Tig’s Metal Box: New Bon Jovi Album and Tour

The Metal Box is a weekly web series posted each Friday where we discuss all things hard rock and heavy metal: news, videos, interviews, live concerts and more.

This week, we’re talking about Bon Jovi pushing back the release date of their new album This House Is Not for Sale and the announcement of a U.S. Tour.

Bon Jovi formed back in 1983 out of Sayerville, NJ and the band achieved worldwide success with the album Slippery When Wet in 1986. The album spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S. with hit singles "Livin' on a Prayer", "You Give Love a Bad Name". and "Wanted Dead or Alive". It is Bon Jovi's biggest selling album, and one of the nest selling albums of all time going 12 times platinum in the U.S. The band released the album New Jersey in 1988 and went on hiatus after the New Jersey Tour. The band returned and released Keep the Faith in 1992. The album Crush in 2000 featured the hit "It's My Life". Many other albums have followed.
