[编辑] 历史
[编辑] 乐队组成
乐队的创立人 琼 邦乔维 在13岁的时候在他一个叫做raze的小乐队开始演奏钢琴和吉他. 他被一所天主教男子学校录取,这学校就是Metuchen, New Jersey的圣 约瑟芬高中 , 但他却留下来上了一所公立学校 Sayreville War Memorial High School.[1] 在16岁的时候,邦乔维遇见了大卫 布莱恩 (born David Bryan Rashbaum) 并且组建了一个名字来自于新泽西高速公路的叫做的亚特兰蒂斯城高速公路翻唱乐队 .他们在新泽西俱乐部演奏,尽管他们还未成年.在他们10多岁的光景,邦乔维用John Bongiovi和Wild Ones的名字,在"快车道"一样的本地俱乐部或者是当地出名的活动的开幕式上演奏.
By mid-1982,离开学校而业余时间在女鞋商店工作的邦乔维在Power Station Studios得到了一份工作.他的表弟 托尼 邦乔维 与别人合伙经营在曼哈顿的一间录音工作室. 邦乔维制作了一些小样 (including one produced by Billy Squier) 并寄给许多唱片公司,但是都石沉大海.
1983年邦乔维去拜访了纽约萨克赛斯湖一家无线电台WAPP 103.5FM "苹果电台". 他直接找到销售主任 约翰 拉斯曼John Lassman, 正是他把"runaway"包括到了电台制作的本地明星专辑候选作品里面. 拉斯曼和另外一个销售经理戴夫 汉密尔顿Dave Hamilton以及音乐导演/午后DJ 霍巴特Chip Hobart听了邦乔维的歌就喜欢上了他,决定把这歌收录到专辑里面. 邦乔维开始并不情愿但最后还是把他和录音棚音乐家一起制作的"Runaway"给了他们(原创于1980年). 帮助邦乔维录制"Runaway"的音乐家就是出名的All Star Review.他们是: 吉他手 戴夫 萨博Dave Sabo 蒂姆 皮尔斯 Tim Pierce, 键盘手 罗伊 比坦Roy Bittan, 鼓手 弗兰克 拉若可 Frankie LaRocka 以及贝斯手 胡基 麦当劳Hugh McDonald.
这首歌开始在纽约地区的广播中播放,然后行业中的几个主要电台也开始放这首歌. 在1983年邦乔维召集了大卫 布莱恩,布莱恩又叫来了贝斯手 埃里克 约翰Alec John Such 和熟练的鼓手 特克 托雷斯Tico Torres.
主音吉他是邦乔维的邻居,戴夫 萨博Dave Sabo (a.k.a. The Snake), 正是他在以后组建了穷街乐队.而他的位置被 里奇 萨博拉Richie Sambora所取代. 在加入乐队以前, 萨博拉和Joe Cocker在一起巡演, 和一个叫仁慈的乐队一起演奏 还为Kiss乐队试音. 他还在Message乐队的Lessons专辑里参与演奏, 长岛唱片公司在1995年发行了这张CD. Message 原本被贴上了Led Zeppelin的 Swan Song Records 标签, 尽管这张专辑从来没发行.
Tico Torres 也是一位有经验的音乐家, 参与了Phantom's Operad 的演奏和录制, The Marvelettes和Chuck Berry. 他出现在26张专辑里, 最近的是 Franke and the Knockouts, 一支1980s早期的犹太乐队单曲合集.
David Bryan 离开了他和Bon Jovi 创建的乐队去学医. 在大学里面他意识到自己全心追求的是音乐 然后他考上了纽约的音乐学校Juilliard School. 当 Bon Jovi 召集他的朋友说他要组建一支乐队还可能要做一张专辑时, Bryan 追随了 Bon jovi 放弃了他的学业.

[编辑] 1983-1985
Once the band began playing showcases and opening for local talent, they caught the attention of record executive Derek Shulman, who signed them to Mercury Records, part of the PolyGram company. Because Jon Bon Jovi wanted a group name, Derek Shulman and the A&R staff at PolyGram came up with Bon Jovi.
With the help of their new manager Doc McGhee, the band's debut album, Bon Jovi, was released on January 21, 1984. The album went Gold in the U.S and was also released in the UK. The single "Runaway" was the band's first Top 40 hit, reaching #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. The group found themselves opening for ZZ Top at Madison Square Garden (before their first album had been released), and for Scorpions and Kiss in the US and Europe. They also made an appearance on the popular television program American Bandstand.
