Question
Hi Yvonne,
I need a little help. I would like to know, which Bon Jovi songs are so-called rock ballads. I tryed to search it on the internet, and I found some examples, for example, Wanted, Diamond Ring, I'll be there for you, What do you got? and It's my life. To be honest, the real meaning of rock ballad is not clear for me. For example, I'll be there for you is a slow love song, but It's my life is a really dinamic and powerful song about how to make up your mind. Could you give me some other examples? For example, what about These days or Livin' on a prayer...?
Thank you For your answer!

Answer
Hi don
I guess a rock Ballad is a slow song by a rock band.
That is how i would summarize it anyway.
I wouldn't classify it's my life as a Ballad.it's just a pure rock song,Don't you Think??
