Think again. Hugh is a great player, a session musician and he certainly writes his own parts. Many guitarists THINK they know how to play the bass and tell (bad) bassplayers what to play, but real basists know their stuff and compose their own lines.
Here's what Hugh had to say:

Hi Hugh,
Just like to say I say you and the Bon Jovi guys in Wolverhampton this year, great show! My question is, who would you say has been the best artist/band to work with? Who's given you the most freedom on records/live?
Thanks,Will
Thanks Will. Wolverhampton was a lot of fun. I'm glad the rain held off!To answer your question, I'd have to say that Bon Jovi has been the best band to work with. After 20 years of working together, we're family. Basically, everybody has input on what everyone else plays.
I have total freedom to play what I want.

Then, I had read a book about
Bon Jovi a few weeks ago and I read that you did NOT play on every studio album. But from other fans I hear that you DO. I'm a bit confused now.What is the truth? Did you play on the albums or did Alec did? (I'm sorry if it is a bit painful to ask...? but I just have to know) Thanks and lots of love, Always, Marjolein
I didn't play at all on 7800 F

). Jon and Richie might write the most of a song, but when you get in the studio to record a song changes while the recording I guess, so the whole band puts in something.
