and gave us many many memories, now i think its time to really think the legacy and choose appropriately the next projects

DryCounty 08-15-2018 03:37 PM

Is there anyone who was smart enough to save the "download only" tracks from the Special Editions 2010? I'm especially interested in Two Story Town, Everyday and I Want To Be Loved but I have no idea how to get a hold of them now. Would be very appreciated if someone wnated to share! :)

Late to the party, but 83/91. And 6/8 wrong ones stem from the first two, which I never really listened to much. So, my memory's still working ;-) That was fun! :-)

And damnit, 72/76 on the other one. Missed Get Ready, In And Out Of Love, Come Back and I'm with You. Just couldn't remember the last one :-(

I managed 22 but several of them were just educated guesses. Probably the hardest yet.

Can someone please confirm the year? Looks like a soundcheck
