Jon Bon Jovi recalled the shock of Richie Sambora’s unexpected departure from Bon Jovi and said the guitarist had made “no great overtures” about returning.

In recent months Sambora has talked about the possibility of a reunion – especially if Bon Jovi’s voice issues are resolved and he’s able to tour again. The frontman recalled the unexpected lineup change in a new interview with Classic Rock. “It was a shock,” he said. “Nobody anticipated it; no one saw it coming. I ta...

During a conversation with UCR’s Matt Wardlaw, Jon Bon Jovi explained why he didn’t think much of the song initially. “When we were writing it, we did not have the baseline,” the frontman noted. “We were picking on one note on the guitar, so it almost sounded like ‘London Calling.’” READ MORE: Top 100 ’80s Rock Albums While most bands would be happy to have a tune reminiscent of the Clash’s classic track, Bon Jovi didn’t think the song fit his ba...

Richie Sambora has only one regret regarding his exit from Bon Jovi. The guitarist, who abruptly quit the band in 2013 to spend more time with his family, was a recent guest on The Allison Hagendorf Show. When asked what he would change about his departure from Bon Jovi if he could go back in time, Sambora was forthright. “I probably would have left earlier,” the rocker admitted. “I might have left a couple of albums before because, I think Jon [Bon Jovi] was moving into a place where he wanted to not really be a band.” This was not the first time the guitarist sensed Bon Jovi would rather go ...

Bon Jovi‘s “Livin’ on a Prayer” was a multi-platinum international Top 5 smash that topped the American charts for an entire month in 1987. This no doubt came as a surprise to the group’s frontman, who really didn’t like the song when it was first written. “It wasn’t that I didn’t want to record it, but I wasn’t all that impressed on the day that we wrote it,” Jon Bon Jovi tells People magazine. “It was the simple chord progression, the melodies and the lyrics.” Then Hugh McDonald made an uncredited contribution, and “Livin’ on a Prayer” suddenly had new momentum. “The bass line came to life i...
