Default Hypothetically speaking, how would you answer...

If Bon Jovi did a survey asking which songs you wanted to hear live from each CD and the very last question was a fill in the blank: What is your favorite Bon Jovi song ever?

Would you put your actual favorite song even if you thought there was no chance of it being played, or would you pick one that might actually make a set list?

I have many favorites, so it would be hard to pick one anyway. But I’m pretty sure one like Satellite, Mystery Train, or Walk Like a Man would never get played. So a better tactic might be picking Wild is the Wind or I Will Drive You Home.

Just something to think about while there is nothing much going on.

My all-time favorite song changes from time to time, but for the last few years, it's been Blood on Blood. I heard it twice out of four shows on the last leg of this tour, so it was always a possibility; it's such a rush when when I hear the opening few bars!

For me it's always Always. I heard it once in my three Bon Jovi shows (Vienna 2011, 2nd encore) and I will never forget that moment. It will be my no. 1 song forever.

Dry County has always escaped me, so that would be the pick for my 'debut'. But only if Richie's there. If not, then I'd opt for something off DA, because it would actually have a shot at sounding decent with Jon's current voice.

If I had to pick ANY song that has never been played live, then it'd be Bitter Wine.

I'd like to hear Bitter Wine, too. It would be interesting to hear which lyrics Jon would sing.

For me, it would depend on the lineup. With the current line-up, I'd probably choose Fingerprints to fill in the blank, WWYDF from BB, and Come On Up to Our House from THINFS. I'd skip the previous albums altogether unless the list of CDs included the box set and demos/b-sides. If that were the case, I might request Maybe Someday from the box set and Stay from Crush. I'd love to hear both of those songs live.

My favorite song is Wanted, but they play it everynight >_< jajaj

I would like to hear Love Hurts or My guitar lies bleeding in my arms or Thorn In My Side
I would like a combo: acoustic Ride Cowboy Ride + electric Stick to your guns
acoustically A Teardrop To The Sea or The Fire Inside
and even that cover It's Only Make Believe
OF COURSE Como yo nadie te ha amado and I could go on and on... jaja

I would probably request Bells of Freedom. Beside being one of my all-time favorite BJ songs, It works quite well live (at least based on the YT videos I've watched of it), isn't impossible to sing (Jon did it pretty well at a solo show in '15), and at least some people might know it due to HAND being the second-best-selling post-00 album.


Although if I could request anything, it would probably be Satellite or These Open Arms.

I'd put These Days. It does fit both your criteria... it's got a shot at making the setlist and it's my favorite Bon Jovi song (or at least top 3).

I've seen Bon Jovi 7 times (in Europe) but never got to hear These Days. Somehow they always seems to play it at the show after or the show before mine. Still, I've gotten some gems like This Ain't a Love Song, Undivided, Damned, Diamond Ring, Wild Is the Wind, Dry County and so on so I can't complain. But one day (hopefully with Richie back) I'd like to hear These Days.
