  • Thin lizzy give it the hole gang kinda feeling these make it seem camp...

  • This is great, but I'll always love and prefer Thin Lizzy. But this is still REALLY good! :D

  • LOL Thin Lizzy FTW!!!

  • Fuck all of you, this is just as or better than.

  • Wow. Fuck this, I want thin lizzy

  • I'm a huge bon jovi fan but the original is unreachable awesome

  • Bon Jovi aint got shit on Thin Lizzy

  • @ZachCremins69 not necicearily true

  • thin lizzy way better bon jovi and got the stuff to measure up

  • shoot me someone -.-'?

  • i dont care if this better or bad cover..its for a foundation,,

  • I like both versions of "The Boys Are Back In Town".

  • @1962drob Bon Jovi does a GREAT cover.ROCK ON!!!!!!

  • @MrMegaFredzeppelin They sure do BRO!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!

  • Its a great song. I dont give a fuck about who sings it!

  • ehhh all i can say is nice try jovi

  • Bon Jovi should stick to their own songs

  • una verdadeira desgraça! fuck disgrace!

  • Vaya puta mierda de versión!!

  • Comment removed

  • gay, fuck off

    thin lizzy have attitude

  • GREAT COVER!

  • How to ruin a great song? Ask Bon Jovi! Crappy version!

  • Everybody who covers this tune gets the drums wrong. The original has a swing/r&b rhythm, and the covers always have a straightforward 4/4 beat. Other than that, this version isn't bad.

  • unless phil linnot sings it,it's a piece of s##t

  • to be honest. it wouldent matter who sung this song. it's just a great song. just Thin Lizzy sounds the best!

  • still one of the best bands.

    american bands rock the world.

  • This is a real cool cover of Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town".

  • i love BON JOVI

  • if you want to complain about the cover thats fine but you need to understand the album was put together as a tribute to all the bands being covered that have lost a member do to a drug or alcohol related death so weather you like it or not its not to make you happy its for the great music we will never hear again

  • i love this song

  • If you don't like them stop cursing and don't listen to them!

    And I reckon that this version matches the orginal.

    So shut it!!!!!

  • This is pretty dreadful.

    If anyone wants to hear an interesting version of this tune check out the Huey Lewis cover.

  • I became an atheist when I heard this cover.

  • Good Song !!!

  • Holy shit,the time machine is working ...I just listened a Glam Rock band from 80's...

  • dont get me wrong i love the original and its the best but this version is far more entertaining! Long live Bon Jovi!!!!!!

  • @rambo122222 Ha! The thin lizzy version is better by far. But this is awesome

  • I love both versions and for people who don't know how to have an open mind? Well, quite honestly, YOU SUCK!!!!!

  • @CaptainShinyJunk

    Get off of your high horse douchebag. This cover is shit.

  • well i like the cover! love how each artist does something different with a song!

  • No kidding; It's a FREAKING Cover of course the original is gonna be better! It's like GnR doing Knockin' on Heavens Door, and it's still shit compared to Bob Dylan. You just can't compare. They had to to get rights to do this song too, by the way. So obviously Thin Lizzy approved. Regardless, hundreds, and countless bands have covered this song, and this version is great.

  • I Like it

  • im a fan of jovi and it is shit

  • wtf is this shit..... it's nothing compared to the original!!

  • srry people, but everclear has covered this obviously better :P

  • this sucks ass

  • kiss me im irish!no wayyyy tin lizzy is the only way

  • Any song sung by Bon Jovi Rocks. RRHOF this year

  • barf,........hurl........girl band

  • I really like this version... can't wait to see Bon Jovi get their due in the R&RHOF... they are on the ballot for the first time this year!

  • i like thin lizzys version more, bon jovi as it sucks

  • @Chueqitoo please don't be a fool, it's a very good cover, and of course, it isn't the original, obiously the original it's the best, but don't underestimate the covers, they're very good and make cool versions of the originals

  • covers are supposed to be different just like when thin lizzy covered whiskey in the jar from the dubliners

  • This is a really cool version.

  • Bon Jovi sucks the original is much better

  • i lost it when i heard 0:43

  • Fuck whoever's complaining. This is a cover, it was supposed to be different. I like it! I love Thin Lizzy and Bon Jovi!

  • not bad - but...well....lets just say its not thin lizzy eh lol :D wat else is there to say?

  • wow what a basterdization of this song. i'm at 25 seconds, and will listen to no more

  • i like thin lizzy's version better but bon jovi aint bad.

  • Comment removed

  • not good, just not good i want my 45 seconds back.

  • this blows

  • There have been so many musicians that have tried to copy this classic,but the original is still the best.

  • @sammys70 This is the best version I've heard anyone try to do.

  • this sucks. i want my minute back....

