(Thursday, August 19, 2004)

USA TODAY broke the news exclusively via their website tonite and will break the news in print in their newspapers tomorrow AM - here's the press release. We told you - when there was news, you'd get it... 100 MILLION BON JOVI FANS CAN'T BE WRONG!

5-DISC BOX SET PLANNED FOR NOVEMBER 16th WORLDWIDE RELEASE

3 CDs of previously unreleased songs, fourth CD of rarities from around the world, and behind-the-scenes DVD

Fans everywhere requested to submit email testimonials for box set booklet

August 17, 2004 - New York, NY) Island recording group Bon Jovi, who released their debut recording in 1984, will celebrate the first their continued love affair with audiences around the world on a mammoth 5-disc box set entitled 100 MILLION BON JOVI FANS CAN'T BE WRONG, a premiere collection composed almost entirely of unheard and unseen materials from the band's vast archive.

The top secret box set project has been personally supervised by Bon Jovi at every stage. It will comprise three CDs of songs previously unreleased by the band, a fourth CD with many of Bon Jovi's favorite previously released rarities (from movie sound*tracks and a variety of sources here and abroad), and a DVD of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes film and video footage. The deluxe box set will arrive in stores internationally on Monday, November 15th and in stores in the US and Canada.

In what is considered a first for any box set of this magnitude, Bon Jovi will reach out to its fanbase across the globe and ask them to submit brief written comments via email, a number of which will be incorporated into the booklet accompanying the box set. Fans may email anecdotes, opinions, recollections and personal essays to tellus@bonjovi.com.

The entire contents of the box set are in the final phase of production, but the band now confirms that among the previously unreleased materials (many of which are completed tracks that never made it onto albums) will be songs even the most hard-core fans have never heard, including "Why Aren't You Dead?" "One To Say Goodbye," and "Gotta Have a Reason." Similarly the fourth disc, containing songs which have been released in limited formats previously, is slated to include the movie tracks "Good Guys Don't Always Wear White" (from The Cowboy Way), "Real Life" (from EDTV), an original demo of the hit single, "Always," and international B-sides such as "Temptation."

Further details on this extraordinary box set will be revealed in the weeks ahead.

ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!!

Their last few CD releases have pissed me off. Crush was okay, Bounce was laughable and This Left Feels Right was well, it was okay.

Thanks for posting that.

Okay, edit....

They had better put the cover of One by U2 on one of the cd's. Bon Jovi sang that sometime last year while in Ireland and when I found out I almost died. My fav U2 song sung by Bon Jovi? Ohhh, good stuff.

I feel the same way. I liked a few of their songs. I just couldn't get into them that much once the 90's hit. Always kinda killed it for me.

I think Livin on a prayer, and Dead or Alive were probably my two favorites. Bad medicine was another good one but thats only because it makes me think of when I was 3 riding around in with my sister in her Firebird lol.

Ballad wise, they wrote probably some of the better "monster ballads" of the 80's. I give them credit. They were cheesy but not as cheesy as others....*cough*WARRANT*cough*

Now I'm off to find some HEAVY metal news lol.

Meh! The best Bon Jovi song is from the 90's... "Dry County" is the best song evar.

I wonder how much this boxset is going to cost?
