'I never laid out a plan for what I wanted people to feel from listening to our songs. If a song is
pure of heart, if it comes from an emotional place and is not just 'crafted', chances are the
listener will take that story and make it their own.' - Jon Bon Jovi
Through exclusive interviews, Jon Bon Jovi shares the intimate stories behind the artifacts,
shedding light on the creative process behind his songwriting, the making of the band's
legendary albums, and the key performances that cemented Bon Jovi's place in rock history.
Jon's narrative describes writing lyrics in his high school notebooks and playing the Asbury
Park scene as an ambitious teenager, recording his first hit 'Runaway', which was soon to be
followed by the now Multi-Platinum Slippery When Wet and New Jersey albums, igniting the
band's 'rocket ship to success' and, four decades on, brings us right up to date with the making
of the band's recent 16th studio album, Forever. His candid reflections offer a deeper
understanding of the band's brotherhood, their distinctive style, and the unwavering trust that
fuelled their success.
'I was single-minded. There was no plan B, even before there was an audience. It was just the
feeling that you got singing a song, and then playing in a band. There was something in that
electricity, in the sheer sound of loud. There was something about it that captured my
imagination.' - Jon Bon Jovi
