Default Should Alec Still Get Credit
I've noticed that a lot of the awards bon jovi have gotten for there 25 years of music and over 100,000,000 sold that alec john such does'nt get any of the credit even though he's not in the band anymore I still think that he should get some credit for what he did do from 82-93/94

Like this clip they say 4 incredible musicians and yet slippery when wet made a big contrabution to that award and alec was still in the band then so I don't see why he didn't get some of the credit for that award

He should, I agree.
However, I suppose this does lead back to the same old "who really played base" argument doesn't it?
Again, me personally I think Alec should get credits, but it's all such a political game anyway.

Yes he should. He is the "ROCK" of Bon Jovi. After he's gone, the band seems to have lost some of their edge.

I say bring Alec back!

Should Alec still get credit? Sure, but Hugh should too. Even if you disregard Hugh playing on Runaway and on the albums since Slippery, you can't deny he's been part of the 120 million or however many album sales it's been now. At least Alec was counted as part of the band when he was there...

I actually think Huey is a better bassist, for what it's worth.

Aloha !

Oooh, nice another Alec topic. Let's start this again: Huey played bass on all albums but Fahrenheit. FACT.

So come on, bite me.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
