There’s a lot of fuss being made about Shanks’ Twitter announcements. I personally am not particularly worried–song titles don’t really mean much, and some of Bon Jovi’s best songs have goofy titles anyway. It’s the sound of the song that counts. If it’s an album title–well, Bon Jovi haven’t really had a good album title since These Days, so there’s no news there. And calling the album ‘We Weren’t Born to Follow’ is in keeping with the recent ego trip that Jon seems to be on. Look at what they called their documentary–’When We Were Beautiful’. That smacks of ego too.
It’s the songs in the album that count. I think I’ll wait to hear the songs and see how they come out. It’ll be interesting to see if they can produce a ‘real’ rock album as promised.
Also, I hope that none of the videos are in black and white this time around. Please.
