[Malcolm]

Sry ive looked everywhere but does anyone know whatever happened to paul

[Captain P?l]

nobody knows.. i think. there is a thread about him in the X-gunners section. maybe you will find your answers there?

[usurper]

After the Vegas shows the man just dissapered, what happened to Paul? Is he still alive? Why isn't he not making music? A lot of people (Slash, Duff, Matt, Fans) have given Paul a bad rap but I think he is just misunderstood. So the questions is

WHAT HAPPENED TO PAUL TOBIAS?

Paul "Huge" Tobias is the Yoko Ono of Guns N Roses. I say good riddance!  he wasn't all that good anyway.

I think he is quite good, very underated

I found this interesting tidbit on MyGNR. It is apparently a short interview with Dizzy by Sp1at. The first answer is vague but intriguing. Oh, if only Axl would let us know what the hell is going on!!

1) Do you know what happened to Paul Huge?

DR) He was dismissed.

2) Have you ever been to 'Red Rocks'. If so, what did you think of the place?

DR) Having grown up in Colorado, I went to dozens of shows at Red Rocks and it is one of the finest if not the finest venue on this planet. Many great shows, many great memories.

3) Do you think there is any chance of Coma or Civil War being played live in the future?

DR) There are G n R tribute bands all over the world right now and I?m sure many are playing Civil War but only the hardest of the hardcore are playing Coma and they are all playing them both incorrectly.

4) Do you involve yourself with the planning of GN'R, or do you leave that to Axl

DR) If someone asks my opinion, I give it.

5) Do you expect CD to deliver a number one single?

DR) If you all go buy it and ask to hear it then yes.

So that means he was fucking fired?!? Axl said he quit because he hated touring!!!

Somebodies fucking lying!!!!!! 

[ppbebe]

Wasn't Paul essentially Axls old friend from his hometown? 

Paul "Huge" Tobias is the Yoko Ono of Guns N Roses.

I should have thought that Some say otherwise. Guns N Roses must have had so many Yoko Onos.

Why the name change from Huge to Tobias? Did he marry a guy or something? LMAO!!

No, you homophobe. He changed it because he could, Axl, Dizzy, Duff, Slash and pretty much everybody who has ever played in GNR has changed their name

[jameslofton29]

Most people dont change their last name. Axl did, but he had a legit reason. I dont remember any of the other members changing their last name.

Whatever, I am not here to argue with you

[jameslofton29]

Not here to argue?? Then why are you judging someone you don't even know by calling them a homophobe over a minor joke?

[vicarious existence]

Uhhh, I thought "Huge" was just a nickname... I don't think he actually had his name legally changed.

[mrsaxlrose]

yea, Huge was just a nickname & yea he was Axl's hometown friend.

He was not that good? Its funny since he played on SFTD and no one ever said the playing on that sucked. He was not the Ono of gnr since he was just there until they found a new player. Slash, duff or matt NEVER brough in or gave Axl any names to consider.

[jameslofton29]

 I never understood the reasoning behind bringing him into the band in the first place. For a very brief moment in time back in 1994, GNR were gonna be a 4 member band. At what point was the decision made for Axl to not play rythmn guitar and bring in Paul? I think Paul kind of gets a bad rap. He wasn't the main reason for the band breaking up. I think the disinegration would have occured with or without him. I have a question about the early 94 lineup: Where was Dizzy??

You mean Izzy's real last name is Stradlin?

 

I think he just did what Axl did, or something similar.

[jameslofton29]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Izzy. Damn! Shame on me! LMAO!

[Falcon]

Its funny since he played on SFTD and no one ever said the playing on that sucked.

Playing on a song that never should have been covered and was characterized by a former GNR member as "the sound of the band breaking up" is nothing to champion the guy about...
