Alec was not replaced because of his bass playing. Jon said that in the Behind The Music and he's full of shit. It was because of money. And that's why the entire band almost broke up after the Jersey tour. Again, because of money. It had nothing to do with Richie looking over Jon's shoulder. Jon had these guys under his contract and didn't pay them what they thought they were worth. So first it was blamed on the long tour and then Jon being a bigger star than Richie. BS

If either one of them made it big solo 90', Bon Jovi would have been done! (Blaze was successful but record sales were nothing compared to Bon Jovi's.)
