Hi, Hugh, Hi, my name's Gavin and I've been a Bon Jovi fan since
1990 when I heard "Born To Be My Baby" on the radio and I've
been a fan of yours since I saw you playing with the guys at
Wembley Stadium on 25th June, 1995-it was my first ever concert!
The Milton Keynes show of 1996 was even better! I'm hoping to see
you and the band this year if you decide to tour the UK. My question
is this, other than "Keep The Faith" what other songs have you come
up with the bass line for? P.S. I'm the other person who makes glasses
look really, really cool! (Gavin, Essex, UK)

I came up with the bass lines for everything I've
played on.

Hey! I read that you wrote the bass line to "keep the faith."
I love that bass line. I've been trying to figure out how to play
it on the trombone (I know; weird, isn't it?) Just another question,
did you right any other bass lines to bon jovi songs? Allen

Yes

If you look at the dates where the song were recorded you would see Runaway is months apart from the other songs.
Hi, 'm a big fan of Bon Jovi.....I love Alec...and I love
your playing too... Probably a stupid question....I
wanted to know what Bon Jovi albums you actually
played on. Were you their studio hire from the very
first album???? Cheers, Shayne New Zealand


Yes......a stupid question

Hello
My name is Andreas and i'm from Switzerland.
I've seen that you worked since the first Bon Jovi Album in the band. But
what excatly did you do because the official Bassplayer at this time was
Alec? Did you play the second bass or another instrument?
Thanks for answering and keep rockin' I played the bass in the studio.

Also, from a recording perspective, most of the songs were recorded almost at the same time as the ones on 7800.
Wrong again.
