King of the Mountain is a heavy hitting rocker that returns to a more upbeat sound than the last two dramatic songs had. The song has another terrific guitar solo that makes it sound like time is rushing by at a rapid pace.
Bon Jovi sings some dramatic lyrics about how he has a “time bomb ticking in his head” and at any moment he will have a nervous breakdown from loneliness. At five minutes it is one of the longest songs on the album. It is similar with its song message to Lonely Is the Night by Billy Squier. Only Lonely is another dark and dramatic song about how love can be tough when somebody leaves you or you don’t have anybody to begin with. The guitar solo is also harmonious and dramatic but quick and detailed, too. This song is about how love can be tough sometimes that sometimes you can be in a difficult relationship but you pay a price for the person you love. The Price of Love also starts off with a heavy drum roll but the guitar is more harmonious than rocking and the vocals are more dramatic and operatic. It has some catcalls about asking women to ride with them on the tour bus and is followed by one of the best Bon Jovi guitar solos ever. It’s one of the most rocking songs on the album and is about sexy shenanigans as a double entendre, one of the most typical glam metal messages. In and Out of Love starts out with some group vocals and a heavy drum roll. In and Out of Love and Only Lonely both made it onto the Billboard Hot One Hundred. It was Bon Jovi’s first album to reach gold status and made it to platinum status in 1987. The album was made in six weeks from January to March with a producer named Lance Quinn. It introduced the classic Bon Jovi logo that was later used on Slipper When Wet and New Jersey. The album was made in 1985 and got its name because 7800 Fahrenheit is the supposed melting point of rock. Most people focus on Bon Jovi’s later career and some people actually like his later music, but I would like to focus on his most over looked album called 7800 Fahrenheit. After that, though, from the early 1990s to now it was all downhill from there. He then made New Jersey, which was very western sounding and most of it was dry, dusty and forgettable but it did have a few good songs. His third album was Slippery When Wet with three of his biggest songs You Give Love a Bad Name, Living On a Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive. He then made a second album called 7800 Fahrenheit that did not have any big songs, but did have his darkest, heaviest, most experimental album. His first big song was Runaway on his first album. Bon Jovi is a glam metal artist from the 1980s.
