Destination Anywhere Jon Bon Jovi Views

General Goods

Destination Anywhere is Jon Bon Jovi's second solo album, following his successful 1990 soundtrack Blaze of Glory, from the film Young Guns II. The production is quite different from the classic rock norm that is a staple of past Bon Jovi albums, with drum loops, female backing vocals and Bon Jovi himself singing in a lower register in most of the tracks. Only one of his longtime bandmates, David Bryan, contributed to the album, though Desmond Child, co-writer of hits such as Livin' on a Prayer , plays the tuba in the song Ugly and is also one of the producers.[2]

Jon wrote what would become his second solo album, 1997's Destination Anywhere. The album received very positive reviews and was a success across Europe. It was rumored that the record company was pursuing Jon to name the record These Days, Part 2 , since the album was somewhat of a moody progression from These Days. A short movie of the same name was recorded right around the record's release, based entirely on the songs from the record and starring Jon Bon Jovi, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon and Whoopi Goldberg. Dave Stewart of Eurythmics played guitar on the record, as well as producing some of the tracks. That year Jon Bon Jovi earned a BRIT Award for Best International Male and also won a MTV Europe Music Award for Best Male.

This film captures the essence of Jon Bon Jovi, the lead singer of one of the prime players in the legion of pop-metal bands that took '80s radio by storm. Most of the film is a short narrative loosely based on the songs from his 1997solo album {^Destination Anywhere}, and features Jon Bon Jovi and Demi Moore as a young couple struggling with alcoholism and the death of their young child. Also included are three Jon Bon Jovi music videos: Midnight in Chelsea , Queen of New Orleans , and Destination Anywhere . ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi
