Curiosidades
The concert scenes were filmed in a Las Vegas arena before a Bon Jovi show (New Jersey tour). The stage set up is the actual stage set up Bon Jovi used for their show.

Pifias
In a flashback, Eddie is on the beach in New Jersey telling a band member what he wants his music to be like. He uses bedsheets as an analogy. In the original movie, he's talking to Frank Ridgeway (Tom Berenger). In the sequel's flashback, he's talking to Sal Amato (Matthew Laurence).

Citas
Hilton Overstreet: [faces Eddie, sternly] First you destroy your guitar, now your songs. You're gonna be next?
Eddie Wilson: They're lousy songs. They don't even burn good.
Hilton Overstreet: Good thing you know them by heart. Be a shame to lose that many songs by Eddie Wilson.
[Eddie stops destroying his songs and realizes that Hilton knows his true identity]
Hilton Overstreet: I knew the minute I heard you play. The way a man plays - he's born with it; like fingerprints. He can hide under another name. But he can't disguise the way he plays.
Eddie Wilson: Then it's a good thing I'm quitting.
Hilton Overstreet: You're not quitting now, Eddie! You owe it to this band! You brought them this far! Then deserve another chance, just like you had a chance. But they ain't gonna get it without you. You owe it to them, Eddie... and you owe it to me.

I Wish There Were More Eddies

Eddie strove for something real, something meaningful. How many people like that do you meet in your daily life? I meet zero. What a shame.

Maybe he was self-absorbed at times to the detriment of his friendships. There is no excuse for that, but I do believe that he cared about others.

Michael Pare put so much feeling into his role as Eddie, in both the original and this sequel. He is not even a particularly well known actor, yet he put more feeling into this role than most popular actors put into their famous roles.Popularity does not necessarily signify quality.

The makers of this film should have explained what the hell Eddie has been doing for the past 20-25 years. Why did it take him so long to get back into music? Why is he living in a modest apartment, with no woman or kids, or anything after this many years? They could have at least given it a backhanded treatment, so that we would know the basics.

Nevertheless, nice job otherwise. Sweet, understated love affair. Conflict, resolution, emotion, and great music. John Cafferty is Eddie. Eddie lives!
