Bon Jovi Information

Jon Bon Jovi Jon Bon Jovi's real name is John Frank Bongiovi. He was born on 2 March 1962 in Sayreville, New Jersey, born as the son of a hairdresser and a Playboy bunny. As a young boy he held a job at the record studio of his cousin Tony Bongiovi, but in between washing and mopping he had the opportunity to make some recordings. One of those songs, the happy sing-along tune "Runaway". It filled with local Rock and turned out to be the most requested songs on the local radio stations in no time.

The above mentioned situation resulted in the contract offer of the Mercury record company to Bon Jovi. With a band that he arranged himself, consisting of David Bryan (a highschool buddy that was born on 7 February 1962 as David Rashbaum), guitarist Richie Sambora (11 July 1959), bassist Alec John Such (14 November 1956) and drummer Tico Torres (7 October 1953), they made the debut album "Bon Jovi" in 1984. The album was released in 1984, and recorded in Warehouse Studios, Philadelphia. 'Runaway' hit the charts and brought the album to the gold status. In 1985, the band recorded their second album - '7800 Fahrenheit', containing songs as 'In And Out Of Love' and 'Tokyo Road'.

However, this album was not as successful as was expected to be. Then, the recording of the third album began. Canadian Bruce Fairbairn was brought in as producer replacing Lance Quinn, and the songwriting team was expanded - Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and new member, Desmond Child, who was working with Aerosmith and Kiss. This record, 'Slippery When Wet', was an absolute success for Bon Jovi. The album featured major chart toppers - 'You Give Love A Bad Name', 'Living On A Prayer', 'Social Disease', 'Wanted Dead Or Alive', and 'Never Say Goodbye'. In September 1988, the next album was released - 'New Jersey' - a mixture of rock and romance. The album contained enormous hits 'Bad Medicine', 'Lay Your Hands On Me', 'Living In Sin' and 'I'll Be There For You'. At the end of 1989, the band were exhausted and had to take a break.

During these years off, Jon recorded his solo soundtrack album for the 'Young Guns II' film - 'Blaze of Glory'(Feb 1990). By late 1993 'Blaze Of Glory' sold over 3 million copies and the title track was a big hit worldwide. Jon also established his own record label, Jambco. In 1992, the band regrouped and spent 6 months recording 'Keep The Faith', the album released in November 1992. The album contained really big variety of songs and 5 hit singles: 'Keep The Faith', 'I Believe', 'I'll Sleep When I'm Dead', 'In These Arms', and 'Bed Of Roses'.
