I normally won’t buy a CD, DVD or anything that is strictly an interview disc. However, this was part of a set of Bon Jovi DVDs I bought and for the price of the 4 DVDs I wanted, I was okay having this thrown in. And this is a Bootleg DVD called ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Legends’ and as it says on the back cover, it is approximately 55 minutes of an interview with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora and those are both wrong.
