History


The power ballad[7] was allegedly recorded by Jon Bon Jovi because Emilio Estevez requested Bon Jovi's song "Wanted Dead or Alive" for the soundtrack to Young Guns II, but Bon Jovi did not think the lyrics—about the band constantly touring—fit the theme of the Western movie. However, the request inspired him to write "Blaze of Glory" with lyrics more topical to the film.

The song features a music video and remains a crowd favorite with Bon Jovi fans, despite the fact that the song was not released as one of the band's singles, and only by Jon. The track is notable for the performance of Jeff Beck on guitar. The music video was filmed at The Rectory near Moab, Utah.

[es] Blaze of Glory

Blaze of Glory es el primer sencillo de un álbum de Jon Bon Jovi en solitario. Alcanzó el número uno en las listas Billboard Hot 100 y Mainstream Rock en 1990, siendo este el único sencillo de Jon Bon Jovi en solitario que lo logró.[1] El tema fue creado por el propio Jon Bon Jovi para la película Young Guns II. En un principio, los realizadores del film habían pedido permiso a Jon para utilizar «Wanted Dead or Alive» en su película, pero el roquero pensó que la letra de la canción no encajaba con la cinta, así que les propuso crear una canción nueva, que finalmente se convirtió en un álbum completo del mismo nombre.[2] En 1991 fue premiada con un Globo de Oro a la Mejor Canción Original, recibió una nominación al Óscar en la categoría de Mejor Canción de Película y consiguió el premio a la Canción de Pop/Rock Favorita en los American Music Awards.[3][4]
