In 1995, it was re-released under the name Message, and in 2000 as Lessons. He appeared in Mercy, a Led Zeppelin-owned record label, and then Duke Williams & the Extremes, who were signed to Capricorn Records, later in the band's career. Sambora & Friends, an improvisational club band, was also involved. He was the co-owner of a New Jersey club and owned Dream Disc Records, a young independent band. In the early 1980s, Sambora's first professional tour appeared as an opening act for Joe Cocker. Sambora unsuccessfully applied for Kiss to be Ace Frehley's replacement shortly before joining Bon Jovi in 1983.

Sambora joined Bon Jovi in 1983, replacing the band's original lead guitarist Dave Sabo, who went on to form Skid Row. Alec John Such had been playing in a band with Sambora and joined Bon Jovi when Sambora was absent in Los Angeles auditioning for Kiss. When Sambora returned home, he was invited to see the band perform. Sambora was captivated by Bon Jovi's live performance, describing the group as "magic," and he immediately approached Jon Bon Jovi, who then approached him backstage and "give him a verbal resume." Although Sambora initially thought Bon Jovi was uninterested in him, he was sent a phone call several days later urging him to rehearse with the band. Jon had arrived and heard the band with Sambora, so he hired him on the spot. The pair performed "Come Back" and "Burning for Love" on Bon Jovi's mother's house that night, the latter of which would appear on the band's 1983 debut album.

Sambora left the band in 2013 ahead of a show in Calgary during the band's Because We Can tour. Sambora has only played with Bon Jovi at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction in 2018.

Jon Bon Jovi talks meeting Michael Jackson in Tokyo and reveals King of Pop sent  pet chimp to band's room to party: 'Bubbles parties like a rock star'

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 12, 2024
Jon Bon Jovi is now in promo mode for the new documentary, Thank You, Good Night: The Bon Jovi Story, that takes a look at the history of his iconic rock band and its journey from New Jersey clubs to global stardom. While reminiscing about the band's rise to becoming bonafide rockstars on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, April 10, the longtime frontman dished about the 1980s and partying with Michael Jackson , which inevitably turned the conversation on to the King Of Pop's pet chimp, Bubbles. It turns out the rocker and his band were in Tokyo, Japan around the same time the Thriller superstar, and he and his friend and bandmate Richie Sambora actually got to hang out with the then prized baby chimpanzee. 'Everybody wanted to meet Michael Jackson. So, [former guitarist] Richie [Sambora] and I had the opportunity to go up to his room, and we walked into his hotel room - which was all done up in mirrors so he could dance - and they actually took a wall out between these rooms,' Bon Jovi (born John Francis Bongiovi Jr.), 62, told Kimmel. Sounding a bit stumped that the hotel would remove a section of a wall out just for MJ, the Livin' On A Prayer star confirmed, 'They absolutely did [remove the wall] because he was there for quite a while.'
