 The most commercially significant release of the era being "Slippery When Wet" (1986) by Bon Jovi from New Jersey, selling over 12 million copies in the US alone.The album has been credited with widening the audience for the subgenre, particularly by appealing to women as well as the traditional male dominated audience, and opening the door to MTV and commercial success for other bands at the end of the decade.By the mid-1980s bands were beginning to emerge from the L.A. scene that pursued a less glam image and a rawer sound, particularly Guns N' Roses, breaking through with the chart-topping "Appetite for Destruction" (1987), and Jane's Addiction, who emerged with their major label debut "Nothing's Shocking", the following year.
