I think it didn't. Although Appetite was released in 1987 it had been mostly flying under the radar and it wasn't popular until roughly August 1988 when the singles started to take off. Bon Jovi started recording New Jersey in March 1988, while at that time Appetite wasn't even in the charts anymore. So no, I don't think it influenced New Jersey. At most, the popular heavier songs from Bon Jovi paved the way for the succes of Welcome To The Jungle and Paradise City.
