Playing off of Elvis Presley’s 1959 album 50 Million Elvis Presley Fans Can’t Be Wrong, right down to the gold-lame suits the quartet dons on the cover, stalwart rockers Bon Jovi make a strong case that they’re one of the true populist bands of their era with a box set that serves up dozens of previously unheard and seldom heard offerings. Designed as a heaping 20-year anniversary feast for insatiable fans, the four-disc/bonus DVD collection is surprisingly vital and consistent, considering that just about everything included was initially either rejected or related to B-sides and soundtracks. The high quality of these castoffs is attributable to the band’s habit of preparing dozens of tracks for each album and cutting loose strong compositions that didn’t fit with the theme of the completed product. Thus, some stylistic stretches were left in the vaults (check out the Southside Johnny-style r&b of "Love Ain’t Nothing But a Four Letter Word"). Bon Jovi fans will find be delighted by this collection, and even skeptics may find themselves reconsidering these Jersey survivors. --Steven Stolder

Summary: I'm impressed
Comment: I'm about half way through disk 3 right now and can not believe the songs on this set. with the exception of 3 songs so far I like all rest I've heard. I do like bon jovi, but I'm not a huge fan. that being said half of these songs are as good or better than the songs that did make thier albums. I got a really good deal on this I got it from an amazon merchant for $16.50 including shipping it was used, but it is just like new. definately well spent money. there probably is $60 worth of good music here though.

Summary: Whoah what's this!?
Comment: I missed this when it first came out because I figured it was just their old albums "boxed" with a few bonus tracs like every other boxed set out there. *****But this is the boxed set of boxed sets!***** Not a rehash, but tons of unreleased Bon Jovi goodness. Top quality demos of the progressions of songs and ideas and variations of what could have been + previously unreleased tracs. A must have for any Bon Jovi fan. Great stuff.
