Reaching so many millions

before the box set...

I like Bounce & Crush as well

Winston · 02 Oct 2004, 00:03

Crush and Bounce are really bad albums. Crush is ok to listen to a few times, but Bounce, is just a carbon copy of Crush. Just like the 2 tours.

I have all of Richie's stuff and all of Bon Jovi...

Biter · 02 Oct 2004, 22:32

I also have all of their stuff (including David Bryan's solo stuff) and I love everything they have done. Slippery when wet and Crush are the soundtrack to my life!

Ok...plug time. If you want to see a load of Bon Jovi Videos and news and stuff go to www.islandrecords.com/bonjovi/home.las
Brilliant site.

I tend to see Bon Jovi as having 4 eras: the early albums (Bon Jovi & 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit), the breakthrough albums (Slippery When Wet & New Jersey), the more mature albums (Keep The Faith & These Days) and finally the recent albums (Crush & Bounce). The early albums suffered from weaker songwriting (as you might expect) and the most recent albums seem overly commercial (although Bon Jovi have always been commercial to some extent) and sound tired. Bon Jovi are in danger of becoming lazy, as Bryan Adams has, and simply releasing albums composed of too many weak ballads. Although I can't say that This Left Feels Right is a successful re-working of the hits (taking great songs and making them boring), producing it did show a certain degree of courage and reluctance to simply rest on their laurels.

As things stand, however, I would have to say that I would be more excited about a new Richie Sambora album being released than a new Bon Jovi album.

I know some songs by Richie! Ballad Of Youth is really great! My fav Bon Jovi album is These Days but the best song is Dry County. TLFR, Crush and Bounce are horrible!!!

Winston · 03 Oct 2004, 22:47

These Days is their best album. They lost the plot after that though.

Welsh Rocker · 03 Oct 2004, 22:57

I thought Lunar Eclipse by David Bryan was a load of rubbish!

It's just a re release of On A Full Moon with a few extra songs.
