Tim Pierce played with a lot of amazing bands, Alice Cooper being one of them.

Great choices as well. I agree our taste changes as years go by.

@Synyster he has a nearly unmatched studio credit list
You might know he played all the guitars on Bon Jovi's Runaway and the solo on Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House.

I had no idea he played all the guitars on Bon Jovi's Runaway as well as the solo. Where was Ritchie?

@Synyster not sure if he was in the picture yet, or maybe deemed not ready for prime time.

Here’s what I found

Who played on the song Runaway by Bon Jovi?
John did not have a band at that time, so he recorded it with studio musicians. Tim Pierce plays the guitar on this song, - Hugh McDonald plays bass. who later took part in recording the early albums of the band Bon Jovi, and since 1994 the bass Alec John Sach.

@Synyster I always knew about Hugh, that was the word around studios in the 90s.
