[edit] Talkbox

What is Richie Sambora saying through the talkbox/vocoder in this song? I know on the original recording it sounds like "Whoa whoa whoa..." but I heard a live version and it sounded like "Jon Bon Jovi." --D-Day Somebody talk to me. Please somebody! Anybody! 13:36, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fear

I don't know who keeps adding "Fear" under references in other songs - a similarity in one line is not a reference! You may as well say that "Always" ("If you told me to cry for you I could / If you told me to die for you I would") is referencing the song "I'd die for you" ("I'd die for you / I'd cry for you"). Bon Jovi often use some common cliches in their work, but it doesn't mean they are referencing previous songs.

[edit] Cover Versions

If Jordin Sparks' version on American Idol is mentioned, isn't it only fair to mention Lukas Rossi's reworked version on Rockstar: Supernova?

[edit] "Trickle Down" vs "anti-union"

I removed the conclusion that being at a gore convention and statements of the author implying he disagrees with Reagan's economic policies is any determination of whether the song or its author are anti-union or not. These are all orthogonal. The song could be both anti-"Trickle Down" and anti-union and the author could be a gore supporter. The facts given do not support the removed conclusion Reboot 00:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