In 1985, Bon Jovi's second album 7800° Fahrenheit was released. While embarking on a tour opening up for Ratt, the album received a poor response by critics. The leading British metal magazine Kerrang!, which had been very positive about the debut record, called the album "a pale imitation of the Bon Jovi we have got to know and learned to love." Jon Bon Jovi himself later said it could have and should have been better.
[编辑] 1986-1990
In April of 1986, Bon Jovi packed up and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia to record their third album. Six months of decadent living and non-stop studio work resulted in Slippery When Wet. The album, produced by Bruce Fairbairn and recorded and mixed by Bob Rock, was released in August of 1986 and was destined to represent what would become the trademark Bon Jovi sound. The first single, "You Give Love a Bad Name", became the band's first Number One single on the Billboard charts. The follow-up single, "Livin' On A Prayer" hit Number One as well, spending four weeks at the top position. The album's third single, "Wanted Dead or Alive" peaked at #7 on the Billboard charts.
When Slippery When Wet was released in August of 1986, Bon Jovi was the support act for "38 Special". By the end of 1986, Bon Jovi were well into six months of headline dates in arenas across America.With the overwhelming success of Slippery When Wet Bon Jovi were bona fide superstars.The album spent 94 weeks on the Billboard charts(eight of those weeks at #1) and sold twelve million copies in U.S. to date.
In 1987, the band headlined England's "Monsters of Rock" festival with Dio, Metallica, W.A.S.P., Anthrax, and Cinderella. The tour took its toll on singer Jon Bon Jovi when he began having vocal difficulties. The extremely high notes and unrelenting schedule threatened to damage his voice permanently. With the help of a vocal coach, he made it through the tour. Bon Jovi has tended to sing slightly lower pitches since then.
"I'll Be There for You" (1988) File:Bon Jovi- I'll Be There For You.ogg
The next album was 1988's New Jersey. The album was recorded shortly after the tour for Slippery When Wet. The resulting album was a commercial hit,sold seven million copies in U.S. and became the first hard rock album to spawn five Top Ten singles on Billboard Hot 100 singles chart . "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You" both hit number one, and "Born to Be My Baby" (#3), "Lay Your Hands on Me" (#7), and "Living in Sin" (#9) rounded out the list.
Bon Jovi mounted another huge worldwide tour that continued throughout 1989 and 1990. They visited more than 22 countries and performed more than 232 shows before it was all over. The personal highpoint for the band was their June 11, 1989 sell-out homecoming at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. In August of 1989, the band headed to Russia for the Moscow Music Peace Festival, a 2-day rock concert staged at the Lenin Olympic Stadium to promote two goals: 1) raise awareness about and provide treatment for drug and alcohol abuse among Russian teens and 2) introduce Russia to rock 'n' roll American style. Bon Jovi were the first band officially sanctioned by the Russian government to perform in Russia and New Jersey was released on the state-owned record label, Melodiya, a privilege no Western artist had ever been granted before.
Perhaps, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora's most influential performance was on the 1989 Mtv Video Music Awards. Armed only with acoustic guitars, They performed "Wanted Dead Or Alive" and "Livin On A Prayer." To Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, it wasn't much of a big deal; the songs were written on two acoustic guitars and, therefore, stripping them down to their basic form was a natural thing to do. However, the response from those who witnessed the performance, both live at the awards and at home on television, was instantaneous and enthusiastic. This performance has generally been acknowledged as the inspirational spark that led to the MTV Unplugged series and the catalyst for the subsequent popularity of the unplugged movement in popular music.
New Jersey was supported by video releases such as New Jersey: The Videos and Access All Areas, as well as a massive 18-month tour, originally billed as The Jersey Syndicate Tour.
[编辑] 1990-1992
Between 1990 and 1992, the band members went their separate ways. The exhaustion of recording both Slippery When Wet and New Jersey back to back with highly paced world tours after each album took its toll on the band. The band have since stated that there were few if any goodbyes between them at the end of the New Jersey tour. During the time they took off from the scene, the band retreated to their own interests and showed no desire for making another album.
Jon Bon Jovi recorded a solo album, a soundtrack to the movie Young Guns II (in which he had an extremely brief cameo), more commonly known as Blaze of Glory. Released in 1990, the album featured high profile guests such as Elton John, Little Richard, and Jeff Beck. The album fared well commercially, received positive reviews and quickly achieved double platinum status in US. The title track, "Blaze of Glory", hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Jon an Academy Award nomination for Best Song. "Blaze of Glory" was awarded a Golden Globe.
