These demos show the band rehearsing songs for Slippery before laying down the production demos to take into the studio with the producer. Some feature one really loud instrument with everything else quieter in the background, others are more balanced. A very interesting glimpse into the creative process. 01 I'd Die for You 02 Let it Rock 03 Game of the Heart 04 Borderline 05 Social Disease 06 Livin' on a Prayer 07 Edge of a Broken Heart 08 Without Love 09 Never Say Goodbye 10 Raise Your Hands #1 11 Raise Your Hands #2 12 Never Enough http://www.bonjovimuseum.com/main/index1.html Slippery When Wet Studio Demos This disc contians the polished studio demos that the Jersey Boys took with them to the studio to begin recording the epic Slippery When Wet with thier producer. All are different from the final versions and fun to listen to with decent audio quality. 01 You Give Love a Bad Name 02 Without Love 03 Wild in the Streets 04 Wanted Dead or Alive 05 Raise Your Hands 06 Never Enough 07 Edge of a Broken Heart 08 Borderline 09 Game of the Heart 10 Let it Rock 11 Social Disease 12 Livin' on a Prayer 13 Lonely is the Night 14 Deep Cuts the Knife 15 Never Say Goodbye (Richie lead vocal) 16 I'd Die for You The New Jersey Preproduction Demos These demos feature a scratch (raw) vocal along with a louder instrumental track, many unreleased songs. 01 Rosie 02 99 in the Shade 03 Backdoor to Heaven 04 Bad Medicine 05 Love is War 06 Judgment Day 07 Wild is the Wind 08 In America 09 Living in Sin 10 Love Hurts 11 Blood on Blood 12 I'll Be There for You 13 Born to Be My Baby 14 Stick to Your Guns 15 Homebound Train 16 Diamond Ring (electric version) 17 House of Fire 18 Let's Make it Baby The Orignal New Jersey Back in 1988 Bon Jovi intended to release a double album as a follow up to the multi-platinum juggernaut "Slippery When Wet". The record company got nervous about the higher price point and decided they would only release a single album. Well as this demo of the comple sequenced proposed double album shows, the record company was wrong. Great songs and great sound quality makes this a must have for all Bon Jovi Fans. 01 Love is War 02 Let's Make it Baby (X-rated talkbox version) 03 Judgment Day 04 River of Love (Come Alive) 05 Now and Forever 06 Growing Up the Hard Way 07 Does Anybody Really Fall in Love Anymore? 08 Rosie 09 Homebound Train 10 Wild is the Wind 11 Living in Sin 12 Blood on Blood 13 Backdoor to Heaven 14 Love Hurts 15 Stick to Your Guns 16 Love for Sale The Stranger in This Town rehearsals Richie Sambora,Tico Torres and Dave Bryan along with the rest of Richie's live solo tour band rehearse for the short lived 1991 solo tour.

This box comprises all know Bon Jovi and solo demos which have not been released as B-sides or otherwise in an official manner. There is a early demo release of the most recent Bon Jovi CD "Have a Nice Day" which contains unreleased and different version of all songs. While the pre-release version of HAND was never sold, it was released about 6 months early to select critics and media members for review, critique. The version was also individually digitally watermarked during one song, making each copy traceable to the original owner. Versions with the watermarked portion clipped out are available though I am uncertain if sharing here is appropriate or allowed. |
