Can Bounce be saved????
 

Bounce is not doing good in any part of the world. Which is VERY SAD. cause when "these days" was doing bad in USA it was still selling great in UK, Japan and many other countries. which is not that bad..cause atleast they were selling albums. But now....nowhere. Before Bounce was released they did NFL things etc. which not many bands get to do. Band choosed wrong songs for singles.so radio did not like any Bounce song. Tour is doing good. They can still sell out everyshow. But so can Cher and Aerosmith. May be with this album Bon Jovi have become one of those band who sell concerts but not albums. I dont know where i am going with this. But it just break my heart to see my fav band going that way. I know nothing lives forever..band has sold enough albums. But still I believe they can do more than that...they can still make great music.


I just hope that band release "The Distance" as a next single. May be AALY will do good in UK etc.

What you guys think...? What should band do to save Bounce falling from charts?????

I think its good that bounce hasn't sold in huge large quanties. bon jovi should try to become a more classic rock band, which they don't are today, and the only way for bon jovi to become a classic rock band is to sell bad, because then the will change (hoppfully to the better...). I don't want bon jovi to write songs like everyday (its good but not great...), I would like them to write masterpieces such as my guitar, these days, wild is the wind, keep the faith,Undivied (really good song...) and so on. if they only skipped those radio songs, they would be great! ok, they won't sell that much, but very few rockgroups sell good after 20 years.

3,25 million records isn't bad, the most artist would love to sell in those amounts. crush sold good because of it's my life, from bounce bon jovi hasn't released song like that (there is a few on the album...) and thats way they don't sell.

Stones, bruce and all those artist sells because they are huge, bon jovi isn't that huge, they need a radio hit to sell, and this time they hasn't released a big radio hit.

I don't propose that bon jovi should go back to be a "small" rock band as they was in the beginnings of the 80', i just say that they don't have to sell 10 million copies of an album, they don't have to be all over the VH1 and they don't have to be on the Mtv top 40.

By the way OWN didn't sell so good (its i live album I know...)

Rock on Erik!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I do!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's becase it's a rubish live album..... I'm thinking if they released something like Giants 89 it would sell!

thanks mike!
I would also like bon jovi to do smaller concerts and bigger tours, as they did back in the 80', but i think that is a bit to much to ask for!
i don't think that OWN is a "rubbish" album, i like most of the songs on it! especially Something to belive in. but i do agree with you Giant stadium from 89 would have been better!

i think something happenb between crush and bounce, crush had all these guitar solos and stuff. where as much as i like bounce it is still missing a little classic bon jovi

yes, somebody drove a airplane right in to WTC and jon/richie decided to write songs about this...

All those guitar solo's on Crush??????? There was next 100 years, but that was the guitar solo for the album, the rest were guitar break/chords at best!

yeah the next 100 years, what song on bounce has a solo like next 100 years, even one wild night(on crush) and just older had good solos!

the two best tracks on crush, the rest are rubbish!

darn straight.....

Although there is no solo on One Wild Night, it's just a break, the is basically Richie using a slide between about three notes, I could play that! Just Older I remember as a little better (in the backgroud?) but still not a richie solo!