Sambora, with the help of Tico Torres and David Bryan, released a solo album entitled Stranger In This Town, in 1991. The album featured Eric Clapton on the song "Mr. Bluesman". David Bryan recorded a soundtrack for the horror movie The Netherworld, which was the brighter part of that year after he was hospitalized with an illness caused by a South American parasite.
[编辑] 1992-1996
In 1992, the band met together and managed to resolve their differences by allowing each member to speak about his feelings without interruption from another. Upon resolving their issues, the band returned with the album Keep the Faith. The album was released in November of 1992 to the most critical acclaim that the band had ever received. Produced by Bob Rock, the album signified an ending to their early Glam Metal roots in previous albums and introduced a more "rock n roll"-driven groove to the album. Much more complex, lyrically and musically, the album proved that Bon Jovi could still be a viable band in 1992, despite the decline of the late 80s pop metal genre into which the band had been lumped and despite the industry's and audience's growing affinity for Grunge. As Bon Jovi's sound morphed itself to work in the 90s music scene, their image changed, as well. Gone were the excessive rock 'n' roll trappings of spandex, hairspray and hair. Singles "Bed of Roses," which was a major Top 10 hit, "Keep the Faith" and "In These Arms" all hit the Top 40 in the U.S. Keep The Faith reached double platinum status in U.S. and sold more than ten million copies worldwide.
In 1994, Bon Jovi released a greatest hits album titled Cross Road, with two new tracks: the hit singles "Always" and "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night". "Always" spent thirty-two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Bon Jovi's biggest hit. The song peaked at #4 on the U.S. charts and at #1 in countries across Europe, Asia and in Australia. The single sold very well, going platinum in the U.S. Album sales soared all over the world and Bon Jovi's popularity grew exponentially on an international level. Cross Road has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide to date and it continues to perform well.
That same year, bassist Alec John Such left the band, the first lineup change since Bon Jovi began. Hugh McDonald, who was the bassist on "Runaway," unofficially replaced Such as bassist, with rumors that he had also recorded bass on previous albums. Jon Bon Jovi said, regarding the departure of Such: "Of course it hurts. But I learned to accept and respect it. The fact that I'm a workaholic, studio in, studio out, stage on, stage off, want to be dealing with music day and night, doesn't mean everyone else has to adjust to that pace. Alec wanted to quit for a while now, so it didn't come as a complete surprise."
"This Ain't a Love Song" (1995) File:Bon Jovi- This Ain't A Love Song.ogg
Faced with the first change in their line-up since the band's inception and Cross Road lingering on the charts as a massive hit, Bon Jovi had to decide what to do about their next album, which was finished and just about ready to be released.
With Hugh McDonald called in to handle bass duties, Bon Jovi opted to tour heavily in support of Cross Road and, while out on tour, These Days was released in June of 1995. "This Ain't a Love Song" was the first single off the album and with an exotic video filmed in Thailand, the ballad emerged as another worldwide hit for the band. Critics responded to These Days much as they had to Keep The Faith, noting that the band had continued to mature lyrically and explore different styles of music, while keeping the music undeniably Bon Jovi.
Despite critical kudos, These Days spun off only one hit single in the U.S., "This Ain't A Love Song" hit the Billboard Top 20. Nevertheless, the other tracks proved sufficiently popular to garner various successful European singles, including "Hey God", "Something for the Pain", "Lie to Me", and the title track "These Days". The album went platinum in U.S. but sold much more around Europe."These Days" topped the charts in Europe, UK, Austalia, Japan and sold eight million copies worldwide.
The band's popularity continued to grow by leaps and bounds internationally and the summer of 1995 saw Bon Jovi merging their Cross Road tour into the These Days tour. The tour that kicked off in India took the band though Asia, Europe and the Americas before the band's first-ever shows in South Africa. A career highpoint came in June 1995 when Bon Jovi sold out three-nights at London's historical Wembley Stadium in London, England. With film crews in tow, the concerts were documented for Bon Jovi: Live Form London, a Grammy-nominated video of their record-breaking appearance.
[编辑] 1997-2000
Following the overwhelming global success of the These Days album and tour, the members of Bon Jovi went their separate ways. But unlike the period following the New Jersey tour, tainted with uncertainty, this hiatus was a conscious group decision. The members of Bon Jovi agreed to a self-imposed two-year sabbatical from the band.
Tico Torres used the opportunity further pursue his painting while David Bryan started writing and composing various musicals. In 1998, Richie Sambora released his second solo outing called Undiscovered Soul.
