Slippery When Wet would produce three Top 10 singles, "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Living On A Prayer" (both going # 1), and "Wanted Dead Or Alive". The album would go on to sell in excess of twenty-eight million copies worldwide.

Jon Bon Jovi and former Bon Jovi guitarist, songwriter Ritchie Sambora share with In The Studio host Redbeard the stories behind this blockbuster album.

Also In The Studio will preview the title song to the new forthcoming Bon Jovi album This House is Not for Sale. Stream the episode here.
