Livin' On A Prayer

This is Desmond Child (John Barrett) and the demo for "Livin' On A Prayer" (Jon Bon Jovi - Richie Sambora - Desmond Child). Desmond had worked with other noted acts like Kelly Clarkson, Alice Cooper, Cher, Joan Jett, Kiss, Selena Gomez, Ricky Martin, Bonnie Tyler and Aerosmith.

The first incarnation of "Livin' On A Prayer" happened as a hidden track on the LP "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong" ..." The demo which Jon Bon Jovi (John Bongiovi Jr.) didn't like is different from the hit in many ways including the bass guitar line, drums and the obvious talk box. This album collection of unused material was released in 2004.

Bon Jovi's (Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Alec John Such and Tico Torres) 1986 album "Slippery When Wet" contains the number one "Livin' On A Prayer". This has probably becomes the band's signature song.
