- - 2020: The New Album (https://drycounty.com/jovitalk/showthread.php?t=70436)

I feel like this album took on the same fate as Have A Nice Day for different reasons..

A handful of songs were reworked, rewritten, or replaced. I'd love to get a leak of the original album as it was intended to be released back in May.

Is anyone keeping track of all the differences?

Beautiful Drug was a complete song, then pulled back and rewritten.

I know there were others too.

I THINK Lower the Flag was mentioned too but I'd need to find the quote. The bridge was clearly recorded on a different day so I'd imagine it's that.

Normally I'd say he's full of it but he also revealed he knew everyone hated Because We Can so there's something there!

He said that? Who was he referring to by everyone?

Jon said "the entire lyric in Beautiful Drug or Brothers In Arms was tweaked... for me to be satisfied."
He was specific about Beautiful Drug:
"It had a completely different verse."
"as the record took shape between March and June with the re-recording and the additional songs I rewrote the lyrics and I thought that it would be much more fitting of the rest of the material on the record, if they were all topical, and so in this moment in time while we are in fact looking for a vaccine, my substitution was love and I thought in that lyric, that was just one little page in this big book called 2020, but the lyric then was more specific and it's still rocked, so that's what happened but that song was finished, done..., ready for release and then I pulled it back and we rewrote it."

Funny that he would open the song with "Tear down your mask" in times like these when enough people refuse to wear masks. I know it's got a different meaning, but still...

Anyone got the feedback yet from Bon Jovi UK when the Vinyl would be shipped?
I still got nothing after the initial purchase confirmation.

I'm interested in how it did compared to other recent album releases. I presume any low sales by any new album, the record companies will blame it on Covid :mad:
