Bon Jovi is a Rock band from New Jersey. Following the release of their first single, Runaway, in 1983 and their self titled debut album in 1984, they quickly earned the attention of the record-buying public who sent subsequent efforts like NEW JERSEY and SLIPPERY WHEN WET to multi-platinum status. They have since sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, played live to hundreds of thousands of fans over 8 world tours and across 2 decades, won an impressive collection of awards and produced 9 studio albums, 4 compilation/live albums and various solo albums and DVDs. Bon Jovi has sometimes been classified as Hair Metal — sometimes even regarded as the form's prime shapers — but have proved much more durable than most groups so labelled. It has been a band which inspired many of today's bands, spending years perfecting a style of timeless rock and also inspiring & opening the popular "Unplugged" series of MTV programs.