Jon Bon Jovi had also been bitten by the acting bug. He landed lead roles in movies Little City and The Leading Man, and supporting roles in Moonlight and Valentino, Homegrown, and U-571, among others. While he was free between filming different movies, Jon wrote what would become his second solo album, 1997's Destination Anywhere. The album received positive reviews and was a success across Europe. A short movie of the same name was recorded around the record's release, based entirely on the songs from the record and starring Jon Bon Jovi, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon and Whoopi Goldberg. Dave Stewart of Eurythmics played guitar on the record, and produced some of the tracks.
Bon Jovi reunited in 1999 to record the song "Real Life" for the movie EdTV.
[编辑] 2000s
After a nearly three-year hiatus, during which several band members worked on independent projects, Bon Jovi regrouped in 1999 to begin work on their next studio album. Their 2000 release, Crush, enjoyed success both in the U.S. and overseas, thanks in part to the smash-hit single "It's My Life". Crush, which also produced such hits as "Say It Isn't So" and "Thank You For Loving Me", eventually went double platinum in the U.S, sold eight million copies worldwide, and helped introduce them to a new, younger fan base.
The Crush Tour, which began that summer, originally encompassed only 60 or so shows and was extended because of demand, with the band remaining on tour through mid-2001 with the Pittsburgh show being the highlight with Pittsburgh's pre openers "Regulation Planet". While on tour, Bon Jovi released a collection of live performances from throughout their career in an album entitled, One Wild Night: Live 1985-2001. The Crush tour was notable in that the European 2000 leg included the band headlining two nights at Wembley Stadium. These were the final shows at the venue before it was demolished. Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the band performed as part of the star-studded The Concert for New York City benefit for victims and their families. They performed an acoustic medley of "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive" with a stirring finale of "It's My Life".
In late 2002, Bounce hit stores. Bounce debuted at #2 on the "Billboard 200" chart, making it Bon Jovi's highest debut in the band's history at that time (this personal record was broken 5 years later when Lost Highway debuted at #1), but its sales quickly fell off although. Bounce produced the hit single "Everyday".
The band went on the U.S. Bounce Tour for this album, during which they made history as the last band to play Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia before it was torn down. The band also released a promotional album through Target, featuring eight demo and live tracks.
Following the end of the Bounce Tour in August 2003 in Pittsburgh with pre openers "Regulation Planet", Bon Jovi embarked on a project; originally intending to produce an album consisting of live acoustic performances, the band ended up rewriting, re-recording and reinventing 12 of their biggest hits in a new and much different light. This Left Feels Right was released in November 2003.
The following year, the band released a box set entitled 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong, the title being an homage to Elvis Presley's 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong. The set consisted of four CDs packed with 38 unreleased and 12 rare tracks, as well as a DVD. The box set marked the sales of 100 million Bon Jovi albums and also commemorated the 20th anniversary of the release of the band's first record in 1984.
In November 2004, Bon Jovi was honored with the Award for Merit at the American Music Awards, where they performed a sneak preview of an unfinished song, "Have a Nice Day". Bon Jovi also participated in Live 8 on July 2, 2005, where they debuted the full, final version of "Have a Nice Day", alongside "Livin' on a Prayer" and "It's My Life". On August 20, 2005, the band headlined Miller Brewing Co.'s Big Brew-Ha, celebrating its 150th anniversary. The free stadium concert at Miller Park in Milwaukee included one preview song from the band's forthcoming album.
Bon Jovi's ninth studio album, Have a Nice Day, was released in September 2005. The album topped the charts around the world, giving Bon Jovi its career-best first week sales of over 202,000 albums. "Have A Nice Day" was the first single off the new album, and debuted at radio worldwide on July 18, 2005. The second single, "Who Says You Can't Go Home", was released in the U.S. in early 2006, although internationally it was the third single release after "Welcome to Wherever You Are". In the U.S., a duet version of "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with country singer Jennifer Nettles of the band Sugarland was released, and in May 2006, Bon Jovi became the first Rock & Roll Band to have a #1 hit on Billboard's Hot Country Chart. On February 11, 2007, Bon Jovi also won the Grammy Award, for "Best Country Collaboration with Vocals" for "Who Says You Can't Go Home".
