| Updated 17th October 2002 -taken from www.backstagejbj.com BON JOVI BOUNCES ONTO U.S CHARTS AT #2 New Album Bounce Is the Highest Chart U.S Debut Ever for a Bon Jovi Album New York - October 16, 2002 - International superstars Bon Jovi add another milestone to their multi-platinum career as their latest effort Bounce debuts at #2 on the Billboard charts. This marks the highest-ever debut for the band who have earned sales in excess of 93 million albums worldwide. The new album Bounce is a big rock 'n' roll record that harkens to the band's roots with powerful songs and the inspiring, optimistic and hopeful lyrics that Bon Jovi is known for. The New York Times writes, "Bon Jovi has become a rock 'n' roll institution" and The Associated Press hailed, "The boys from Jersey are back with Bounce, one of the best hard-rock records of the year." Fueled by the hit single "Everyday" the album has already topped the European charts with a number one debut. Bon Jovi first debuted new material from Bounce at a rousing performance in front of more than 500,000 fans in New York's Times Square - and countless more watching on TV - at a kick-off event for the NFL season. This feat was followed by a performance at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London which was simulcast live via satellite to more than 20 cinemas throughout Europe, and webcast live to over 63 different countries and seen by more than one million music fans. Bon Jovi also recently appeared on the "Today Show," where thousands of the faithful gathered amidst the pouring rain to watch the band's outdoor performance, garnering the largest crowd the show has ever had in the month of October - rain or shine. Bon Jovi is slated to mount a worldwide tour in support of Bounce beginning in December and continuing throughout 2003. Bounce is the follow up to the incredibly successful album, Crush which sold eight million copies worldwide (certified double platinum in the U.S.), spawned the hit singles, "It's My Life" and "Thank You For Loving Me" and earned the group their first ever Grammy nominations for "Best Rock Album" and "Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group" for "It's My Life." A review of Bon Jovi�s new album � Bounce! - In stores now! By Donna Butler. On August 19th, a good friend of mine Shari Blackvelvet, editor of Blackvelvet magazine and huge Bon Jovi fan, was invited to go along to the Bounce listening party which took place in a London studio. She was allowed to bring a guest and so invited me along too! (Thanks again to Shari!) There were only about 50 people there, which mostly consisted of record co. execs, PR people and a select few journalists/press. Soft drinks, wine and snacks were served to us throughout the duration while the album was played over the sound system, as we sat and took notes! The album begins with a fast and catchy rocker titled �Undivided.� It has a moody feel to it and reflects the emotions and the events of Sept 11th It�s loud drumbeats and heavy guitar licks coupled with Jon�s searing lyrics make you stand up and listen, really listen. A great first track which gets you hooked from the start! Next up is the first single release titled �Everyday,� which continues the mood by again reflecting on the emotions of Sept 11th. It has a defiant feel to it with profound lyrics like �I�ve had enough of crying, bleeding, sweating dying�, �I�m gonna live my life everyday� and �Take my shots while I�m still burning.� This is how most of us are feeling and you get the message that it�s ok to want the need to come through this, but you gotta have attitude and use it to try to make your life better. The song will no doubt be another huge hit for the band is a great choice for the first single. �The Distance� has a more mellow beat but still has a rocky feel to it with lots of guitar and lots of feeling in Jon�s voice. This one is great and would do well as a single. Next up is �Joey�. A very nice ballad with an edge. It�s in the similar vein to Elton John�s �Levon� and intentionally so! David Bryan�s classical piano skills shine through and are prominently featured. �Misunderstood�. A middle of the road track which is fresh and crisp with that radio friendly feel to it. �All about loving you� flows along nicely. It has orchestral undertones and a big poweful build up at the last chorus. Getting right back to business next with the bold and brash �Hook Me Up�. A great, fast rock song with ancient sound effects simulating a ham or a C.B. radio. (you�ll know why when you listen to the lyrics.) The song leans towards the heavier side of Bon Jovi, showing that they CAN rock as hard as the rest! With a �Fire Woman� feel to it with Jon singing �Come on� In classic Ian Astbury style! It�s probably the heaviest track on the album, boasting a slow start which builds up into an almost frenzied but not too fast guitar solo by Richie Sambora. A fantastic track and will be a huge favourite with the fans who love the harder stuff! Things start to slow down a little with �The Right Side of Wrong�. It�s a modern day Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. Singing cowboy songs, taking