hello folks!

So two years went FAST, my original thread for SWW30 can be found here:

So TODAY is the day New Jersey album was released THIRTY YEARS AGO. I absolutely LOVE the album. Its the pinnacle of Bon Jovi's career. Extremely well produced, catchy yet down to earth songwriting and excellent playing and participation from the whole band.

First seven months of 1988 band was away from public eye and according to various interviews was facing ENORMOUS pressure to top the success of Slippery When Wet. And boy did they top that! Although overall sales werent as high as Slippery, the band basically reigned the hard rock scene until early 1990 when the Jersey Syndicate Tour ended.

Here are two essential audios to listen to.

19th September 1988 - Rockline interview etc. with Jon, Richie and Dave


New Jersey 30th Anniversary w/ Redbeard featuring Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora
(this webcast was updated this year, I'm 99% certain the interview was conducted few years earlier (~2013 or so) as I did listen to this already couple of years back being 25th anniversary or so)

As mentioned before, got rather wide collection of Bon Jovi articles from the 80s and as months go by I'll be posting these articles etc., related to New Jersey here on this thread for your viewing / reading pleasure. Something that most of you may not have seen.

...SO, Lets go...AGAIN....!