  • this just doesn't have the intsensity that thin lizzy's does. this feels too forced. good effort though.

  • they didn't think they were adding anything "special" to the song, they just made a cover for so fun. why even compare... i think this is great!

  • @fuckyeahbonjovi They did it basically live in the studio.

  • @fuckyeahbonjovi they did it their own way lol

  • This is one of the better cover versions, but the original is still the best!

  • Sorry for my words, I love Thin Lizzy , but this version KICKS ASSES!!!

    What a vocal harmony in chorus... fenomenal!

  • Thin Lizzy's is heavier... so I like it more.

  • Not a bad cover. But nothing beats the original. that goes for anything ^.^

  • This is an amazing cover.I don't care what anyone says.They did an amazing job on this.Great vocals,and love the intro.If they released this as a single back in 1989 when they were larger than life(not that they aren't nowadays) it would have been a huge hit.Hopefully if they one day decide to release deluxe versions of all their albums this will turn up on New Jersey along with all the other un-released songs that never made that album.

  • @WEINBAUER I hope so. New Jersey was meant to be a double disk. There's some bootlegs floating about somewhere but I haven't got it.

  • @lukerobin01 They really need to do deluxe editions of their cds.I mean they are the biggest touring act out there besides The Stones,and they sell alot of cds.Why not give the fans what they want?And not another box set of just demos.

  • @WEINBAUER Yeah, or combine the idea of dual disks and demo's. Like for example re-release These Days but on the second disk have the songs that didn't quite make the cut for that album. A lot of the time they're just as good as the songs that were included.

  • @lukerobin01 I still don't know how Social Disese made Slippery When Wet over Edge Of A Broken Heart.Or how did Last Cigarette make Have A Nice Day over Dirty Little Secret?I know it was on the import versions of that cd,but it should have been on there everywhere.I would like to get the remix versions of some of their songs that were either on older cd singles,or promos.

  • What did Bon Jovi think he was adding to this song? Attitude?  Intensity? What a joke.

  • Thin Lizys version pulled out a cleaver and slit this ones throat!

  • thin izzy> bon jovi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • very tepid and bland.

  • Ok theres a version of this song Bonjovi did and i cant find it, in it jon yells "sing it richie!" and richie starts singing a few parts, ive only heard/ seen it once, if anyone finds/knows of it can you message me? thanks :D

  • why cant people stop riding thin lizzys songs for god sake

  • I(sn't this an outtake from the album New Jersey?

  • Thin Lizzy is the maker of the original song :)

    It is so much better performed of Thin Lizzy ; even live!

  • alguien sabe como se llama la pelicula y donde la puedo encontrar y comprarla

  • @ratf1974 La pelicula donde aparecia esta cancion (la versión de Bon Jovi) se llama "Navy Seals", conocida en Latinoamérica como "Comando Tiburón".

  • Thin Lizzy was an inspiration to the band...at least one of them. I love this song, especially because Bon Jovi covered it.

  • ♫ The Boys Are Back In Town ♫

  • why is this marked as spam

    thats pretty much bull shit -.-

    i think they are lookalike so what ever i love bonjovi and thin lizzy also ^^

  • man Thin Lizzy's version blows this one out of the water. Downey, Gorham, Robertson, and Lynott cannot possibly be beat

  • thin lizzy's version is soo much better !

  • @benni9119

    ... but then again, this version is SO much better than the Huey Lewis one... :P

  • @benni9119 soo true..

  • @benni9119 obviusly XD

  • @benni9119 i totally agree!

  • @benni9119 lol..you're so stupid.. of course thin lizzy's version of this song better. original song is always better than the cover. it's harder to make a song out of nothing than cover it...

  • @benni9119 No its not u dumbass. What an idiot.

  • thin lizzy ....jajajajajajaja

  • nice song

  • why did they cover this song?

  • in the movie "Navy seals" amazing trailer with this song , eighteen years ago.....este fue el tema central de la pelicula "Comando tiburon" fue un buen trailer , si alguien lo tiene , subalo por favor y me avisa....

  • whats the name of bon jovi's singel?

  • I LOVE BONJOVI MORE THAN LIFE:)

    ahhhhh,

    ive been obsessed with him and them for like 5 months now, and its been a lifetime:D

  • I LOVE BON JOVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive listened to them since i was like 2 and im 15 now lol

  • Where is that taken from?

  • Good version!

  • great cover rocks

  • this is one great cover

  • Shows you how tough Thin Lizzy is to play, even Sambora had to slow it down and that's one of TL's easiest songs!

  • if you wanna here a good cover of this song look up hewi lewis's one

  • Not Bad

  • People give Bon Jovi shit (me included) but this is actually a good cover. I've always loved this version.

  • This is good
