We were munching burgers while he wrote a No. He declared he'd written 'Blaze of Glory', which of course then went through the roof in the States. In an interview for UNCUT magazine, Kiefer Sutherland said, "When Jon (Bon Jovi) joined the team for Young Guns 2, we were all eating hamburgers in a diner and Jon was scribbling on this napkin for, say, six minutes. Fusco called his co-producers into the trailer to listen, and it was named the theme song for Young Guns II on the spot. This was the first time that "Blaze of Glory" was heard. He quickly wrote the song " Blaze of Glory", and performed it on acoustic guitar in the New Mexico desert for Estevez and John Fusco.

Bon Jovi did not feel the song's lyrics were appropriate however, he was inspired by the project and resolved to write a new song for the film that would be more in keeping with the period and setting. The album more or less transitioned Jon's songwriting from mostly girls and having a good time to other subject matters, which would lead into him and his band's further maturing in songwriting with 1992's Keep the Faith.Įmilio Estevez originally approached Bon Jovi to ask him for permission to include the song " Wanted Dead or Alive" on the soundtrack. Jon Bon Jovi said on the 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong DVD that he originally thought the album's aggression and themes dealt with Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett from Young Guns II but has come to realize that they reflect the bad place he was in at the time. Another theme on the album is about making a stand and making yourself heard in the world.
