I discovered Bon Jovi as a teenager in the mind 90's, with this song being one of my favorites. The dark side of this song encouraged me to seek darker realms, first venturing into classic new metal and ultimately black metal. At 25 today I appreciate Bon Jovi very much and my favorite genre has settled into some kind of progressive, dark heavy metal mix.
These Days is one of the most brilliantly written/recorded albums ever made.The one thing I admired about 80's icons Bon Jovi and Def Leppard and even a band like Warrant was they made a fresh new different style of music in the 90's than they did in the 80's.Motley Crue did try it as well with 2 albums that alot of their fans hate,but I think were great.
@lonelyrider100 this album is awesome but doesnt hold a candle to keep the faith or the solo album blaze of glory but if he can count blaze of glory on the bands greatest hits and do sante fe live then it can be counted as band work even though its not but the blaze of glory album the entire thing is just a mega masterpiece
@MarioM9511 DUDE!!!! You said "Boss" as in only a master of art could create something so meaningful! I FREAKING LOVE when people say "Boss" for that! You're fuckin' awesome! Ahaha!
@DiscordsApple even though im a man i love bed of roses haha but listen to sante fe blaze of glory dry county bang a drum miracle something to believe in these days and many more these songs prove that guns n roses had fuck all on bon jovi
I used to listen to that song last year when I went through my own absolute hell...It is such a sad song and I always had to cry when I listened to it...Gosh, Richie is GOD!
Saw Bon Jovi at Milton keynes in 1996 and they played this song live. It was awesome! I think they played about 10 songs from this album at that show, which was pretty good as I loved "These Days".
These Days was one of their best. Lyrically it is the best. I wish they would do this live. Jon could really act this out. For the die hards, we would love to see him act this out. I would swap this for Living on a Prayer in a heatbeat. I would also love to hear hear Dirty Little Secret and If I could Make Living Outta Loving You Live. They are good siongwriters. XX
I think this is up there as one of Bon Jovi's greatest songs. These Days was the band's least commercially successful album, but a lot of fans rate it as their best. And the tour that supported it wasn't too bad either!! Anyone remember the circus stage?
@entersandman2909 For good reason - 7800 is the only Bon Jovi album I actually hate. I don't like one song on it and it's the only one I don't own but will buy to complete my collection. These Days... on my list of top 3 albums of all time
@harshawatching- It is very beautiful, but I would have to disagree. ;) I think Never Say Goodbye has to be the or at least at the very top of the most beautiful Bon Jovi song(s) ever! :D I Love You Jon Bon Jovi! :)
Forgot how good this song was, one of the best on the album. This album as a whole is the best Bon Jovi album for me, such a deeper and more mature sound.
extreme soulful song...soo many different feelings...and man, the guitar solo??!pure guitar ownage! richie is the best...lil bit melancholic, but everytime i hear this song it remembers me of how beatiful minor is ...soo goood
Amazing song, from probably the best ablum they ever made !
