Hugh basically played everything from Slippery onwards and live Alec played whatever Hugh played on the records. I don't think Alec was much of a player, he just played what he was told.

As for others, each member writes his own parts. Hugh composes bass lines, David comes up with keyboard arrangements and sounds and Tico works the beats. I'm sure they could manage with anybody playing, but Jon & Richie need the band to sound like Bon Jovi. Just listen to their solo albums. No Bon Jovi sound there.
