Slippery When Wet

Reseña

El tercer álbum de la banda estadounidense Bon Jovi se titula "Slippery When Wet" y es el más vendido y reconocido de la banda. Apareció publicado el 18 de agosto de 1986 bajo los sellos Mercury Records en Estados Unidos y Vertigo Records para el resto de países. El álbum, grabado en Vancouver (Canadá), fue producido por el canadiense Bruce Fairbairn, quien también trabajó para Aerosmith y AC/DC en algunos de sus discos de mayor éxito.

"Slippery When Wet" es el álbum más vendido de Bon Jovi e incluye algunas de los temas más conocidos de la banda. Debutó en el primer puesto de la lista  Billboard 200 y se mantuvo en dicha posición durante ocho semanas.

Slippery When Wet Portada


Para este álbum el grupo se centró en componer una treintena de nuevos temas en un estilo menos pesado y más cercano al público. Algunos temas fueron compuestos por Jon Bon Jovi junto al guitarrista Richie Sambora, mientras que otros temas fueron co-escritos por el reconocido compositor Desmond Child, famoso por sus trabajos para Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Aerosmith, Scorpions, Robbie Williams, Bonnie Tyler y Alice Cooper, entre otros muchos artistas con los que ha colaborado.

La portada del álbum hubo de ser modificada ya que el diseño inicial incluía la imagen de una mujer exhuberente que la compañía discográfica rechazó por temor a que fuera catalogada de sexista, Finalmente, la portada seleccionada mostraba la imagen de una bolsa de basura negra mojada en la que se escribió sobre el agua la frase "Slippery When Wet" (Resbaladizo cuando está mojado). El título del álbum se les ocurrió tras salir de un local de striptease em Vancouver.

Slippery When Wet Portada inicial


El primer sencillo de "Slippery When Wet" fue el titulado "You Give Love a Bad Name", publicado el 23 de julio de 1986. Fue compuesto por Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora y Desmond Child, con producción de Bruce Fairbairn. El tema debutó en el primer puesto de la lista Billboard Hot 100 y se convirtió en el primer número uno de Bon Jovi. 

La canción fue escrita originalmente por Desmond Child para Bonnie Tyler con el título de "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man) ", pero Child, no contento con el resultado, la reescribió junto a los miembros principales de la banda. El vídeo que acompaña al tema fue rodado durante una actuación de la banda en el Auditorio Olímpico en Los Ángeles, California.

You Give Love a Bad Name


El segundo sencillo, "Livin 'on a Prayer", fue lanzado al mercado el 31 de octubre de 1986. Al igual que el anterior, fue compuesto por Jon Bon Jovi y Richie Sambora junto a Desmond Child y la producción corrió igualmente a cuenta de Bruce Fairbairn.

Este nuevo número uno de Bon Jovi habla sobre la forma en que dos niños se enfrentan a los problemas de la vida en un contexto de crisis económica. El vídeo, dirigido por el realizador estadounidense Wayne Isham, muestra imágenes de la banda ensayando y tocando en público, mezclando tomas en blanco y negro con color.

Livin 'on a Prayer


"Wanted Dead or Alive" apareció como tercer sencillo de "Slippery When Wet" el 3 de marzo de 1987. Escrito por Jon Bon Jovi y Richie Sambora, se convirtió en uno de los temas más conocidos de la banda y su tercer número uno consecutivo. El título rinde homenaje a los personajes del salvaje oeste.

Wanted Dead or Alive


El vídeo, rodado en blanco y negro por Derek M. Allen, muestra imágenes de la banda durante su gira 1986-1987, plasmando la aventura y el agotamiento que supone una larga gira de conciertos y los viajes a lo largo del país.

    letra de Let It Rock

    The weekend comes to this town
    Seven days too soon
    For the ones who have to make up
    What we break up of their rules

    Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
    Tell his boys they're in command
    While Chino danced a tango
    With a broomstick in his hand
    He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
    It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
    To break on through to the other side

    [Chorus:]
    Let it rock, let it go
    You can't stop a fire burning out of control
    Let it rock, let it go
    With the night you're on the loose
    You got to let it rock

    We go down to the Broadway
    Where everybody goes
    To get on their rockin' horse
    And blast that radio
    Well I saw Roxie on the table
    Her girlfriend down below
    They'll give it to the king of swing
    Before it's time to go

    They said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
    It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
    To break on through to the other side

    [Chorus]

    letra de You Give Love A Bad Name

    Shot through the heart
    And you're to blame
    Darling, you give love a bad name...

