Description

The fifth full-length album by the legendary American Rock/Melodic Hard Rock band.
"Keep The Faith" represents the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Bon Jovi, marking a change of both the band's image and sound. Moving away from their early Glam Metal roots in previous albums, it introduced a more Rock'n'Roll driven groove to Bon Jovi's sound. The album turned away from heavy drums and wild guitar solos, but instead introduced a new sound of Bon Jovi, which consisted of piano ballads and long epic guitar solos.
It's the first Bon Jovi's album since 1985's "7800° Fahrenheit" not to be produced by Bruce Fairbairn. The album was produced by Bob Rock and was recorded at the Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, Canada. It is the last to feature original bassist Alec John Such, before his dismissal from the band in 1994.
"Keep The Faith" reintroduced Bon Jovi after almost four years of side projects and hiatuses. The musical climate had shifted considerably in that time, a fact that wasn't lost on the band. "Faith" blatantly brought to the surface the Bruce Springsteen influence that was always lurking in Bon Jovi's sound, and used it to frame "Faith"'s more serious interpretation of the band's Pop-Metal groove. "I Believe" and "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" both amped up the blue-collar, gospel revivalist feel of Springsteen's "Tunnel of Love", dropping in triumphant power chord changes to ensure arena readiness. But Bon Jovi also took a page from Springsteen's Big Book of Epic Songwriting, padding "Faith"'s center with ambitious balladry and a nearly ten-minute story-song, "Dry County", that wouldn't be out of place on a '70s Rock album. Elsewhere, the hit single "Bed of Roses" wisely aimed for the verdant adult contemporary pastures pointed to by Bryan Adams with 1991's "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", instead of gripping stupidly to the Aqua-Netted mane of Glam Rock power balladry. Some of the album's straightforward Hard Rock songs faltered, since they didn't sizzle like the band's vintage material and fell flat next to more inspired material like "In These Arms". But while miles of open highway separated the songwriting of Jon Bon Jovi and his mates from that of Springsteen, "Keep The Faith" deserves plenty of points for ambition, and it did succeed in updating the band's sound - even if the replacement parts were bought used.
"Keep The Faith" peaked at number five on the US Billboard 200 chart while topping the charts in the UK and Australia. The album certified double-Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The record produced several hits for the band, including "Keep The Faith", "Bed of Roses" and "In These Arms".
The album was ranked No. 21 on Kerrang!'s "100 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", and in 2006 the album featured in the Classic Rock & Metal Hammer's The "200 Greatest Albums Of The 90's"!!

Description

First re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
Bon Jovi had perfected a formula for Hard Pop/Rock by the time of "New Jersey", concentrating on sing-along choruses sung over and over again, frequently by a rough, extensively overdubbed chorus, producing an effect not unlike what these songs sounded like in the arenas and stadiums where they were most often heard. The lyrics had that typical Pop twist - although they nominally expressed romantic commitment, sentiments such as "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "I'll Be There for You" worked equally well as a means for the band and its audience to reaffirm their affection for each other. The only thing that marred the perfection of this communion was Jon Bon Jovi's continuing obsession with a certain predecessor from his home state; at times, he seemed to be trying to re-create Born to Run using cheaper materials.
The album was the follow-up to the band's 1986 breakthrough album, "Slippery When Wet", and reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in its second week of release after making its debut at No. 8. It remained at No. 1 for four consecutive weeks. It produced five Billboard Hot 100 top ten singles, the most top ten hits to date for any Hard Rock album, including "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You", which both reached No. 1. The album was certified seven times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album also debuted at No. 1 in UK and was the band's first UK No. 1 album.

