Bon Jovi is a hard rock band from Sayreville; New Jersey. Fronted by lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi; the group originally achieved large-scale success in the 1980s. Over the past 25 years; Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million albums worldwide; including 34 million in the United States alone. Bon Jovi formed in 1983 with lead singer Jon Bon Jovi; guitarist Richie Sambora; keyboardist David Bryan; bassist Alec John Such; and drummer Tico Torres. Other than the departure of Alec John Such in 1994 (which pared the lineup down to a quartet); the lineup has remained the same for the past 25 years. "Something for the Pain" is a song by Bon Jovi from their 1995 album These Days. It charted at #39 on the top 40 mainstream charts and peaked at #8 on the UK Singles Chart.
It was a regular song played on the These Days Tour but, like many songs on this album, has been played less since. However recently this song surprisingly returned to the setlists and so far it has been a staple on The Circle Tour in 2010, usually in acoustic form. A section of the song features Richie Sambora on lead vocals, it is the only studio recording in the band's catalogue that.
