What About Now

Single Release0 Comments

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

Single Release0 Comments

The band releasesWe 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.

Who Says You Can’t Go Home

Single Release0 Comments

The band releasesWho Says You Can’t Go Home, from the album, Have A Nice Day. Bon Jovi is not pleased when Palin uses the song  at some of her campaign stops in middle America.

We wrote this song as a thank you to those who have supported us over the past 25 years. The song has since become a banner for our home state of New Jersey and the de facto theme song for our partnerships around the country to build homes and rebuild communities. Although we have not asked, we do not approve of their use of Home.
