The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
From the opening track, "Runaway", which rode to glory on E Street Band-mate Roy Bittan's distinctive keyboard riff, to the sweaty arena rock of "Get Ready", which closed the album, Bon Jovi's debut is an often-overlooked minor gem from the early days of Hair Metal. The songs may be simple and the writing prone to all clichés of the form, but the album boasts a pretty consistent Hard Rock attack, passionate playing and a keen sense of melody. The prominence that keyboardist David Bryan (credited as David Rashbaum in the liner notes) gets on this record is an indicator, perhaps, that Bon Jovi had more than a passing interest in the Pop market, which was then dominated by new wave and Synth Pop. Mixing Journey-like '70s Rock ("She Don't Know Me") with shout-along stadium anthems ("Love Lies"), the self-titled Bon Jovi album lay the foundation for the band's career, which reached its apex several years later with that very same combination of Pop melody and arena-sized ambition.
Originally titled "Tough Talk", album was renamed after the record company decided it was wiser to issue the album as a self-titled release. Most of the songs are written by Jon Bon Jovi, Bryan and Sambora. "Burning for Love" and "Come Back" were the very first songs written for the album. Produced by Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn, it is significant for being the only Bon Jovi album on which a song ("She Don't Know Me") appears that was not written nor co-written by members of the band.
Aside from hit single "Runaway", songs from the album were rarely performed live after the band released their breakthrough album "Slippery When Wet" in 1986. However, on the band's 2010 Circle Tour, songs including "Roulette", "Shot Through The Heart" and "Get Ready" were performed.
Three singles from the album were released: "Runaway", "She Don't Know Me" and in Japan only, "Burning for Love".
The album was ranked the 11th best Rock album of 1984 by Kerrang! Magazine. The album charted at #43 on The Billboard 200.

Special Edition release of the eighth full-length album by the legendary American Melodic Hard Rock band.
“Bounce” was heavily influenced by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, owing in part to Jon Bon Jovi's proximity to New York. The title "Bounce" was a reference to New York City's and the United States' ability to bounce back from the World Trade Center attacks as a nation.
Given that Bon Jovi successfully pulled off a comeback in 2000 with "Crush", a shiny Pop album pitched directly at the mainstream, it's kind of a surprise that they returned two years later with a record as turgid as "Bounce". Instead of continuing the colorful blueprint of "Crush", they fearlessly backpedal, turning out dull, heavy, serious rock - the kind of music that sounds "serious" even when it's about trivial things. Of course, much of the record is given over to "serious" topics, as if the band felt that the events of 2001 necessitated a grave response for "Bounce", regardless of what they were singing. Such sobriety would not have been a problem if the band had solid material, but they're not only lacking songs, they've inexplicably altered their musical approach. In particular, guitarist Richie Sambora sounds as if he's aping James Hetfield's lumbering downstrokes throughout the album, giving the record an oppressively heavy sound that never lets the music breathe. This casts a pall over the record, but this stumble is not the sole reason "Bounce" is such a misstep for the band. After all, this is a record where Bon Jovi seems to have consciously decided to avoid everything that gives their music character, melody, and muscle, a move that would have been odd at any point during their career, but is particularly puzzling after they delivered an album that found them growing old gracefully. It's as if they want to undo everything "Crush" did for them.
The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, making it Bon Jovi's highest debut in the band's history at that time.

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Melodic Rock/Hard Rock band.
The first release since the departure of former guitarist Richie Sambora in 2013 (although he receives a co-writing credit on the single "Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning"), with Shanks handling the lead guitar parts, which being their only album to date to be recorded officially as a trio. "Burning Bridges" also is band's last album to be released through Mercury Records, marking the end of their 32-year relationship with the label. "Burning Bridges" was conceived to fulfill Bon Jovi's commitment to Mercury Records, as the band and label could not agree on adjusted terms for the band's recording contract. It is also the first album in 29 years to not feature a credit by Desmond Child, who has co-written or produced at least one song on every Bon Jovi album since 1986's "Slippery When Wet".
The album consist of new songs, as well as formerly unreleased and unfinished songs. According to Jon Bon Jovi, the album serves as a "fan record" to tie in with an accompanying international tour: "It's songs that weren't finished, that were finished, a couple of new ones like the one we released as a single 'We Don't Run'."
Usually, this kind of hodgepodge is called a contractual obligation or a stopgap, but "fan album" not only sounds kinder, it also identifies precisely the audience that would be interested in this brief, power ballad-heavy collection. In a way, "Burning Bridges" clears the deck for a new incarnation of Bon Jovi, the first where guitarist Richie Sambora is no longer part of the equation. Sambora gets a co-credit on "Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning," a song dating back to "The Circle" that's easily one of the liveliest things here, rivaled by "I'm Your Man," which punches like it was left over from "New Jersey". Elsewhere, things are pretty turgid, as Bon Jovi tries in vain to splice Coldplay with Springsteen in an attempt to scale previously unheard heights in arena rock. The sound is there, but not the songs. Apart from "Fingerprints", which benefits from a hint of 12-strings from "Wanted Dead or Alive", these seven songs have no flair and virtually no melody, a pretty clear indication that Bon Jovi completed "Burning Bridges" out of a sense of obligation, not inspiration, but just in case you missed the point he lays it all out in the closing title song. Here, Jon Bon Jovi doesn't mince words about his label, singing "After 30 years of loyalty, they let you dig the grave / Now maybe you can learn to sing or even strum along / Well I'll give you half the publishing, you're why I wrote this song", then delivering the coup de grâce with the chorus: "Here's a last song you can sell / Let's call it "Burning Bridges", it's a sing-along as well... hope my money and my masters buy a front-row seat in hell"...
The album debuted at No. 13 on Billboard, and No. 3 on Rock Albums on its release, selling 19 000 copies in the first week. The album has sold 67 000 copies in the United States as of August 2016.

