Do you go to the concert for the music or for the jumping? Honestly, I don't see the big deal. Hugh can definitely play the bass and keep the thing going during the concert, that's all. Alec had his chance and he lost it. He may have jumped but he couldn't play properly. If I had to choose between Alec jumping and Hugh playing I'd go for Hugh hands down. At the end of the day it's the music that counts

are you so concetrate to look bj's bass player during the concerts?
If I can hear the guitarplayer making a mistake, the keyboard player making a mistake etcetera, I can also hear the bass player making a mistake.

Quote:
have you ever attend a bj's concert and alec ruins a song playing bad?
You don't need to attend a concert in order to be able to tell if a bassplayer is bad. There are bootlegs available on which Alec screws up.

Quote:
if it wouldn't be true that huey played bass on the albums while alec did...have you found some mistakes on the studio recordings?
This is a stupid comment since it's already confirmed that Alec didn't play on all albums except for Fahrenheit.

DID YOU REALLY SEE THE DIFFERENCE MUSICALLY BETWEEN A CONCERT WITH ALEC AND THE ONES WITH HUEY????
Yes. On the bootleg video of Argentina 93 Alec makes a mistake and Jon looks very upset, he almost attacks him for it. Also, on an acoustic version of Blood On Blood Jon says something along the lines "Thanks Alec, it goes back to D" when Alec plays an A or something.

Quote:
i consider huey better than alec too....but maybe just for his "professional look"
Yes, the look does it all. Gimp.

Yeh right, like the bass player from Bon Jovi ever contributed something to the music itself.

Yes. So ? If you record the guitar solo from Dry County 100000 times I can play it too. So Alec needs 100000 takes for it, and Huey only 3. Alec is a great bassplayer !

Yeah, too bad Alec couldn't do it.
Exactly

You don't see it, you hear it and yes.

Ice
And you know that so perfectly well, because...?
Because we've all heard it and some of us even saw it.

Just because you're some kind of weird fan of Alec, a musician that is drunk on stage and makes mistakes probably because of that, carries guns on stage for on reason, don't make his mistakes less important. A musician like Alec is not great.

Salaam Aleikum,
