One of the most underrated rock bands in the late 80s, overshadowed by world-class acts like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard. I bought their greatest hits and enjoyed their genre of blues rock and this embodies how Cinderella wanted to be defined. I took a walk down a road it’s the road I was...
1986 : Bon Jovi – I’d Die For You (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
Taken from Bon Jovi’s explosive album, “Slippery When Wet”, one of the greatest rock albums of all time, this is a lesser known track off the album written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. They say third time’s the lucky charm and that perfectly sums Bon Jovi’s...
1990 : Jon Bon Jovi – Miracle (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
“Miracle” was Jon Bon Jovi’s second single after the magical “Blaze of Glory”, a really tough act to follow and predictably didn’t do as well as it only peaked at number 12 in the American Billboard charts. The music video features Matt Le Blanc of Friends...
Bon Jovi – These Arms Are Open All Night
posted by Gallivanter
Bon Jovi wrote a few songs with the words “Arms” and “Open all Night”, and this is one of the unreleased tracks that didn’t make the cut of any of their albums, considering the melody and tempo, it would’ve have fit any of their albums and rightly so. But,...
1998 : Bon Jovi – Hush (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
I love this tune. Pity it didn’t make the “Crush” album as Bon Jovi dropped it aside as it did not fit the theme of the album. I love the chorus and the bridge to the chorus. They originally planned for a new album called, “Sex Sells” in the late 90s, but opted...
Def Leppard – Undefeated (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Def Leppard’s just released Mirrorball, a live album of their best songs of the past, plus 3 new songs. Of the 3 songs, “Kings of the World” – an extremely pathetic attempt to sound like Queen, copying the styles of “Bohemian Rhapsody” was just a stupid...
James Durbin – I’ll Be There For You (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
If you don’t put the face behind the voice, you’d think this is some street singer in the early stages of the verses. He’s clearly no Jon Bon Jovi as he tries to make this song his own, and I think, not really a good job. I’m worried about James Durbin, as his live...
Bon Jovi – Crazy Love (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I’m not sure which album was this song written for, but it doesn’t sound like it would’ve fit into any of the albums’ themes over the past decade. Hence why I think Bon Jovi kept it aside and released it as a collection of outtakes in 2004 as a 4-disc collection of...
2007 : Bon Jovi – Put the Boy Back in Cowboy (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
When Bon Jovi mentioned about releasing a country rock album, I had mixed feelings, but after listening to “Lost Highway”, I thought they did pretty good. This tune is a typical country rock tune, perfect for line dancing, for a younger crowd. This song didn’t make the album...
Outliving My Childhood Idol – Who’s Your Childhood Idol?
posted by Gallivanter
It has happened with Michael Jackson in 2009, and it could probably happen to my favorite band, Bon Jovi too, unless Jon outlives me. It feels different, knowing that you’ll outlive your idol, and also watching footballers younger than you on TV. When MJ died, I actually shed a tear...
I’m off on a Honeymoon Hiatus!
posted by Gallivanter
Yes, I never thought I’d say this, and I’ve been blogging for 4 years now and it’s very rarely that I don’t blog, at least not more than 3 days gap between posts, simply because there’s so much music to share. This blog has evolved into a music website as I always...
How Long Does it Take For You to Fall Asleep?
posted by Gallivanter
I think depending on the day’s event (and age too!), it take me less than 15 minutes to fall asleep. I think the toughest part is when there is a major event happening tomorrow, like a job interview, exam, marriage, is then when you go through various roller-coaster stages of emotions...
