Did Bon Jovi cover Purple Rain?

Just out of curiousity, I went to www.ascap.com and did a database search on Purple Rain and, along with Prince and others, Bon Jovi came up...

Any idea? Was this an official release?

his just one of those annoying radio friendly wannabe unit shifters that should really just give up and stop living in the 80s still. I mean really does anybody even bother listening to the crap he puts out these days.....let alone the crap he ever released back in his hey day razz

Nothing changes the classic feeling of the original,
Remakes can be very enjoyable..."Betcha by Golly Wow," is the perfect example.
I've met Steven Tyler. And Jon. They both seem very nice.

I was thinking the same thing...they are one of my kid's favorite band...he said the latest CD isn't too good though...I don't buy their stuff, but if it comes on the radio I don't flip the channel...I think they're pretty easy on the ears...
