Ashlar Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi Brian,thanks for taking the time to write. Sorry it's taken me so long towrite back. I use Rotosound strings. I used to use D'Addario, butrecently switched. They are sort of tough to find, but worth it. theyare really popular in England, but still not big over here. As forsession work for pop groups, it's pretty fun to just go in to a studioand hear a song and play over it. I love music. I play on as manydifferent types of things that I possibly can. It's what i've done mywhole life and feel so blessed that I'm able to actually make a livingat it. There are huge differences between playing with Gn'R and ANYONEelse. Seriously, it's like my dream band. The Replacements were one ofmy all time favorite bands, Robin blew my mind the first time i saw himwith NIN and Brain is probably THE baddest drummer there is. Axl isunlike any other singer i've ever worked with. Absolute genius. It'ssuch an honor to stand next to him onstage (it can also be quitefrightening). He's heavier than just about anyone that's been.richard> -------- Original Message --------> Subject: Hey Richard!> From: > Date: Mon, September 26, 2005 11:50 am> To: 4tus@richardfortusonline.com> > Hey!> > I have been wanting to write you for along time, just to say a few things> and ask a few questions.

Maestro Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Haha, everybody sends richard emails with non-gnr related questions like "what strings do you use?", "what's your favourite song", "What pick color do you like".To me, it all seems like a cover-up for the important questions. (What I would also do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashlar Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 when i was thinking up questions i wanted it to be more about richard then CD or Axl as he gets those emails constantly. im suprised he volunteered the little blurb about everyone. i thought it was funny he didn't mention dizzy. doesn't shock me he didn't mention the pitman guy, i dont think he ever has.
