This post still raises the good point, can someone provide audio or video examples of Alec ''messing up'' as JBJ so bluntly put it on the VH1 Behind the music doc? I have plenty of bootlegs from the early days, and aside from Alec's annoying super-high pitch backing vox, I've never heard any glaring mistakes, enough to warrant a sacking. Heard more mistakes from Jon to be honest..
The official live bsides etc. from that era could indeed have been doctored/re-recorded in the studio..it's not unheard of. For example the GNR ''live'' album is anything but live..that record was taken apart and many parts re-recorded in the studio, vocals and guitar.
But yes, Hugh has played on every record, straight from the mouth of the man himself.
Alec's sacking was probably due to other ''personal issues''.
Oh, how we've all come to love that explanation these days.. ''personal issues''!

JBJ - I believe
"Sambora's face is a mask of joyous disbelief, as if previously unaware of his ability to play the instrument at all. Reaching the last fistful of notes, he does a fair impression of a man who is actually ejaculating into his jet black flares."
