Richie Sambora – guitar, backing vocals.
Jon Bon Jovi – lead vocals (all tracks), guitar.Leslie Mathew, who reviewed the album, said: "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", and called the album "an often-overlooked minor gem from the early days of hair metal".
BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE BON JOVI PROFESSIONAL
The engineer was saying, Don't fret, Jon: even Freddie Mercury and the greats have to comp a vocal." Release and reception Professional ratings Review scoresĪllMusic has retrospectively rated Bon Jovi three-and-a-half out of five stars. I was thinking, My God, I'm so bad that they have to put my vocals together for me. I'd only been in a studio for three years total prior to that record and I didn't know anything about comping a vocal – where you take a word or a line from one track and piece it together. "We didn't become a good band until the third record, but we had a drummer who could keep time, which you should never take for granted. "We weren't a good band", Bon Jovi said in 2007. Sabo was soon replaced by Richie Sambora. At that time Bon Jovi's lead guitarist was Dave Sabo, who later formed the band Skid Row. In March 1983, Bon Jovi called David Bryan (then known as Rashbaum), who in turn called bass guitarist Alec John Such and an experienced drummer named Tico Torres. He wanted a band name and the A&R staff at PolyGram came up with Bon Jovi. Jon signed to Mercury Records, part of the PolyGram company. The song began to get airplay around New York. McDonald would later replace Alec John Such as Bon Jovi's bass guitarist. They were: guitarist Tim Pierce, keyboardist Roy Bittan, drummer Frankie LaRocka, bass guitarist Hugh McDonald, and additional singers David Grahmme and Mick Seeley (Seeley also composed the distinctive keyboard riff that opens the song).
The studio musicians who helped record "Runaway" were known as The All Star Review. DJ Chip Hobart listened to the demos and loved "Runaway", deciding to include it on the station's compilation album of local homegrown talent. In 1982, Jon went to local radio station WAPP 103.5FM "The Apple". Jon made several demos and sent them out to record companies, but failed to make an impact. In 1980, Jon Bon Jovi (born John Francis Bongiovi) began work at Power Station Studios, a Manhattan recording facility where his cousin, Tony Bongiovi, was a co-owner. The song "Shot Through the Heart" should not be confused with the much better-known " You Give Love a Bad Name" from Slippery When Wet.
The album was ranked the 11th best rock album of 1984 by Kerrang! magazine. However, on the band's 2010 Circle Tour, songs including "Roulette", "Shot Through the Heart" and "Get Ready" were performed. Īside from the hit single " Runaway", songs from the album were rarely performed live after Bon Jovi released Slippery When Wet in 1986. The album charted at number 43 on the US Billboard 200. Produced by Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn, it is significant for being the only Bon Jovi album in which a song (" She Don't Know Me") appears that was not written or co-written by a member of the band. Bon Jovi is the debut studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on January 23, 1984, by Mercury Records.
