"Who knows? This record might be over in three weeks. Or it might have 10 singles on it. I just found myself listening to this kind of music, and finding that they were telling stories. That's something we've been doing our whole career. So it was very much a fit for us," Bon Jovi said.
So what's the AP's take on the album?
this album appears to be personal, filled with stories inspired by the band members' lives, loves and losses. And for a group that has made every effort to avoid tabloid headlines and VH1-style "Behind the Music" stories, the band has had more than enough of those moments to go around in the past few years.
And here, guitar player Richie Sambora explains part of the inspiration for Lost Highway, his life.
"It's interesting, the changes I've gone through in my life. I think I've brought a lot of the dramatics here within the lyric in a bunch of different places - just from the stuff that's been going on with me. I think even the songs I didn't write with Jon, I think he used me as his muse."
