I'm really antsy to find out how the new Bon Jovi fares in the US.......it comes out tomorrow, so we'll see.....
Did anyone see the premiere of the Behind the Music of the Bon Jovi story on Vh1 yesterday?? I had never known just why Alec Jon Such was fired.....
Anyway, having it air yesterday was a brilliant PR move: Behind the Music is an immensely popular series and it's proven that sales actually go up after they air (like with Def Leppard, whose Greatest Hits shot up to the top ten of the Back Catalog Billboard Chart right after their episode aired). They put in several scenes from the new video and there were even TV ads for the new album. I think it'll do fine - not the wondrous savior of us all, but well enough. Plus, Bj has been able to evolve imagewise and not be seen as a total dinosaur or a joke (like Poison, for instance).
Here's hoping....
Cheers,
Jack.
