Oh, his "flying to the sky" or "touching the sky" ... How many times has this crazy person Jon (I was a mega fan in the past...) had that in his lyrics? ...A hundred times? Or more? ...
Astonishingly ,i find it acceptable to my ears and fit for my car's radio now and then, but totally agree, it is not the bonjovi before crush and these days in 1995. How and how far more ? Not willing to bash about shanks but true many fans are fed up with his recipe. As he doesnt leave much space for the creativity of the band members.
Of course the song is simple, but I think when played with a raw garage sound it can be really fun in all its simplicity. What destroys this song is this soft-spoken, harmless radio-pop sound. John Shanks is truly cruel. Bon Jovi is a rock band... and not the new kids on the block! On the other hand, it seems to be what JBJ really wants. He knows what he's getting from Shanks and he still always lets him work on the songs.
It sounds completely like a "weekly average hit for mainstream pop-rock radio".... Half a year from now, people (outside of rock fans) won't even have a clue that such a song ever existed...
They should all get together Jon, Richie , David , Tico , David and Hugh and try to produce something of the same nerve as the content of crossroads , like : Never say goodbye , Someday i'll be saturday night , ballads , and alternative rock songs , this was the bonjovi , i grew to love . Will they be able to do something of the same caliber again one day ? 🤔
I appreciate your thoughts and your time. But what I guess I want is for acts in their sixties and seventies to admit that they need to hang it up, or at least stop charging people over $200 a seat to hear them croak for a couple of hours at best. That didn't used to be too much to expect.
You are not going to get stuff from the 90s or 80s. The band puts out what Jon can do in his 60s. Hell he is not 20 anymore. Besides every album he puts out its like he understood what I am going through in my life.
About the song because we can , Ironically, the song's intent lyrically was to tell people to face adversity, but unfortunately , one band member could not , and then tico needed urgent surgery and then even david had to be replaced temporarily, it happened 🤔 and this New Song legendary maybe the Wo O Wo ah , is about sending the band in outer space like in the clip ,like they are surfing around the globe 🤔 ,the Wo o ah is about placing them back on the map, saying they are still here , lets not forget that Bonjovi's music & choruses gets us with hooks 🤔 . Yup , John Shanks has become a signature sound for BONJOVI . We would all prefer Bruce fairbain(rip), Bob rock , luke ebin, george karakoglou(Talking in your sleep BONGIOVI powerstation years ) or any other . The album that has the song because we can is the album i did not care to look for or buy. But am still curious to discover the other songs on this new album BONJOVI FOREVER .
My God, this is like Groundhog Day.... In terms of creativity, BJ delivered all they could do till early 2000's, after that, Jon parked in total comfort zone, continued delivering flat and repetitive albums and were touring like crazy till he ruined his voice. Richie jumped away on time knowing Jon's vocal issues would turn really bad. This is no longer Bon Jovi since 2010, it's only a retired Jon making effortless albums for fun and for their die hard fan base as if he played only for close friends and relatives that would praise him even if he singed polka. The other 95% have been paying to see him sing their big hits between the fillers, big bussiness after all.
This is what some.call a STUNNING TUNE , the wo ah thing is very very catchy stuff but maybe not as ear friendly as we like it but is a very STUNNING TUNE as the woah wo ah stays in your mind , and you dont remember the lyrics so well but you recall glimpses of the lyrics , maybe this song is a mise en bouche an entreee that we dont like and the other songs will be different 🤔 enfin , well, Am hoping so 😂😂😂
Typical shanks song where we skip out on a lead guitar riff for whoa whoa whoa then Verse Chorus Verse Chorus whoa whoa whoa whoa cut the music to only Dave build backup A Chorus and a whoa whoa whoa outro
It's well known Jon is writer of chanting stadium choruses but it's true with Sharks feels they do it too much. I am curious to hear the rest of the album. Phil X said he was happy guitars had a more upfront part in this album and I really hope it does.
If he meant enough four-chord guitar accompaniments, then "thank you very much"... :D But honestly - I was a rock fan of Bon Jovi from 2001 (I was 14 years old then) until 2013... The 2013 album was so disappointing (maybe with three exceptions - three songs) that I "switched" to Prince and his inexhaustible well of music... Of course I still adore Bon Jovi from 1986 to 2007, but I can't accept the decline of Jon... And honestly - I don't even listen to the new album. I can't stand his voice anymore... and those sh*t tunes already...
1:36 - 1:42 .... carve in stone :D .... Or : When Jon (I assume he's the composer at this time) has no ideas, it has to be filled with sterile choir "hum"... :D
their last good album was lost highway. in 07. and frankly outside of "i love this town", have a nice day wasnt that good either although way better than everything after lost highway. without richie collaborating he just sings springsteen fluffy woke songs. this is dentist office music. they should hang it up. this is woke music
Is it a strong outing ? Its okay. But he just cane off throat surgery and is 60. Hiw about you actually listen to it and give a proper run through vs stopping and crying every 10 seconds.
If I compare this sterile help, as if made with the help of artificial intelligence, with a song like "Stick To Your Guns" (which has SOUL, atmosphere, artistic and singing performance), it's like comparing a low-cost and old wrecked car with a new one S-class Mercedes.
Your response to the song was just perfect; been saying the very same thing for well over a decade now, unfortunately. There isn't a band on the planet that I equally love and hate as much as BJ. My hope is, and it's sad to say, that their next tour is a car crash, and they stop putting out such utter bull. Boring beyond belief
Well , i have given another try to this same song , it is now number 8 on the sales chart, if in your mind you make abstraction of the woah woah of the song , the song still has a good narrative , not an exceptionnal one but it is ok, i really did not like the song because we can , too bubble gum like , the album burning bridges was great in lyrical terms .🤔
@@HARDROCKreverieI have a suggestion for when you are finished with Skid row. Id like to see you review Tesla's five man Acoustical jam. I think its better than kiss mtv unplugged.
Dude, if you had any other expectations different than what modern day Jovi is then you need to just accept glory days BJ will never return. This is why I have lost all interest in the band
Well Dave as you might remember you turned me on to Bon Jovi post New Jersey and I found quite a bit to like. Even the Circle of which I remember wasn’t a favorite of yours. The 2020 album was where I couldn’t take this repetitive sound anymore. What is Phil X even there for? Whatever shit he’s playing they could have Jon play that boring repetitive nonsense. See now is that what you were trying not to say? 😁
Lol. Yes, that's about it. And I have to say, at this point, I'm glad I turned you onto some good BJ albums. But also glad I never said it would be ALL of them. Lol
I haven't heard the albums you're referencing so I can't really speak to the copying off themselves thing. The song does sound ok but it's certainly a generic, adult contemporary "rock" track. You should have been on camera for this one, I want to see how the hair's growing.
The drums in this song sound like the drums from some village pig-slaughtering celebration..... I don't know a worse rhythm... But the point was probably to make it sound "wild", but at the same time so that Tico at his age and condition he still managed...
The end of Bon Jovi was already in 2016 with the album "This House Is Not For Sale". However, some people didn't realize this and go to their concerts even though Jon sings worse than the better singer in their family...
The songs crap and the videos pure woke nonesense. Never say goodbye came on straight after I watched this and what ever this is, its not Bon Jovi. He needs Ritchie to make good music, this is now more obvious than ever. His solo album stuff aint great either. Midnight in Chelsea, sha la la la sha la la....🤢
Yes, Jon's "Destination Anywhere" album is about 10x worse than Richie's "Undiscovered Soul" album. On the other hand, I like Jon's first solo (Young Guns) more than Richie's "Stranger In This Town"... Mainly because of the sound. The sound in "SITT" sounds too "far away" and there is too much of the effect of some big hall... In addition, Jon performs an incredible vocal performance on his solo debut... Probably the best of all the albums...
He puts out music and doesnt care if you dont like it. Its not the 80s or 90s any more Keeping in mind he had to go through throat surgery. Keep crying
Oh, his "flying to the sky" or "touching the sky" ... How many times has this crazy person Jon (I was a mega fan in the past...) had that in his lyrics? ...A hundred times? Or more? ...
Just remember your music out there and you're ledgen....love it
There are a lot of bands that you know who they are by their songs sounding the same. Like kiss, AC/DC and queen
Astonishingly ,i find it acceptable to my ears and fit for my car's radio now and then, but totally agree, it is not the bonjovi before crush and these days in 1995. How and how far more ?

