2008 Bon Jovi

Whether 'Bon Jovi' brings to mind the energetic pop-metal quintet or its good-looking lead singer, Jon Bon Jovi, you're thinking of people who can rock an arena with music that ranges from romantic to raucous. They've been doing that since 1983, yet their immense popularity in the '80s hasn't trapped them in the past. Bon Jovi tickets wouldn't sell out all around the world like they do based on nostalgia alone. Join Jon and the rest of the band on their Have a Nice Day Tour in support of their newest album, 2007’s Lost Highway.

Current group members are Jon, born John Francis Bongiovi, who plays guitar, piano, and harmonica as well as handling the lead vocals; Richie Sambora on lead guitar, which also can be a twelve-string or a sitar; Tico Torres on drums and percussion; David Bryan on keyboards; and Hugh McDonald, unofficially subbing for original member Alec John Such, on bass guitar. Richie, David, and Hugh all contribute to the singing as well.

After Slippery When Wet (1986), New Jersey (1988), and Keeping the Faith (1992) went multi-platinum status around the world, critics and fans alike were eager to see if they could retain their fan base. The group managed to subtly change their image in the early '90s, moving away from metal and concentrating on straightforward arena-rock and big ballads. The shift in style worked, and Bon Jovi were the only American pop-metal band of the '80s to retain a sizable audience in the '90s. What's more, in the 2000s, Bon Jovi's fan-base seems bigger than ever. It's certainly broader, as seen by 'Who Says You Can't Go Home' making it to #1 on the country music chart.

Bon Jovi's eighth studio album, Bounce, released in the fall of 2002, is a reference to the world's ability to bounce back after the terrorist attacks of September 11th as well as a testament to the band's longevity and resilience. Have A Nice Day (2005) confirmed that, reaching #1 in Canada and #2 on the Billboard 200. The most fun is experiencing this group's intensity live.
