The Story Behind: Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet, Ep 160

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Bon Jovi put the hours in on the Jersey Shore club scene before hitting the big time in the 1980s with their breakthrough album Slippery When Wet. The guys discuss Jon's golden retriever good looks, Ritchie's overused pinch harmonics, and the power of an entire stadium singing back at you.