Description

Fourth full-length live album by the legendary American Soft Metal band.
Jon Bon Jovi's presumably got all his "serious" instincts out of his system for a while. After the solo releases and film roles, it's back to Bon Jovi duty for a spell, and all the colossal preposterousness that high office entails. In honour of their impending live album, the Jovi have revisited their "Crush" record of last year, and taken further over the top the most OTT track on it. And make no mistake!
The album includes live covers of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" and The Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays". "One Wild Night 2001" is a new remix version rather than a live version. The difference between this version and the original "Crush" version is the length; the intro and other sections were cut out. This was released as a single for this album and featured a music video. The new version also features on the compilation album "Tokyo Road: Best of Bon Jovi". The live version of "Wanted Dead or Alive" was also released as a single and had a promotional video produced for it, this depicted live performances of the song and some backstage footage.
If you've never heard Bon Jovi before, but only know them by what other people say, then this album would simply blow you away. It is recorded live from various concerts and is by far their heaviest album. If you hadn't heard anything they had recorded you would probably laugh at those who call them pop/rock because there's simply nothing pop about this album!
This album will not only impress Bon Jovi fans, but anyone who is just a good old fashioned Rock fan. This is a great album! An amazing album!! Well worth buying even if you're not a particularly big fan on Bon Jovi!!!
The album charted at #20 on The Billboard 200.

Remastered re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
Despite the moderate success of "7800° Fahrenheit", Bon Jovi weren't becoming the superstars they had hoped, and they changed their approach for their next album, going for a more mainstream sound than their heavier first two records. "Slippery When Wet" wasn't just a breakthrough album for Bon Jovi; it was a breakthrough for Hair Metal in general, marking the point where the genre officially entered the mainstream. Released in 1986, it presented a streamlined combination of Pop, Hard Rock and Metal, that appealed to everyone - especially girls, whom traditional Heavy Metal often ignored.
Hiring professional songwriter Desmond Child as a collaborator, the band wrote 30 songs and auditioned them for local New Jersey and New York teenagers, basing the album's running order on their opinions. Much of the album's content was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, except "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Without Love" and "I'd Die For You", which were co-written by Desmond Child.
The album went through various name changes during its inception. The main working title was "Wanted Dead Or Alive"; later the band decided to name the album "Slippery When Wet" after visiting The Number 5 Orange Stripclub in Vancouver. "Slippery When Wet" was an instant commercial success. The album features songs that are today considered Bon Jovi's most well-known tracks, such as "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive".
Between 1986 and 1987, "Slippery When Wet" produced an amazing string of hit singles, including three Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits, two of which ("You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Livin' On A Prayer") reached No. 1, making Bon Jovi the first Hard Rock band to ever have two consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 chart hits. The third single "Wanted Dead or Alive" peaked at No. 7, making "Slippery When Wet" the first Hard Rock album to spawn three Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits.
The album spent eight weeks at #1 on the Billboard album chart. It also had impressive staying power, with 38 weeks inside the Top 5 of Billboard 200, including 8 weeks at No. 1. "Slippery When Wet" was the best-selling album of 1987 in the United States, and eventually reached Diamond certification by the RIAA and current sales stand at 12 million copies, making it the 48th best-selling album in the United States. In the UK, "Slippery When Wet" received a 3x Platinum certification by the BPI. The album also achieved Diamond status in Canada and 6x Platinum status in Australia. It was ranked 44th in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the Definitive 200 albums of all time. As of 2014, "Slippery When Wet" is the band's best-selling album to date, with an RIAA certification of twelve times Platinum, and reportedly over 25 million copies sold worldwide. The album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Newly 20 bit digitally remastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound, New York in the Summer of 1998.

