We Weren't Born to Follow
BON JOVI BLASTS OUT NEW SINGLE, “WE WEREN’T BORN TO FOLLOW”
FIRST SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM, THE CIRCLE, SET FOR NOV. 10th RELEASE
“We weren’t born to follow, come on get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow, you go to hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow, believe that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren’t born to follow, you got to stand up for what you believe…”
(Bon Jovi, “We Weren’t Born To Follow”)
(August 19, 2009 – New York, NY) 2009 has turned into a landmark year like no other for Island Records group Bon Jovi, and now the band is launching their new single, “We Weren’t Born To Follow” which premiered on radio Tuesday, August 18th. “We Weren’t Born To Follow” is the first single pick from THE CIRCLE, in stores November 10th.
“We Weren’t Born To Follow” was written (and co-produced) by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and was produced by John Shanks, who worked with Bon Jovi on their last two albums, Have A Nice Day (2005) and Lost Highway (2007). Have A Nice Day made history when it debuted with the largest first week sales ever in the band’s career. Lost Highway made history again when it surpassed the first week sales of its predecessor and gave Bon Jovi their first #1 Billboard album debut.
Bon Jovi has set the standard for more than two decades as one of the most successful rock bands in the world. Globally, the Grammy Award-winning band has sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans. Bon Jovi’s previous album, Lost Highway, debuted at #1 in the U.S. and around the world. The resulting “Lost Highway World Tour” – which famously came to a close with an historic free concert in New York City’s Central Park and two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden – was ranked as 2008’s #1 top-selling tour around the world according to Billboard and Pollstar.
NEW SINGLE: WE WEREN'T BORN TO FOLLOW
Listen to Bon Jovi's first single "We Weren't Born to Follow" from their highly anticipated album "The Circle" available on November 10, 2009.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings From New Jersey.
Though there has not been much on the news front these days things are about to change. I don't even know where to begin. We are about to start the journey into the biggest most exciting 2 years we have seen. The new album "The Circle" is done and is slated to come out November 10th 2009.
We know what comes right after a release of a record... A NEW TOUR!!! A BIG tour. Bringing the band to some places that have not seen Bon Jovi in many years. This tour is setting itself up to be the biggest tour they have done in years. Some of you may have heard a leaked version of "We Weren't Born To Follow" this morning. Stay tuned to your local stations as the single will be released this week.
Some of the biggest changes to Backstage with JBJ are about to be released. We have teamed up with one of the most cutting edge companies to bring our club to another level. When I say major change I mean MAJOR. Don't worry this kind of change is for the better. I myself was reluctant on this change but they have already proven to us how the overall fan experience will be like no other you have seen. The site will become the most fan based community it has ever been. It will truly be about you the fan and the man and the band.
The events being planned are amazing. Here's a hint..... 4 days in Hawaii anyone??? How about London??
There are going to be many events, and fly away events on this coming tour and you really don't want to miss these. I will be posting more about the site and when the new changes will happen soon.
It's good to be back and brush off the dust. It's time to ROCK again!

Bon Jovi Get “Back to Rock & Roll” On November Album
Rolling Stone / Rock And Roll Daily - 8/18/09, 12:18 pm EST
Bon Jovi’s last album, 2007’s Lost Highway, saw the longtime Jersey tunesmiths veer off into Nashville territory. And while the album was a sizable hit with their fanbase, on the group’s forthcoming album, guitarist Richie Sambora promises a return to the group’s roots. “It’s back to rock & roll for us, man,” Sambora tells Rolling Stone. “Jon and I had a wonderful time making it. Very proud of it — just getting down to mixing it right now. We hit a very prolific period in our songwriting.” Sambora reveals the band was considering churning out a greatest-hits album, but reports, “We started having so much fun making this record, that we decided we would do a studio album first. It sounds fresh — I think we reinvented ourselves again.”
The album will be out in November, and RS can report the title currently floating around cyberspace is not correct. While he couldn’t reveal the actual album name, Sambora did muse on the band’s evolution since going a bit country on their last LP: “I think what happened is the fact that we made the kind of Nashville-influenced record, and it created this vacuum now for a big rock record from us. There’s a continued evolution… it doesn’t sound like any other previous record. Everybody that we’ve been playing it for has been real turned on by it, and we’re certainly happy with how it turned out.”
Rest easy longtime fans, Sambora promises that the disc is unmistakably Bon Jovi. “There’s going to be some big choruses on there. It sounds like Bon Jovi, but it sounds fresh. We experimented with a lot of new sounds and had a really good time working with [producer] John Shanks, who is also a really good guitar player, so he and I did a lot of ‘weaseling’ with the guitar sounds. There are a lot of really good guitar sounds and new kind atmospheres on the new Bon Jovi record, that I think makes it really modern. I think people are going to dig it, man. And it rocks hard.”
And will Bon Jovi be hitting the road in support of studio album number 11? “Next year. 2010, probably spring time we’ll get going. And we’re going to go for a long time. It’s going to be a big one.
