I Thought This Was Nu Bon Jovi

Picture it: Ohio, the CVS counter.

I'm standing in line and waiting for my scripts and I start paying attention to the music playing. It sounds oddly like Jon Bon Jovi's voice... but not quite. I kept trying to discern just who or what is playing... and I finally Googled the lyrics. Turns out, I was listening to Shinedown's "Daylight." I'm telling you the song went from country, to Bon Jovi to nu metal for me without any context. As soon as I knew I was hearing a Shinedown track, it all made sense, but man, "Daylight" is far from The Sound of Madness.

"Daylight" is from the 2022 album Planet Zero. The song isn't really played on Octane, hence why I wasn't able to place it. Oh well, happy Saturday to all!

Bon Jovi x Pitbull 'Now or Never' - Song Available

Here it is! The new Bon Jovi and Pitbull track "Now or Never." To me it just sounds like "It's My Life" with Pitbull rapping a little and his signature beats but it's catchy and people will probably like it. Also, I am expecting "It's My Life" to chart again because of this, so this collaboration was smart on Bon Jovi's part. What do you think?

Bon Jovi & Pitbull Announce Collab Track 'Now Or Never'

A remix of "It's My Life" is coming soon!

Jon Bon Jovi and Pitbull are friends and they've performed together in the past. Now Pitbull, a.k.a. "Mr. Worldwide" will team up with Bon Jovi for "Now Or Never." The remix is coming out November 14, the same day as the Latin Grammy awards. Yes, both Pitbull and Jon Bon Jovi will be performing at that awards show. I am assuming it will be together for the first live performance of this new song, but we'll see.

Also, remember when Joe Perry recorded with Pitbull? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

New Bon Jovi Book Will Celebrate 40 Years

Genesis Publications will release Bon Jovi Forever - a book celebrating the band's 40 years together. Jon Bon Jovi wrote some of the text too, so that is cool. It looks like this will be a nice coffee-table book. It will be signed, numbered and include a 7" vinyl too.

You can register your interest on the Genesis website to have a chance to buy when sales open. No price or official release date information available yet. This will sell out fast.

If You Collect Funko Pop Figurines...

For fans of Bon Jovi and Funko Pop - be sure to add the Jon Bovi Jovi doll to your collection. These things always sell out fast. I am not a collector, but many of you are so enjoy!

To Coincide With The New Bon Jovi Album...

Bon Jovi's new album Forever is out now. Apparently JBJ's Nashville officially opens tomorrow, too. I honestly didn't know a Bon Jovi restaurant was coming, but it seems cool enough. It's on Broadway in Nashville, TN so crazy expensive real estate right there. Yes, I want to visit this place. Maybe during Bengals vs. Titans weekend this fall!
