Paul Tobias appreciation thread

Obviously Paul helped Axl out when he was at what seemed to be his lowest point, and for that we all owe him our thanks. I've never been too worried about this "controversy", I understand where Slash was coming from, for the lead guitar player in a band, he wants to have a say in what goes on with the guitars, and if he felt like he couldn't work with Tobias, that was his right. At the same time, Paul was an old friend of Axl's who helped him through some tough times and in the songwriting department, so it was his right to want to have him around at that time.

Only thing that confused me was why he left after the band got going, but I guess he just didn't want to get involved with a hectic tour schedule, which is entirely his right as well.
