This was the one that started it all, in 1984. Believe it or not, this BARELY cracked the Top 40. It wasn't until Slippery When Wet came out when they EXPLODED. You stil have yet to react to "Bad Medicine", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Never Say Goodbye", "Lay Your Hands On Me", or "Bed of Roses". Any of those would be great!

This is the song that landed Jon Bon Jovi a record deal. He recorded a demo that he physically took to radio stations in NYC. It led to this song eventually being on a local bands record produced by the radio station. That led to a record company offering Jon Bon Jovi a record deal. He then had to assemble a band. For a real shocker, Jon Bon Jovi turns up as a rhythm guitarist in Scandal's 1st version/demo of "Love's Got a Line On You". Recorded before he landed his own record deal. For me the best song off Bon Jovi's 1st record is She Don't Know Me. When I saw that video for the first time & saw him strut down the street singing I was in love. I was 15 and I'm still in love with him at 53. lol

Jon Bon Jovi was 20 when 'Runaway' was recorded in 1982... it got local radio airplay when they were Jon Bon Jovi Band in Jersey. Once Mercury Records signed them on the huge response to 'Runaway', Jon Bon Jovi hired a new band to record the rest of the first album (Sambora on guitar, Bryan on keyboards, Torres on drums and Such on bass) and settled on the band name Bon Jovi. Years later, Jon admitted that the band was not the best live or in the studio for a few years.

This song is what started it all. Jon did it before there was a Bon Jovi band and got radio stations to play it. People loved it and requested it so much, he needed to put together a band and thus the start of Bon Jovi and their first albums. I saw them in a small club in Montreal, first time out of the US on a school weekend trip. I fell in love, but no albums to be found, no internet then, then found the next album 7800 Fahrenheit in a record store, psyched I found them, playing it daily. Then Slippery When Wet came out and they exploded.

They blew my teenage mind! How could I NOT learn guitar after listening to this outstanding talent. Castle Donington (Monsters of Rock) was like a pilgrimage! How about Marillion ('Kayleigh', 'Easter', 'Season's End' or if you want to cry 'Beautiful'). XTC "Senses Working Overtime", New Musik "Living by Numbers", Magnum "Les Mortes Dansant", Clannad "Theme from Harry's Game" or Closer to the Heart", The Pretenders "Back on the Chain Gang" or for fun Middle of the Road "Chirpy, Chirpy Cheep Cheep"!.

Along with Tim Pierce, Hugh McDonald, Frankie LaRocka and Roy Bittan there were additional studio cats on Runaway on backing vocals - David Grahmme and Mick Seeley. Mick created and played the opening keyboard part. As noted earlier, Runaway was recorded in 1982 prior to formation of Bon Jovi. Jon Bon Jovi (John Bongiovi) worked for his brother, Tony Bongiovi, who owned the Power Station studio. Tony produced this track and the subsequent album. The powerhouse that Bon Jovi became, started with their third album, Slippery When Wet, in 1986, produced by, guess who, my favourite local hit maker, Bruce Fairbairn. 🎤🎸🎹🪘🎸🎶😎

I saw RATT in Tulsa, OK way back then and Bon Jovi opened for them when this was their hit video on MTV. Then they released Slippery When Wet and really blew up.
