Biography

After ushering in the era of pop-metal with their 1986 blockbuster Slippery When Wet and its hit singles “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “Living on a Prayer,” Bon Jovi wound up transcending the big-haired ‘80s, withstanding changes in style and sound to become one of the biggest American rock bands of their time, selling over 120 million albums worldwide, and sustaining their popularity well into the new millennium. As the times changed, so did the band’s sound. They slowly peeled away the arena rock guitars of the ‘80s, occasionally scoring on the adult contemporary charts and sometimes singing country music without ever rejecting hard rock, a move that illustrated how they never abandoned their roots and became second only to Bruce Springsteen in defining the sound and spirit of New Jersey rock & roll.

    Lyrics
    Tommy used to work on the docks
    The Union went on strike
    He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
    Gina works the diner all day
    Working for her man, she brings home her pay for love

    Lyrics
    Shot through the heart and you're to blame
    Darlin' you give love a bad name
    An angel's smile is what you sell
    You promise me heaven then put me through hell
    Chains of love got a hold on me

    Lyrics
    This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
    No silent prayer for the faith-departed
    I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
    You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
    It's my life, it's now or never
    It's My Life - (3:45)  -  212,327 plays

    Lyrics
    It's all the same
    Only the names will change

    Lyrics
    This Romeo is bleedin'
    But you can't see his blood
    It's nothing but some feelings
    That this old dog kicked up
    It's been rainin' since you left me
    Always - (4:11)  -  124,040 plays
