Bon Jovi have reissued their third studio album "Slippery When Wet". first released in 1986, it secured the American band's international breakthrough. In the style of hair metal, Bon Jovi also helped the musical style to soar. The cover shows a wet bin bag with blurred lettering. However, the naming of the 13-track album proved to be complicated. In addition to suggestions such as "Guns N' Roses" and "Wanted Dead Or Alive", there was also "Slippery When Wet" to choose from. The band decided on "Slippery When Wet" thanks to an inspiration during a visit to a nightclub. Although in the style of hair metal, elements of pop-rock and rock cannot be ignored. Apart from "Never Say Goodbye", Bon Jovi set a remarkable pace on the album. The band was inspired by love and the joy of life ("Livin' On A Prayer"). Only "Wanted Dead Or Alive" falls thematically out of the pattern. "Slippery When Wet", the major breakthrough album by the band inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, is now available in a special deluxe edition with rare and unreleased tracks. The album, which includes Bon Jovi classics such as "Livin' On A Prayer", "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Wanted Dead or Alive" and many more, has been certified as a Diamond Album and is one of the 100 best-selling US albums of all time.
