## Resource

This week, Jason and Dee revisit one of the biggest rock albums of the 1980s in this encore presentation as they put Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet under the microscope. Packed with arena anthems, power ballads, deep cuts, and enough hooks to fill a stadium, this is the album that transformed Bon Jovi from rising stars into one of the biggest bands on the planet. Track by track, the guys break down every song on the album while sharing behind-the-scenes stories, fascinating trivia about Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres, David Bryan, and Alec John Such, and exploring how each track helped define the sound of '80s rock. From the unforgettable hits "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Livin' on a Prayer," and "Wanted Dead or Alive" to the album's overlooked gems, no song is left behind. Along the way, Jason and Dee revisit the making of the album, the songs that almost didn't make the final track list, and the surprising stories that helped Slippery When Wet become one of the best-selling rock albums of all time. Crank up the volume, throw on your favorite denim jacket, and join us as we relive the album that convinced a generation they were halfway there.
