Five men. Rock guitars. Pop sensibility. Stirred up in a melting pot called Bon Jovi. The story of the biggest pop-rock peddlers since KISS began when lead singer Jon Bon Jovi was a janitor in a recording studio. His is a story that has come a long way, busting out of New Jersey in the early 1980s and breaking into the charts with the multi platinum Slippery when Wet, which put pop and rock in a sizzling concoction of guitars, synths and pop harmonies. It was big, bold pop sound that kick-started the hair-band and spandex movement. Bon Jovi’s rock wasn’t about rebellion, it was about good times and optimism, it was about ... living on a prayer. �

SAMBORA SET UP LEMONADE STAND

RICHIE SAMBORA taught his young daughter a valuable lesson in giving when he set up a lemonade stand outside his home to raise cash for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The BON JOVI rocker insists he didn't plan on raising a fortune but thought it would be a good chance to show seven-year-old AVA ELIZABETH how important it is to help those less fortunate.
He says, "I think that really teaches kids a lot of humility and the independence and the strength and the courage to actually give."

Rock and Country, Partners in Marketing

On Monday night, the remarkably durable 1980's band Bon Jovi became the first group to play the Nokia Theater, a notably uncozy new rock club in Times Square. The concert was a masterpiece of cross-promotion, designed to advertise the club, the club's sponsors, the band, the band's new album ("Have a Nice Day," released by Island Def Jam Records) and also, finally, America Online, which broadcast the performance at aol.com.

BON JOVI HOPE TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH FRANZ

BON JOVI are hoping rock sensations FRANZ FERDINAND will join them onstage when their world tour hits Scotland in 2006.
The KEEP THE FAITH hitmakers are huge fans of the Scottish chart stars since they heard breakthrough single TAKE ME OUT, and hope Franz Ferdinand will accept their invite.
Guitarist RICHIE SAMBORA says, "Whoever shows up at our gigs has to play- whether it be ELTON JOHN or ERIC CLAPTON. It's like a big jam session whether they like it or not.
I think Franz Ferdinand are killer and I love their songs. We'd like to get them on stage to play with everyone."

Bon Jovi rocks to a country beat

A decade or so ago, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora said, it would have been unlikely to see the Jersey-bred rock band performing on the same stage with a country group.

"I don't know if it would have been acceptable," he said. "Now you can put your music on commercials. Led Zeppelin sells Cadillacs. The world is changing. Before it wasn't cool. Now it is."