road trips and all that is Bon Jovi�s akin to the Wild, Wild West! It neatly follows on from the other classic hits, �Wanted� and �Blaze of Glory�. It has another great guitar solo with a loud orchestral feel to it. �Love Me Back To Life� is something very special and very different. It has a big rocky start then get mellower but doesn�t lose it�s rocky edge. There are very beautiful lyrics and great sounds which hit you right between the eyes. Jon pleads �Make me come alive�, �Love me back to life�, all the while the song is taking on a life of it�s own. It boasts another supurb Richie guitar solo and is just absolutely brilliant. It will surely be one of my favourites! �You Had Me From Hello� inspired from the obvious and now famous line from the fantastic �Jerry McGuire� movie. It�s a very romantic ballad and epitomises all that is true love. the penultimate track and album title �Bounce� brings you right back to earth with a jolt. It�s fast, it�s rocky with a great �Bounce, Bounce� chorus. A definite crowd pleaser and will get everyone�s attention. Big heavy drum beats throughout with searing guitar and bass tones. It reflects the bouncing back of the band throughout their 20 year career and it�s also reminiscent of the bouncing back of New York and America, however, it can also be interpreted anyway you want. Great song! The last track "Open All Night" really slows things down again to end the exhilarating roller coaster ride you have just experienced! The song was inspired by Jon's acting role as Ally's eventual lover in Ally McBeal. Jon's character Victor is actually telling her that if she cared, his arms really were "open all night." �Bounce� is going to be a huge hit with the die-hard fans and newer fans alike and will surely sell in it�s masses, ensuring that the band�s album sales will top the 100 million sales mark by their 20th Anniversary in 2003! Updated October 23rd - Keeping the faith by Terrina Hussein Spanning over two decades, Bon Jovi's fan base has grown along with the group's music. When they were first formed in 1983, their energetic, simple and fun music opened up a new category in the international music scene: Clean rock. The cool, cute and still quite presentable frontman, Jon Bon Jovi gathered up fellow musicians, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres, David Bryan and Alec John Such in 1983 when presented with an opportunity to sign with Mercury Records. Releasing their self-titled debut album just a year later, Bon Jovi was on its way to establishing themselves as one of the most popular rock bands of all time. Always guaranteeing a sold-out concert, whether a homecoming show in New Jersey, or a one night-only performance at Wembley Stadium in London, Bon Jovi has come a long way from being 20-something rockers with tight jeans, big hair and bouncing stage antics. Jon's edgy but melodic voice gave the band its identity. As my mother used to say, "He's not one of those rock stars who screams, he sings." Yes, so the tight jeans are still in the picture, and the hair, though still big, is tamed a little, but what you get now with Bon Jovi is a more mature approach to their music, lyrics and career. "I'm aware of the evolution," Jon has said. "Obviously, You Give Love A Bad Name was a kid who was 25, and having fun and being goofy, but by the time Keep The Faith came out came around, there was more of a social conscience. I think that we've grown as writers to help spread the optimism in the face of adversity in a pessimistic world and I think it's welcomed." Though no one can doubt the intense memories and flashbacks any teen of the 80s will get with just one listen to past hits like Living On A Prayer, I'll Be There For You, You Give Love A Bad Name, or anything from the 1984 to 1988 period, there's something about Bon Jovi's music of today that shows us that they are one rock group that's aged gracefully over time. Managing to hold on to their old fans who were �pogoing' as high as Jon's hair back in the New Jersey days, they've also won over a new generation of fans with their recent hits such as Bed Of Roses, One Wild Night, It's My Life and Thank You (For Loving Me). "I feel nostalgic," Jon explained of their 20 years in the business. "I heard You Give Love A Bad Name on the radio recently and just stopped, listened to it and fell back on the memories of it and enjoyed it." But for a band that's seen the burst of commercial rock to the digitisation of commercial electronic rock, Bon Jovi tends to stick to what they know best. "It's pretty much Richie and I sitting down with two guitars, talking about what you've read in the paper, or watched on the news, or had an idea, and you just start strumming and we take little snippets, and they become themes," Jon explained. "And then we come down with a song, you know, it's pretty much just like that, we don't need to go to any special location and have incense burning or leprechauns running around the room... just two guitars, two guys and a little tape recorder." "Yeah, it's very primitive actually," Richie added. "We do it the same way we've always done it." Another thing that keeps Bon Jovi