Such a great year in music.

This ain't gonna do it...

Wow, no one has ever suggested this. You should work in the entertainment business...

Why did it take four years to release this?

That and World Wide Live were the only albums I owned by them. Loved Savage Amusement. Saw that tour.

I never appreciated how big they were in the States in the 80s. Their albums were multi-platinum hits. I take it they were headlining huge arenas?

I’m 5’10. Shortest : 4’11 - my buddies all called her “Midget.” Tallest: 6’4 - Took a complete “off the record” fucking one night with a local bartender my friends called “big baby mama.” They caught me red handed the next morning when her large, oversized shoes were upstairs on the rug by the fron...

That's the question.

I would say my shortest was just shy of five feet even. The tallest was about 5'11". Heels turned her into a giant.

I'm average height, 5'10".

The production took a major shit on the follow up.

Richie Sambora

But, seemingly just as rapid as their rise to the top was the abrupt halt to their career in 1991 – with the onset of grunge and alt-rock replacing the party hearty metal stylings of the previous decade, in addition to internal strife within the band behind the scenes. Even Juan said it was actuall...

Bought it last night. Great, long read and tons of never seen before pics.

Thanks for sharing!

That was the first single/video from the album. Pretty sure it scared all the fans away. Even at 14, I knew that was an idiot move.

Awesome song but that was my immediate reaction too... "fifth single" so it didn't get as much attention as the others. I think it did as well as it did because "Love is War" was the b-side which helped boost single sales. Really good song. I do think if it was released as an ea...

Love this one. It's amazing how Bon Jovi had so many hits, a few go forgotten. I don't think the video was a big deal. Just marketing to hype up the fifth single from an album that had been out for over a year. I remember the home video had an "uncensored" version with nothing to censor. ...

Scott Hill for the past 25 years.

Bryan Adams used to do this. It was fun to watch.

What Happens Tomorrow

Eric looks fat.

These Days went Platinum and Crush went double Platinum. It's safe to say they gained fans and that helped increase ticket sales. The real mystery is how Keep the Faith is not seen as a major bomb when it sold way less than Adrenalize. They had hits but it didn't translate to album sales. How did t...

Poison on the Open Up tour. Tesla opened. Didn't really miss it, per se, Poison cancelled.

I think they initially lied about Pearcy's age. You would sometimes read he was born in '59, when he was actually born in '56.

They were there in early 1997. Belly To Belly tour. I think the venue was The Junkyard. Something on Osborne anyway. Not The Zoo.

I was there. Drunk.

Cinderella was dead by 1991. I saw them in 1991 with red hot Slaughter opening. Barely 3,000 there for an arena show.

Thats offsides for sure...

Why am I not shocked at what the perp looks like?

Human garbage... have fun in a cage you animal!

Rayyyyyyyyysysssssssssttttt.

How dare you!!

This time it's for reals.

I think the first singles were usually "duds" because they weren't the poppy songs or ballads. The rock songs usually didn't do a ton of business. More like the record company playing up to bands' "we're not pussies" images and waited to hit it big ($$$) with the next singles.

Bon Jovi - Bounce

I feel like we've had similar threads to this, but I was thinking about how "Think About You/Mr Brownstone" were co first singles on AFD. What other albums had first (or more?) single(s) that were total flops compared to the hits released later? The only other one off the top of my head i...
