Bon Jovi's song "Always" was written for which film's soundtrack, but was pulled before the film was released?
Bon Jovi is an American rock band formed in 1983 in Sayreville, New Jersey. It consists of singer Jon Bon Jovi, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, guitarist Phil X, and bassist Hugh McDonald. Original bassist Alec John Such quit the band in 1994, and longtime guitarist and co-songwriter Richie Sambora left in 2013. The band has been credited with "bridging the gap between heavy metal and pop with style and ease".
"Always" is a song by Bon Jovi. The power ballad was released as a single from their 1994 greatest hits album, "Cross Road" and went on to become one of their best-selling singles, with a million copies sold in the US and more than three million worldwide.
The song was originally written by Jon Bon Jovi for the soundtrack to the 1993 film "Romeo Is Bleeding", starring Gary Oldman as a corrupt cop and Mafia aide who is renounced by his wife. After being unimpressed by a preview screening of the movie (which was a critical and box office flop) he decided not to lend "Always" to the producers. Bon Jovi commented, "The script was great: the movie wasn't." He left the track on his shelf and forgot about it until John Kalodner, a friend and A&R executive, found it and convinced him to re-record and release the song.