uniquely different from other music acts is that members go off and do their own thing, but the band stays together. "Well, we're friends first and foremost," Jon said. "We have a good time together, and we do it because we love it, and the fact that everybody has solo projects and stuff on downtime, it feed us as human beings creatively. So when we get back together, we've got something to talk about and write about and play about." Among the many solo albums and musical journeys the group has worked on individually, Jon has ventured into another artistic space, the acting arena. Winning fans from all walks of life, the band recently regrouped early this year to work on their new album, Bounce, which was released in September, with the hope of lifting the American spirit after the Sept 11 Attack. "Obviously, the whole American conscience was shaken when terrorism first arrived on our shores on Sept 11. We had to write songs about it. It definitely had content in some of our songs. As writers and being from there, that's our backyard you know, so it's really hard for us to not do that," Jon said. Three songs, especially from Bounce, were dedicated to Sept 11 - Bounce, Undivided and Everyday. "In Undivided, there was anger," Jon explained. "There were biting lyrics behind that big, optimistic chorus because we realise that if New York was a microcosm for the world, and in fact, the people in the towers were a microcosm of that - as strangers helping each other, they all came together as one." Their new album, Bounce, their eighth studio effort, doesn't really offer anything new in terms of the band's progression because Bon Jovi has discovered the secret to their success is to remain the same in an ever-changing world. Apart from somewhat more socially conscious lyrics, and a slight electronic feel to some of the tracks, that beat, that voice and that climactic rock feeling are still there. Choice tracks would be their four ballads, All About Loving You, Right Side Of Wrong, You Had Me From Hello and Open All Night, where as usual, Bon Jovi manages to sound all lovey-dovey without being too corny. The title track, Bounce, and Undivided, Hook Me Up and The Distance remind us that this 80s band can still rock. For all their solo efforts, I think it's about time Bon Jovi �fess up' that the thing they do best is stay together. I have a feeling this ain't the last we'll hear of them. * Bounce is available under Universal Music, from all leading music stores. �New Straits Times (M) Berhad Update October 23rd- Bon Jovi bouncing back to the top- Sunday, October 20th, 2002 Like fellow New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen, the boys from Bon Jovi have also recorded an album based around their thoughts on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Just as the Boss did, the band was home in Jersey, watching the events unfold on TV and seeing the smoke outside their kitchen windows. As they put it, it means more when you can actually feel the heat. As the nation recovered and cleaned up the mess, the band retreated to their studio and recorded their thoughts on tape. As the songs poured out, the band realized that the general theme of the album seemed to deal with picking up the pieces and moving on with life. They participated in several benefit concerts to help the community and the victims that lost their life on that terrible day. Over two dozen songs were recorded and when the final cut was made, "Bounce" seemed to be the only title that fit. Known for their up-tempo music, the band has definitely done their part to help with the healing process. Since their humble beginning, they often caught the blunt of the critic's wrath. Labeled nothing more than a hair band in tight leather pants, the five musicians overcame huge odds to prove they were a force to be reckoned with. Their third album, "Slippery When Wet," sold over 10 million copies and launched the group to superstar status. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora are the primary songwriters and cite Billy Joel and Elton John as major influences. They approached the songs for the new project with their idols in mind, wanting to write story songs like these two piano players are famous for. As they have always done, they wrote about the events in their lives and in their city. Unfortunately, the bombing of the World Trade Center happened in their neighborhood. At first they were unsure how their fans would accept their singing about such a horrific event. After all, who wants to remember that terrible day in our past? However, any songwriter worth his salt will not deliberately steer clear of painful subjects. So, the writing began, and soon the album was finished. Where some artists might take a somber path, Bon Jovi chose to take the high road with their music. As each band member states on the Web site, the album represents where they are right now in their life and career. In fact, each member was asked what they think the music the music of Bon Jovi means to their fans. Jon answered "three minutes of optimism." Sambora calls it optimistic rock 'n' roll. Drummer Tico Torres thinks their music