Alec-fans - I know, you're out there

good show to go to.

I think you're pretty lucky. I had to beg my parents to let me go to my first concert when I was 13! They never would have taken me at 4. My best friend is considering taking her daughter to a concert the next tour but is unsure about it because she'll only be 8 or so (depending on when they tour again).

Same here. I wanted to see Jovi on the Keep the faith tour when I was 13, but my mum wouldnt even let me go with my friends mum.

I know. That show was one of points which made me a fan.

Yes, I know that I am lucky, but well, they liked BJ and so they thougt, it would show me that the music they listened to wasn't as bad as I believed. How right they were.

I began liking BJ in '94, so I don't have a fond memory of the guy.
But hey if he helped BJ get together then he musn't be bad.

the only times I've seen Alec is on the Evening with BJ tape in which he doesn't really do much except play and keep quiet....

Also the Slippery When Wet videos tape. From what I remember he had this sort of squeaky voice and he really interacted with the guys rather than be an outsider like Hugh seems to be most of the time. Anyway, I think his personality really fit in with the band and its a shame he left really. Still, that was ten years ago and I wasn't a fan then so Im not really complaining.

Notice he's in the Always video but not the Someday I'll Sat Night vid.. at least not the one at Giants stadium.

I wonder if he has been buying or at least listening to the bands albums since his departure and what he thinks of them...

I've seen Alec live twice, and I don't miss him that much.
I'd still chose Hugh

I haven't seen Alec live (o.k...but this DVDs don't exist official!) and I don't know him. But: There was a time in the early month when I became a fan when I didn't like him! I heard just bad things about him. But one day I got the "NEw Jersey" video and watched it. From that point on I liked him! I liked the things I saw. I'm able to judge people if I seem them just for one minute! I don't know if I judged him right cause I just saw him on TV and not in reality but the things I saw in the videos made him sympatic. Cause of that I like him.

why exactly was it that Alec got kicked out? I hear its something to do with him cocking up all the time...is this true? when did he leave anyway, what album?

According to Behind the music he made too many mistakes on stage. Another reason maybe is that he washed dirty laundry in public what BJ usually don't do. He left the band in 1994. You can't name a specific album since Hugh already worked with BJ on all albums from the beginning.
