What is ALec John Such doing right now?
I bet this has been posted before but i don't remember a topic with this title :)
i know he played 2001 with the guys and i herad he produces some rock bands. Could you name a few. I bet they are something heavy since he was a Priest and AC/DC fan. Did you see some new pics? Where is he living? "I'm gonna drink myself the whole way to Osaka and back..." |
I'd like to know also. I heard (a while back) that he worked in a machine shop (motorcycle shop?) But I have no clue if that was fact or rumor.

I heard he sold all his music instruments and equipment, and now lives peacefully on some boat. I read that in some Bon Jovi interview with Classic Rock magazine, I believe.
|
Yeah, I heard he had a house full of Bon Jovi memorobilia and he autioned it all off. But that was a few years ago. He's probably in hiding or something. :roll:
|
He is with Jon and Richie, for the new acoustic album, because Jon has said "Hugh seems to be a lost boy in stage, and we wanna rock"

What exactly does Alec have that Hugh doesn't? Nowt really
Keep On Rockin' |
Be nice if Alec came back for the 20th year, but cant see it happening. Hugh doenst have to go anywhere, couldnt they both play on stage.
Yeah Alec is Born to be Wild !!!!!!! Last pic we had here,Alec looked like Super Mario. Remember that guys :D We love you Mario!!!!!!!!!! Dawn |

OK, so he enjoyed himself a bit...but why are you slagging him now, based on events 10 years ago??? Are you so naive that you think Jon, Richie and especially Tico (who now won't touch booze at all....) didn't ever play drunk?? Get real. Read "The Dirt" by Mötley...it just about says that the Bon Jovi guys were into cocaine. You say that people said he looked like he was 60.....and???? He is in his 50's....so what if he looks his age....isn't that better than being artificially young? I'm not saying that he's any better or worse than Hugh. But you can't know that either - Alec's problems were over a decade ago....Stop being such a cock. |

However, what did Motley say about bon jovi? I didn't read that coz i can't get it here but could you quote??? |
a couple of points here.
i've seen interviews with both jon and richie who say theyve lost touch with him and sound genuinely disappointed when talking about the whole situation. hugh's a session player who looks at things from a different perspective from other muso's meaning playing for the song is more important to him than dancing around and he'll realise that jon and richie are the focus f the band liuve and have been for 2 decades so he doesn't need to or shouldn't get in on the act if he doesn't need to. going onstage drunk is ok if u can pull it off, some can, some can't and sometimes ur just lucky. ive went onstage after stanking a case of cider with our bass player and we both played brilliantly evenm though we couldn't stand straight if our lives depended on it. alec by the sound of it wasn't so lucky and if u'd rather drink and play shit than stay sober till u come offstage then u shouldnt be in a band. u've got an obligition not only to the band but to the people seeing you, that they will get a good show and if u know that drinking ****s u up onstage then u don't do it. either way the dude had/has a drink problem and rock band or not, that's never something to be proud of or for people to look upto. |

Jovi2003 - your were slagging Alec off....to quote you...
"He's probably laying up drunk somewhere" - that comment is based on your knowledge that he had a drink problem 10 years ago. Nikki Sixx was (is) a heroin addict, yet he has pulled his life around, why are you assuming that Alec hasn't? I'm not saying that I want Alec back in the band - too much time has gone since that point I think. But I don't like people slagging someone for no reason. YES, Alec had problems and was eventually let go from his duties in the band. Some rumours will say that he wasnt' playing on the albums, but there is no official word on that,...so that's all it is, a rumour. Whatever the real story, the band lost touch with him, which is sad. If he was an alcoholic - he probably could have used the help of the people he had spent 10 years with. The Behind The Music, where they state that they are not in touch with him much anymore, was recorded before he joined them at Giants Stadium. From that, I'd say that they have worked out whatever differences they may still have. Jon seems to work through problems, and keep people close, after all - he is still friends with Doc McGhee! |
Quote:
Jon did seem genuinely sad in "Behind the music" of the fact that he hadn't heard from Alec and I think it's great that Alec agreed to join the band on stage in 2001 at the Camden and Giants shows. I would like to think that he and Jon do still keep in touch. |

he doesn't seem very changed

The problem with any substance abuse is when it starts to effect your personal life and your work, it is a SERIOUS problem! If you are one of "lucky" ones that get some help and support, you can beat it. Otherwise the addiction takes over your life and you hit rock bottom. I hope that didn't/doesn't happen to Alex (or anyone else for that matter)
Personally though, I like Hugh better |
Wasn't it Jon's idea to have him perform with the band? How many shows did he do? Any articles about it? Think they'll ever do anything like that again? I really am curious about this whole thing with Alec playing as a guest. All I know is that he played Wanted with them.
Oh, I went over to bonjovi.com and they have this dictionary in the "Library" (formerly known as Archives) called "Bon Jovi A to Z". I looked up "Such" and it didn't say much besides that he was out of the music business. |
I think Alec looks great now. Def. younger than 50. I miss him but he somehow doesn't fit with today's BJ style. I've alway thought he was a metal/hard rock kinda guy.

I thought at first that Alec was gay. Just because of the way he moved.

What an intelligent, adult remark. Did you fancy him then Thierry?
