Fingerprints is also very nice. I personally loved We Don't Run from that album. Could be easily a lead single in any other album in 2000s/2010s

Agree.
We Dont Run
Sat Night
Who would you die for
Teardrop
Im your Man (not my fav by any means)

are wasted on a throw away album.

Since someone had mentioned Shanks emulating Bobby's guitar style on Teardrop... I'm not too sure that it isn't actually Bobby playing on that track. Jon and he didn't fall out until early summer of 2015 and by then the track had most likely been recorded.

I think teardrop has an amazing guitar solo and totally original. BB shows us that John can create some great guitar work in the studio, contrasting with his average at best live playing,...doubt it was Bobby

Oh yeah, Shanks has definitely done at least one thing right.

I personally love Shanks. I met him multiple times and he told me that Jon let him run with that song.

You're definitely in the minority on here with that opinion...

But that's quite interesting, and pretty much confirms what some here have said, in that Shanks just does what Jon asks of him and can't be completely blamed for the sterile sound of the last few records. It sounds as if Jon doesn't let him run with it that often....and if he did we might get more gems like Teardrops...

It's almost as if Jon didn't give a shit about BB, as it was just so he could get out of the record contract and let Shanks loose a bit. And as a result we got of of the best BJ songs in the last 10 years at least...

From the 10 minute conversation I had with him he seemed very proud of BB. It was before the IHeartradio theater show. I didn’t have a ticket but ended up getting in anyway thanks to the awesome crew.

I’m actually a fan of everything that shanks produced and funny enough I like the new Bon Jovi stuff over the old stuff.
