    Released: 2003

This Left Feels Right is a remix album by Bon Jovi, released in 2003, in which the band recorded new versions of songs from previous albums, it charted at No. 14 on Billboard 200.[1] It's a "trip down memory lane", as Jon Bon Jovi described the album. It features revamped versions of many of Bon Jovi's biggest hits, often in a more sombre style.[citation needed] Many of the 80's hard hitting chart-rockers are presented in a different light as soulful ballads.[citation needed]


Production

[edit | edit source]

The music was recorded in 2003, and produced by Patrick Leonard, Jon Bon Jovi, and Richie Sambora. The album consists of new versions of the band's songs from previous albums. It's a "trip down memory lane" as Jon Bon Jovi described the album.[citation needed]

Two new songs, "Last Man Standing" and "Thief of Hearts", were written and recorded for inclusion of the album. "Last Man Standing" was a song revealing lead singer Jon Bon Jovi's anger toward the state of the music industry. Bon Jovi believed that it would become more difficult for artists to find success in the music industry. This was Bon Jovi's reason for later removing the two new songs from the album, however Last Man Standing was later reworked and turned into a much more heavy aggressive rock song for inclusion on Bon Jovi's 2005 studio album, Have a Nice Day, a somewhat opposite effect of the This Left Feels Right project.

Release

[edit | edit source]

The 2003 rendition of "Wanted Dead or Alive" was released as a promotional single and also had a video produced, which had the same format as "Wanted Dead or Alive (Live version)", which was a single from the One Wild Night Live 1985–2001 album.

For the Russian and CIS release Olivia d'Abo's part in Livin' on a Prayer was recorded by Russian superstar Alsou in Bon Jovi's studio. This version was played on Russian radio stations to promote the release and got positive reviews by Bon Jovi fans, but Olivia's version appeared on the Russian CD due to Universal Music Russia's decision.

The original version of "Last Man Standing" and "Thief of Hearts" were both later released as part of the box set 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong and are also included as live versions on the This Left Feels Right Live DVD.