is positive and fun. And keyboardist David Bryan says it's just good rock 'n' roll. "Bounce" can mean several things, but the resiliency of a band or our country both fit the picture. The CD opens with the thunder of Sambora's Gibson Flying V guitar cranked up to 11 and Jon belting out the bitter lyrics of "Undivided." After this blast of sound, they throttle back a bit on "Everyday," but not much. It's a hit single and they know it. Sambora kicks your teeth in on the opening riff of "The Distance," but pauses every few minutes so Jon Boy can slip in some heartfelt lyrics. "Joey" is their idea of the story songs I mentioned, the kind inspired by Elton and Joel. The title track is vintage hair band from start to finish. "Open All Night" is straight off the pages of an Ally McBeal script. Those the tunes that work, these don't: "Misunderstood" never gets off the ground, even after Sambora injects a fine guitar solo. "All About Lovin' You" is just another typical Bon Jovi ballad. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. "Hook Me Up" starts off with the line, "Hello, is there anybody out there?" Am I wrong or didn't Pink Floyd use that same line about 20 years ago? The first single, "Everyday," definitely portrays a positive message. "Spread these wings and fly, I ain't here to play, gonna live my life every day." The lyrics continue with the obvious lessons we've learned, "Change, everybody's feelin' strange, things are never gonna be the same. Make's you wonder how the world keeps turning." I love the song and, as a fan of Bon Jovi since the early days, I think these lyrics say it all. Life is not a game and "I ain't here to play." It's a powerful statement and one that more people should take seriously. If the album portrays one single theme, it's how fragile life is and how it can end in the blink of an eye. It's a great message and Bon Jovi is the perfect band to sing it. Dale Martin is a music columnist for the Victoria Advocate. Contact him in care of The Advocate, Lifestyle Department, P.O.

One year ago, BON JOVI were celebrating the smash-success of their multi-platinum album CRUSH and culminating their world tour with two triumphant homecoming concerts at New Jersey's Giants Stadium. One year later, BON JOVI are proud to debut BOUNCE, their eighth studio album. BOUNCE is a complete work of art. Each song tells a chapter of the story; each song paints a portion of the portrait. BOUNCE is a journal kept by the band of where they've been this past year, a diary of what they've witnessed and what they've felt. There is harshness and tenderness in the lyrics. There is strength and grace in the music. BOUNCE is where ON JOVI are today. Even just a sampling of songs offers a snapshot of the band's experiences this past year. Invigorated by the success of CRUSH, Jon and Richie had begun the songwriting process for the next album and were working in New Jersey on new songs when the world stopped turning on September 11th. The songs Jon dy were heavy-hearted and cathartic. But as the weeks and months passed, what Jon and Richie (and so many of us felt) in the aftermath morphed from a profound sadness into a determined resolve to live life to its fullest. It was these feelings that moved the songwriting process forward. BOUNCE kicks off with the song UNDIVIDED. The song is the most directly influenced by the events of September 11th but, rather than dwelling upon the horror, it celebrates the silver lining the black cloud of 9/11 offered us. UNDIVIDED speaks to the oneness of everyone. not just one city, or one country. but the whole world entire. No man is an island. we are all part of the greater world that is humanity. We are stronger together, than apart. EVERYDAY is the first single from the album and reinforces the need to live each day to its fullest. The lyrics acknowledge the harshness of life but encourage listeners to brush themselves off, get back up on their feet and get on with life. The video for EVERYDAY reinforces this global message (as well as the international superstar status of BON JOVI) by setting the band's performance at the Very Large Array (VLA) in Socorro, New Mexico. The massive radio antennas in the background seemingly transmit the band's performance to locations around the world and we witness people from all corners of the planet watching this broadcast. (The band's performance was filmed in July; there are two secondary film crews, about to complete their worldwide treks, capturing real footage of people watching BON JOVI live.) HOOK ME UP, a great rock song, has a deeper message when one understands the lyrics within the proper context. The song was inspired by a newspaper article about a young Palestinean man in occupied territory, trying desperately to make contact with people via an old, beat-up ham radio. He was trapped in a small corner of the world, amidst horrible events and all he longed for was communication, a connection with the outside world and other people. With that situation in mind, the song was written from the young man's perspective, as if in a bunker, desperate for contact with others. ALL ABOUT LOVING YOU is the classic Bon