The seventh full-length studio album by the legendary American Melodic Hard Rock band.
Even if it was classified as Pop-Metal, Bon Jovi never really was much of a Metal band, relying on big, catchy melodies and not guitar riffs to make their songs memorable. That's why, in 2000, they're able to make an album like "Crush", which strays far enough into Pop/Rock to actually stand a chance of getting airplay (which it did, with the hit lead single "It's My Life").
The guitar crunch on the up-tempo numbers keeps Bon Jovi from becoming a full-fledged Pop/Rock band, but in addition to the typical Hard Rockers, there are nods to Heartland Rock, Bryan Adams-style adult contemporary balladry ("Thank You for Loving Me"), the Beatles (the surprisingly effective "Say It Isn't So"), and even British Glam à la T. Rex or David Bowie ("Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars"). Occasionally, it sounds like the band is attempting to cover as many bases as possible for multi-format appeal, but for the most part, the variety - coupled with the consistently polished songcraft - makes for a surprisingly listenable album.
Commercially, "Crush" became an international success, reaching the top of the charts in multiple territories. The album was certified double Platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album helped introduce the band to a new generation of fans. "Crush" was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards. Three singles were released from the album internationally: "It's My Life", "Say It Isn't So" and "Thank You For Loving Me", as well as a new, updated rendition of "One Wild Night" released a year later with the live album "One Wild Night Live 1985–2001". "It's My Life" became one of the band's most well-known songs, and one of their most successful singles, reaching number one in several countries and becoming the third best selling single of 2000.
"Crush" is a solidly crafted mainstream Rock record that's much better than most might expect. Even if "Crush" is more measured than Bon Jovi's early work, "Just Older" sums up the band's acceptance of their status nicely: "The skin I'm in is all right with me/It's not old, just older"!

The ninth full-length studio album by the legendary American Melodic Hard Rock band.
The girls who grooved to "Slippery When Wet" back in 1986 have gotten married and bought SUVs... but Bon Jovi is back to Rockin' with "Have A Nice Day", and if he can continues to deliver such good material in the future - these girls will back to grooves!
"Have A Nice Day" was originally recorded in the summer of 2004 and planned for release in early 2005. However, due to misunderstandings between the band and its record company, the album was delayed. The band wanted to write and record more songs, remove others from the original track list, and in the process, altered existing album tracks.
"Have A Nice Day" ranked number one in its debut, in 15 countries. The album also ranked No.2 in both the US and UK. In the US, it sold over 202,000 copies in the first week, making it Bon Jovi's best first-week sales in the band's history at that time. The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA.
If you're a fan of Jon since "Runaway", then don't hesitate to buy this album as you won't be disappointed! If you don't know Bon Jovi yet (but is that really possible??), "Have A Nice Day" is as good place as any to discover this band that puts one of the best Hard Rock songs you can ear on Radio!! If you're into Hard Rock/AOR, then this album is for you! Catchy and melodic to the bones!! Two thumbs up!!!

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"!!

For the first time on vinyl, the tenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Country/Melodic Hard Rock band.
The album influences the band's Rock sound with that of Country Music, following the success of a Country version of the band's 2006 single "Who Says You Can't Go Home", a duet with Jennifer Nettles, which reached No. 1 on the U.S. country chart in May 2006. Following the success had with the duet version of "Who Says You Can't Go Home", there are two songs on the album produced in collaboration with other artists, namely "We Got It Going On", featuring Big & Rich, and the single "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore", featuring LeAnn Rimes.
After its first week on sale, Lost Highway entered the Dutch, German, Swiss, and Japanese album charts at No. 1, and the UK Album Chart at No. 2. It entered the Irish and Australian charts at No. 5, although after the conclusion of Bon Jovi's Australian tour, the album climbed to No. 2. In Japan, the album debuted at No. 1 and sold 73 212 copies in its first week of release on Oricon charts. This is the fourth such time, breaking The Beatles and the Bay City Rollers' record as a Western band (under Oricon's definition) of having three number one albums in the country. In the UK, the album sold 79 000 copies in its first week, an improvement on "Have A Nice Day" first-week sales of 54 000. In Denmark, the album debuted at No. 5, but went to No. 1 after five weeks on the charts.
Described by Jon Bon Jovi as a "Bon Jovi album influenced by Nashville", the album debuted in the U.S. at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with 292 000 copies sold in its first week, becoming Bon Jovi's first ever album to debut at No. 1, and their third album to reach that position in the United States. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2008 Grammy Awards. This was the band's first studio album in the Country Music genre. It was certified Platinum by the RIAA in October 2008.

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.

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.

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.
