Bon Jovi originally comprised Jon Bon Jovi(vocals), Richie Sambora (guitar), David Bryan (keyboards), Tico Torres (drums) and Alec John Such (bass). Bongiovi met Rashbaum at Sayreville High School. They soon joined the R&B cover band Atlantic City Expressway. When Rashbaum moved to New York to study at the Juilliard School of Music, Bongiovi followed. He performed menial tasks in his cousin�s Power Station recording studio for two years before Billy Squieragreed to produce his demo tape. One track, �Runaway�, was played on local radio and appeared on a local artist compilation album. Reunited with Rashbaum, he acquired the services of Sambora (an established session musician), Such, and Torres. By July 1983, they had a recording contract with Polygram and support slots with Eddie MoneyandZZ Top. Jon Bon Jovi�s looks attracted immediate attention for the band. He turned down the lead role in the dance film Footloose to concentrate on his music. Their debut album preceded a headline tour and supports with the Scorpions, Whitesnake, and Kiss. 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit was greeted with cynicism by the media, wary of the band�s manicured image and formularized heavy rock. The album�s mediocrity only fuelled their scorn. The band responded with style. Slippery When Wetwas the biggest selling rock album of 1987, although it originally appeared in August 1986. Three of its tracks; �Wanted Dead Or Alive�, �You Give Love A Bad Name� and �Livin� On A Prayer�, were US hits. When New Jersey followed, it contained �Living In Sin�, a Jon Bon Jovi composition which pointed to his solo future. The rest of 1989 was spent on touring, before the band temporarily retired. He concentrated on his solo career and appeared in his first movie, Young Guns II, releasing a quasi-soundtrack of songs inspired by it as his debut solo album in 1990. He then reunited Bon Jovi for Keep The Faith, satisfying critics and fans who had patiently waited almost four years for new material. Following of the success of the slick ballad, �Always�, in 1994, rumors arose that Such was about to be replaced by Huey McDonald. These Dayswas a typically slick collection of ballads and party rock, containing the hit �This Ain�t A Love Song�. Jon Bon Jovi began to nurture an acting career in the 90s with roles in Moonlight And Valentino and The Leading Man.
