Broskirose Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 He looked cool in the Joint pics, but a little out of place during the Rio gig. I'm sure he would have settled in better had he stuck around though. Live, I can take him or leave him, but his writing is all over CD. Apparently more than the booklet would lead you to believe. He is an absolute must if Axl ever records a new album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Paul Tobias saved GnR.This.... It could be very much true that without Paul there'd have been no nuGn'R and Axl would eventually have had to reconcile with Slash...god forbid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncivil war Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Didn't he co-write something off the Illusion records? Back Off Bitch maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I always liked Slash's comments on Paul. Something along the lines of his name is Paul Huge but he calls himself Paul Tobias for some reason. (Or the other way around).I never really understood why Axl brought him in.

dalsh327 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It was silly of Slash to say he "hated" Paul unless he had a real reason to actually hate the guy. Maybe if Kushner & Arkeen were a part of it, things may have smoothed over. Izzy also knew Paul for a long time but he was doing his own thing. Slash, Duff and Matt were in and out all the time and Axl was battling his exes in court, the "Burning Hills" fax should have came right after "Sympathy for the Devil" and shut the whole thing down instead of letting it collapse over the next few years.

(Or the other way around).I never really understood why Axl brought him in.I'm pretty sure his full name is Paul Huge Tobias. I don't know for sure if the obituary is one of his grandfathers, but it's likely because Lafayette IN was mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallex78 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Paul Tobias saved GnR. He pissed off Slash, Duff and Matt from the band. I'd say he destroyed GN'R, not saved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I think Richard is the best guitarist in GN'R at the moment, he's just really underappreciated. The dude should get more material to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
