About Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi formed in New Jersey in 1983 around Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Tico Torres and Alec John Such. Their early albums paired hard-rock playing with prominent pop melodies, reaching a much wider audience with Slippery When Wet in 1986. New Jersey followed in 1988, while Keep the Faith and These Days developed a different balance of guitar rock and ballad writing in the 1990s. The group catalog continued through Crush and later albums, alongside separately credited member solo projects.
