I'm sure you've heard the story like me about how this guy got fired for, well, not being up to par on his playing (nice way of saying 'sucking'.) I guess they were all high school friends, etc. but he kept screwing up live or something.
Does anyone know if he played on any albums? Or did they have someone else play his parts for him? Was he even that bad? Anyone know anything about this guy?
I'll share a quick story that got me thinking about all this--my cover band's drummer said he saw Bon Jovi in the early days with this bassist, and the guy screwed up in the middle of a bass solo and just stopped. Doh! That sucks. I was surprised he would just stop, I mean you have to assume they've played a few gigs by that point (this was in an arena), and that the guy would have known how to handle screwing up. I just thought that was weird.
