Jon dumps a bucket of water on Mark Weiss after he calls it a wrap. I put her front and center in the band car wash photo that was used on the inner sleeve of the final album package.
Immediately, we knew this was going to be the girl for our cover. My assistant Danny took a walk with Tico across the street and came back with just what the doctor ordered – a hot Italian woman named Angela. We were still in need of a large pair of breasts. Even then, we needed a few more girls, so I walked across the street and pulled a few. All the guys came with their cars, motorcycles and girls. Jon lived right across the street from the beach in Bradley Beach, New Jersey, and that seemed like as perfect a spot as any. The guys came home after finishing the album, and now we needed to do band photos without their cowboy look. I would have a good laugh as these formerly clean-shaven guys swaggered in with Billy the Kid looks and attitude” Over a three-week period, Richie, David, Alec, Tico and Jon came to my studio in New York City, one at a time. The idea was to show the five of them as the Bon Jovi “gang,” and have the WANTED poster brazenly tacked to the wall where they were ‘hiding out’. I came up with what I thought was a no brainer: I’d have the guys grow beards, put on some cowboy garb and make a WANTED poster. The name they gave me to work with was Wanted Dead or Alive. Photographer Mark “WEISSGUY” Weiss was asked to brainstorm ideas for the album cover. That January, Bon Jovi went to Little Mountain Studios in Vancouver to start work on their third record.
On AugBON JOVI released their third album would be the album that made them a household name selling over 28 million records worldwide.
