I just recently came across this set and, being a devoted Bon Jovi fan, thought I'd like to hear the songs that didn't make the published recordings. They are so great! Many are familiar songs that actually started very differently from the published songs. Many are wonderful songs that the group just didn't feel fit the demographic of a given album. There are 4 great CD's, and I think the gem of the set is the DVD with Jon's interview in which he talks about the group's survival over the years, the band members all reminiscing about the various songs on the albums and the stories behind them, actual tour footage covering the whole world and the whole Bon Jovi phenomenon including backstage with the band. It's a great look inside this fantastic band and their music. There is just something very "real" about these guys - they love what they do and it shows. This set is their tribute to the fans who allow them to continue to work at what they love. There is also an excellent booklet included with pictures, notes from the band members, and the background stories behind the songs.Read full review
I've been a Bon Jovi fan from the beginning and realized I didn't have this box set. Bon Jovi's music just gets inside my head (in a good way) and his lyrics could apply to anyone. He writes and sings about what's going on in his life or in the world at large and is a product of the times it was written. Because the songs in this box set were never released, I wanted to hear them to find out the band's "other" moods. Also, it's the only album in Bon Jovi's collection that has Richie, Tito and Dave singing and I wanted to hear them. I went looking on Ebay for it since I wanted it at a good price. With 4 children under 10 at home, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I found it here at Ebay and it was as great as I thought it would be. Songs I hadn't heard before are now floating around my head and it's amazing that they never made it onto an album. The DVD that was included also showed the band in the studio and just discussing why a certain song wasn't on an album or why it was chosen for this box set. It was great to hear from all of the band members and not just Jon and Richie.Read full review

Bon Jovi really made this CD set a big hit. This is the best way to say thanks to all of his fans who bought one of his 100,000,000 albums sold or to anyone who likes his music.. This is 4 CDs of never realesed or demos of Bon Jovi's work. He really treats his fans when he allows Tico Torres(drummer), Richie Sambora(backing vocals and lead guitarist), and David Bryan(keyboardist) to all sing a different song. Basically you get to listen to every member of the band sing. The DVD is on rare interviews and messages from the band. This is a must buy CD
This is a great selection of many never before released songs...I love it!
