Strap in for a ride on the wild strings of Tim's guitar as he shares the untold stories from the early days of Bon Jovi, and beyond. In a candid conversation, Tim—a revered session guitarist with a knack for finding himself in the right place at the right time—recounts the magic of recording "Runaway," a track that catapulted Bon Jovi into the limelight. He peels back the curtain on the hustle of a young Jon Bon Jovi, the camaraderie amongst rock's unsung heroes, and the bittersweet symphony of paths diverged when he opted to tour with Rick Springfield instead.But that's just scratching the surface. Tim doesn't just regale us with tales of yesteryear; he brings us into the studio, dissecting the art of nailing that perfect guitar solo and the surprising simplicity behind iconic tracks laid down with minimal resources. We're then whisked forward in time to Tim's chance reunion with John Bon Jovi, leading to an impromptu holiday solo that now echoes through the aisles of every Home Depot each December. So tune in, and let's celebrate the serendipity and enduring bonds that music weaves into the fabric of our lives.
