--Sky's The Limit For Multi-Platinum Rock Band As They Complete Work On New Album Due Out October 8th (New York, July 15, 2002) -In anticipation of their forthcoming album Bounce, due out on October 8th from Island Records, Bon Jovi makes a definitive statement with the video for "Everyday," the first release off the new album. Shot on location in Socorro, New Mexico amidst a remote region in the desert, Bon Jovi braved the wildest of weather conditions in order to capture the magnitude of this album on film. The video finds the band performing in the middle of 27 massive satellites, part of an installation called "The Very Large Array" (VLA), one of the world's premiere astronomical radio observatories. The video's concept evokes a global feeling where the band performs amongst satellites, which carry their music to all corners of the world. In order to create the visual, three camera crews were sent all over the world to capture footage and intersperse it throughout the video, with no green screens or computer generated images to "transport" the band's performance to exotic locales. The video shoot proved to be like no other for the band as unexpected special effects from Mother Nature threatened to muscle in on Bon Jovi's screen time. As the band was readying to shoot the final take - an aerial shot filmed through a helicopter hovering overhead - lightning started swirling around, posing the serious threat of electrocution. In fact, the situation became so serious that all "non-essential" personnel were evacuated off the set except for the producer, the cameraman and the band. In addition a documentary crew was on hand to film the video shoot. Bon Jovi narrowly escaped after the final take as torrential rain dodged their caravan - leaving no visibility outside of the lightning lit sky, in order to exit the property. Bounce was co-produced by Luke Ebbin, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, the same team responsible for the multi-platinum Crush. The album was recorded in the band's home state of New Jersey. Bounce, the band's 8th studio album, is the follow up to the incredibly successful album, Crush which sold 8 million copies worldwide (certified double platinum in the U.S.), spawned the hit singles, "It's My Life" and "Thank You For Loving Me" and earned the group their first ever Grammy nominations for "Best Rock Album" and "Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group" for "It's My Life." Bon Jovi have sold over 92 million albums in their career. The single and video for "Everyday" will be released to radio and television later this summer (The single goes to radio on July 29th!!!!!) |
