Bon Jovi’s New Single Has A Bit Of An Edge To It
Raise your hand if you didn’t know that Jersey lifers Bon Jovi had a new single out and you live in the tri-state area. I know, right? It’s kind of amazing, given that any movement by the band would have sent tremors ’round the WWOR broadcast zone as recently as a few years back. “We Weren’t Born To Follow,” the first single from their forthcoming album The Circle, actually came out last week. The track, credited to Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, is pretty standard Bon Jovi fare with a few exceptions—first, there’s no guitar solo, and second, there’s a tremolo-ish guitar underneath the whole thing that sounds like it was lifted from U2’s “Where The Streets Have No Name.” Well, at least Jon still sings the word “born” exactly the way he did on the New Jersey-era classic “Born To Be My Baby,” so as to soothe any fans who might be confused!