Soon after the release of Have A Nice Day, the band started gearing up for the new 2005-2006 worldwide Have A Nice Day Tour. This tour, being shorter than previous ones with only seventy-five shows originally planned, took the band to numerous stages and arenas throughout the world. During the tour, Bon Jovi performed as the headlining act at Nascar's Daytona 500 on February 19, 2006. Originally it was planned for them to be the first act to perform at the new Wembley Stadium in London, but the stadium's rebuilding project was delayed until 2007. The concerts were therefore moved to the Milton Keynes National Bowl and Hull, KC Stadium with the same performance dates.[2] Following dates in Japan and Europe, Bon Jovi extended the tour and returned to the U.S. in 2006 for a few stadium shows, including 3 sold-out shows in the band's native New Jersey at Giants Stadium. On February 7, 2006, a promotional album, Live from the Have a Nice Day Tour, was released through Wal-Mart, which contained six live tracks recorded in December 2005 in Boston. Three of these tracks were released in the U.K. in June 2006 as B-sides on the single "Who Says You Can't Go Home".
On November 14, 2006, Bon Jovi were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame alongside James Brown and Led Zeppelin, joining music legends such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2, Madonna and Elvis Presley. They will not be eligible for the U.S. equivalent until 2009.
With the end of the Have A Nice Day Tour, Bon Jovi began to throw around ideas for their next project. Among the potential offerings were going to Nashville to record with country stars (following the success of "Who Says You Can't Go Home"), a second greatest hits CD, a new studio album, and even new movies.
In June 2007, Bon Jovi released their tenth studio album, Lost Highway. The album debuted at number #1 on the Billboard charts, the first time that Bon Jovi have had a number one album on the U.S. charts since the release of New Jersey in 1988. The album sold 292,000 copies in its first week on sale in the U.S., and became Bon Jovi's third US number one album. The first single from the new album was "(You Want to) Make a Memory", which debuted (and peaked) at #27 in the Billboard Hot 100, Bon Jovi's highest ever debut in the U.S. charts. The album reached Number #1 in Japan, Canada, Australia and Europe, and reached number #2 in the UK.
To promote the new album, Bon Jovi made several television appearances, including the 6th annual CMT Awards in Nashville, American Idol, and MTV Unplugged, as well as playing at the Live Earth concert at Giants Stadium[1]. They also performed ten promotional gigs in the U.S., Canada, the UK and Japan. As part of the 'tour', Bon Jovi were the first group to perform at London's new O2 Arena (formerly the Millennium Dome) when it opened to the public on June 24, 2007. The 23,000-seater stadium sold out within 30 minutes of tickets being released.[3]
On June 6, 2007, Richie Sambora checked himself into a rehabilitation facility[4], following a bad time in his personal life, with the end of his marriage to actress Heather Locklear, the death of his father Adam, and reports of alcohol problems. [5] [6] [7] This meant that he missed a concert in Puerto Rico as well as several television appearances, with backup guitarist Bobby Bandiera taking his place. He checked out on June 13, and was present for Bon Jovi's remaining summer concerts.[8] On the DVD for the Lost Highway concert, the band dedicated the song, "Seat Next To You," to the memory of Adam Sambora.
When questioned on American Idol, Jon Bon Jovi stated that the band would embark on a tour beginning in January, after playing ten dates in New Jersey in the fall. The band were criticised due to the perceived excessive ticket prices charged for the shows, tickets for which were priced as high as $337 according to one report[9] and $1000 according to another.[10]According to Richie Sambora this tour would be a greatest hits tour, so it would not be in direct support of Lost Highway. However, in October 2007 the band announced the Lost Highway Tour. Starting with the New Jersey gigs, the band toured Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the U.S. and then Europe, finishing in the summer. In early December 2007 the band took time off from their Canadian tour to become the first ever American band to headline the Royal Variety Performance in Liverpool, England, performing in front of the Queen herself.[11] The U.S. leg of the tour began February 18, 2008 in Omaha, Nebraska.
With $252 million in ticket sales alone from the hugely successful Lost Highway Tour, the band is looking to move on from the Country Rock theme of Lost Highway. When asked by Billboard.com whether they will release another country album, Lead Guitarist, Richie Sambora said, "No, we have to change. We have to do something different. I don't know what that's going to be. As we get into the writing process and continue on, we'll see what that's going to look like. I think it comes to, stylistically, what songs you're writing. What kind of music is coming out of you, and what's the mood of those songs. You have to color those little drawings with the right production value and the right music."
Sambora also recently stated in the same interview with Billboard.com, "We've been filming a documentary and are in the process of mixing a live DVD of last year's Lost Highway concert tour. Also, I think we're looking at doing a greatest hits album next year. Jon and I are writing some new songs for it and to just load up for the next Bon Jovi record."
In 2009, a new version of Bon Jovi's “Keep The Faith” was released by Jon Bon Jovi and the Washington DC Youth Choir on the compilation album Oh Happy Day: An All-Star Music Celebration. [12]