Between 1986 and 1987, "Slippery When Wet" produced an amazing string of hit singles, including three Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits, two of which ("You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Livin' On A Prayer") reached No. 1, making Bon Jovi the first Hard Rock band to ever have two consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 chart hits. The third single "Wanted Dead or Alive" peaked at No. 7, making "Slippery When Wet" the first Hard Rock album to spawn three Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits.
The album spent eight weeks at #1 on the Billboard album chart. It also had impressive staying power, with 38 weeks inside the Top 5 of Billboard 200, including 8 weeks at No. 1. "Slippery When Wet" was the best-selling album of 1987 in the United States, and eventually reached Diamond certification by the RIAA and current sales stand at 12 million copies, making it the 48th best-selling album in the United States. In the UK, "Slippery When Wet" received a 3x Platinum certification by the BPI. The album also achieved Diamond status in Canada and 6x Platinum status in Australia. It was ranked 44th in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the Definitive 200 albums of all time. As of 2014, "Slippery When Wet" is the band's best-selling album to date, with an RIAA certification of twelve times Platinum, and reportedly over 25 million copies sold worldwide. The album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Description

Second remastered re-release of the sixth full-length album by the legendary American Melodic Hard Rock band.
With "These Days", Bon Jovi firmly established themselves as an adult contemporary act. They still have their fair share of Rockers, but they seem half-hearted and incomplete. Instead, the band sounds the most comfortable with love ballads and working class anthems, from hits "This Ain't a Love Song" and "Lie to Me", to the acoustic "Diamond Ring". In fact, as the years go by, Bon Jovi gets musically stronger. Not only are their best songs stronger now, their playing is more accomplished. Keeping these improvements in mind, it's no surprise that the band was one of the few Pop Metal bands to sustain a career in the mid-'90s.
This was the first album Bon Jovi released after the retirement of bassist Alec John Such. The band hired Hugh McDonald as their unofficial bassist. The album, produced by Peter Collins, Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi, was an overall darker album in contrast to the band's usual brand of feel-good, inspiring Rock songs and love ballads.
At the time of release, the album was a huge commercial hit, particularly in Europe and Japan. In Japan, the album debuted at number one on the Oricon chart with sales of 379,000, becoming the fastest selling album by a non-Japanese act in history of the country's chart. In the UK, "These Days" replaced Michael Jackson's album "HIStory" at number one on the UK Albums Chart and spent four consecutive weeks at #1. The album spawned four Top 10 singles on the UK Singles Chart, the band's highest number of Top 10 singles from one album in UK. The album also topped Billboard European Albums Chart for seven weeks. The high sales of the album in Europe warranted a re-issue of the album under the name of "These Days Special Edition" a year after its original release. The album was ranked number two on Q magazine's list of the "Top 50 albums of 1995". In 2006, the album featured in the Classic Rock & Metal Hammer's The "200 Greatest Albums Of The 90's". In the U.S., despite selling 1000000 copies and certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the album wasn't as successful as it was overseas and the album peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200.

Description

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary American Melodic Rock/Hard Rock band.
Bon Jovi are back! These living legends return with "What About Now", 12 tracks of booming stadium Rock to suit any need!!
When you speak of one of the most successful bands to have ever come out from the 80's and definitely one of the best artists from the state of New Jersey, look no further and focus on one name - Bon Jovi!!! “What About Now” is an improvement in certain aspects of their last two previous efforts. However, Bon Jovi rarely fails in leaving an impression, whether it is good or bad. A lot of music critics frankly dislike his brand of music for one reason or another, but more loyal fans simply love the guy. There is a certain appeal about him that has won over millions of music lovers to his side. So, it is like trying to decide whose vote matters more when it comes to his music. All the hundreds of thousands who would fill up the stadiums all over the States and in other countries over the last three decades can’t all be wrong. They see something in him that they can relate to.
In this album, he sings about matters of the heart, the recession in the economy, the shortcomings of the media, and even political things in nature. Socially aware, politically correct, and with a conscious effort to try to continually reach out to both old and new listeners with subjects he knows, they can relate to–that is the winning formula that Bon Jovi has clearly mastered with fans.
The album debuted at #1 in the U.S., where it sold 101,000 copies in its first week, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200. "What About Now" became their third album in a row to hit #1 in US, after “The Circle” and “Lost Highway”, and their fifth #1 album during their career. The album has sold over 900,000 copies worldwide, going Gold in the UK, selling 100,000 copies.