Jovi love song. It's simple and endearing in its message. In the wake of the events of September 11th, many people rediscovered what was truly important in life. And appreciating the love of another has always been at the top of that list. but many people were reminded. This song puts priorities where they belong. BOUNCE, the album title track, is a declaration of strength and defiance. Initially, it had referred to the city of New York, and the United States as a whole, but also to the band's perseverance over a twenty year career. However, the song, as well as the album title, is open to interpretation by the listener. Whatever it is that you believe in, stick to it. Don't let others veer you off your chosen path. Determination. Gumption. Spirit. These prevail. MISUNDERSTOOD is a song for every guy who's said the wrong thing (or failed to say the right thing) and had to face up to the fact. Written upon his return home from a long stretch of time away on location, Jon acknowledged there were portions of his personal life he'd neglected and wrote this song as a mea culpa. The intentions are always good, but the delivery sometimes poor. This is the everyman's song - it's for every guy who has been in the doghouse. Jon noticed that in current popular music, there existed a dearth of real story-telling. The singer/songwriter was as popular as ever but the epic stories told by Billy Joel or Elton John through song were missing. Jon set out to write songs in that vein. JOEY takes us on a journey through the life of one character who befriends a simple-minded young man. With an intentional tip of the hat to Elton John's "Levon", JOEY allows Jon to climb into another's shoes and tell a story through that character's perspective. A window into one person's world told through song. THE RIGHT SIDE OF WRONG is a modern-day Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. good souls involved in wrongdoing but with hearts in the right place. There is an intentional movie feeling to the song. the music and guitar solos help to drive the story and the ending is left open. Again, an intentional nod to the storytelling songwriters that have inspired the band. The acting world and the magic of movies has had a significant impact on the songwriting of this album. YOU HAD ME FROM HELLO has obvious movie overtones. The phrase, coined by Cameron Crowe in his movie Jerry McGuire, was a beautiful sentiment. Fleshed out, the song is an ode to a committed relationship. The song honors the ability of someone to constantly see something new and beautiful in the one they love. THE DISTANCE is written in a cinematic style. The music serves as a score to the lyrics, which begins as an establishing shot and the "camera" draws closer into the story as the song progresses. The message reiterates the passion one feels when thereis a goal in sight and the determination shown when striving to reach that goal. Finally, OPEN ALL NIGHT, too, has its origin in the acting world. Jon Bon Jovi appeared on Ally McBeal for nine episodes as the character Victor Morrison, a plumber/babysitter/jack-of-all-trades at the home of the title character. While the storyline, especially the romance, took a very long time to evolve onscreen, Jon admitted that, had it been real life, he would never have allowed it to take so long - it would have happened or he would have moved on. The song OPEN ALL NIGHT is, in essence, Victor's dialogue with Ally, had Jon written the teleplay. The band worked incredibly hard these past few years. sometimes to the point of exhaustion. And that's a feeling everyone can relate to. When you're world-weary, you need someone or something to breathe the life back into you and allow you to appreciate the world again. LOVE ME BACK TO LIFE is a plea for that nurturing. The songs on BOUNCE each stand on their own but when the songs are presented together as a whole, they create something greater. Like a Seurat painting. up close, the record is a combination of intricate elements, many layers and many textures. But step back and look at the painting as a whole, and it is a work of art that lends itself to rediscovery and contemplation upon each viewing. And in the case of BOUNCE, upon each listening. January 2nd -Into the Studio! Bon Jovi have now completed their "One Wild Night" tour, which finished up with two sold out nights at Giants Stadium! Jon and Richie have been writing songs for the new album which is slated for release in September 2002, with a world tour to follow in 2003! They are starting the recording process in March in Jon's home studio, Sanctuary Sound II, New Jersey. They have confirmed that the working title of the new album is *BOUNCE* and Jon and Richie have written a song of the same name. They will tour in 2003 and the plan is to play only ARENA'S with Multiple Nights! However as you know tour plans can change, so keep checking back for up-to-date news! Update January 2002 -Bounce! taken from www.backstagejbj.com New York, NY-- International superstars, Bon Jovi head back in to the studio this week to begin recording their new album, Bounce. Bounce is being co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora along with Luke Ebbin, the same team responsible for the multi-platinum Crush. The band is recording the album in New Jersey and it is slated for a late Fall release. Bounce is the follow up to Bon Jovi's incredibly successful album, Crush which sold 8 million copies worldwide (certified double platinum in the U.S.), spawned the hit singles, "It's My Life" and "Thank You For Loving Me" and earned the group their first ever Grammy nominations for "Best Rock Album" and "Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group� for "It's My Life". The band embarked on a sold-out world tour that spanned 2000 and 2001, playing nearly 100 concerts in 18 countries for more than 3 million fans. The tour culminated with a two night sold-out homecoming at N.J.'s Giants Stadium. The shows aired on VH-1 and was the highest rated concert event in the network's history. In addition, Bon Jovi released their first-ever live album last year, One Wild Night: Live 1985-2001 which has sold over 2 million copies to date. The members of Bon Jovi have taken part in some very high profile events this year. In the wake of the September 11th attacks, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora performed as part of the "America: A Tribute to Heroes" telethon while the full band performed at the VH-1 "Concert for New York" in October at NYC's Madison Square Garden. Both events have been released on CD, DVD and VHS. Bon Jovi also took part in the "Alliance For Neighbors" concerts which benefited families living near the band members� hometowns who were affected by the World Trade Center attacks. In December, Jon and Richie performed a rousing rendition of "Here Comes the Sun" as a tribute to the late George Harrison at the 2001 My VH1 Awards, before winning the award for "Hottest Live Act". In February, Bon Jovi once again wowed a global audience with their amazing performance at the Closing Ceremonies of the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Games. January 2nd - New Bon Jovi Due Next Fall! Band also readying twentieth-anniversary box set! BY Greg Heller. Bon Jovi are set to begin tracking their eighth album and follow-up to 2000's comeback success, Crush. For the album, tentatively titled "Bounce," the band will again call on their Crush cohort Luke Ebbin to co-produce (alongside singer Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora), in Los Angeles' Henson (formerly A&M) Studios and at Sanctuary, Bon Jovi's home studio in New Jersey. Thus far they've penned twenty-six songs -- among them the front-runner for leadoff single, "Everyday" -- and expect to write considerably more before the process is through (sixty tracks were written for Crush). No firm release date has been set, but Jon Bon Jovi says he's eyeing September of 2002. Bon Jovi also says the new album is thematically "very upbeat" -- the working title itself references, "the bouncing back of the band as well as this country" -- and a big handful of the tracks themselves are ripe with September 11th imagery. In "Another Reason to Believe," he sings, "Love lives in New York City/He got a place off of the Park/I saw him standing in the ruins/And in his hands a broken heart/It was him that was running up that stairwell/When the sky came falling down." In another new tune, "One," he sings, "That was my brother lost in the rubble/That was my sister lost in that crush/Those were our mothers/Those were our children/Those were our fathers/That was each of us/A million prayers to God above/A million tears make an ocean of one." Not surprisingly, the events of that day marked a major turning point for Bon Jovi, something he hopes the band's new album will reflect. "People are going to finally stop and take notice of the wasted time we've spent over the last twenty years doing a whole lot of nothing," he says. "Creating movies and music and art that was somewhat disposable. If you were working on a crap movie the day that that happened, you sit back and ask, "Is this all I'm doing with my life?'" That notwithstanding, Bon Jovi is currently in Los Angeles filming nine episodes of Ally McBeal, where he'll be playing Ally's hunky construction worker beau, Victor Morrison. The band will record around his schedule until filming wraps in February, at which point they'll convene at Sanctuary for more intense sessions. Musically, the band hopes to further explore certain technological toys -- loops, beats -- it first tinkered with on Crush, but not at the expense of an organic rock sound. "We're playing a little bit more with that stuff on this record," Bon Jovi says, "but not over-exploiting it." When they've completed their next effort, the band will get to work on an as-yet-untitled box set, celebrating twenty years of Bon Jovi (1983-2003) and, if all goes as planned, 100 million album sold worldwide. Although it's not yet known how many discs the collection will comprise, the singer says the band has "tons and tons" of unreleased material to discharge from its vaults. "I don't want to just re-release our catalogue," Bon Jovi says. "Hopefully people already have the catalogue. It's more about the cool stuff." |
