#30 We Rule The Night
| life lessons in Bon Jovi songs

Welcome back, Jovi friends!
Life lessons in Bon Jovi songs continues with We Rule The Night.

This is the very first life lesson about an “outtake”;
A song that was never included on the album.

We Rule The Night was written for Bon Jovi’s second album 7800 ° Fahrenheit (1985).

It is the only unreleased song (outtake) we have, from both the first and second album.
And it is the first outtake in this series, of Life lessons in Bon Jovi songs.

If you’re not familiar with the song you can listen here.
The picture with all Bon Jovi members in golden suits is from the box set 100.000.000 Bon Jovi fans can’t be wrong (2004), on which the song was released, twenty years after the date.

In this video:

1. Welcome to another episode 00:00
Of Life lessons in Bon Jovi songs.
And after the first episode of this series?
I think this is the most important one!

2. What is an “Outtake”?! 00:30
Let me fill you in!
Because we’re talking deepest layer of fandom-stuff here.

3. New discoveries
I just found three “new” outtakes even I had never heard of.
They are demos from the Slippery When Wet album (1986).
You can find these three, together with all the others, on this playlist:

5. We Rule The Night 06:25
Where this outtake is from, and how it was eventually brought to the public after 15 years.
The cd box set behind me, to which I am referring in the video, is called:
“100.000.000 Bon Jovi fans can’t be wrong” (2004)

6. The fourth link 08:41
My favorite Bon Jovi article and indispensable for this series:
– https://ultimateclassicrock.com/bon-jovi-songs-ranked/
By Tony Kuzminski.
List also covers any outtakes from the 2004 box set.
He writes anything between a few lines and a few paragraphs, of every Bon Jovi songs
(bar demos/ unreleased songs that did not appear on the Box Set)

7. It reminds me of…. what?! 09:28
We Rule The Night struck me as being familiar to some kind of 80s rock.
But which band was I reminded of?!
The article immediately filled in the blanks.

8. It’s not about lovers 10:30
I immediately assumed We Rule The Night would be about lovers.
Just like that Bruce Springsteen song (Because The Night Belongs To Lovers, live 1978)
But the lyrics are actually a lot darker.

9. The Shadow Twin
We Rule The Night is the unknown brother to another song;
One that did make it to the album!
The life lesson being…. (watch it!)
