Not to get into all this again as there has been endless threads on the topic, but I am still yet to watch or listen to a bootleg where Alec is messing up as much to a degree that would demand being sacked. No more than Jon and Richie messed up live, and still do. They could have kept him on as the touring bassist, with Hugh playing on the records - but it was clearly a combination of other factors too, whether it be drugs, this gun story, or something personal.
