Bon Jovi Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Jon Bon Jovi — The entry states that Bon Jovi's seventh studio album is Crush, but it is actually their sixth studio album.

Jon Bon Jovi — The entry claims the band's first Grammy nominations were in 1987 for 'Livin' on a Prayer,' but Bon Jovi's first Grammy nomination was in 1986 for 'You Give Love a Bad Name'.

The Disco Fever — The claim that a 'Disco Fever' era exists in Bon Jovi's canon is factually incorrect; no such recognized era exists.

The Disco Fever — The assertion that 'Slippery When Wet' was a transitional 'Disco Fever' experiment or a bridge between blues-rock and arena anthems is misleading; it was the album that fully established their arena-rock sound, not a transitional disco/dance pivot.

Bed of Roses — The song was written solely by Jon Bon Jovi, not by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora.

Blaze of Glory — The song was written for the film 'Young Guns II', which was produced and released in 1990, not for an unproduced movie about Billy the Kid.

Blaze of Glory — The claim that the film was never produced due to budget constraints and development issues is false; 'Young Guns II' was completed and released.

New Jersey — The album cover does not feature the band members standing on a railroad track at night; the actual cover shows a black-and-white photo of the band in front of a chain-link fence with a graffiti-covered wall, not a railroad track.

New Jersey — It was not the first Bon Jovi record to achieve multi-platinum status in multiple countries simultaneously upon release; 'Slippery When Wet' had already achieved that feat in 1986-1987.

Bon Jovi — The 40th anniversary edition was released on January 26, 2024, not January 25.

Keep the Faith — Record Label=Mercury Records (US), Jambco Records (international) — Jambco Records was not the international label for 'Keep the Faith'; the album was released internationally by Mercury Records or PolyGram/Vertigo.

Cross Road — The label is listed as 'Mercury / Island', but the album was released by Mercury Records in the US and Vertigo Records internationally; Island Records was not the label for this release.

Cross Road — The diner on the cover is the 'Roadside Diner' in Wall Township, NJ, but the correct name is the 'Wall Township Diner' (also known as the Route 33 Diner), not 'Roadside Diner'.
