Phil X & the Drills video Too Much For My Own Good

Phil X and the Drills have released their music video for "Too Much For My Own Good" featuring Taylor Hawkins (best known as the drummer for the Foo Fighters). The song is from the Drills' EP Stupid Good Lookings, Vol. 1, which came out in May this year.

Check out the "Too Much For My Own Good" video:

What do you think?

P.S. The video dropped a day ago but I'm posting it today, which happens to be Hugh McDonald's birthday so huuuuge happy birthday to Huey! πŸ˜€

Jeanna de Waal & David Bryan perform If

The latest collaboration between David Bryan and his musical theatre partner Joe DiPietro is Diana: A True Musical Story, based on the life of Princess Diana.

Here's a video featuring Jeanna de Waal, who plays the title role, singing "If" from the musical. David accompanies her on the piano:


David also spoke to Rolling Stone about the Diana musical. Here's a snippet where he discusses the writing of the songs:
Bryan wrote different styles of music for each character. Diana’s songs are in a rock-pop style from the Eighties. Queen Elizabeth’s music sounds more regal, with horns and drums. Charles gets rock songs with strings and orchestrations. Parker Bowles gets what Bryan describes as a “light FM” sound. He made the paparazzi sounds like the Clash. “I tried to make all these styles live on top of each other, so in the songs there will be a part where the punk comes in and it’s over a classical piece and a rock & roll piece goes on top of that,” he says. “So in theory, it was easy in my brain but to do it was not so easy, but it’s fun.”
Broadway previews of Diana begin in March 2020.

Bon Jovi 2020 album preview & more

Jon Bon Jovi recently spoke with Pollstar about the upcoming album 2020, including some detail about specific songs. This part about the writing and recording of "Lower the Flag", which deals with gun violence, stood out for me:

I saw that Sunday morning, with [the] Dayton [shooting] and what had happened, and I just started strumming on the guitar, and it came and it came rather quickly over the course of maybe two days. I kept tweaking it, and I knew I had something. I was so proud of what I had but, I didn’t have a song title. I sat there and I said, “What the hell is the name of this song?” And I said, “It doesn’t really have a proper chorus,” and I was thinking of Neil Young’s “Ohio,” and telling a story. And I said, Okay well (singing) “Four dead in Ohio,” and then you go, “I guess that’s the name of this song.”  And then, when you really sit with that song, there is no second verse. (singing) “Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah” ... that might be a great hook, but it’s not a verse. And when I wrote this, I was playing it for a bunch of people, Shanks was one of them. And I said, “I don’t know why Neil, who’s so poetic and prolific, didn’t write a second verse and instead went for that.” And Shanks was like, “That’s a great hook.” I go, “Well, this song isn’t about hooks, it’s about telling this story.” And then I still had no title. That’s when I put the last line repeating what the first line did, and I said, “There’s the title, ‘Lower The Flag,’” because that’s exactly what the whole thing is about.
Even that bridge was just so different for me, (singing), “If there’s something we can talk about, let’s talk about it.” And the rhythm of that melody was something that I’d written, I got it, I did it and went in the studio with it. I had everything completely finished, and I went in with (bassist) Hughie (McDonald) and [drummer] Tico [Torres], me and Shanks. And I was playing guitar, and I’m playing the guitar on the record, and Tico starts playing, and we said, “[the drum] is not helping, it’s hindering the progress of the song.” We said, this isn’t a drum song, this isn’t what this should be. And so he flew all the way to California and didn’t play on it, because we knew what we had lyrically and just wanted to tell the story
The article mentions that Jon did a lot of writing on his own, and we've already heard that "Unbroken" sounds like solo Jon, but I do hope the album sounds like a band record. But I guess most of all I hope it's good. πŸ˜‰

Here's Jon performing "Unbroken" at the Rockefeller Center. He was joined on stage by men and women who have served in the military:

No word on an official release date for the album yet, or a tour, but Phil X and the Drills are touring Europe in March 2020 so presumably Bon Jovi won't be on the road then.

CBS Sunday Morning also did a nice story with Jon and Dorothea recently about their work with the JBJ Soul Kitchen restaurants. They're opening a new one at Rutgers University next year.

Bon Jovi releases new song Unbroken

We first heard a snippet of the new Bon Jovi song "Unbroken" in the trailer for To Be Of Service. Well, the whole song is now out, with proceeds from downloads going to the Patriotic Service Dog Foundation.

