Bon Jovi - 'The Boys Are Back In Town'

It seems like everyone has covered Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town" but I have to admit, I didn't realize Bon Jovi did a cover of the tune until I heard it on Hair Nation the other day. First off, it's shocking when Hair Nation actually puts a different track in rotation. Then I had to do a double-take when the song came on. I looked it up and sure enough, the cover is on the 2014 deluxe version of New Jersey, which I don't own. It's also on a Phil Lynott tribute album that I also don't own.

The Bon Jovi cover seemed to go by quicker than the original, but the arrangement doesn't seem any different. Maybe that was my perception because I was driving and therefore busy. Whatever the case, this was a nice little surprise for me! Do you like the Bon Jovi version?
