Get The New Bon Jovi Album For Free

If you buy tickets to the upcoming Bon Jovi tour, you can get a free copy of the band's new album This House Is Not For Sale. Just follow the directions on the tweet below.

I actually think this is genius and the way famous bands should market albums. For big, established acts, encouraging ticket sales and giving away new music makes sense. As bands (and their fans) age, people are less apt to buy new music. If the band just gives away their music, people are more likely to at least listen to the new tracks and talk about the bands and maybe gin up some word of mouth sales. What do you think?

This also works for up and coming bands who are appreciative of their fans. Ghost is doing this with their recent EP on their tour as well. Never thought I would mention Jon Boyardee and Papa in the same post. The world continues to amaze me.

LMAO Him!!! Now, could you imagine those 2 on the same bill? Emeritus's ecclectic "denizens of the night" mixing with 40 something suburban soccer moms? That's a reality show even I'd watch.

Good point, Gary. I see a lot of lotion being involved. Gotta' prime the Nameless Ghouls pumps!

I see Soccer Moms recoiling and in indulging in terror! Ha ha ha.

This is a great way to get the new music in the hands of the truly dedicated fan.

Only thing is, in the case of Bon Anchovy, the new stuff is SO terrible, as is their current stage show, they should actually pay us to attend and pay again to have us listen to the CD!

They have to do SOMETHING with the crates of CD's in the warehouse that nobody is going to buy....

I guess I developed a stutter in my previous post! Oh well.

Had me laughing, Bkallday. Good point. Gotta' be careful. And you had me laughing as well, Jeff. I see the last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Bon Jovi was on Howard this past Tuesday and talked in depth about his career; from his humbling beginnings as a gopher at the Power Station to his inter-national stardom. Regardless of whether you like the new single or not, check out the interview on youtube when it gets posted. Very insightful.

Also, the day before, Lady Gaga was on Howard and had a great interview, too. She played a couple songs off of her new album, which I then bought off ITunes. That woman is pure talent.
