I remember reading somewhere that Alec sold all of his BJ stuff.

Not sure he's running the bike shop anymore either.

He did play with BJ at Giant Stadium back in 2001

That's it! A rock & roll duo and they call themselves "Jack & Daniels"

No offense to Alec (or any bassist) but the world isn't exactly clamoring for a Bon Jovi reunion with his old bassist from 22_+years ago.

Oh no, not this! :P

Nevermind, Alec isn't playing bass anymore (for a band or whatever). He seems to have quit for good his music career.

True.
But it's not like the post TD songs have difficult basslines anyway.

Or Jack D & Jim B. Btw, if Alec would have sucked all the way from 1983, Tico and Richie would have known, having played in same bands with him.

Alec was always my favourite member of the band, still is oddly. That would be one hell of a read if he was ever to do a book. Didn't Jon give him a payoff of around $20m when he got fired, I swear I read that somewhere ?

Saw him a dozen times or so in the 80s, phenomenal bass player, great voice and one hell of a stage presence ....Mr Rock n Roll of the band .

Bring him back, with Richie for one last final world tour..... would be huge !

Prior to RRHOF Richie said he had missed Alec. And at the show, both Richie and Jon gave him a hug. Not so much hate there.

I don't think there's much hate between them. They may have had different musical ideas in the mid-90's, but that doesn't mean they hate each other as people.

As for Alec, I think even if everyone wanted it, his health would forbid him to do so. I remember hearing he had another motorcycle accident after his time in Bon Jovi where he very much injured his hip and he was walking with a cane at the HoF introduction. I think it was even mentioned in one of the pre-talks that it was hard for him to just stand for a longer time.

I was wondering yesterday... is there any footage of Alec making constant mistakes that ultimately led to his dismissal?
