Bon Jovi: New New Year's Eve Photo

  

That looks like a Takemine EF341SC, but that's not THE Takemine EF341SC pictured below, unless they Photoshopped it.


Cause why would that Jensen character be playing Jon Bon Jovi's guitar?  Besides the obvious of course.

Wait, it's Jon's EF341SC Stunt double.  Why risk it being stolen by some minimum wage earning staffer who would sell it on eBay that afternoon.

Bon Jovi: Interview with David about Memphis

And it's not just written words it's audio files and this HUGE picture of David as well (look the Joker is peeking out).



As the resident Bon Jovi fan on the inMusic.ca team, I was tasked with interviewing co-founding member and longtime keyboardist David Bryan about his upcoming play 'Memphis' coming to the Toronto stage in December. This is the second theatrical production that David has written the music and lyrics. Memphis has received much critical acclaim on Broadway winning several Tony Awards and launching a multi-city tour. For more information on tickets, you can visit www.dancaptickets/memphis.

Recently, David called in to chat with us - here's how it went down.

Why did you get involved with 'Memphis'?

How do you find writing music for a particular era?

How do you balance touring & songwriting for plays?

Did you skip a Bon Jovi show for the Tony Awards?

Will you be taking 'Memphis' to a movie format similar to 'Rock of Ages'?

What does writing for plays give you that Bon Jovi doesn't?

Would you ever consider combining both loves and turning a Bon Jovi album into a musical similar to Green Day?

Whose appreciation means most to you in life?

What has been the single best thing that money and fame has given you?

What is the biggest misconception about you?

Bon Jovi: Have a Little Faith in Me

So Jon, wasn't completely unfamiliar with the song Have a Little Faith in Me, it was performed several times on the Bounce and Have a Nice Day Tours:







Can't Turn Me Loose doesn't come up under any Youtube searches that maybe Jon has done it at benefit shows or anything, but its an Otis Redding cover (This was in The Blues Brothers movie {the FAR SUPERIOR Original one with Dan Akroyd & John Belushi not the CRAPTASTIC BB2000 with Jim Belushi}).

On a somewhat related note, the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas has a piece of the fuselage of the plane Otis Redding died in:


I just stood there for a minute and was like this is how you represent Otis?  

I thought it was quite distasteful.

Of course today its not so bad after listening to Jay-Z & Kanye's opus to Otis, titled Otis (the only good thing I can say about that song is it will introduce a whole other generation to Otis Redding and it would have been a better song if Jay-Z and Kanye had not been on the track,  IMHO).

Only 30 seconds of each song but it's better than nothing.  The rest of the soundtrack can be found on the NYE website  http://newyearsevemovie.warnerbros.com/index.html



Can't Turn You Loose



Have a Little Faith In Me

Don't know if Jon wrote/co wrote either of them.

WaterTower Music has announced a soundtrack album for Garry Marshall’s ensemble comedy New Year’s Eve. The album includes a number of songs from the movie by artists, including Jon Bon Jovi, actress Lea Michele, Kate York, Goo Goo Dolls, P!nk, Katie Herzig, Charles Brown, Duncan and Sophie B. Hawkins. The soundtrack will be released on December 6, 2011. None of the original score by John Debney is included on the album, but a separate score album might be released at a later date (just as with Marshall’s previous movie Valentine’s Day). For a behind the scenes look at the composer working on the score for the film, visit YouTube. New Year’s Eve stars Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Sofia Vergara, Jon Bon Jovi, Hilary Swank, Lea Michele, Zac Efron, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Josh Duhamel, Seth Meyers, Hector Elizondo, Abigail Breslin, Michelle Pfeiffer and Katherine Heigl. The movie will be released in theaters on December 9. For updates on the film, visit the official movie website.
Here’s the album track list:

1. Can’t Turn You Loose – Jon Bon Jovi with Lea Michele
2. 2012 (It Ain’t The End) – Jay Sean featuring Nicki Minaj
3. New Year – Kate York
4. Life Is A Bomb – Sophie B. Hawkins
5. Have A Little Faith In Me – Jon Bon Jovi
6. Light Up The Sky – Duncan
7. Better Days – Goo Goo Dolls
8. Auld Lang Syne – Lea Michele
9. Raise Your Glass – P!nk
10. Best Day Of Your Life – Katie Herzig
11. Whattaya Say – Jacob Saylor
12. Bringing In A Brand New Year – Charles Brown

Amazon has a page for this, but no cover art or price.



A really good soundtrack that I just got for a movie I hope to be seeing shortly is The Muppet Movie Soundtrack. Because I would rather see a pig fornicate with a frog than Twilight. But the sound track is pretty good. :)

Of course many of us have copies of the show.  :)  So if you don't ask a friendly Bon Jovi fan if they'll burn you a copy. 

Don't ask me. I've been told I'm not friendly.
