What happened to Paul Tobias??

[axl in lafayette]

Here Axl says, in 2001, that Paul worked underground for the last 7 years and without him there "would be NO more Guns N' Roses"..

So he was there then, and since has seemingly dissapeared.  ANY info on his whereabouts or current situation within the band?

[Lucky]

that's why the album isnt finished.
Paul is not there.
pittman just couldnt handle all the work alone. hence the delays.



isnt it funny how much this band has managed to contradict it self over the years?

[Duffio]

He doesn't like touring. So after 01 ?he departed.

Saying there'd be no more guns without Tobias and here we are in 2007, and Tobias isn't in GnR anymore.

He was saying that Paul kept the band together thru some extremely tough times.   Paul left the band once it was time to tour, because he never wanted to be in the touring band.   

The way I see it, Paul stuck by the band as long as Axl needed him too.   Once things were more in place, Paul stepped back and they got Richard.   And who knows what level of involvment he still has with the band.

that's what Axl said: without him there "would be NO more Guns N' Roses".  :rant:Without him!, my god what about the ex- originals members?, I can't understand this, specially that line, I mean according to the originals ones, he was one of the last reason GN'R is not together today, He's a  "Yes, man", he told Axl that he didn't need Slash.

without him there "would be NO more Guns N' Roses".      >:(oh please!

mank rage is pre-gnr

[polluxlm]

He's still a studio musician for GN'R.

[gandra]

he left gnr with same reason like izzy stradlin,he don't like life on the road?

But i'm sure he still work with gunsnroses

[DuffRock]

no mention of mank Rage here???

[del5150]

latest rumours/info: tobias is working on soundtrack music. tobias is working on new mank RAGE material with mickler and lank. tobias is re-mastering some more mank RAGE demos. tobias is giving lank a hand with lank's solo project. tobias is alive and kickin'.

[GnR-NOW]

Paul Tobais is synonymous with GNR.  I mean you hear Paul Tobais you always think SFTD, GNR 1994, atleast I do.

[Krispy Kreme]

Paul is now doing yard work for Axl.

and thats the fuckin truth

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Paul's still living off the royalties he receives as a credited co-writer for Back Off Bitch 

[GnR-NOW]

How awesome would it be if Paul made an appearance on the 2007 CD World Tour !?

No offense, but I wouldn't exactly jump for joy.  That's just me though.

[del5150]

just for the record: Tobias' old last name, "Huge", is pronounced "Hyu-gee"... (see Appetite's liner notes)

[del5150]

maybe he is out flying planes

[CheapJon]

and how do you pronounce "Hyu"?  

[del5150]

perhaps he is out practicing metaphysics

[del5150]

grape-vine: tobias is stimulating his brain by taking some college courses.

And you know this how?

[del5150]

just something i heard somewhere... could just be another rumour.

[mank Rager]

Besides being a guitarist,Tobias is an accomplished pianist...Rumour has it, Lank is working on melodies and lyrics for a few of Tobias' piano pieces.

[hank]

His guitar work on the Mank Rage stuff is awesome. The lead in 'Makes no sense' really kicks ass. There is also some great stuff on 'Humblesong'. I think Paul is in Iraq as we speak. He is working things out for us all.

[Communist China]

I assume Paul and Ron will be playing most of the rhythm parts on CD.

[LunsJail]

I assume Paul and Ron will be playing most of the rhythm parts on CD.

I wouldn't assume anything at this point.

Haha, probably a good idea.

[Voodoochild]

That would rock.

Also, I think his work on CITR was pretty good, along with the piano melody.

message to jarmo: please don't merge!
there are currently 2 topics by this name...the other one is older and full of negativity and "paul-bashing"... (like the whole yoko ono thing)... while this one is more positive, stays on track, and has current information and rumours... i am afraid if the 2 were merged that the vibe of this one will get lost in the vibe of the older one... please don't merge!...anyway... just something for your consideration... hope this finds you well... (by the way, you do a great job)

[BlowUpYourVideo]

So, Paul Tobias is taking a college course in piano in Iraq? Or have I gotten lost somewhere?

[del5150]

ha!... you made me laugh! thanks!. (i needed that!)

[GnR-NOW]

You're right.  But it would be pretty funny if Axl was like I have a special guest and everyone would think either Slash, Izzy or even Buckethead, nd then he introduces Mr. Paul Tobais.

I just want to know what happens to the mods in this section? the exact same thread is about 8 threads under this one

[JMack]

Studio arrangements and a studio musician for the most part.

[del5150]

tobias is doing well and making music as he will be til he dies

[del5150]

rumour/info:... Tobias and Lank are working on a piano-based song with the working title "Union".

[FINCKLESTEIN]

Paul moved to Southeast China and is now learning to be a Sage while living the Tao according to Lao Tzu. His guitar is no longer of use.... He's in a better place now

[isa]
