The only derogatory remarks he made really were that Jon was a control freak (Big shock there!) and that he told Alec he sucked all the time during recording. He said he couldn't be bothered recording anymore because of it but would still tour with them. (How wrong he was!) He also said plenty of good things about Jon and the band though, saying Jon had really matured and was singing better than ever.
If I remember rightly the article was in Kerrang! don't know if that helps in trying to find it.

I hadn't heard this version of why Alec was fired. Why would a band keep a member that "couldn't be bothered recording" but would tour? Makes no sense-surely your either in or out. I always thought he was fired because of his drug problems but maybe he was just not very good??? I remember a very old story about how the record company (Ithink) wanted to get rid of Alec early on - before SWW- because they didn't think he fitted with the image they wanted to create and Jon fought for him to stay, so it must have been a big decision to fire him in the end.
