About "These Days"...

Album    : These Days / Japan:Mercury  CD: PHCR-1370
Members  : Jon Bon Jovi (lead vocals)
           Richie Sambora (acoustic/electric guitar, electric sitar, background vocals)
           David Bryan (keyboards, background vocals)
           Tico Torres (drums, percussion)
Producers: Peter Collins, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora
Songs    : 

Japanese press are added two bonus tracks :
All I Want Is Everything / Bitter Wine
The package of Japanese initial press is like photo album. It's hard-cover, not plastic case. It have 26 color pages - contained lyrics, photos, a post card - and more 26 black-white pages for Japanese translation and liner note with photo. If you find it at import shops, you must be surprised.

I think this is their superior album. Almost songs may be sound like ballad songs. Is that true ? No!! I feel their heavy passion for all songs. Jon sometimes fear of future - his son and daughter gonna live -, he sometimes pray for peaceful world - his family gonna live -. It's too private, but that's all he wants, of course we too. Yes, they only look into future. Even if you don't like this album so much as hard rock or heavy metal, I'm glad to feel thier spirits and works - they do everything they really wanna do -. They grow up more and more, "Faith" is still keeping. Forever!!

I live these records 25 hours a day - Jon Bon Jovi

More Information

• You know Jon Bon Jovi is THIN LIZZY's fan (me too). Today's radio program says he confirm taking part in "the Vibe for Philo '95" - 10th Anniversary of Phil Lynott's Death -. The first show will be in Dublin on 4th January and the second show will be a few days later at Hammersmith Apollo in London.
• Unfortunately Jon didn't appear the show...
• The compilation album of Richie Sambora and Alec John Such's former band MESSAGE (vocalist Dean Fasano who is Richies's good friend) was released in Germany. It contains 'Pessimistic Man' and 'Is There Love' written by Richie. Liner note says they played 6 track of 10. 'She's Gone' reminds me the early time of Bon Jovi.
