About
As of 2026, it's 40 years old.
Slippery When Wet made Bon Jovi the biggest band in the world and arguably perfected the formula for the fist-in-the-air arena anthem — 'Livin' on a Prayer' and 'You Give Love a Bad Name' are engineered with such precision that they still detonate any room, wedding, or sporting event they're played in. Tommy and Gina have been holding on for nearly forty years now.
Big hair, bigger choruses, and that famous key change made it the definitive sound of '80s arena rock.
Anthemic, polished, and irresistibly fun, Slippery When Wet is the album that turned Bon Jovi into stadium royalty and gave karaoke a permanent setlist.
