Of course. The title says it all. That was then (some of the best songs only available as demos), this is now (a great song only available as bonus). But c'mon ''Living Proof'' does sound like what they did in the 80s.

This the bonus track that is on the Japanese version of the album. All albums released in Japan have a bonus track. It is a standard marketing thing for the Japanese market.
I really liked I wrote you a song. But I agree that this song should have definitely made the album. One of the best songs they’ve written since 2005 IMO. I would have replaced “My First Guitar” with this song
Good lyrics, pop music, but at the end coming a very good guitar solo. What was when we have wrote in 1986? Rock music. Now this is entertaining, but this is more better, than last albums.
They should've just had this song on the regular release... the album kind of has an empty spot without this song on it. It's a shame to deprive the general US public of this good song.
It's usual that Jon picks good songs for bonus tracks ... only him knows why. LOL. Something makes me think that Richie is part of making this album... Nostalgic songs. Check also tracks Nothing, Neurotica, Into the echo, All hail the king, and others
Richie is gone and won't be back get over it please . Fed up with the crap Richie comments . He didn't want to come back he spoke to Jon twice in 11 years and the others once that should tell you everything you need to know
Does this band even rock anymore? All i hear from these guys is pop rock.... i'm sure they were a lot harder than this in the 80s. I think it went downhill from the 90's and onwards. Bon jovi (debut), slippery when wet and New jersey were the BEST albums they did and the most rocking. I'm not even sure if Jon will ever be able to sing "Wanted dead or alive" anymore without straining his voice. Sad but I think this band has had it's day.
I’m just glad. he got his voice back. he had surgery. just remember that. that a lot on a voice. he may not be able to sign his old songs. that good with me. I’m loving his album so far.
Of course the bonus track is the song that sounds absolutely the most like classic Bon Jovi. Everything is as it should be.
Of course. The title says it all. That was then (some of the best songs only available as demos), this is now (a great song only available as bonus).
But c'mon ''Living Proof'' does sound like what they did in the 80s.
Lyrics:
8 years old, hammering my old go cart
A two by four and a dream in my folks backyard
The steering wheel was a rope when it broke I lost
Life was a knife in my dream when then the wheels came off
that was then, this Is now
World keeps spinning round and round
you're either up or you're upside down
Every road has led me back around
tears will fall and scars will fade
you learn to live with the mess you've made
a broken road still gets ya home somehow
that was then, this is now
Firing off kisses on all pistons in a little red dress
a chrome plated heart teach ya somethin that ya never forget
She take ya to the finish line but ya never gonna cross
crashed on a dead end street when my wheels came off
That Was Then, This Is Now
World keeps spinning round and round
you're either up or you're upside down
Every road has led me back around
tears will fall and scars will fade
you learn to live with the mess you've made
a broken road still gets ya home somehow
that was then, this is now
that was then, this is now
Guitar Solo
sometimes at night my mind plays tricks on me
tells me that this dream just don't work out
haunted by a ghost that I can't see
that was then, this is now
World keeps spinning round and round
you're either up or you're upside down
Every road has led me back around
tears will fall and scars will fade
you learn to live with the mess you've made
a broken road still gets ya home somehow
that was then, this is now
that was then, this is now
Guitar Solo
Thank you 🙏🙏
Thank you so much ❤