    An angel's smile is what you sell
    You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
    Chains of love got a hold on me
    When passion's a prison, you can't break free

    Oh, oh, you're a loaded gun (yeah)
    Oh, oh, there's nowhere to run
    No one can save me
    The damage is done

    [Chorus:]
    Shot through the heart
    And you're to blame
    You give love a bad name (bad name)
    I play my part
    And you play your game
    You give love a bad name (bad name)
    You give love a bad name
    You give love a bad name

    Paint your smile on your lips
    Blood red nails on your fingertips
    A school boy's dream, you act so shy
    Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

    Oh, oh, you're a loaded gun
    Oh, oh, there's nowhere to run
    No one can save me
    The damage is done

    [Chorus:]
    Shot through the heart
    And you're to blame
    You give love a bad name (bad name)
    I play my part
    And you play your game
    You give love a bad name (bad name)
    You give love... ah!

    Oh!

    [Chorus:]
    Shot through the heart
    And you're to blame
    You give love a bad name
    I play my part
    And you play your game
    You give love a bad name (bad name)

    Shot through the heart
    And you're to blame
    You give love a bad name (bad name)
    I play my part
    And you play your game
    You give love a bad name (bad name)
    (Whoa) You give love
    (Whoa) You give love (bad name)
    (Whoa) You give love
    (Whoa) You give love (bad name)
    (Whoa) You give love
    (Whoa) You give love (bad name)
    (Whoa) You give love
    (Whoa) You give love (bad name)

    letra de Livin' On A Prayer

    Once upon a time not so long ago

    Tommy used to work on the docks
    Union's been on strike
    He's down on his luck...
    It's tough, so tough

    Gina works the diner all day
    Working for her man,
    She brings home her pay
    For love, for love

    She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got.
    It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
    We've got each other and that's a lot.
    For love we'll give it a shot."

    [Chorus:]
    Whoa, we're half way there
    Whoa, livin' on a prayer
    Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
    Whoa, livin' on a prayer

    Tommy's got his six string in hock
    Now he's holding in
    What he used to make it talk
    So tough, it's tough

    Gina dreams of running away
    When she cries in the night
    Tommy whispers,
    "Baby, it's okay, someday...

    ...We've gotta hold on to what we've got.
    It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
    We've got each other and that's a lot.
    For love we'll give it a shot."

    [Chorus]

    Livin' on a prayer

    We've gotta hold on ready or not
    You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

    [Chorus 2x and fading]

  4. Social DiseaseVer letra 4:18

    [X]

    letra de Social Disease

    You can read it in the papers
    In some places it comes in thirty-two flavors
    But you wouldn't tell no one
    Your favorite if you could

    From the White House to the alleys
    From the President down to Long Tall Sally
    Can't live with it but
    You'll die without it - yes you would

    Senorita's in the kitchen
    She's a fistful of dynamite
    You call 911 but you
    Can't stop the fun tonite, it's alright

    [Chorus:]
    You can't start a fire without a spark
    But there's something that I guarantee
    You can't hide when infection starts
    Because love is a social disease

    Where you look you can find it
    Try to run but you're always behind it
    So you play hide and seek like a blind kid
    Till you're caught - yeah you're caught

    So you'll say that you had some
    But they took it and held it for ransom
    Were they tall, dark, skinny or
    Handsome - you won't talk

    So you telephone your doctor
    Just to see what pill to take
    You know there's no prescription
    Gonna wipe this one away

    [Chorus]

    So full of high grade octane
    She could run the bullet train on 38 double d's
    Now you know for sure, you know the cure
    To make a blind man see

  5. Wanted Dead Or AliveVer letra 5:09

    letra de Wanted Dead Or Alive

    It's all the same, only the names will change
    Everyday it seems we're wasting away
    Another place where the faces are so cold
    I'd drive all night just to get back home

    [Chorus:]
    I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
    I'm wanted dead or alive
    Wanted dead or alive

    Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
    And the people I meet always go their separate ways
    Sometimes you tell the day
    By the bottle that you drink
    And times when you're alone all you do is think

    [Chorus 2x]

    And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
    I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
    I've been everywhere, and still I'm standing tall
    I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

    'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
    I'm wanted dead or alive
    'Cause I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
    I'm wanted dead or alive
    And I ride dead or alive
    I still drive, dead or alive
    Dead or alive [4x]

  6. Raise Your HandsVer letra 4:18

    letra de Raise Your Hands

    You - you got a nasty reputation
    We're in a sticky situation - it's down to me and you
    So tell me - is it true ... they say there ain't nobody better
    Well now that we're together
    Show me what you can do

    You're under the gun
    Out on the run
    Gonna set the night on fire
    You're out on the run
    Under the gun
    And playin' to win

    [Chorus:]
    Raise your hands
    When you want to let it go
    Raise your hands
    And you want to let a feeling show
    Raise your hands
    From New York to Chicago
    Raise your hands
    From New Jersey to Tokyo
    Raise your hands

    I - I've been out on the front line
    Where you'll go down if you waste time
    They'll walk all over you
    But I - I ain't here looking for surrender
    I'll raise the flag if you'll defend her
    It's up to you

