It’s a casual, fun introduction to the album. Dizzying church organs signal the beginning of Let It Rock, joined by Richie Sambora’s meaty power chords.Jon Bon Jovi sings nonchalantly about breaking the rules ‘With the night you’re on the loose/You got to let it rock’. Bon Jovi wasn't nearly as hard-edged as Mötley Crüe or technically proficient as Van Halen, but the guys smartly played to their strengths, shunning the extremes for an accessible, middle-of-the-road approach that wound up appealing to more fans than most of their peers. Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi (1986) Let It Rock (written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora). Elsewhere, the group turned to nostalgia, using songs like “Never Say Goodbye” and “Wild in the Streets” to re-create (or fabricate) an untamed, sex-filled youth that undoubtedly appealed to the band’s teen audience. I confess I have been expecting Bon Jovi to work with another producer for a while. The band's characters may have been down on their luck - they worked dead-end jobs, pined for dangerous women, and occasionally rode steel horses - but Bon Jovi never presented a problem that couldn’t be cured by a good chorus, every one of which seemed to celebrate a glass-half-full mentality. To wrap it up, Bon Jovi ‘2020’ takes you exactly where Jon Bon Jovi intended to. With Child's help, Bon Jovi penned a pair of songs that would eventually define their career - “Living on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name” - two teenage anthems that mixed Springsteen's blue-collar narratives with straightforward, guitar-driven hooks. Part of the album's success could be attributed to Desmond Child, a behind-the-scenes songwriter who went on to write hits for Aerosmith, Michael Bolton, and Ricky Martin.
