It's pretty much the same length,maybe a little bit longer now,but he keeps his haircut somewhat at same length whole decade except for Lost Highway period.

Acoustic Bed of Roses from the Destination era. Now Bobby played a nice solo here, WTF is wrong with this guy that he can't be consistent at all in his playing??

They made it, they've got nothing to prove anymore. Think back to Moscow, all the people they had to outdo at that show. Not the same anymore, can just coast on by. The good thing is no-one can ever take those performances away from us.


Btw, having watch the NJ video, its not that bad. Just no-where near as good as the Moscow vid (er is any performance ever going to be?! It was like ten minutes longer than usual and even Alec was getting to sing a little bit if my slightly cider muddled brain is correct?)

Although I liked Alec I don't think he had any input into the writing or arranging of the songs. He had a great stage presence but he turned into a mess and couldn't perform any longer.

And after he left we got These Days, so I can't agree they went downhill either.

People tend to like Alec for nostalgic reasons.

I don't really have a craving for him to be back, but I would like to see Dave inducted as a full Bon Jovi member because then they are a whole rock band once again. Rather than a band that needs a hired bass player.

Hugh had much more input than Alec.He covered his ass on every album since and including SWW.Alec's mistakes,though,were less obvious in studio(probably because they overdubbed it),but live,especially in 93' he looked and sounded like he didn't belong anywhere near what was then(and for that matter,what is now) a best live band in the world.
