}} ''Keep the Faith'' is the fifth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi. Released on November 3, 1992 through Mercury Records. It was also Bon Jovi's first album since 1985's ''7800° Fahrenheit'' not to be produced by Bruce Fairbairn. The album was produced by Bob Rock and was recorded at the Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, Canada. ''Keep the Faith'' represents the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Bon Jovi, marking a change of both the band's image and sound. Moving away from their early glam metal roots in previous albums, it introduced a more "rock n roll" driven groove to Bon Jovi's sound. The album turned away from heavy drums and wild guitar solos, but instead introduced a new sound of Bon Jovi which consisted of piano ballads and long epic guitar solos. It is the last to feature original bassist Alec John Such, before his dismissal from the band in 1994. ''Keep The Faith'' peaked at number five on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart while topping the charts in the UK and Australia. The album certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The record produced several hits for the band, including "Keep The Faith", "Bed of Roses" and "In These Arms". The album was ranked No. 21 on ''Kerrang! ==Background== Following the completion of the New Jersey tour, the band went on hiatus. During their time off, Jon Bon Jovi wrote the soundtrack for ''Young Guns II'', which was released in 1990 as the ''Blaze of Glory'' album and Richie Sambora released his first solo album called ''Stranger in This Town''. By this time, Jon Bon Jovi fired his longtime manager, Doc McGhee and created Bon Jovi Management. Jon Bon Jovi decided to take on a larger role, and more responsibilities within the band. In October 1991 the band went to a Caribbean island of St. Thomas to discuss plans for the future; the band's internal problems were solved and they were ready to have a go at a comeback. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keep the Faith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
