Bon Jovi New Album Arriving In 2016; Listen To Matt O'Ree Play 'Living On A Prayer' With David Bryan!


Bon Jovi New Album

As fans patiently wait for Bon Jovi new album coming in 2016, take some time to know more about the newest guitarist onboard, Matt O'Ree.

According to Noise 11, Matt O'Ree will officially take the place of touring guitarist Bobby Bandiera. Moreover, O'Ree will go side by side with Phil X as he remains as the other band guitarist.

It will be interesting to see if both guitarists will be part of the Bon Jovi new album 2016 but nonetheless, fans will still have a great time when the band goes on tour. Here's a teaser showing Matt O'Ree performing with David Bryan to the band's hit, "Living On A Prayer."



Also, here's a brief background of Matt O'Ree.
"Matt O'Ree formed his own band The Matt O'Ree Band in New Jersey in 1994. Like Sambora, O'Ree is a bluesman at heart, citing Albert King, Howlin' Wolf, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan as his influences."
To sweeten things up, David Bryan confirmed that he and the band will go on tour once Bon Jovi new album is released next year.
"We always do album/tour. We put out an album ['What About Now'] in 2013 and toured all 2013 - 102 shows to 3 million people." Bryan told Philly.com. "We're back in the studio and we'll have an album out next year. That's our cycle."
Speaking of another album, "Burning Bridges" is now out and this album contains the angst the band feels toward their former label, Mercury Records.
For those who have yet to listen to the Bon Jovi new album, "Burning Bridges," here's the track list via Ultimate Classic Rock.
"We Don't Run"
"Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning"
"Mona Lisa"
"Nothing"
"Who Says You Can't Go Home" (feat. Keith Urban)
"This Ain't Love"
"State of Our Union"
"Shine"
"Times Like These"
"Beautiful Day"
"Start Your Own Revolution"
"This Is Our House"
"I'm Giving Me to You"
"I'm On My Way"
"Second Chances"

Bon Jovi, who has a home in Middletown, frequently appears at Bandiera's Hope Concerts and did so last year by singing "Who Says You Can't Go Home," "I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas" and "The Letter," as a tribute to Joe Cocker, who had just passed away.
