Maybe it's been mentioned but do we know or can we guess what songs from Burning Bridges were written after WAN? With the two new song released now, we have 21 issued unbder the THINFS title. With a few songs from that era from Burning Bridges, it can make two new albums from 2015 to 2018.

A Teardrop To The Sea
We Don't Run (already on THINFS)
Burning Bridges

Those are for sure. What about the others? Blind Love and Saturday/Sunday are olderf or sure.

There's no further evidence on other songs as far as I'm aware of.

Who Would You Die For and Fingerprints - I'd rate them post-2013 as well, but that's just a guessing
Life Is Beautiful - still guessing that this was the unused song from the Peter Pan movie back in the HAND era that ended up here
I'm Your Man - sounds like it was done during the Sex Sells era, but I can't imagine that they had gone so far back in the catalogue for the album

Might have started out during that era, but isn't John Shanks a co-writer on that one?

Saturday/Sunday is from the The Circle sessions. I'm curious about Who Would You Die For, given the strong vocal.

Were the credits released with the CD? I don't think I've ever checked on that.

Musically, I'd put Who Would You Die For (from the overall vibe) close to Teardrop in terms of the time frame. Doesn't fit with any other album's sound somehow. But vocally, I'd rate this one as far back as the HAND era because his voice sounds so raw and still original on the "I wanna know..." part.
So, in conclusion, I have absolutely no idea where to put that one.

Nope, they were up on BonJovi.com, including who played and performed on each track. They're gone now, though. But according to Wikipedia, Shanks co-wrote I'm Your Man. It also lists Billy Falcon for Who Would You Die For.

Giving the album another listen now - it's still far from a complete album, but I'd forgotten how good Teardrop is. Also, Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning is a better first single than Because We Can IMO. Hell, it might be a better one than WWBTF, which is from the album it was written for.

I'm not sure, but I think Jon on Who Would You Die For sounds like it's been recorded in 2013-2015.

I think everything was reworked, maybe there is some vocal cues reused in some songs, but everything feels remade.

If I had to share it with other albums, I would do it as an extension of THINFS.

Did we ever do a "make a 12 track album out of all the material written after What About Now"? I mean, we've got about 30 tracks to chose from now.

No we didn't. I guess.
Actually all tracks were recorded for Burning Bridges, I just wanted to find the tracks written in that era.

Thanks for all your comments. I guess Fingerprints are also new as Who Would You Die For.

We All Fall Down and Life Is Beatiful sound like WAN era songs to me. I'm not sure about Take Back The Night - could be as well WAN or later.

The vibe of I'm Your Man may sound like Sex Sells but I think Blind Love is the oldest - I think they took songs from the Shanks era.
