Default Interesting Fact
I was reading an old article released at the time of Crossroad that Keep the Faith was supposed to be a double cd. The reason why the plan didn't succeed was that it nearly killed them. I knew that New Jersey was to be a double but was knocked back, but to hear the Keep The Faith was to be a double cd is very interesting.

Did you all know this?

I think they're confusing it with NJ. There wasn't any talk at the time of KTF being a double CD. Bon Jovi had blipped off the radar in 1991, dance and country were popular, and people didn't think that KTF would make an impact, much less KTF as a double CD which would cost more.

Tico said that they had planned to write 40 songs for KTF but it nearly killed them. Someday I'll... was intended for KTF but was used on Crosssroad instead. The idea for the double album for New Jersay was knocked back due to the record company and for KTF was dropped by BJ themselves.

I agree with Becky, the "nearly killed them" quote was definately from the NJ era not KTF.

No, that's definitely not true. Someday... (along with Always) was planned to be on These Days but they liked them so much they put them out early on Crossroad.

Yep, but they didn't know it, it would change BJ forever and ever.