    You're under the gun
    Out on the run
    Gonna set the night on fire
    You're out on the run
    Under the gun
    And playin' to win

    [Chorus]

  7. Without LoveVer letra 3:40

    letra de Without Love

    She wasn't young, but still a child
    There still was innocence
    In painted smiles
    She called to me as I passed her by
    Lady of the night looked in my eyes
    She said: I been through some changes
    But one thing always stays the same

    [Chorus:]
    Without love, there's nothing without love
    Nothing else can get through the night
    Nothing else feels right without love

    I saw a man down on lonely street
    A broken man who looked like me
    And no one knows the pain that he's been living
    He lost his love and still hasn't forgiven
    He said: I've been through some changes
    But one thing always stays the same

    [Chorus]

    There's nothing without love
    Nothing else but love can burn as bright
    And nothing would mean nothing without love

    I see my life
    There's some things I took for granted
    Love's passed me by
    So many second chances
    I was afraid
    But I won't be afraid no more

    [Chorus]

    There's nothing without love
    Nothing else but love can burn as bright
    And nothing would mean nothing without love

  8. I'd Die For YouVer letra 4:31

    [X]

    letra de I'd Die For You

    If you could see inside my heart
    Then you would understand
    I'd never mean to hurt you
    Baby I'm not that kind of man

    I might not say I'm sorry
    Yeah, I might talk tough sometimes
    And I might forget the little things
    Or keep you hanging on the line

    In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
    Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
    We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
    Into the fire we cry

    [Chorus:]
    I'd die for you
    I'd cry for you
    I'd do anything
    I'd lie for you
    You know it's true
    Baby I'd die for you
    I'd die for you
    I'd cry for you
    If it came right down to me and you
    You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you

    I might not be a savior
    And I'll never be a king
    I might not send you roses
    Or buy you diamond rings

    But if I could see inside you
    Maybe I'd know just who we are
    'Cause our love is like a hunger
    Without it we would starve

    In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
    Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
    We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
    Into the fire we cry

    [Chorus]

  9. Never Say GoodbyeVer letra 4:49

    letra de Never Say Goodbye

    As I sit in this smokey room
    The night about to end
    I pass my time with strangers
    But this bottle's my only friend

    Remember when we used to park
    On Butler Street out in the dark
    Remember when we lost the keys
    And you lost more than that in my backseat baby

    Remember how we used to talk
    About busting out - we'd break their hearts
    Together - forever

    Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
    You and me and my old friends
    Hoping it would never end
    Say goodbye, never say goodbye
    Holdin' on - we got to try
    Holdin' on to never say goodbye

    Remember days of skipping school
    Racing cars and being cool
    With a six pack and the radio
    We didn't need no place to go

    Remember at the prom that night
    You and me we had a fight
    But the band they played our favorite song
    And I held you in my arms so strong

    We danced so close
    We danced so slow
    And I swore I'd never let you go
    Together - forever

    Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
    You and me and my old friends
    Hoping it would never end
    Say goodbye, never say goodbye
    Holdin' on - we got to try
    Holdin' on to never say goodbye

    I guess you'd say we used to talk
    About busting out
    We'd break their hearts
    Together - forever

    Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
    You and me and my old friends
    Hoping it would never end
    Say goodbye, never say goodbye
    Holdin' on - we got to try
    Holdin' on to never say goodbye
    yeah yeah

  10. Wild In The StreetsVer letra 3:55

    [X]

    letra de Wild In The Streets

    Joey comes from a sacred part of town
    Where sometimes you talk so tough
    That your feet don't touch the ground
    And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnite blues
    While the old men recite their story lines
    About when I was young like you
    They say: Oh yeah
    We were cruising to the backbeat
    Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
    We were wild, wild in the streets

    A member of the boy's brigade
    Had a date with the girl next door
    You know it made her daddy crazy
    But it only made her want him more
    They weren't looking for trouble
    You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
    So she headed out thru her bathroom window
    What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright
    They said: Oh yeah
    We were cruising to the backbeat
    Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
    We were wild, wild in the streets
    Wild, wild in the streets
    Wild, wild in the streets
    Wild, wild in the streets

    Sometimes this town ain't pretty
    But you know it ain't so bad
    Just like a girl who looks so happy
    Whe inside she's so so sad
    In here we got this code of honor
    Nobody's going down
    You don't walk in vain
    Trough the kid's parade
    'Cause this is my hometown

Sin duda, me gustaría ser un miembro más de esta banda de forajidos. Toco la batería (all the drums) en una banda de música y me encanta tocar versiones suyas. Me encantan todas sus canciones y los toques de "Talk Box" que pone Richie Sambora en muchas canciones. Aquí tenéis un buen seguidor. Saludos, Paz y Amor.
  27. edgar: good music
