Alec John Such, former Bon Jovi bassist, was born on November 14, 1956 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

Alec, who left the band in November 1994, collects antique
guns for a hobby. He is so proud of his colllection that he even took one of his guns to a concert. He was stopped by the authorities and it took him hours to explain that he didn't
mean any harm. Jon regarding the leaving of Alec John Such: " Of course it hurts. But I learned to accept and respect it. The fact that I'm a workaholic, studio in, studio out, stage
on, stage off, want to be dealing with music day and night, doesn't mean everyone else has to adjust to that pace. Alec wanted to quit for a while now so it didn't come as a complete surprise".
After the recording from ”Crossroad”, Alec John Such left the band; there are a lot of rumours about the cause of this break up. In an interview Alec supposedly said "I have enough of
Jon, he's puffed up, he thinks that I'm a weak bassist, he dislikes each note I play...".
More officially Jon said that Alec wasn't into it anymore and
that he needed some time off for family and things, and that "a rock band is not a life sentence for us".
Alec likes listening to AC/DC, Judas Priest and Led Zeppelin.
He can talk Puerto Rican Chicano-Slang.
Alec also likes horses and motorcycles. After he left Bon Jovi, Alec has managed a number of local Jersey bands and he also owns a bike shop in New York.
Alec had a motorcycle accident in September 1996.
