To the "Alec" lovers:
What is your reasoning behind liking Alec more and wanting him back?
Apart from the stage presence that the rest of the band already had at that point in their careers, he did nothing all that good for the band. He was more like a lead weight dragging them down. I'm just really curious to why people have these "Alec Fan clubs" on facebook and whatnot. |
Many people feel that Alec's looks were right for the band. He LOOKED cool, he had attitude. I agree to a point but to me, as always, it's the music that counts and Hugh is a much better bass player. Yes he just sorta stands there but I'd rather hear the music played well then have someone onstage just for show.

And who's to say Alec would be running around the stage nowadays? |
Alec was part of Bon Jovi for 12 years during their greatest years. You just didn't grow up seeing Alec in the band, so you don't get it. Nikki Sixx isn't that great of a bass player either. Should Motley replace him with Hugh also? Bass is bass. Lets get real here. Bon Jovi would sound exactly the same if Alec was still in the band. It wasn't about his playing anyway. It was about $$$$$$$....
He added vocally too. Listen to Drift Away....... Start around 3:12..... The high note at 3:17 is Alec....Not Richie...... They were a true quartet. It was chemistry..... Jon and Richie were the pretty boys. Tic and Alec were the cool dudes. And Dave..... Well he had the same hair as he does today. |

That reminds me. I HATED Alec's voice. |
The Alec fans want Alec back mainly for nostalgia IMO. That's the Bon Jovi of the "glory days" that many of them fell in love with. I also think that so much has been made out of the "Brotherhood" aspect of the band, that it rubs some the wrong way that one of the originals isn't there anymore. Hughie is a far superior bass player anyway (not to mention the fact that it's all but been confirmed that he played on all the albums)

Personally, Alec always gave me the creeps.

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.) |
