Bon Jovi quick facts:
country of origin: USA
established before: 27 years (in 1983.)
main genre: hard rock
official webpage: www.bonjovi.com
Hard rockers from New Jersey have seen it all.
They climbed the mountains of fame by being the best in what was the current trend - glamy, hairy hard rock : )
Yeah, these were the golden years for big hair, shiny suits and all other gimmick you can imagine.
What made Bon Jovi stand out is their strong ability to adopt to current trends.
As soon as Nirvana started cooking things up in Seattle Jon Bon Jovi decided to cut hair shorter and bring in a new sound. This would eventually prove like a good strategy as all other hair bands (with very little exceptions) have gone bankrupt as soon as 1991.
Does this trend-following make Bon Jovi a bad band? On the contrary - it makes them great !
Bon Jovi always try to make a next great hit, but essentially majority of their songs carry the working class roots from the New Jersey music scene.
