Jon came to my studio in New York shortly after the news that we had to come up with a new cover. The photo ended up in the sleeve of the album. Then I got some soap and water and started having a car wash party. We found her – this was going to be the girl on the cover. My assistant Danny took a walk with Tico across the street and came back with just what the Dr. We needed a few more girls so I walked across the street and pulled a few more. All the guys came with their cars, motorcycles and girls. Jon lived right across the street from the beach in Bradley Beach, New Jersey, where we did the shoot. The idea was to do a photo by the beach and get some girls posing with cut out shirts with the new title of the album on it. A strip club in Vancouver near where they were recording. The guys came home after finishing the album, the album title was changed to Slippery When Wet inspired by the #5. The band and management wasn’t sold on the cowboy idea and was still brainstorming for others. We spent hours in this old abandoned barn shooting individuals and band photos for the cover. This would be their “hideout,” and we’d have the “Wanted” poster hanging in the background. I found an old abandoned building to use as a background for the shoot. Once in Vancouver, I scouted locations while the guys were finishing recording with producer Bruce Fairbairn. The name they gave me to work with was “Wanted Dead or Alive.” The idea was to show the five of them as the Bon Jovi “gang,” and have the “Wanted” poster tacked to the wall where they were “hiding out.” I was asked to brainstorm ideas for the album cover.
