The version included on the 2005 DualDisc edition of Slippery When Wet has an extended version of the original ending, with a different talk box solo playing over the riff (possibly taken from an outtake of the song) this version, which fades out at the end like the standard version of the song, ends at 5:06. The original ending is also playable on similar video game Rock Band 2, though edited in this case (thereby eliminating the talk box solo at the end). However, the music video game Guitar Hero World Tour features the song’s original studio ending, where the band revisit the intro riff and end with a talk box solo this version ends at 4:53.
The album version of the song, timed around 4:10, fades out at the end. It also hit number four on the UK singles chart. The song spent two weeks at number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks, from January 31 – February 14, 1987, and four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, from February 14 – March 14. Richie Sambora, however, convinced him the song was good, and they reworked it with a new bass line, different drum fills and the use of a talk box to include it on their upcoming album Slippery When Wet. Jon Bon Jovi did not like the original recording of this song, which can be found as a hidden track on 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can’t Be Wrong. The original 45-RPM single release sold 800,000 copies in the United States, and in 2013 was certified Triple Platinum for over 3 million digital downloads. The song has become the band’s signature song, topping fan-voted lists and re-charting around the world decades after its release. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and their second consecutive No. Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Desmond Child, the single, released in late 1986, was well received at both rock and pop radio and its music video was given heavy rotation at MTV, giving the band their first No. “ Livin’ on a Prayer” is Bon Jovi‘s second chart-topping single from their 12× platinum Slippery When Wet album. “It’s My Life” is also notable for its line referencing fellow New Jerseyan Frank Sinatra: “My heart is like an open highway / Like Frankie said / I did it ‘ My Way‘.” Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora apparently had a disagreement over those lines, with Bon Jovi recalling:įrom the release: Slippery When Wet (Album) The song has many classic Bon Jovi features, such as Sambora’s use of the talk box, and a line in the second verse “For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down” refers to Tommy and Gina, a fictional working class couple that Bon Jovi and Sambora first wrote about in their 1986 hit “ Livin’ on a Prayer“. The song is arguably their most well known post-1980s hit single and it has been performed live at almost all shows since its release. Though the band had moved away from the glam-oriented sound with 1992’s Keep the Faith, it has the distinction of making Bon Jovi one of the only bands once classified as 1980s glam metal to reach the top 40 in the 2000s, a testament to how the song managed to introduce the band to a new, younger fanbase. The song charted in the top 10 across several countries (although it only reached number 33 in the US). It was written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Max Martin. “ It’s My Life” is Bon Jovi‘s first single from the album Crush. The track is notable for the performance of Jeff Beck on guitar. The song features a music video and remains a crowd favorite with Bon Jovi fans, despite the fact that the song was not released as one of the band’s singles, and only by Jon.
However, the request inspired him to write “Blaze of Glory” with lyrics more topical to the film. The song was allegedly recorded by Jon Bon Jovi because Emilio Estevez requested Bon Jovi’s song “ Wanted Dead or Alive” for the soundtrack to Young Guns II, but Bon Jovi did not think the lyrics, about the band constantly touring, fit the theme of the Western movie. “Blaze of Glory” also topped the ARIA music chart in Australia for a total of six weeks, and reached No.
