Jon Bon Jovi reveals details leading to the failure of his band's second album

Jon Bon Jovi, also known as John Francis Bongiovi Jr., gained recognition after establishing the rock band Bon Jovi around 41 years ago. While their first two albums failed to create the desired impact, the third project, Slippery When Wet, received positive feedback.

The album, which came out in 1986, reached the top of the US Billboard 200. It included 10 songs in the soundtrack, such as Never Say Goodbye, Let It Rock, I'd Die For You, and Without Love. The title was also included in the list of the best metal albums by different outlets.

In an interview with Louder last month, Jon Bon Jovi addressed the failure of the group's second album, 7800° Fahrenheit, saying that everything was wrong with the project. He added that the band had to undergo a tough phase after its release.

"I also reckon we went for the wrong producer. Lance Quinn wasn't the man for us, and that added to the feeling that we were going about it badly. None of us want to live in that mental state ever again. We've put the record behind us, and moved on," he shared.

The band's latest project, Forever, was released in June 2024. It received a positive response and also managed to grab the top spots on different charts.
