Fabulous Rock band Bon Jovi was formed in
1983 in Sayreville, New Jersey in the
USA. Bon Jovi have sold over 120
million albums worldwide and are still massive
25 years on.
Band members: Jon Bon Jovi (lead singer),
Richie Sambora (guitar), Tico Torres (drummer),
David Bryan (keyboards), and until 1994 Alec
John Such (bassist).
John Francis Bongiovi, better known by his thousands of fans as Jon Bon Jovi, has sold over 120 million records since there first album Bon Jovi was released. The name Bon Jovi came about from Jerry Jaffe, the head of A&R at PolyGram, stating that it had a similar sound to Van Halen.
The idea originated with singer Jon Bon Jovi. Jon kept upping the ante with his label and ultimately they consented to a four-CD set of essentially new material. Here, he talks about this 20th anniversery project (100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong) and the things that make Bon Jovi unique.
Bon Jovi is a mega group that has been putting out hit after hit after hit since their forming in 1983. Wow, that is a lot of years. This hard rock band out of Sayreville, New Jersey got their name from the front lead singer Jon Bon Jovi who began to play piano and guitar at the age of thirteen with his first band, called Raze.
Few rock bands have dominated the era of pop-metal like Bon Jovi has. By merging Def Leppard's loud but tuneful metal with Bruce Springsteen's working-class sensibilities, the New Jersey-based quintet has developed an ingratiatingly melodic and professional variation of hard rock; one that appeals as much to teenagers as to housewives.
