100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Dream Come True

Bon Jovi. The mear mention of the name brings on thoughts of catchy pop rock and big hair. Those were the days. But in all reality, Bon Jovi's "Days" have yet to end.

Since entering the major leagues of music in 1984, Bon Jovi (the band...not JUST the man) have actually in truth only released 9 studio albums. They have other releases though that include Live albums, Greatest Hit Compilations as well as solo efforts (Jon, Richie, and David all have solo efforts) and such projects as "This left Just Feels Right". But the albums in and of themselves do not tell the full "Bon Jovi" story.

So marking the official announcement that they have sold 100,000,000 records...which by my standards means a LOT of records, Bon Jovi has released a loaded down box set entitled "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong". The set spans 5 total discs. 4 Music CD's and 1 DVD that is over an hour in length.

The music included on the CD's is not the hits that put Bon Jovi where they are today. No. There are over 40 never before released tracks as well as 10 rarities included on this set. Apparantly this isn't even all of their unheard stuff as they even selected these songs carefully. Bon Jovi has a vault that would rival that of Tupac as far as unreleased stuff goes. The set spans Bon Jovi's entire career. The songs were not cut from the albums due to the fact that they are not good songs. They were all cut for alot of reasons. Either they are similar to another song in style OR they just didn't fit with the overall flow of the album. Alot of songs on this set really make you wonder why they were cut.

Disc one includes such songs as "Why Aren't You Dead" which would have gave "Bad Medicine" a run for it's money. Disc one also includes the original version of "Someday I'll be Saturday Night" which blows the song they actually released out of the water in my opinion.

Moving onto Disc 2 you get the power ballads "Maybe Someday" and "Every Beat of my Heart". Trust me...this is Bon Jovi...there are many more Power Ballads over the 4 Discs. Good stuff.

Disc Three includes the highly sought after "Edge of a Broken Heart" which was a song cut from the "Slippery When Wet" album. Lots of fans have wanted this song for years. It was included in a movie called "Disorderlies" (staring 80's rappers The Fat Boys...hehe. I actually love this movie) years ago and was never released. Bon Jovi goes on record on the DVD and says he has no idea why he cut the song and apologizes. He also admits that he wanted to cut "Living on a Prayer" from the album

Disc 4 contains two versions of a song "Love Ain't Nothing but a Four Letter Word" and both versions are very different. The set really gives you a good glimpse into a thorough song writing process. You get to see how different concepts on different songs really come into play.

The DVD is really awesome. It has interviews with the band where they explain some of the songs on the album as well as what period the songs come from as well as why they left the songs off each album. It also included some very neat footage of Bon Jovi behind the scenes over the years. Interesting note from the DVD: Jon Bon Jovi is speaking of the album "Slippery When Wet" and the album title itself. He speaks of what the original plan for the title was and it really shocked me. He was looking for something that was really different and catchy and nearly ripped off the name of a little known band (at the time..lol) he had saw playing one night at a bar. The band....Guns N Roses. So "Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet" was ALMOST called "Bon Jovi: Guns N Roses" Interesting.

FINAL ANALYSIS: I don't think I would recommend this set to anyone who isn't a fan of Bon Jovi. You pretty much HAVE to be one to appreciate this set. If you are a fan...please...get it. You will be anything BUT disappointed. It's excellent. No bones about it. You pretty much get what you missed on the previous albums. Side note...new Bon Jovi album coming in 05. They talk about it on the DVD that comes with this set. I heard them perform a new song from it called "Have a Nice Day" and we have alot to look forward to. Great song.

LETTER GRADE: A+

100,000,000 fans weren't wrong!

I got this boxed set for Christmas and was able to listen to all four cd's on a long drive home. What a great set! The perfect addition to any Bon Jovi fan's collection! Having been a Bon Jovi fan for almost twenty years, I can honestly say that it is a real pleasure to listen to all of these songs that didn't quite make the albums. Some are vintage Bon Jovi, others are a complete left turn from the norm, but all of them are great! I especially liked hearing Richie Sambora and David Bryan take a turn at the lead vocals. A must have for any Bon Jovi fan!

50 SONGS

BON JOVI BOXSET IS GREAT . WE GET 50 SONGS THAT WE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THE SONGS ARE GREAT.

THE BEST OF THE REST

I have been a fan of Bon Jovi since about 1988 (I was 8 at the time), but I must admit that I lost faith in the band after the exellent Keep The Faith. Not that their albums have been bad since then. But they have only contained a small amount of the great songs that we all know that they can write. It's not because I'm against bands growing.

I got the box set as a Christmas present ( I am a fan after all), and it totally suprised me. These songs are great!! There are of course non of the big hit songs like Living On A Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive, but still great songs. This box set made believe in Bon Jovi again and actually fall in love all over again with the band. the only thing that bugs me now is the fact that they left some of these great songs of their weaker albums. But hey, Jon wanted to leave of Living On A Prayer on Slippery when Wet.
