my question is this.. I've yet to see any clips of Ashba playing a Les Paul, and to me at least, a Les Paul frontman is as much GN'R as anything is. Slash of course set the expectation, but with Robin and Bucket both having used one as well, quite frankly I can't see many GN'R songs sounding right without one. Does anyone know more about Ashba and whether he ever uses one/ intends to do so with GN'R? This whole thing is a little strange, a little surreal, a little falling apart as far as exactly what GN'R "is" anymore, but surely this is one thing that will stay intact?
