SWW Featured in Classic Rock Magazine
The fourth edition of Classic Rock Presents AOR is in the stores now – with a front cover that celebrates the 25th anniversary of the release of Bon Jovi’s career-defining Slippery When Wet album.
The year is 1986 – and it’s make-or-break time for Bon Jovi, following the disappointing sales of their second album, 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit. In an epic 12-page feature, Malcolm Dome recalls how New Jersey’s most ambitious met Desmond Child and aimed for the sky.
Featuring previously unpublished pictures from the album sleeve session by official band photographer Mark Weiss, we investigate the making of Bon Jovi’s make-or-break third album which subsequently catapulted them into superstardom.
You can order it online here.
In the States, you can pick it up at Barnes and Noble. Ordering online is available worldwide.

oohhh think i'm stopping at barnes and noble!!!!
don't care. when someone decides to write about their post-slippery albums that deserve more than slippery, maybe i'd care. but im neither holding my breath nor saving my money.
Just ordered mine online :)
Gotta love this blog and its daily updates and infos! Please, never stop blogging, Hath! LOL. You're my no. 1 Jovi information source ;)))
@Anon1, What would be on that list? I know for most fans, These Days is #1... what would you put out there as "more deserving"?
Thanks @Anon2. I couldn't do it without my friends, though, passing along all sorts of goodies.
And of course, Google Alerts :)

NJ KTF and TD are all way more deserving of at least inclusion in defining BJ. Other than that they are more mature sounding, and gasp, written less by Child than Slippery. With other bands, at least when their albums are assessed, there is more than just one single one noted, not to mention that they've actually listened to those albums in order to come to that conclusion, unlike with BJ.
No one will ever convince me Let it Rock, Without Love, Social Disease, Wild in the Streets arent at the very least mediocre and dated, though I think they're worse than that, I'd say they're worse than most stuff off their first 2 albums.
