Accuses Bon Jovi of ‘standing with Israeli oppression’
In an op-ed for Salon, Waters accuses Bon Jovi and his band mates of standing “shoulder to shoulder” with Israel before listing many of the casualties suffered by the Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli government.
I won’t waste my time drawing parallels with Apartheid South Africa and the moral stand that so many artists took then and that thousands are taking now in the face of decades of Israeli oppression of Palestinians. So the die is cast, you are determined to proceed with your gig in Tel Aviv on October 3. You are making your stand. You stand shoulder to shoulder
With the settler who burned the baby
With the bulldozer driver who crushed Rachel Corrie
With the soldier who shot the soccer player’s feet to bits…The dead can’t remind you of the crimes you’ve ignored. But, lest we forget, “To stand by silent and indifferent is the greatest crime of all.”

What About Now
The band releases their song, What About Now, from the album with the same name. Bon Jovi:
It has a strong social overview. We were heading into the end of [President Barack] Obama’s first term, and America was in recovery but still teetering. Europe was teetering, too; austerity plans were or weren’t going to take effect. So it’s sort of a snapshot of that period, though I hope it will also be timeless.

We Weren’t Born To Follow
The band releases, We Weren’t Born To Follow, from the album, The Circle. Sambora:
When I recorded the solo to that song, I played a very melodic, kind of Beatles-esque break. That was the mood I was in. As soon as the song got leaked to radio, people went crazy, sending e-mails and Twittering and everything: ‘We love the song, but what’s with that solo? We want a rippin’, burnin’ Richie Sambora solo. So I said to Jon, ‘Hey, do you want me to change it? We got time. And John was like, ‘Sure. Go lay down another solo and we’ll drop it in the song on the album.’ So that’s what I did.