I've been listening to it for a week. Definitely should be put on the album
Kiss the bribe and love my old guitar are on the album and meanwhile that was then, this is now is a bonus track… omg
I have to agree. This should have made the album
It's expected that Jon always leaves out or almost leaves out some of the best. Heard this on the radio, new immediatly it was Bon Jovi.
This one should been on the album😢
That's exactly why I always order the Japanese (deluxe) edition of Bon Jovi albums with bonus tracks. cdjapan for example...
one of best song on album also such as waves and first guitar. bonus??
What a great song. It sounds super awesome.😍❤️👍
Nice. Would switch this for 'Hollow Man' in a heartbeat.
This song is awesome 👍, so that means there will be a deluxe version of the album with extra songs
This the bonus track that is on the Japanese version of the album. All albums released in Japan have a bonus track. It is a standard marketing thing for the Japanese market.
Should be on album awesome song !
The immaculate habit of Bon Jovi of leaving the best tracks out of the album
Yes! Would not be a Bon Jovi album if Jon didn't do that!
How the hell did this not make the record, but "I Wrote You A Song" did?
I really liked I wrote you a song. But I agree that this song should have definitely made the album. One of the best songs they’ve written since 2005 IMO. I would have replaced “My First Guitar” with this song
It's on the Japanese edition of the album.
I wondered the same. "I wrote you a song" is decent, but boring. This would have improved the album a bit.
its a good q. but its a old bad habit. lots of jovi songs on b side as bonus. why, I dont know ...just usual
Awesome to see Jon on the streets in Nashville, TN in his neat Jovi Forever jacket!♥️🌟👋
Good lyrics, pop music, but at the end coming a very good guitar solo. What was when we have wrote in 1986? Rock music. Now this is entertaining, but this is more better, than last albums.
How can this not be in the album!
Bonus in Japan
Hey Jon, a new Song After the Album‼️‼️I love It, your voice, the rhythm and lyrics. All Is awesome and charming. Much love Always, Elena 🆙😉🌟💥💯🎇🐞🎸🤗💞
I love this wonderful song 💖 I love Jon Bon Jovi 💓 Amazing Singer 🌟 Beautiful and Charmant Man 🙆♀️🔥 Thanks for sharing 👌👍✌️💯
Woooow this blows my mind!!! I love it!! Should be next single
Loving❤❤❤
Love it! 😍 thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
They should've just had this song on the regular release... the album kind of has an empty spot without this song on it. It's a shame to deprive the general US public of this good song.
Amazing bonus!!!
Wowaaaa awesome. Best is always at the last. Rock JBJ
Cool song!
Super album!❤❤❤
Elle est magnifique cette chanson,❤❤❤❤❤❤

You learn to live with the mess you've made a broken road still gets ya home somehow
that was then, this is now. ❤ Love this xx
Very beautiful music and voice ❤️ Fantastic, Super
We love u jon bon jovi❤
Whoever picked the tracklist and left out this song deserves an upper cut. Better than 90 percent of the album
But just because the album is another Johnny Electric Shit
Cant believe Its not included in the standart album, it's better than Walls of Jerycho or others.
Yess. He always puts the best songs of the albums in the bonus tracks
Yess better this than walls or livin paradise
Ah.. Wall of Jericho e Living in paradise são ótimas também
Nice❤
I think your voice is still great, Jon, love you, your fan Annette from Germany!❤
❤❤❤
Enfin un solo de guitare
I said the same thing! I love it
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Genio
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Les deux ballades sont bien

Bon Jovi simplement
NO APOLOGIES... 🎶
🎼🎶🌹🍀🎶🎤🎸
La più bella canzone dell'album è fuori dall'album principale.. 😢
Is it a bônus track to the Japanese version?
questa fuori mentre kiss the bride e hollow man dentro, mandate via Shanks.
Where can I get this song?
It's a bonus track on the Japanese edition CD if you want a physical copy
Somehow I feel betrayed. I always buy the new album. Then there is always Japanese version released with one or two bonustracks......
Jericho excellent
Worse song on the album 😢
End of the song is the best
Why not more heavy guitars ?
I will never understand this
Because Bon Jovi is Pop Rock . Bon jovi isn't Hard Rock. 😢
@@rodrigohanzo2866
It’s not anymore
But it was
That’s the point
There were songs when Bon jovi used heavy guitars
Now it’s more drums and beat
Non vous êtes négatif
Best song doesn’t go on the album?
Great song, but I prefer it if Richie plays the guitar, this one is bad
Does this band even rock anymore? All i hear from these guys is pop rock.... i'm sure they were a lot harder than this in the 80s. I think it went downhill from the 90's and onwards. Bon jovi (debut), slippery when wet and New jersey were the BEST albums they did and the most rocking. I'm not even sure if Jon will ever be able to sing "Wanted dead or alive" anymore without straining his voice. Sad but I think this band has had it's day.
I’m just glad. he got his voice back. he had surgery. just remember that. that a lot on a voice. he may not be able to sign his old songs. that good with me. I’m loving his album so far.
Sorry brother Phil but Richie can play better than this🙏