"Oh nooooooo'" was my reaction too
Dave, you speak for my soul

There are enough people who love the new song. Please respect that.
You probably also think Biden is doing a good job.
They should all get together Jon, Richie , David , Tico , David and Hugh and try to produce something of the same nerve as the content of crossroads , like : Never say goodbye , Someday i'll be saturday night , ballads , and alternative rock songs , this was the bonjovi , i grew to love .

I love your genuine reactions and reviews. I agree…same formula. “Big background bullish..” Hilarious.
He's 62.and throat surgery for his vocals....what do u want....I think the song is legendary from a great legend...😮😮😮😮

@@HARDROCKreverie Due to your comment am checking the album again, there are some good ballads 👍
@@whenrosesfadeaway Yes! Now, I will admit, it took me a good few listens to get to that place, but it's one of those albums that really grew on me.
Totally agree… I rather stick to In & out of love 🤘🏻😂

"wo ah" is the cancer of the music industry, especially the RADIO one for the last 5 years or so...

Best from "HAND" is (in my opinion) bonus track "Dirty Little Secret"... and "pop-country" Who Says......

Amazing reaction
Thanks for watching!
It sounds similar to BJ's "Life Is Beautiful" (from Burning Bridges) sh*t...
I love that song. I don't love this one.
Shanks is the boss. It's called blackmail 😂😂😂😂

I'D love one more collaboration with LUKE EBIN .🤔
YES!!!!! 👍

Like a lot of others I felt there wasn’t enough guitars, so I added more ruclips.net/video/Kx_gf5-yd78/видео.htmlsi=efQEOvF6oyuBuWQ9
Wait - Bon Jovi WITH guitar?! Crazy!
Nice job 👍
@@HARDROCKreverie I know right? Haha. Glad you enjoyed 👍
I think the sing was written about you and your channel because you are legendary.
But having heard the song I think you deserve better than that rubbish.

Jon needs to change it up and move on from John shanks. Same F’n thing
The drum is a little bit too loud in this song. The song is not so bad, bat nothing special.

Song just isnt good enough period
The end of Bon Jovi was already in 2016 with the album "This House Is Not For Sale". However, some people didn't realize this and go to their concerts even though Jon sings worse than the better singer in their family...
This song is such a disgrace! Jon becomes so corny and embarassing

Its not the 80s or 90s any more
Keeping in mind he had to go through throat surgery.
