Trivia
- The song "Ride Cowboy Ride" is credited to Captain Kidd and The King of Swing, as a joke by the actual writers, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, to put the song in the spirit of a true cowboy song.[citation needed]
- The album was initially meant to be a double album, however this idea was rejected by the record company because they got nervous about the higher price point and decided they would only release a single album. Songs that were recorded but withheld form the album are:
Love is War, Let's Make it Baby, The Boys Are Back In Town, Outlaws of Love, Judgment Day, Growing Up the Hard Way, Does Anybody Really Fall in Love Anymore?, Rosie, River of Love (Come Alive), Backdoor to Heaven, Love Hurts, Diamond Ring, Now and Forever, Seven Days