Jon announced the release on Instagram, where he also mentioned that the Bon Jovi 2020 album will be out in Spring (so presumably Autumn in the southern hemisphere).

Here's the official video for "Unbroken":

You can purchase or stream "Unbroken" now.

Not sure how I feel about this one at the moment. It was written for a documentary about war veterans with PTSD who have been helped by service dogs, and I guess it works for that purpose. But it's very literal and feels a bit clunky, unlike other songs Jon has written for films.

Having said all that, the song is benefiting a good cause and it might grow on me.

What do you think of "Unbroken"?

EDIT 11/11/19: The lyric video is out now:

New Bon Jovi song Unbroken in To Be Of Service film

To Be Of Service is an upcoming documentary about war veterans with PTSD and their service dogs. The trailer for the film features "Unbroken", one of the songs that will be on Bon Jovi's 2020 album.

You can watch the trailer below:

To Be Of Service will premiere in New York City on November 1, 2019.

The "Unbroken" lyrics appear to be:
God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hoping
That we can be unbroken
Hopefully someone can let me know if this is wrong. 😜

What do you think of the song (or at least what we've now heard of it)?

"Bad Medicine". Everett and Jon use the same vocal coach, and it pains me to say I think Everett's a better advertisement at the moment:

"I'll Be There For You". I'll never not love a good whoa-oh-oh singalong with the crowd:

Jon Bon Jovi reveals new 2020 album title

The Runaway to Paradise with Jon Bon Jovi: Mediterranean cruise is currently taking place but some big news has already emerged from it. Jon revealed the new album, slated for release early next year, will be called Bon Jovi: 2020.

Runaway to Paradise with Jon Bon Jovi logo featuring a stylised heart and winged dagger and a cruise ship.


Here's what Jon had to say about Bon Jovi: 2020, as reported by Variety:
“It’s an election year, so why not?” said the New Jersey rocker. “I couldn’t do any worse.”
The other reason for the title, he explained, was that he has a “clear vision” following the release of the band’s previous album. 2016’s “This House is Not For Sale.” 
“‘This House is Not For Sale’ dealt with personal matters, and now it’s behind us,” he said during an acoustic set. “Now I have clear vision moving forward.” 
Bon Jovi added that the album will feature more “socially conscious” themes, including songs about veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and the recent shootings in Ohio and Texas. 
“I’m very happy with it,” he said. “It’s a different record.”

Okay, sure, but are they going to tour it? Will they name they tour after the album? If the tour stretches across three years like the This House Is Not For Sale Tour, will we get the 2020 Tour in 2021 or 2022? Is the Bon Jovi store going to be flooded with JBJ for President merchandise?

In all seriousness though, I don't care too much what they call the album. I care about its contents, not the title. And I really hope it's a record I dig. But time will tell.

"Always" - Well, it sounded a lot better in London last month. "Always" wasn't a planned inclusion in the Tel Aviv set, and the crowd singing helps mask some of the vocal issues but not all:

"Bed of Roses":

Selected videos from Bucharest

"I'd Die For You" - This is pretty rough, but I can't not post the video given it's the closest thing to a rarity in this set despite being played at the previous show in Klagenfurt:

"Twist and Shout" - Jon apologised to the crowd for not being quite up to speed before the final song:

I realised "Knockout" was played for the first time this year, but I still think the song sucks (despite continuing to enjoy most of the album) so I don't care. 😜

Selected videos from Klagenfurt

"I'd Die For You" - Good to see something different. This was a belated performance for someone who's been requesting the song at previous shows:

"Always" - There were a couple of false starts after David Bryan made some uncharacteristic mistakes at the beginning:

"Bed of Roses" featuring two dance partners:

  20. These Days
  21. Livin' on a Prayer

Selected videos from Vienna

"Lay Your Hands on Me" - Front man Jon is in full flight, and the video includes some close-up shots as he goes into the crowd. Plus, it's a song where the band and audience can pick up a lot of the slack with the choruses:

"These Days" - I will never not want the band to play this song but I sort of had to brace myself before listening to this:

"Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars" - An overplayed song, but it's kinda fun to watch:


Feel free to share your thoughts and any other videos. 😊

Extras

Jon Foreman, lead singer and guitarist of support act Switchfoot, tweeted this pic of the crowd in Vienna:
And Phil X posted this backstage photo of himself with fellow guitar players Scotti Hill and Drew Shirley from Skid Row and Switchfoot, respectively:
