Bon Jovi Announce This House Is Not For Sale Live Release

(Classic Rock) Bon Jovi have announced they'll release a live version of their latest record, This House Is Not For Sale on December 16. The album titled This House Is Not For Sale: Live From The London Palladium was recorded at the London venue in October.

Frontman Jon Bon Jovi says the band cut their teeth on being a live performance act - and that the true test of a musician's success is breaking through language barriers and connecting with the crowd at live shows.

He tells Sirius XM: "The live experience teaches you not only how to relate to your audience, but what it is that you wanna say to them. I cut my teeth as a performer. Even through our first two records, we didn't have big hit singles yet, but we had a reputation as a live band.

"When we would go to countries that didn't speak English we would go there and put the point across with our ability to engage an audience.

"After success comes from you having all these hits, try and go to the Soviet Union where nobody is allowed to even have a Western record and play those hits. They don't speak the language, they don't know the songs, you better be a good performer." Watch the video here.
