(only changes being for live concerts when drummer Tico Torres couldn't attend) And while Jon Bon Jovi recorded a demo with [=McDonald=] and other guys before forming the band, the closest one got to being Pete Bested in Bon Jovi is Jon's neighbour Dave Sabo, who was his original choice to play guitar but went on to form Music/SkidRow instead.
