These Days was produced by Peter Collins, Jon Bon Jovi, and Richie Sambora. Recording began in Nashville in the fall of 1994 but soon moved to Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, NY. When industrial metal band Fear Factory’s sessions bled into Bon Jovi’s neighboring studio, the band relocated to Jon’s home studio in Rumson, NJ, Sanctuary Sound. Additional recording and final mixing were completed in Los Angeles, CA.
