I am a massive Bon Jovi fan, and have been lucky enough to see them live on three occasions. I recently bought this box set, having downloaded it previously as it was cheaper to do that, but then decided I really wanted to own a copy, as it is a must for any Bon Jovi fan to have in their collection.

Included in the set is also a booklet with many fans testimonials and explanations and thoughts from Jon Bon Jovi on the band's career and songs.
What surprised me the most about this collection is just what good value for money it really is, as you are getting 4 cds and a dvd full of unreleased material, apart from two tracks which have appeared on movie soundtracks. All of these are above average and excellent quality, and I couldn't help but wonder why some of the tracks featured did not end up on Bon Jovi's studio albums! Although Jon Bon Jovi himself once said he has made some errors of judgement when deciding which tracks to put on their albums, due to the amount of songs Bon Jovi write and sometimes due to a track not fitting in with the 'theme' of the album, and it is interesting to note that the band's big hit 'Living On A Prayer' almost never made it onto the album!
The accompanying DVD contains archive footage of the band as well as interviews and a bit messing about behind the scenes! The CDs have been put together so that each CD has a certain 'feel' to it, there are 50 tracks, most of which are new, some re-workings/demo's of old songs, ( Always and Someday I'll Be Saturday Night ) and a couple of tracks which featured in movies. All the band members also feature as 'lead vocalists' on self-penned tracks - Richie Sambora, who is also a fantastic vocalist as well as guitarist sings 'If I Can't Have Your Love', Tico Torres (drummer) takes the vocal on his track 'Only In My Dreams', and David Bryan (keyboards) on 'Memphis Lives In Me', from the musical 'Memphis'. Some of the stand-out tracks for me on this collection include - These Arms Are Open All Night (which has become one of my favourite Bon Jovi Tracks), If I Can't Have You Love, The Radio Saved My Life Tonight, and Satellite.
I really felt after buying this and listening to it that I had bought 4 new Bon Jovi CD's all at once! It is certainly no greatest hits collection, anthology, or a box set of sub-standard songs which never made it to the album, and is testament to how Bon Jovi have continued to sell millions of albums and play to sell-out stadiums, whilst other bands come and go.
All in all a must-have for any Bon Jovi fan to complete your collection.It is currently available on Amazon at £23.98 or Play.com £23.99 with free delivery.

Review of 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong... (The Premiere Collection/+DVD) [Digipak] - Bon Jovi
Advantages: Bon Jovi OVERLOAD! Disadvantages: Not all good tracks
I was prompted to write this review as I am listening to the album right now! (Someday I'll Be Saturday Night.....what a song!)
All I can really say about this album is that it is great, I love nearly every track, there are very few I dislike and even then I will still listen to them because it is more work to change track and they aren't all that bad!
This is a typical Bon Jovi album, some heavy rock, some softer rock and some in the middle. Also, ... ...and solos, some of the guitar solos being great!
It is very hard to compare this to other Bon Jovi songs albums as there is so much music here on one album, that it includes all their other albums!
The rather impressive track list reads as follows:
CD 1
1. Why Aren't You Dead?
2. The Radio Saved My Life Tonight 3. Taking It Back 4. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night (Original) 5. Miss Fourth Of July 6. Open All Night 7. These Arms Are Open All Night ...

Advantages: Big range of tracks, some real gems Disadvantages: Some stinkers
This boxset was released in November 04, to mark 20 years of JBJ playing together, and comprises of outtakes and B-sides from previous albums.
When I was buying this (I dowloaded it, so didn't get the DVD unfortunately), I thought I was paying for a lot of demos and 'prototype' songs, but it was a good price (£6.99 the lot), so I was hoping it might yield a few good songs. I was pleasantly surprised when I found was that almost every song was of ... ...good enough for single release.
Although the boxset is listed under 'heavy metal', something I wouldn't really agree with, as this transcends genres, the brilliant thing about Bon Jovi is that he can carry off any track with real emotion and make every song sound very different - not an easy feat considering there are 50 songs on this boxset.
The music moves from piano ballads, and acoustic guitar, to lekky and bass, with some songs that seem to ...

Album Notes
Full title: 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong... This release includes a bonus DVD. Bon Jovi: Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi (vocals, guitar); Hugh McDonald (bass guitar); Tico Torres (drums); Alec John Such. Additional personnel include: Dave Stewart, Eric Bazilian, Garo Yellin, Jerry Cohen, Joe Perry, Kenny Aronoff, Lance Quinn, Mark Hudson, Pino Palladino, Shawn Pelton, Kurt Johnston, Rick Valenti, Jeff Kazee, Carol Brooks, Bobby Bandiera. Producers: Pat Leonard; Andy Johns; Jon Bon Jovi; Richie Sambora Compilation Producer: Obie O'Brien. Liner Note Authors: Pierre Robert; Jon Bon Jovi. To commemorate both the band's two-decade mark in the music industry and the selling of 100 million records, Bon Jovi culled together this four-CD/one-DVD collection. An homage to Elvis Presley, both in the title and cover concept (with each group member wearing a gold lame outfit), this set pays tribute to Bon Jovi's fans, many of whose written testimonials are sprinkled throughout the accompanying photo-packed booklet. Jon Bon Jovi also contributes explanations of specific songs and his own thoughts about the band's 20-year journey. Most importantly, the 50 tracks that make up the audio portion of FANS reinforce how this New Jersey outfit has managed to survive in a fickle market for so long--a wealth of well-written tunes built on a foundation of great hooks, heartfelt sentiment, and well-honed musicianship. There's plenty to sift through here, including demos of much-loved favorites ("Someday I'll Be Saturday Night"), soundtrack contributions ("Edge of a Broken Heart") and solid international B-sides ("Ordinary People"). Most impressive is the above-average amount of previously unreleased fare (including lead-vocal performances from each band member). The DVD is filled with rare archival material, including interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, making the set essential for Bon Jovi's millions of fans.
