About this album

Slippery When Wet is the album that turned Bon Jovi into global hard rock headliners. Released in 1986, it sharpened their blend of glam-metal swagger, radio-ready hooks and big choruses into a crossover breakthrough, driven by anthems such as You Give Love a Bad Name, Livin’ on a Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive. With glossy production and a clear AOR sensibility, the record helped define mainstream rock in the late 1980s and became the band’s commercial and cultural calling card. Its massive chart success and enduring popularity made it one of the era’s most recognisable rock albums.
