Bio:
Bon Jovi is an American rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Formed in 1983, Bon Jovi consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi (John Francis Bongiovi, Jr.), guitarist Phil X, bassist Hugh McDonald, keyboardist David Bryan, and drummer Tico Torres.The band's lineup has remained mostly static during its history, the only exception being the 1994 dismissal of bass player Alec John Such. In 1986, Bon Jovi achieved widespread global recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet. The band's fourth album, New Jersey was equally successful in 1988, and between 1986—1995, Bon Jovi had 13 U.S. Top 40 hits, including four number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100: "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Bad Medicine", and "I'll Be There for You".Other Top 10 record chart hits included "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Born to Be My Baby", "Lay Your Hands on Me", "Bed of Roses" and "Always". The success of Bon Jovi's 2000 single, "It's My Life", helped introduce them to a younger audience, as has the use of different styles in their music, such as the appearance of country in 2007's Lost Highway. Lost Highway debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, as did 2009's The Circle. On March 12, 2013, Bon Jovi released their 12th studio album, What About Now.Thus far, Bon Jovi has released 12 studio albums, plus three compilations and two live albums. They are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 130 million records worldwide,[4] and performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006.The band was also honored with the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards in 2004,and as songwriters and collaborators, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009.In January 2012, Jon Bon Jovi stated that they were working on a twelfth studio album,[36] and in a live show in August 2012, Jon Bon Jovi played an acoustic version of a song that was announced to be on the upcoming album.In October 2012, Bon Jovi announced Because We Can, a new world tour for 2013, in support of their new album, What About Now, which was released on March 12, 2013.

Album:
After celebrating their debut album with a deluxe edition last year, BON JOVI will offer similar treatment to their biggest album: 1986’s Slippery When Wet. The New Jersey rockers’ third LP it’s being reissued as ”Slippery When Wet [Deluxe Edition]” in a variety of formats including rare and unreleased tracks.The album, featuring Bon Jovi classics such as “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “You Give Love A Bad Name,” “Wanted Dead or Alive” and more, is certified Diamond and one of the top 100 best-selling U.S. albums of all time.This new deluxe edition is enhanced by the acoustic version of “Wanted Dead Or Alive,” an extended new mix of “Livin’ On A Prayer” as heard in the band’s documentary, and a set of raw, dynamite live tracks from the record-breaking Slippery When Wet tour, previously unreleased.After the moderate success of their self-titled debut and the single “Runaway” – and the similarly minor impact of follow-up 7800° Fahrenheit a year later – ‘Slippery When Wet’ was a make-or-break for the band. Luckily, the band – frontman Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, bassist Alec John Such and drummer Tico Torres – had some secret weapons in their arsenal.Bon Jovi and Sambora co-wrote four tracks – including singles “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name” – with songwriter Desmond Child, a budding collaborator who’d contributed to tracks by KISS (“I Was Made for Loving You”), Cher (three tracks from her underrated I Paralyze) and Bonnie Tyler (“If You Were a Woman and I Were a Man”).With a songwriting that split the difference between pure pop and glam metal and the skills of producer Bruce Fairbairn and engineer/mixer Bob Rock, ‘Slippery When Wet’ became Bon Jovi’s unquestionable breakthrough. The album topped the Billboard 200 and became the best-selling album of 1987 thanks to the chart-toppers “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin’ on a Prayer” (the potential of which was doubted by Jon Bon Jovi at first; now, it’s their signature song) and the Top 10, acoustic-driven “Wanted Dead or Alive.” (A fourth single, “Never Say Goodbye,” was only released to radio but became a staple.)The sound and character of ‘Slippery When Wet’ proved influential as well: within a year, Desmond Child and Bruce Fairbairn would become key collaborators for Aerosmith as they entered a pop-rock phase with major commercial returns on the albums Permanent Vacation (1987), Pump (1989) and Get a Grip (1993).The deluxe ‘Slippery When Wet’ is augmented by a bonus disc of tracks including the original acoustic B-side version of “Wanted Dead or Alive” and extended mixes of “Livin’ on a Prayer” (featured in the band’s 2024 docuseries Thank You, Goodnight) and album cut “Raise Your Hands,” remixed by the band’s longtime engineer Obie O’Brien.The disc concludes with four live tracks from the Slippery When Wet Tour of 1987, all of which are different from the pair of live cuts included on a reissue campaign from 2010. (The live versions of “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Wild in the Streets” featured here were included, in different mixes, as B-sides to singles from Slippery When Wet and follow-up New Jersey (1988).Curiously, the bonus disc does not include fan favorite Slippery outtake “Edge of a Broken Heart,” included on the soundtrack to the 1987 comedy Disorderlies as well as the band’s 2004 rarities box set 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can’t Be Wrong.
